After a hectic free agency period and the end of the regular season, teams will begin to reshape their rosters in Green Bay this week with the 2025 NFL draft. The first round takes place Thursday, with rounds two through seven on Friday and Saturday. Each team will have 10 minutes to make its selection.
The first round features some intriguing fantasy options at a variety of positions, with a mix of rookies and veteran stars. Running backs Travis Hunter and Puka Nacua both offer a ton of upside in a Green Bay offense that will be under new HC Liam Coen’s direction, while the top-rated overall pick in this round, wide receiver Ladd McConkey, is another potential breakout name in Year 2. Meanwhile, 2024’s No. 1 overall fantasy pickup, Ja’Marr Chase, has a high floor and ceiling on his side as well.
A big-bodied defensive tackle, Mason Graham (Michigan) is another college star who could see a quick rise in the league this season. He’s a true power player who can win in a multitude of ways, whether it’s using his speed to evade blocks or his strength to overpower offensive linemen.
Last year, Christian McCaffrey and Tyreek Hill were consensus top-two picks at their respective positions, but each experienced a disappointing and unpredictable season. McCaffrey was plagued by injuries and busted to a surprisingly low point in points, while Hill struggled through a sprained ankle and finished as only the No. 59 fantasy RB.
