▸ ROUND 1
1.01Jeremiyah Love
Gonzo Justice's most glaring roster gap is RB1, and Jeremiyah Love is the clear top option on the board — his search rank of 15 reflects his status as the consensus top dynasty rookie RB in this class, landing in Arizona with a legitimate path to feature-back usage. The WR room is already graded A- with McMillan, Burden, and Higgins, so adding another receiver here would be redundant; addressing the structural weakness at RB with the best available player is the correct move. Love's age, college production, and landing spot make him the obvious choice to anchor a backfield that currently lacks a true Tier-1 asset.
1.02Carnell Tate
RhinoDILDO's most glaring roster weakness is at WR, where no current option grades as a true WR1, making Carnell Tate the clear best value at the 1.02. Tate lands in Tennessee with a path to immediate targets after the Titans' wide receiver overhaul, and his route-running polish as a former Ohio State standout gives him the highest dynasty ceiling among the WR options available in this pool. With Travis Hunter already on the roster as a developmental swing, adding Tate as a more traditional WR1 candidate directly addresses the stated biggest need at the position.
1.03Jadarian Price
Gonzo Justice acquired this pick from the World Champion Cowboy Homers and uses it to address their most glaring structural weakness — the RB room — after already grabbing Jeremiyah Love at 1.01. Jadarian Price is the top remaining rookie RB on the board, landing in Seattle where he has a realistic path to early-down work in a run-heavy scheme, giving the roster a second foundational backfield piece to pair with Love. With WR graded A- and TE covered by Tyler Warren, doubling down at RB in the early rounds is the highest-leverage move Gonzo Justice can make to close the gap from a 2-11 finish.
1.04Chig Okonkwo
Preston's Mahomeboy's carries a D+ grade at TE with no Tier-1 or Tier-2 options on the roster, making this the most urgent positional need entering the draft. Chig Okonkwo lands in Washington's offense as an athletic, receiving-first tight end in a system that deploys the position heavily, giving him a realistic path to FLEX-relevant production. With the top available TE options at the board all carrying uncertainty, Okonkwo's combination of NFL track record, landing spot, and age profile makes him the most actionable address for this roster's glaring weakness.
1.05Jordyn Tyson
No Guts No Glory's most glaring roster hole is at WR1, and Jordyn Tyson is the highest-ranked receiver available at pick five, landing with the Saints where he enters a rebuilding offense with a clear path to targets. His pre-draft profile as a contested-catch, big-play threat aligns with what this roster needs — a high-upside WR who can develop into the featured option the current room lacks. With WR already graded C+ and two roster receivers effectively off the board as free agents, this is a need-driven pick that also checks out on board value at this range.
1.06Kenyon Sadiq
Super Charged Grits n' Gravy, using a pick acquired from Smoketown, turns that capital directly toward their most glaring positional need: TE. Kenyon Sadiq is the top-ranked TE in this pool and lands in a Jets offense where he has a clear path to early targets, making him the best available answer to a C+ TE room currently anchored by a recovering T.J. Hockenson. With elite depth at QB, RB, and WR already locked in, a developmental TE with upside is exactly the kind of needle-moving addition a five-title roster needs to stay ahead of the field.
1.07Makai Lemon
RhinoDILDO, working with a pick acquired from Terrible Towelie's, continues to attack its WR1 need head-on — adding Makai Lemon out of Philadelphia to pair alongside first-rounder Carnell Tate. Lemon lands in a high-volume Eagles offense with a clear path to targets as a rookie FLEX contributor, giving this roster two young WR developmental pieces with upside timelines that align well in dynasty. With a C+ WR grade entering the draft and five FLEX spots to fill, doubling down on receiver capital at picks 1.02 and 1.07 is the right structural call for a team that already boasts elite QB and RB depth.
1.08Denzel Boston
With WR1 as the declared roster priority and the backfield already featuring Jonathan Taylor, Kenneth Walker, and TreVeyon Henderson, adding another RB or TE would offer diminishing returns. Denzel Boston lands in Cleveland alongside KC Concepcion, giving him a legitimate path to targets on a rebuilding Browns offense, and at search_rank 153 he is the highest-ranked WR on the board at this pick. At pick 1.08, Boston represents the best available option to begin addressing the lone structural gap on an otherwise A-grade roster.
1.09Kaytron Allen
The Bangkok Bounty Hunters' most glaring need is RB depth behind Chase Brown and Bucky Irving, and Kaytron Allen is the highest-ranked rookie RB available at this spot, landing with Washington where he enters a relatively open backfield competition. As a Penn State product who served as the lead back in a two-back committee alongside Nicholas Singleton, Allen profiles as a physical, between-the-tackles runner with legitimate early-down upside at the NFL level. With the RB depth tier dropping sharply on the Bangkok roster, securing a young, cost-controlled back with a real path to opportunity addresses the most visible structural weakness on an otherwise elite roster.
1.10Nicholas Singleton
Gonzo Justice is using a pick acquired from The Baddest Ass Team 2Ever Grace Wookies History to continue addressing their most critical roster gap — running back — having already taken Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price earlier in Round 1. Nicholas Singleton lands in Tennessee with a clear path to volume after the Titans overhauled their backfield, and his college production at Penn State (2,000+ career rushing yards with elite contact balance) supports a legitimate RB1 ceiling. With WR graded A- and TE well-covered via Tyler Warren, stacking the backfield here is the correct value play at a position where the existing roster depth drops off sharply after two Tier-2 options.
1.11Zachariah Branch
Terrible Towelie's acquired this pick from Goldbrickers in a trade and immediately puts it to use addressing their most glaring roster hole: WR depth, graded at C+ with only Rashee Rice as a Tier-1 option. Zachariah Branch lands in Atlanta with a top-15 search rank among available wideouts here, and as a 2025 rookie with speed-first traits, he offers long-term upside in a Falcons offense that needs playmakers. With RB already graded A+ and TE covered by Bowers, Terrible Towelie's can afford to invest this pick entirely in developing the WR room.
1.12Tank Bigsby
Using a pick acquired from Super Charged Grits n' Gravy, Gonzo Justice closes out a historic RB haul — having already taken Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price, and Nicholas Singleton in this draft — by adding Tank Bigsby, who lands in Philadelphia with a real path to touches behind a strong offensive line. Bigsby's youth (24) and proven NFL productivity as a power/change-of-pace back make him the highest-upside RB remaining in the pool, directly addressing the roster's biggest structural weakness. With five FLEX spots to fill and virtually no proven RB depth beyond Jaylen Warren entering this draft, the volume of backs added here transforms what was a critical liability into a legitimate positional strength.
▸ ROUND 2
2.01Emmett Johnson
Gonzo Justice has already invested heavily in the RB room this draft (Love, Price, Singleton, Bigsby), and with the position need addressed, the best available player by search rank is the priority — Emmett Johnson lands in a KC backfield with an established offensive system and carries legitimate upside as a receiving back in a high-powered offense. At search rank 113, he is the clear top option remaining on the board and adds a higher-ceiling piece to complement the depth already accumulated. The WR room is graded A- and well-stocked, so doubling back to the deepest position on the roster makes no sense when a viable FLEX contributor is sitting at the top of the pool.
2.02Omar Cooper
Using a pick acquired from RhinoDILDO, Insanely Long & Ridiculous Team Name continues to address its lone structural weakness — the WR room — after taking Denzel Boston at 1.08. Omar Cooper is the top available receiver on the board at search_rank 151, landing in New York with the Jets where he has a reasonable path to targets in a rebuilding offense. With Courtland Sutton aging out and no true WR1 on the roster, stacking two young rookie receivers in this draft is the correct build strategy for a franchise that is otherwise ready to compete with Josh Allen and a top-tier backfield.
2.03Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza is the clear top-of-board option available at 2.03, and his landing spot in Las Vegas gives him a legitimate path to a starting role in an offense that needs a franchise signal-caller. The Cowboy Homers carry the biggest pre-draft need at QB — Kyler Murray's uncertain role in Minnesota and Daniel Jones as the current backup make this a structural problem, not a depth question. Mendoza addresses that need directly while also representing the best dynasty value remaining in the pool at search rank 39, making this both a need-based and value-driven selection.
2.04Gunnar Helm
Preston's Mahomeboy's addressed their glaring TE need in Round 1 with Chig Okonkwo and continues that theme here, adding Gunnar Helm as a complementary hold. Helm, a 2024 sixth-round pick for Tennessee, is an athletic inline tight end with legitimate receiving upside in a Titans offense that could feature him more prominently as the roster turns over. At search rank 153 he represents the best remaining dynasty-relevant TE on the board, and given the team's D+ grade at the position, doubling down on TE infrastructure is the correct strategic move over adding more depth to an already A-graded WR corps.
2.05Tank Dell
Tank Dell is the clear best available player at the position of greatest need — WR — with a search rank of 187 representing real upside as a proven NFL contributor in Houston's high-volume passing offense. No Guts No Glory already grabbed Jordyn Tyson in Round 1 to address the WR deficiency, and stacking Dell as a second add gives the roster two young, ascending receivers to develop alongside Christian Watson. Dell's YAC ability and rapport with C.J. Stroud make him a credible depth piece who could push for a FLEX starting role if healthy, which is exactly the profile this roster needs to shore up its C+ WR grade.
2.06Eli Stowers
Smoketown's TE position grades out at D+ with two Tier-3 options unlikely to beat out the elite RB and WR depth for FLEX starts, making a TE addition the clearest path to roster improvement. Eli Stowers is the best available TE prospect in this pool as a rookie with Philadelphia Eagles landing spot — a high-volume offense that has historically supported tight end production. At pick 18 with the TE tier thinning fast, addressing the glaring positional need here is the right call even ahead of lower-ranked skill players at already-stacked positions.
2.07Ja'Kobi Lane
Terrible Towelie's has a clear WR need — the position grades out at C+ and their only Tier-1 wideout is Rashee Rice — so doubling down on the position after taking Zachariah Branch in Round 1 is entirely defensible. Ja'Kobi Lane lands in Baltimore, a pass-heavy offense that consistently develops young receivers, giving him a legitimate pathway to fantasy relevance as Zay Flowers and company age on the roster. At search rank 182, he's the best available WR on the board at this slot, making him the right value-meets-need selection here.
2.08KC Concepcion
With Denzel Boston and Omar Cooper already added in Rounds 1 and 2 to address the WR1 need, KC Concepcion represents the best available prospect remaining on the board — a rookie receiver landing in Cleveland, where he can develop alongside Harold Fannin in a pass-heavy system. At search rank 129 with WR still the roster's structural gap, taking Concepcion here extends the WR depth add across multiple FLEX spots and bets on long-term upside rather than settling for a veteran floor. The team's RB and QB positions are locked, making this the right tier to continue stacking the receiver room with young assets.
2.09Antonio Williams
No Guts No Glory, picking here via a trade from the Bangkok Bounty Hunters, has made WR1 improvement the centerpiece of this draft — already adding Jordyn Tyson in Round 1 and Tank Dell in Round 2 — and Antonio Williams is the most dynasty-relevant WR remaining on the board at this point. The Washington Commanders rookie brings elite athleticism and lands in a scheme that has historically featured young perimeter receivers, giving him a credible path to meaningful targets. With the WR room graded at C+ and two rostered veterans effectively off the roster as unsigned free agents, stacking another developmental WR with upside at pick 2.09 is sound long-term portfolio building.
2.10Jonah Coleman
With QB, RB, and WR all graded A+ or better, this roster has little need to chase positional scarcity at this pick — but Jonah Coleman is the clear top-of-board option at search_rank 118, making him easy value to take regardless. Coleman lands in Denver behind a thin depth chart as a rookie with receiving-back traits that fit well in FLEX-heavy dynasty formats. The team already holds elite RB assets in Robinson, Hampton, and Hall, so Coleman slots in as a high-upside stash with legitimate path-to-role upside as a handcuff and eventual starter.
2.11Germie Bernard
RhinoDILDO acquired this pick from Goldbrickers via trade and uses it to continue addressing its glaring WR need — the roster's only significant weakness despite a top-tier QB and RB room. Germie Bernard lands in Pittsburgh with a clear path to targets as a developmental slot receiver under a new offensive regime, making him the best available WR on the board at this range. Having already taken Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon earlier in this draft, the team is building WR depth with upside, and Bernard fits that mold as a rookie with legitimate NFL opportunity.
2.12Kendre Miller
Using a pick acquired from Super Charged Grits n' Gravy, Gonzo Justice continues their aggressive RB-stacking strategy — five of their first six picks have been running backs, directly addressing the roster's biggest pre-draft need. Kendre Miller is the highest-value RB available at this point in the pool; he's a young back with three-down potential in New Orleans whose dynasty stock has been suppressed by injury and depth-chart competition, but the upside relative to what's left on the board is clear. With Jaylen Warren and Jacory Croskey-Merritt as the current RB core, adding Miller gives the room a legitimate swing piece with more ceiling than the remaining veteran options.
▸ ROUND 3
3.01Demond Claiborne
Gonzo Justice has already addressed RB depth aggressively with six consecutive backs taken through the first two rounds, and at 3.01 the board is thin enough that continuing to pile on at the position yields diminishing dynasty returns. Demond Claiborne is the highest-ranked rookie remaining and lands in Minnesota, where he has a path to a meaningful role as a young RB with receiving ability — a profile that fits the five-FLEX format. Given the roster's C+ grade at RB, adding a developmental Tier-2 rookie here maintains the momentum of this RB-heavy rebuild while banking on upside at a position that can contribute across FLEX spots.
3.02Ted Hurst
RhinoDILDO has addressed WR depth aggressively with three receivers already this draft (Tate, Lemon, Bernard), and the pool at this point is thin, making Ted Hurst the best available WR option — a rookie landing in Tampa Bay with legitimate size and route-running projection worth stashing. The team's WR grade of C+ and lack of an established WR1 justifies continuing to stack the position, and Hurst's NFL landing spot offers a developmental path worth monitoring. At this stage of Round 3, it's best-available over positional need, and Hurst tops the remaining receiver tier in this pool.
3.03Ty Simpson
The Cowboy Homers' biggest pre-draft need is a QB1 upgrade, and after landing Fernando Mendoza in Round 2, adding Ty Simpson — a rookie QB landing with the Rams — gives this roster a second developmental arm to compete with Mendoza for the long-term starter role. At search rank 141, Simpson is the highest-value quarterback remaining on the board and represents a reasonable ceiling bet on a young passer with a legitimate NFL opportunity. With Daniel Jones and Marcus Mariota offering essentially no dynasty upside, stacking QB prospects is the right move to address a position graded C+ before this draft began.
3.04Max Klare
Preston's Mahomeboy's entered this draft with a D+ at TE and have now invested two picks (Okonkwo, Helm) to address it; Max Klare is the most dynasty-relevant option remaining at any position of need, landing with the Rams where he projects as a developmental receiving TE with legitimate NFL opportunity. With the TE room already getting a short- and mid-term infusion, Klare serves as a long-horizon stash — he's the top-ranked player on the board and fills out a three-man TE rebuild at a fraction of the cost. At pick 3.04, there is no better value available given the roster's continued gap at the position.
3.05Kyle Williams
No Guts No Glory has already addressed WR depth with three picks in the first two rounds, but Kyle Williams represents the top available receiver at this board position and aligns directly with the franchise's stated WR1 need. Williams landed in New England with a clear path toward targets after the Patriots' wide receiver room underwent significant turnover, giving him real developmental upside as a young receiver in a featured role. With WR graded C+ and the top of the pool thinning out, taking the highest-ranked wideout on the board to continue building the corps is the correct value play here.
3.06Michael Trigg
Smoketown's TE position grades out at D+ with no viable starter on the roster, and the team already addressed that need with Eli Stowers in Round 2 — stacking Michael Trigg here doubles down on the position with the highest-ranked available player at search_rank 212. Trigg is a 2025 rookie TE landing in Dallas with legitimate receiving upside, giving Smoketown two young developmental options to compete for the FLEX against an already elite RB and WR room. With RB and WR depth graded A+ and A- respectively, there is no urgency to add at those positions, making Trigg the clear best-available choice aligned with the team's most pressing need.
3.07Elijah Sarratt
Terrible Towelie's entered this draft with WR as their clear roster weakness, and they've already addressed it in rounds one and two with Zachariah Branch and Ja'Kobi Lane. Elijah Sarratt is the top-ranked rookie WR remaining on the board at search_rank 201, landing with the Ravens — a franchise with an improving passing game under Lamar Jackson — giving him a legitimate path to volume. Continuing to stack the WR room in round three is the right call given the thin Tier-1/2 depth behind Rashee Rice, and Sarratt represents the best available player at the position of need.
3.08Mike Washington
Using a pick acquired from Insanely Long & Ridiculous Team Name, Goldbrickers! turns it into direct address for their most pressing roster gap: RB depth behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Mike Washington (search_rank 139, the top RB on the board) is a Las Vegas Raiders rookie with developmental upside in a dynasty context, offering a speculative but age-appropriate add to pair with an aging Tony Pollard and the unproven Keaton Mitchell. With a WR corps already graded A+ and surplus TE depth, converting this traded pick into a young running back is exactly the positional play this roster needs.
3.09Chris Brazzell
RhinoDILDO, using a pick acquired from the Bangkok Bounty Hunters, continues its aggressive WR-stacking strategy after four consecutive receiver selections — and Chris Brazzell (search rank 202) is the clear best available at the top of this depleted pool. The Panthers rookie brings elite size and a legitimate path to targets in Carolina's rebuilding offense, fitting the long-term dynasty profile this team is building around its young WR room. With a WR1 still absent on this roster, adding upside lottery tickets at receiver in the mid-rounds is the correct approach, even if Brazzell is a projection rather than a sure thing.
3.10Colby Parkinson
With QB, RB, and WR all graded A+ or higher, the most actionable move at this stage of the draft is adding depth at TE, where Kyle Pitts is the lone option on a roster with no safety net. Colby Parkinson is the clear top-of-board value here at search_rank 136, coming off a role with the Rams where he showed up as a legitimate pass-catcher and would provide genuine insurance behind Pitts in a FLEX-heavy format that still requires TE production. The remaining pool offers little else of meaningful dynasty value, making Parkinson the defensible best player available by a comfortable margin.
3.11Kimani Vidal
With RB depth as the Goldbrickers' most pressing roster need and Kimani Vidal sitting atop the available board at search_rank 141, the value here is clear. Vidal is an ascending young back in the Chargers' offense who has shown enough to warrant a depth role in dynasty, and after taking Mike Washington in Round 3, the team is doubling down on addressing the gap behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Adding Vidal gives the roster a second legitimate RB asset with upside, shoring up the one positional grade below a B in a lineup that can deploy five FLEX spots.
3.12Chris Bell
With elite depth at RB, WR, and QB already locked in, and TE addressed in Round 1 with Kenyon Sadiq, Super Charged Grits n' Gravy can take best available here — and Chris Bell is the top-ranked rookie skill player remaining in the pool. Landing with the Dolphins gives Bell a legitimate path to targets in a pass-heavy offense, and as a dynasty asset with rookie upside, he provides long-term FLEX value on a roster that can afford to stash developmental talent. At pick 3.12, there is nothing close to a first-tier dynasty asset available, making Bell the clear choice on pure search-rank value.
▸ ROUND 4
4.01Brashard Smith
Gonzo Justice has addressed RB depth aggressively through the first three rounds, and with the top-of-board options heavily depleted, Brashard Smith is the most dynasty-relevant skill-position player remaining at search_rank 182. Smith flashed elite athleticism and legitimate receiving upside as a rookie with the Chiefs, positioning him as a potential breakout candidate in a high-powered offense that values pass-catching backs. After seven consecutive RB selections, Gonzo Justice is stacking its backfield with volume and upside, and Smith fits that build as the best available asset at the position remaining in this pool.
4.02Malachi Fields
RhinoDILDO has aggressively addressed its WR1 need throughout this draft, and Malachi Fields (search rank 210) is the highest-ranked player remaining on the board by a wide margin, making him the clear best-available selection. As a rookie WR landing with the Giants, Fields has an opportunity to carve out a role in a developing offense, and at this stage of the draft, upside on a young player beats the veteran alternatives in this pool. RhinoDILDO has now stacked five or more rookie WRs, betting heavily on developmental upside to solve their WR corps — Fields is the most credentialed name left to add to that collection.
4.03Justin Fields
The Cowboy Homers entered this draft with a glaring QB1 need graded at C+, and after selecting Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson in rounds 2 and 3, adding Justin Fields rounds out the QB stash with the highest remaining upside in the pool. Fields lands in Kansas City, where any opportunity — backup to Mahomes or otherwise — keeps him in a high-powered system with a chance to resurrect his career value. At this stage of round 4, the QB pool thins dramatically, and Fields at search rank 326 is the last credible upside dart available before the board devolves into depth fillers.
4.04De'Zhaun Stribling
With the TE need addressed aggressively across rounds 1-3 (Okonkwo, Helm, Klare), Preston's Mahomeboy's turns to the best available player remaining, and De'Zhaun Stribling is the clear top name on the board at pick 40. The rookie WR out of San Francisco carries legitimate dynasty upside as a landing in a Kyle Shanahan system known for developing receivers, and the roster's WR depth — while strong — can always absorb a high-ceiling developmental add. At this stage of a five-round draft, taking the highest search-ranked player available is the correct call when no glaring positional void remains unfilled.
4.05Garrett Nussmeier
With four receivers already added this draft, No Guts No Glory has addressed its WR need aggressively — the best remaining value on the board is Garrett Nussmeier, a rookie QB landing in Kansas City with genuine developmental upside. No Guts No Glory already holds a surplus at QB (Herbert, Purdy), making Nussmeier a speculative stash rather than a starter, but dynasty leagues reward accumulating young signal-callers who land in winning organizations, and Nussmeier's search rank of 329 makes him the clear top asset remaining. At pick 41 in Round 4, there is nothing left in this pool with meaningful dynasty upside, and Nussmeier at least carries a live trade or breakout ceiling that the veteran free agents here cannot offer.
4.06Audric Estime
With a TE need already addressed via Eli Stowers and Michael Trigg in Rounds 2 and 3, Smoketown can now pivot to best available value, and Audric Estime at search rank 190 is the clearest choice remaining on the board. Estime is a young RB with legitimate NFL opportunity in New Orleans and adds depth insurance behind an elite but aging backfield anchored by Jeanty and Henry. Even in a deep running back room, dynasty-age upside on a 24-year-old with a potential lead role makes this a sensible floor-building pick in Round 4.
4.07Jalen Milroe
After three consecutive WR selections to address their weakest positional grade, Terrible Towelie's shifts to speculative upside with Jalen Milroe, the rookie QB landing in Seattle with a real path to snaps given the uncertainty behind their current starter. At pick 4.07 with the top-of-board depleted, Milroe's dual-threat profile and legitimate NFL opportunity give him more dynasty upside than any other option remaining in this pool. With Joe Burrow locked in as a Tier-1 starter, this is a zero-cost dart throw on a high-ceiling developmental asset.
4.08Odell Beckham
With three WR additions already in this draft (Boston, Cooper, Concepcion), this team has aggressively addressed its biggest need, and the pool at pick 4.08 is essentially a wasteland of retired or league-minimum veterans. Odell Beckham carries the highest name-recognition and residual dynasty upside of any WR remaining on the board, and in a 15-bench-spot dynasty format, a speculative stash on a former elite talent costs nothing. Given the depth of this roster at QB, RB, and TE, a low-probability flier on Beckham is the most defensible selection available at this stage of the draft.
4.09Cade Klubnik
With RB depth addressed in Round 1 via Kaytron Allen, the Bounty Hunters pivot to the best available player on a board that has thinned considerably by pick 45. Cade Klubnik is the lone rookie quarterback available and lands with the New York Jets, giving him a legitimate path to a starting role in an organization with real developmental upside. Bangkok Bounty Hunters already grade out at A at QB with Hurts and Love, so this is a pure roster depth and speculative value add — Klubnik's youth and NFL landing spot make him the most dynasty-relevant asset remaining in this pool.
4.10Nick Folk
With a kicker grade of C and Michael Badgley currently without an NFL team, addressing the kicker slot is the most actionable need left after filling RB depth (Coleman) and TE depth (Parkinson) in earlier rounds. Nick Folk is a proven, accurate veteran who has kicked in high-leverage situations throughout his career and offers more reliability than the current streamer setup. At the bottom of Round 4, this is a zero-opportunity-cost move to shore up the weakest scoring position on an otherwise elite roster.
4.11Kerrith Whyte
After addressing RB depth with Mike Washington and Kimani Vidal in rounds 3, the Goldbrickers continue mining that same need with Kerrith Whyte, the best remaining RB option on a board that has thinned considerably by pick 47. The pool at this stage is largely depleted of dynasty-relevant assets, and Whyte at least provides a stashable handcuff-type piece who can compete for a role in a Green Bay backfield. With only Jahmyr Gibbs as a reliable RB1 and the FLEX spots demanding multiple startable backs, adding cheap depth in the late rounds is a sound roster-building strategy even at reduced upside.
4.12Tyler Higbee
Super Charged Grits n' Gravy already addressed the TE need in Round 1 with Kenyon Sadiq, but Tyler Higbee represents the best available player at the position with residual starting value — he's a proven NFL starter who can serve as a bridge option behind T.J. Hockenson while Sadiq develops. At this stage of a Round 4 tail, the pool has thinned significantly and Higbee's familiarity as a FLEX-eligible TE in a FLEX-heavy format gives him marginal utility over the veteran QBs and fringe skill players remaining. The five-time champion takes another low-cost depth stash to protect their one legitimate roster weakness.
▸ ROUND 5
5.01Carson Beck
Gonzo Justice has now stacked nine consecutive running backs across four rounds, so the RB room is addressed — the remaining pool offers no dynasty-relevant skill players, making Carson Beck the lone pick with any forward-looking upside. Beck landed with Arizona after an impressive college career at Georgia, and with Quinn Ewers also on the Dolphins roster, Beck provides a Tier-3 developmental QB option that slots as roster depth behind Cam Ward. With QB graded at C+ and no Tier-1 signal-caller on the roster, taking a shot on a young arm with starting potential in Round 5 is the most defensible allocation of this late pick.
5.02Jake Elliott
RhinoDILDO has addressed its WR need aggressively across six straight picks and now turns to roster maintenance in the late rounds, where positional grades at K (C) signal a gap worth patching. Jake Elliott is the most credibly rostered kicker in this pool, having been a consistent, accurate performer for the Eagles over multiple seasons. In a late round with no meaningful dynasty value available at any skill position, a serviceable kicker with real NFL standing is the highest-floor option on the board.
5.03Quinn Ewers
The World Champion Cowboy Homers have spent rounds 2-4 addressing their glaring QB need, and Quinn Ewers represents the highest-upside dart throw still available at this pool's top of board — landing in Miami gives him a legitimate NFL opportunity to develop. After taking Mendoza, Simpson, and Fields, the Homers are clearly building a QB room from scratch, and Ewers' college pedigree and age profile make him the most reasonable dynasty stash left in the pool. With WR and RB already graded out as strengths, this final round is correctly allocated toward the one position that could determine whether this roster competes again.
5.04Eric Ebron
Preston's Mahomeboy's have already addressed their TE need aggressively with three tight ends in rounds one through three (Okonkwo, Helm, Klare), but with a D+ grade at TE entering the draft, adding a veteran depth piece like Eric Ebron still makes sense over the remaining pool of largely unplayable veterans. Ebron has NFL starting pedigree and is the only TE in the pool with legitimate dynasty-era production, providing insurance depth behind the younger investments. At this stage of round five with the board depleted, he represents the highest-floor option available regardless of positional fit.
5.05JuJu Smith-Schuster
No Guts No Glory has addressed WR need aggressively through the first four rounds, and at pick 5.05 the pool has thinned to veterans with limited dynasty upside. JuJu Smith-Schuster is the best remaining WR name with any recognizable NFL pedigree, and at search rank 999 the bar is low — he slots in as a depth/stash option that costs nothing and does not block a more valuable add later. The WR room still needs a proven WR1 anchor, but with four WRs already added this draft, adding JuJu as a low-cost flier on a veteran bounce-back is the highest-ceiling play available at this position in this pool.
5.06Mike Gesicki
Smoketown entered this draft with a glaring TE void — both Theo Johnson and Cade Otton are Tier-3 options — and has already addressed it with Eli Stowers and Michael Trigg in Rounds 2-3. Mike Gesicki adds a third TE option with legitimate veteran pedigree; he is a proven pass-catcher who has topped 700 receiving yards in a season and brings real FLEX upside in Cincinnati's pass-heavy offense. At this stage of the board, he is the highest-ranked player with remaining positional relevance to Smoketown's roster construction.
5.07KJ Hill
With four prior picks already addressing WR depth (Branch, Lane, Sarratt) and QB (Milroe), Terrible Towelie's has done the heavy lifting this draft cycle; at pick 5.07 the available pool is extremely thin with no meaningful dynasty assets remaining. KJ Hill is the highest search-ranked WR on the board and represents the best available option relative to the rest of a pool populated almost entirely by retired or fringe veterans. He adds a developmental stash body to a WR room that graded C+ entering the draft, even if his upside is limited at this stage of the draft.
5.08Myles White
With four WRs already selected this draft — Denzel Boston, Omar Cooper, KC Concepcion, and Odell Beckham — this team has aggressively addressed its WR1 need across every round, and the cupboard is nearly bare at this point in Round 5. Myles White is the only WR remaining in the top 40 pool with any recognizable dynasty relevance, making him the clear positional best available at this stage. At search rank 699, he's a depth stash at best, but consistent with the roster-building theme of this draft and fills a bench slot in a format with 15 roster spots.
5.09Travis Homer
At pick 57 in Round 5, the available pool has thinned to fringe veterans with minimal dynasty upside, and no high-value options remain. Bangkok Bounty Hunters entered this draft with RB depth as their primary need, and Travis Homer represents a low-cost handcuff/depth option to add behind their Tier-1 starters Chase Brown and Bucky Irving. With the roster's backfield depth falling off sharply after the top two backs, adding even a veteran depth piece at this stage of the draft is the most roster-relevant move available.
5.10Riley Leonard
With elite grades at QB, RB, and WR and a kicker already addressed in Round 4, the available pool at Pick 5.10 is thin on dynasty-relevant assets; Riley Leonard represents the best speculative upside remaining, landing as the presumptive starter in Indianapolis with a chance to develop into a long-term QB2 or trade chip. The Colts' rebuild timeline aligns reasonably with a dynasty stash, and Leonard's rushing floor adds a scoring pathway that pure pocket passers in this pool lack. This roster has no pressing need here, making it a low-cost depth swing on a young quarterback with a legitimate path to a starting job.
5.11Le'Veon Bell
At pick 59 in Round 5, the available pool is thin and largely composed of fringe veterans with minimal dynasty value, making Le'Veon Bell the highest-ranked RB available by search rank. The Goldbrickers have already addressed RB depth in rounds 3 and 4 with Washington, Vidal, and Whyte, but Bell's name recognition and search rank edge out the alternatives as the best remaining RB option. With QB and WR graded A or A+ and the team's clear need being RB depth, continuing to stack the backfield — even with a speculative vet — is the correct approach this late in the draft.
5.12Austin Hooper
With Kenyon Sadiq and Tyler Higbee already added this draft to address the TE need, Super Charged Grits n' Gravy continues to build depth at the position's weakest link on an otherwise A-grade roster. Austin Hooper is a veteran with legitimate NFL production who can compete for a FLEX spot in a pinch while the younger options develop. At pick 60 in Round 5, the pool is thin and Hooper represents the best remaining upside among available tight ends given his experience and prior target volume.
