It was not a fun draft to watch if you were sitting on a bunch of rookie draft picks. Outside of Ashton Jeanty and Travis Hunter, the first round rookie picks didn't go up in value, and the vaunted running back class was a big dud, with most of the third tier lasting until the third day and giving us little hope of the extra large class of future contributors that was promised going into the draft. More than ever, your directive is to trade down, or even trade out of your picks completely for veterans that can help right now or future picks in what is hopefully a better fantasy rookie draft class next year.
The Bloom 100 is ranked with the following type of dynasty fantasy football league in mind:
- Full IDP lineups including DT and CB
- PPR, start 3 WR
- Deep lineups and rosters
(Pre-draft Ranking in Parenthesis)
1(1). Ashton Jeanty (RB-LV) - As the draft drew near, Jeanty going to the Jaguars at #5 seemed likely, unless the Bears were able to trade up to Jacksonville's pick. Instead, the Jags moved up to #2 for Travis Hunter, the Browns stayed put at #5 to take DT Mason Graham, and Jeanty went to Las Vegas. The #1 pick in rookie drafts might have gotten even more valuable, as Pete Carroll will have no qualms about feeding Jeanty and harnessing the incredible stamina he shows over the course of a play and a game. Congrats if you traded up to #1.
**Tier Break**
2(2). Travis Hunter (WR/CB-JAX) - The Jaguars obviously were smitten with Hunter, and they are going to play him primarily at wide receiver. Hunter was primarily prepared for games as a corner at Colorado, so the sky is the limit with him concentrating on offense now. The team has the coaching staff and quarterback to create two strong fantasy wide receivers, so we shouldn't worry about Brian Thomas Jr.'s effect on Hunter's upside (or vice versa). Hunter should be the #2 pick, whether in IDP or offense-only leagues. You won't be getting him later than the fourth pick, even though he was falling past that in pre-draft dynasty rookie mocks.
**Tier Break**
3(3). Tetairoa McMillan (WR-CAR) - McMillan went top 10 and wasn't going to fall past Dallas at #12 in any scenario, so his value was solidified on Thursday night. He should become Bryce Young's #1 target right away, as the Panthers don't really have another receiver who can win the ball in the air downfield outside the numbers. It's reasonable to consider McMillan over Hunter, but Hunter has a higher ceiling.
4(4). Luther Burden III (WR-CHI) - Burden's early second-round draft capital is reassuring, and he landed on a team with good offense. But the near-term outlook with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and #10 overall pick Colston Loveland in the pass offense is cloudy for Burden to emerge. Moore has the same quality game after the catch, while Loveland can line up in the slot, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role Burden can earn in his rookie year. He's still a solid first-round rookie pick, but it will take patience to reap the rewards.
5(5). Emeka Egbuka (WR-TB) - Egbuka got a big vote of confidence as a top 20 pick. He could start the season as the primary slot receiver, with Chris Godwin's return to play timeline from a dislocated ankle still uncertain. It will be difficult for Egbuka to hit his ceiling as long as Godwin and Mike Evans are around, and some of his high draft capital is because of his strong character and run blocking (great for Bucky Irving!). However, he's still a solid use of a pick in the middle of the first round.
6(6). TreVeyon Henderson (RB-NE) - Teams that might have been more attractive fantasy destinations like Washington and Denver passed on Henderson, but landing in New England in the early second is still a good enough outcome to keep Henderson in the top 5-6 of rookie drafts. The lack of established pass catchers other than Stefon Diggs, who is coming off an ACL tear, could set Henderson up to be a very strong PPR running back from day one.
7(7). Omarion Hampton (RB-LAC) - Hampton went off the board as the #2 running back, as expected, and he landed on a team that wants to establish the run. It's not clear that he'll be decisively better than Najee Harris in the one-two punch approach the team will take in the backfield, although we should project Hampton to lead the backfield in touches in 2026 when Harris becomes a free agent again. Hampton will go off the board in rookie drafts earlier than I would take him.
8(8). Kaleb Johnson (RB-PIT) - Johnson fell to the mid-third, so the NFL didn't like him nearly as much as Hampton/Henderson/Judkins, even though he was right on their heels in pre-draft rankings. Expect Johnson to take over the Najee Harris role in the Steelers offense, so there's instant fantasy relevance, but if Mason Rudolph is the quarterback (and maybe even if Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback), this offense will be no place to look for fantasy overachievers. Johnson, like Hampton, should be projected for a larger role in year two, but there is some danger that he'll never be more than a 1A.
9(9). Quinshon Judkins (RB-CLE) - Judkins was set up in a better spot for instant fantasy value than Hampton for a day, and then the Browns took another rookie back, Dylan Sampson, in the fourth round. The team says they see him as a workhorse, so that should raise his long-term ceiling. However, for Judkins to hit, the Browns will need to improve from their 2024 league-worst scoring offense ignominy. It's hard to get excited about this landing spot, but Judkins is still a solid first-round rookie pick.
10(10). Cam Ward (QB-TEN) - There was no suspense when Ward went at #1 overall to Tennessee. We'll see if he is elevated by Brian Callahan's coaching. The supporting cast in the passing game is underwhelming outside of Calvin Ridley and the offensive line is still coming together under Bill Callahan. Ward should still be drafted as a low QB1 in redraft and considered similar to Kyler Murray in both short and long term fantasy outlook projections, with a chance to be better than Murray as a passer. Ward probably won't ever crash the top 3 fantasy quarterbacks, but he could settle into the top 5-6 in a best-case scenario, and there's an argument to take him #1 in superflex drafts.
11(14). Colston Loveland (TE-CHI) - The combination of top 10 draft capital and being paired with Ben Johnson is very promising for Loveland, and he was going to be a lot higher on this list - maybe even top 5 - if the Bears didn't draft Luther Burden III early on the second draft. You still have to like how aggressive the team is about building the offense, and Johnson created an instant hit in Sam LaPorta at tight end. There's an argument for Loveland in the top 5 in tight end premium drafts, and he could easily end up being more valuable than any of the running backs and all but the most valuable wide receiver or two from this draft. Usually, when we like the player and situation, but "too many mouths to feed" lowers value, we feel like we overthought the rookie draft outlook in hindsight.
12(11). Abdul Carter (EDGE-NYG) - Rushing on the other side of Myles Garrett would have been more fun for fantasy, but it was clear by Monday before the draft that Carter was more likely going to the Giants. Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux are an already formidable edge rush duo, so Carter may start out more as a rotational player, and the Giants aren't going to give him a lot of pass-rush-friendly game scripts. Still, his upside is #1 edge in IDP leagues, and he shouldn't fall out of the first round, especially in big-play scoring IDP leagues.
13(12). Jalen Milroe (QB-SEA) - Milroe getting invited to the draft was a little ambitious in hindsight, but not as ill-informed as Shedeur Sanders' draft projections. While Milroe did fall into the late third round and Seattle didn't trade up to get him, he still landed on a team that could give him a chance to start in 2026. Sam Darnold's deal is basically year-to-year after 2025, and if you think Darnold bombs outside of Minnesota, then Milroe's immense fantasy upside could be unlocked. He's still a viable late first-round pick in superflex leagues and has as much upside as anyone going outside of the first in 1QB leagues.
14(13). Tyler Warren (TE-IND) - Warren to the Colts was expected, if not likely, but many didn't see Colston Loveland going ahead of him. Whether Loveland went ahead of him or not, the Colts have to be seen as a mediocre fantasy destination at best, and one that could have big changes coming at both head coach and quarterback in the near future. Jonathan Taylor's presence also puts a damper on Warren becoming a rich man's Taysom Hill. Instead, we are staring at an outlook closer to Tucker Kraft, which isn't terrible, but a sign of the lack of excitement when it's time to use your late first in rookie drafts.
15(50). RJ Harvey (RB-DEN) - Harvey was the only member of the deep third tier of running backs to emerge as a second-day pick with a clear path to lead his backfield in touches. The history of Sean Payton's backfield shenanigans in Denver looms, but he also hasn't had a hand-picked back that he selected in the second round.
16(18). Jayden Higgins (WR-HOU) - Higgins got expected strong early second draft capital, and he landed with a team that has an ascending young quarterback and vacancy at WR2. While Nico Collins will remain the more compelling downfield option for C.J. Stroud, it's not hard to picture Higgins as a middle-class version of Tee (no relation) Higgins as long as the Texans offense bounces back after a down 2024.
17(20). Carson Schwesinger (LB-CLE) - Schwesinger is going to hoover up tackles opportunities playing behind #5 overall pick Mason Graham, and he should get a lot playing for a team that could be picking #1 overall next year. We'll be watching the camp battle between the early second round pick and Jordan Hicks, Mohamoud Diabate, and Jerome Baker, but long term value-wise this is a great spot for Schwesinger, especially in tackle-heavy leagues with the off-ball linebacker pool dwindling in leagues that classify 3-4 outside linebackers as defensive end since the change to "true position".
18(15). Jack Bech (WR-LV) - Bech's late second draft capital and landing spot with the Raiders wasn't a disaster, but going earlier in the second to a McVay or McVay disciple offense was the more attractive possibility before the draft. Bech has some overlap with Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, so like Egbuka and Burden, it's hard to see him maximizing his upside in the next 2-3 years in this spot. The addition of Bech's blocking ability is a win for Ashton Jeanty.
19(17). Matthew Golden (WR-GB) - Golden wasn't the first wide receiver off the board, and while he did go in the first round, he went to the pass offense that notoriously does not have a WR1. The Packers also drafted Cordarrelle Patterson clone Savion Williams on the second day to further complicate the picture. Golden could step right into Christian Watson's role and have similar boom/bust weekly value right away, but he'll need to hit his best-case scenario as an NFL receiver to be more than that during his rookie contract.
20(21). Bhayshul Tuten (RB-JAX) - After Liam Coen pronounced his admiration of Bucky Irving's running style and turned Irving into a fantasy RB1 in his rookie year, we should be looking more at destination than the early fourth-round draft capital (slightly better than Irving!) for Tuten. Tuten's high-end range of outcomes includes being the second most valuable running back in this rookie class.
**Tier Break**
21(19). Jaylin Noel (WR-HOU) - C.J. Stroud's rookie year had us thinking that he could support the value of Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell. Even in a down year for the offense, there were times that that was true in the month or so that all three were healthy, so why can't Stroud eventually support Collins, Jayden Higgins, and Noel's value? Reuniting the Iowa State receivers is a fun story to boot.
22(28). Kyle Williams (WR-NE) - There was some hope that Williams would be reunited with Cam Ward, but instead, he has a chance to become a favorite of Drake Maye after the Patriots took him in the third round. Williams is an outstanding separator, and he could rocket to the top of the target pecking order soon.
23(16). Cam Skattebo (RB-NYG) - It was a disappointing draft for Skattebo on three accounts: he fell to the third day, he was likely drafted to only be a committee back (with Tyrone Tracy Jr.), and he landed in a poor offense with a middling long-term outlook. He could still exceed expectations down the line, and has a path to more playing time if Tracy continues to have fumble problems.
24(39). Isaac TeSlaa (WR-DET) - The Lions didn't just like TeSlaa, they were intent on not leaving the draft without him. Brad Holmes traded two future thirds to move up 30 picks in this year's third round to take TeSlaa, who has the physical attributes of an alpha outside receiver, but is very green coming from Hillsdale and then two years at Arkansas. This is a good offense, and Jameson Williams may be gone after 2026.
25(24). Jalon Walker (EDGE/LB-ATL) - Walker fell a little further than expected, but the Falcons were thrilled to see him there at the #15 pick. His outlook is better in sack-heavy than tackle-heavy leagues, but the Falcons have created IDP value in another hybrid player in Kaden Elliss.
26(25). Tre Harris (WR-LAC) - Harris went in the second round to a team with a good quarterback, and the Chargers don't have an entrenched top outside target. Still, his upside is capped by his somewhat narrow skill set.
27(34). Elijah Arroyo (TE-SEA) - The Seahawks think they have gotten a top-end passing game weapon in Arroyo, who certainly has the athletic profile to become one. His game is very raw, but Seattle has long-term vacancies in their passing game target tree, so selecting Arroyo could pay off in due time.
28(63). Terrance Ferguson (TE-LAR) - The Rams were clearly into Ferguson's top-end athleticism package, combined with passing game skills, and selected him at #46, which was about as early as he could have gone in this strong tight end class. They also didn't have a first-round pick after trading out of #26 to get Atlanta's first next year, so that only underscores how much they liked him. The Rams have been drafting well, so we should give them the benefit of the doubt on this pick.
29(36). Mykel Williams (DE-SF) - Williams going at #11 helped enhance his value because he'll be rushing the passer opposite Nick Bosa. We know that Williams will have a good foundation of tackles because of his run defense prowess, but if his ankle injury was concealing his upside as a pass rusher last year, he could end up being one of the two or three most valuable IDPs in this class.
30(33). Nick Emmanwori (S-SEA) - Emmanwori wasn't the first safety drafted - that honor went to Malaki Starks when the Ravens took him in the first round - the Seahawks gave up a second and third round pick to move up to #35 for their new Kam Chancellor, so he might as well have gone in the first. Safeties can be a dime a dozen in IDP leagues, but Emmanwori has the well-rounded skill set and box safety profile to be a mainstay at the top of the rankings.
31(55). Demetrius Knight Jr. (LB-CIN) - It looks like the Bengals will part ways with Germaine Pratt sooner rather than later, so their second-round pick, Knight, could be a three-down linebacker in short order. He's #2 among pure off-ball linebackers in this class behind Schwesinger.
32(35). Jihaad Campbell (LB/EDGE-PHI) - Campbell fell to the end of the first round, but to a team that can set him up with pass rush opportunities galore. It is hard to see a path to off-ball linebacker snaps with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean on the roster, but Campbell won't be a big contributor in year one anyway. He might be a "good things come to those who wait" pick.
33(38). Mason Taylor (TE-NYJ) - Taylor went off the board as the #3 tight end in a very good class at the position, but to a team with a lackluster pass offense. Taylor is a high-floor/low-ceiling prospect for fantasy as a Jet, but at least he went to one of the teams that his dad Jason played for.
**Tier Break**
34(23). Jalen Royals (WR-KC) - Royals is a nifty receiver who could become a preferred target for Patrick Mahomes II, but he comes with third-day draft capital, and the Chiefs' pass offense has been disappointing as of late, to say the least.
35(26). Dylan Sampson (RB-CLE) - Sampson could be the lightning to Judkins' thunder, but he'll have to prove he deserves more than change-of-pace work to have fantasy relevance over the course of his rookie deal unless Judkins gets hurt.
36(73). Woody Marks (RB-HOU) - Marks has more of a passing-down back skill set, but the Texans liked him enough to trade next year's third to Miami so they could take him in the fourth round. He should get a chance to spell Joe Mixon at times and show that he deserves to be a big part of their backfield picture once Mixon's tenure is over.
37(41). Savion Williams (WR/RB-GB) - Williams is a Swiss army knife as an offensive weapon, but he landed in a pass offense that already has a full kitchen knife set. He could make a strong case to be more than a gimmick player, but this is the wrong offense to be looking for that to turn into true fantasy relevance. Like Cordarrelle Patterson, it might take a while for him to hit his stride for fantasy.
38(57). Jaxson Dart (QB-NYG) - A team traded back into the first for Dart, but it was the Giants, a team that could have a new head coach and GM next year. Dart has modest upside for fantasy with Jared Goff being close to his ceiling, so don't overdraft him, especially in superflex leagues.
39(93). Nick Martin (LB-SF) - Martin was highly productive before getting hurt, and he has a clear path to Dre Greenlaw's old job. He'll be underrated in rookie drafts despite getting third-round draft capital.
40(62). Jaylin Lane (WR-WAS) - Lane adds speed to the Commanders' wide receiver group, and he could be a primary option in the slot once Deebo Samuel Sr. has outlived his usefulness. Being attached to Jayden Daniels is a good thing.
41(72). James Pearce Jr. (EDGE-ATL) - The Falcons would have reportedly been willing to take Pearce at #15, so perhaps he's still underrated here. He should be a higher priority in sack-heavy leagues.
42(83). Kyle Monangai (RB-CHI) - The Bears were in on Ashton Jeanty, but never had the chance to take him sitting at #10. They could have taken a running back on the second day, but waited until the seventh round to take Monangai, whose hard-nosed approach and efficiency are the opposite of D'Andre Swift. If you think Ben Johnson will sour on Swift (again?), then Monangai should be a priority late-round pick.
43(46). Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB-WAS) - Croskey-Merritt was at the top of the combine snub lists, but he didn't escape the attention of the Commanders, who are projected to have turnover in their backfield next year.
44(29). Tahj Brooks (RB-CIN) - Brooks was a Matt Waldman favorite, and he has a good chance to be the primary backup to Chase Brown, even though he fell to the sixth round.
45(27). Brashard Smith (RB-KC) - Smith was a pre-draft favorite of mine, but his fall to the seventh round means he's as likely to be Darwin Thompson as he is to be Isiah Pacheco. This backfield does lack long-term clarity, so he's worth a shot.
46(85). Cody Simon (LB-ARI) - Simon's talent is about in alignment with his fourth-round draft capital, but the Cardinals' depth chart at off-ball linebacker should give him a chance to earn a starting job by the end of year two, perhaps even in the middle of the defense.
47(44). Harold Fannin Jr. (TE-CIN) - Fannin's draft capital says that the Browns believe his production will translate despite middling athleticism, but sharing tight end targets with David Njoku on a poor offensive team with no long-term answer at quarterback is a depressing outlook.
48(49). Jaydon Blue (RB-DAL) - Blue projects as a complementary back offering home run speed, but the Cowboys' poor running back depth chart gives him a chance to create a role for himself as a rookie.
49(91). Oronde Gadsden II (TE-LAC) - Gadsden's profile got a boost when the Chargers took him in the fifth round. He's a pure receiving tight end and should get a chance to play that role in year two or three if he develops.
50(81). Jarquez Hunter (RB-LAR) - The Rams shouldn't have been willing to trade a fourth and sixth-round pick to move up for Hunter if they were happy with Blake Corum. Kyren Williams is still the man in the Rams backfield, but if he breaks down from overuse, Hunter could be the back that soaks up the touches.
51(52). Chris Paul Jr. (LB-LAR) - Paul didn't go until the fifth round, but the Rams know how to identify defensive talent. Plus, he has a green dot linebacker profile.
52(40). Trevor Etienne (RB-CAR) - Etienne is a very useful back, especially on passing downs, but he projects as a committee back at best, and Chuba Hubbard was just signed to a long-term deal. This pick had to make you feel bad if you have Jonathon Brooks.
53(32). Devin Neal (RB-NO) - Neal fell to the sixth round, although if he can endear himself to Kellen Moore and the new coaching staff more than Kendre Miller did to the previous staff, he might be in line to get more work when Alvin Kamara rides off into the sunset.
54(31). Jordan James (RB-SF) - James was a Dane Brugler favorite, but he'll have to overtake Isaac Guerendo if he's going to matter in fantasy leagues. The 49ers' revolving door at running back and their recent track record with picks at the position aren't promising.
55(30). Damien Martinez (RB-SEA) - Martinez fell to the seventh round as his power back game just wasn't that coveted by the NFL. He could do a good impression of Ken Walker III if he gets on the field, but Martinez also might get beaten out by Kenny McIntosh for the last roster spot at running back.
56(43). Shedeur Sanders (QB-CLE) - Sanders fell to the fifth round and wasn't even the first quarterback the Browns drafted. Hopefully, the humbling fall helps him make the most of this opportunity, but he's still likely to be overdrafted in superflex leagues. Don't fall for the trap - his fantasy upside wasn't that enticing even if he had gone #2 overall to Cleveland.
57(64). Chimere Dike (WR-TEN) - Dike was the first receiver the Titans selected, but it wasn't until the third day - although it was with the first pick of the third day - and they added two more receivers who could have as much or more fantasy value down the line as him. His speed is his main asset, so he could become more interesting if he gets on the same page as Cam Ward outside of structure.
58(75). Xavier Restrepo (WR-TEN) - Restrepo went undrafted, but he was reunited with Cam Ward, who fed him to the tune of a 69-1127-11 line in 2024. Watch the reports out of camp closely to see if the two rekindle that connection on a team with a thin wide receiver depth chart.
59(37). Elic Ayomanor (WR-TEN) - Ayomanor was rated higher than a third-day pick by many, but the Titans didn't prioritize him over Dike, who they took at the top of the fourth, followed by Ayomanor at the bottom of the fourth. His possession receiver profile caps his upside, but there's opportunity on an unsettled wide receiver depth chart with a rookie quarterback starter.
60(51). DJ Giddens (RB-IND) - Giddens is looking at being a change-of-pace complement to Jonathan Taylor, but if Taylor goes down, he could show that he's capable of more despite falling to the fifth round.
61(80). Kalel Mullings (RB-TEN) - Mullings was still on the board in the sixth round, but he is the most powerful back on the Titans roster, and he could show that he's part of the long term picture for the team with Tony Pollard probably in his last year on the roster and Tajae Sharpe unable to stay healthy.
62(89). Tyler Shough (QB-NO) - The Saints drafted Shough in the early second round, just when Derek Carr is hurt and not exactly on the best terms with the team. Shough's "seventh-year breakout" profile may amount to nothing, but he'll get a shot to start, which is worth something, especially in superflex leagues.
63(56). Danny Stutsman (LB-NO) - Stutsman is a two-down thumper who could be the heir to Demario Davis's spot. He would also be the best tackler on a bad team, so I might be underselling his fantasy upside.
64(88). Walter Nolen (DT-ARI) - Nolen going at #16 shows that the character concerns were overblown, at least in the Cardinals' eyes. He has a top 10 defensive tackle ceiling and should be moved up a round or two if not more in leagues that start two DTs.
65(74). LeQuint Allen (RB-JAX) - Allen fell all the way to the seventh round, so his passing down skills weren't valued much by the league. He could end up being the Rachaad White to Bhayshul Tuten's Bucky Irving, so we shouldn't completely write him off.
66(97). Jahdae Barron (CB-DEN) - Barron was the first corner drafted (unless you count Travis Hunter) and should get on the field opposite Patrick Surtain II, an excellent spot for IDP production under the rookie corner rule.
67(60). Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR-LV) - Thornton will help other receivers get open more than create value for himself, and he might not be the best deep threat on the team with Tre Tucker still developing. It was good to see the Raiders devote so many picks to the offense.
68(67). Tai Felton (WR-MIN) - Felton went in the third round, but he doesn't project as anything more exciting than a Jalen Nailor replacement down the line. Nailor has actually been a hit, and he's still barely on the fantasy radar.
69(53). Tory Horton (WR-SEA) - Horton lasted until the fifth round, but he does have a speedy outside receiver profile, and there's an opening there with DK Metcalf traded to Pittsburgh.
70(70). Shemar Stewart (DL-CIN) - Stewart could have some sneaky value as a DT, but if he stays at DE in IDP leagues, his lack of awareness and polish will make him mere depth at a stacked position.
71(95). Mason Graham (DT-CLE) - Graham was a top-five overall pick, but he helps more by stuffing the run and creating disruption than by filling up the stat sheet. He's still worth a late pick if you start 2 DTs.
72(22). Isaiah Bond (WR-FA) - Bond went undrafted and was still unsigned as of this writing. Disturbing details about the accusation of sexual assault in his recent past have surfaced, so we may never see him in the NFL. Nonetheless, he is one of the most talented receivers in this class, so depending on how you manage your picks re: character, he could be worth a late pick while we wait for the legal system to resolve his future.
73(66). Mario Anderson Jr. (RB-LAR) - Anderson went undrafted, but to a smart organization. He's headed for the practice squad, but we could hear from him in the future.
74(82). Phil Mafah (RB-DAL) - Mafah has the body of a big bruising NFL back, but he doesn't always run like one. If he figures out how to, he could be the early down and short yardage back on the weakest running back depth chart in the league.
75(68). Donovan Ezeiruaku (EDGE-DAL) - The Cowboys have spent second-round picks on edge rushers for three of the last four years. A good recipe if they don't sign Micah Parsons long term, but bad for the fantasy outlook of Ezeiraku, Marshawn Kneeland, and Sam Williams if they do, and they should.
76(71). Nic Scourton (EDGE-CAR) - Scourton could end up being the more productive pro than his college teammate Shemar Stewart. But his upside is modest, and the Panthers' pass rush is still a work in progress.
77(87). Keandre Lambert-Smith (WR-LAC) - Lambert-Smith will add field-stretching speed to the wide receiver room, but unless Tre Harris is a bust, Lambert-Smith will just be a role player.
78(69). Mike Green (EDGE-BAL) - Green fell to the late second because of character and perhaps level of play concerns, but he was a very productive pass rusher. The Ravens are a good landing spot, but the edge group is crowded with recent second-day draft picks.
79(59). Andrew Armstrong (WR-MIA) - Armstrong went undrafted, but with Tyreek Hill probably only around for another year or two at most, he could have a shot to win a role in the future.
80(61). Tez Johnson (WR-TB) - Johnson landed in a good offense, and he could be productive if injuries forced him into a larger role. But for now, he's just practice-squad material as a seventh-round pick.
81(45). Montrell Johnson Jr. (RB-PHI) - Johnson went undrafted and probably won't make the roster. On the other hand, A.J. Dillon and Tyrion Davis-Price are what stands between him and a roster spot. Stay tuned.
82(48). Ollie Gordon II (RB-MIA) - Gordon is the most powerful back on the Dolphins roster right now. However, their offensive line is a question mark, and he lasted until the sixth round. It's hard to know if the Dolphins are comfortable with De'Von Achane and 2024 fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, or if they just had too many needs elsewhere to spend an earlier pick at running back.
83(65). Arian Smith (WR-NYJ) - Smith gives the Jets a vertical speed element to their passing game, but the short and long-term prognosis for passing production is dim with Justin Fields and who knows as the plan at quarterback, respectively.
84(UR). Pat Bryant (WR-DEN) - Bryant is a limited ceiling possession receiver, but being mentioned with Michael Thomas and going in the third round is a sign that Sean Payton likes him, so he earned a spot in the post-draft 100.
85(78). Kain Medrano (LB-WAS) - Medrano lasted until the sixth round, but one of he and 2024 fifth-round pick Jordan Magee could be the heir to Bobby Wagner's spot in the middle of the defense.
86(42). Barrett Carter (LB-CIN) - Carter was the second pick of the Bengals' retooling at linebacker, but Demetrius Knight Jr. was drafted to be the starter. Akeem Davis-Gaither never got a foothold after he was drafted in a similar scenario to Logan Wilson.
87(94). Malaki Starks (S-BAL) - Starks should be an outstanding complement to Kyle Hamilton, but it will be tough for that to translate to production as the likely last line of defense in centerfield.
88(UR). Teddye Buchanan (LB-BAL) - 2023 third-round pick Trenton Simpson has underwhelmed in his first two years, and the selection of Buchanan in the fourth round indicates as much. Don't be surprised if he overtakes Simpson.
89(76). Konata Mumpfield (WR-LAR) - Mumpfield is a Matt Waldman favorite, and the Rams liked his route-running skills enough to take him in the seventh round. There's a path for him to make the roster as the fifth receiver.
90(UR). Ricky White III (WR-SEA) - White has a chance to get an inside track to a spot as an outside receiver in what should be a good camp battle with fifth-round pick Tory Horton
91(54). Smael Mondon Jr.. (LB-PHI) - Mondon has enough passing down skills for the Eagles to deem him worthy of a fourth-round pick, but landing in Philly, where they are set at off-ball linebacker, makes it tough to see a path to playing time in the near future.
92(84). Gunnar Helm (TE-TEN) - Helm could be a starter for the Titans sooner rather than later after they took him in the fourth round, but he has a boring possession receiver profile.
93(UR). Caleb Lohner (TE-DEN) - When a team takes a basketball convert at tight end who barely played football, we should be open to him hitting down the line. Lohner is a tight end premium special for the late rounds.
94(UR). Tommy Mellott (WR-LV) - This quarterback-to-receiver convert is trying to follow in the footsteps of Julian Edelman, and he happens to play for a team owned partially by Tom Brady.
95(UR). Jordan Watkins (WR-SF) - Watkins' rugged slot receiver/returner profile was attractive enough to the 49ers for them to spend the last pick of the fourth round on him. He should make the roster.
96(UR). Maxwell Hairston (CB-BUF) - After going in the first round, Hairston will be battling with Tre'Davious White on his second go-round with the Bills to start opposite Christian Benford. Whoever wins will be targeted a lot and have a chance to show up on the stat sheet.
97(47). Isaiah Neyor (WR-SF) - Neyor went undrafted, but no one doubts the magnitude of his physical talents. The 49ers' wide receiver depth chart is crowded, but he could be a practice-squad player worth watching.
98(58). Elijah Badger (WR-KC) - Badger went undrafted, but his combination of speed and natural abilities as a receiver could win him a spot on the Chiefs' practice squad with a lot of players vying to be a part of the wide receiver room in a year or two.
99(98). Jake Briningstool (TE-KC) - Briningstool went undrafted, but the Chiefs gave him over $200,000 guaranteed, and Travis Kelce isn't getting any younger. Briningstool is one to monitor on the practice squad with his penchant for making plays on the ball in the air.
100(100). Tyrone Broden (WR-SEA) - Broden went undrafted, but he landed with Seattle, where the outside wide receiver depth is wide open. We'll watch to see if he's mentioned in the same breath as fifth-round pick Tory Horton and seventh-round pick Ricky White III.
