It is time for Busts 4.0, which is my last record of bust candidates for 2025. And I’ve a couple of qualifiers for this spherical of busts, which is primarily based on their common draft place on CBS Sports activities.
For starters, I hate the worth for a lot of the quarterbacks, particularly Josh Allen (ADP of 16.5) and Lamar Jackson (18.2). These are my high two quarterbacks, however I’d not draft them in Spherical 2. And if you are going to attain for a quarterback, I might suggest Jackson over Allen since Jackson (30.1 Fantasy factors per recreation) was considerably higher than Allen (25.6) final 12 months.
I might slightly await these quarterbacks till Spherical 3 in a one-quarterback league. In any other case, I will draft a quarterback a lot later with guys like Dak Prescott (ADP of 82.4), Kyler Murray (84.1), Justin Fields (116.5) or Drake Maye (129.1), amongst others.
Are these guys pretty much as good as Jackson or Allen? No. However that is about worth, and I desire a broad receiver, operating again or perhaps a tight finish (Brock Bowers or Trey McBride) the place these quarterbacks are being drafted.
I am additionally going to disregard the present ADP for some gamers in questionable conditions like Joe Mixon (ADP of 79.7) and Quinshon Judkins (112.4). Mixon would clearly be a bust if drafted on this vary, however he is at finest a late-round flier following the information that he is out for the primary 4 video games of the season with a foot harm — if not longer. And we do not know when Judkins will signal his rookie contract, so you can also’t draft him till properly into the double digit rounds.
I’ve touched on a number of of those gamers already within the first three variations of busts, however we have added a couple of guys to the group and up to date some outlooks. Once more, that is primarily based on the CBS ADP, but when these gamers fall on Draft Day then I will gladly draft them at a decreased worth.
