Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)
Ashton Jeanty might be the only foolproof rookie pick in this year’s class. His prospect profile is dazzling, and the Raiders will turn their backfield over to him after drafting him sixth overall. Jeanty’s 2024 stats are absurd: 2,601 rushing yards, 7.0 yards per carry, 30 total touchdowns. He played against lesser competition in the Mountain West Conference but did just fine in games against top competition, with 200 scrimmage yards and three TDs against Oregon and 126 yards from scrimmage against Penn State in the CFB playoffs. Extraordinary contact balance is Jeanty’s calling card. It’s so hard to knock this guy off his feet. Jeanty forces a ton of missed tackles and is a Houdini-like escape artist in close quarters. Jeanty is also a good pass catcher. Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly likes to operate at a breakneck pace, which is good for Jeanty. Fast pace = more plays = more Jeanty touches. This is an easy choice for the No. 1 pick in rookie drafts regardless of format.

Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC)
Maybe dynasty folk would be more excited about Omarion Hampton if Ashton Jeanty didn’t exist. Hampton piled up 3,100 rushing yards and 30 TD runs over his last two seasons at North Carolina. He also had 67 receptions over that span. The 220-pound Hampton is a powerful downhill runner who’s a nightmare to bring down when he has a full head of steam. He’s terrific between the tackles, squeezing through tight spaces and powering through contact. Although he doesn’t string moves together very often, Hampton is decisive with his cuts and has surprising lateral agility. He’s good at reading linebackers and cutting back after they commit. The Chargers grabbed Hampton at No. 22 in the draft and figure to start him ahead of Najee Harris, whom they added in free agency. This seems likely to be a 60-40 split in Hampton’s favor.
