Josh Simmons' one-sack-allowed mark over 1,131 Ohio State snaps brings nimble protection to the Chiefs' line, ensuring Patrick Mahomes more time to fuel a dynamic passing attack for fantasy managers. His balanced movement on run plays opens lanes, boosting Kansas City's backfield efficiency. Despite a 2024 injury, Simmons' athletic profile at 317 pounds promises a fantasy-friendly upgrade to the C

The Eagles traded up to get Campbell, moving up one spot ahead of the Chiefs to add him to their linebacker corps. Campbell was widely considered one of the best LB prospects in the NFL Draft and will add more talent to an already fierce Philadelphia defense. After notching 117 tackles last season with Alabama, Campbell is on the radar as an intriguing prospect in IDP rookie drafts.

Conerly showcased his versatility and patience in college at Oregon. He'll immediately upgrade the tackle position on the offensive line for Washington who'll look to continue to protect Jayden Daniels.

Tyleik Williams' 89th percentile run grade and 33 stops in 2023 make him a two-gapping terror on Detroit's interior, likely clogging lanes for opposing backs and frustrating fantasy managers. His immediate early-down role could force more passing attempts, creating IDP value with potential turnovers. At 334 pounds, Williams' brute force adds a fantasy hurdle for run-heavy offenses facing the Lions

Starks will solidify the Baltimore secondary as he can play safety and slot corner while forming a formidable one-two punch in the secondary with fellow safety Kyle Hamilton. Starks becomes the third Georgia Bulldogs defensive player to be selected in the first round of the 2025 Draft after Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker went at picks 11 and 15, respectively.

The Falcons traded pick 46, 242, and a 2026 first-rounder to the Rams for picks 26 and 101. Pearce led the Tennessee Volunteers in tackles for loss and sacks in 13 games last season. The trade package to the Rams is a lot, but could be worth it in the long run if Pearce turns into one of the top pass rushers in the NFL.

The Giants traded up with the Texans to move back into round one. After drafting Abdul Carter at No. 3 overall, they elect to draft the quarterback of their future in Dart. He figures to likely sit in year one behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.

Golden becomes the third wide receiver selected in the draft, behind Tet McMillan at No. 8 and Emeka Egbuka at No. 19. The former Texas Longhorn blazed 4.29 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. This marks the first time the Packers have used a first-round pick on a wide receiver since they took Javon Walker in 2002. Golden doesn't profile as a typical No. 1 receiver in fantasy or real life but his eli

Hampton finished the 2024 season with 2,033 all-purpose yards for UNC. The Chargers did bring in Najee Harris in free agency, so the pick will impact both Hampton's and Harris' fantasy value in 2025. Harris is only signed for one-year, so Hampton will carry more value for fantasy managers in dynasty formats.
