Tier 1 — 2 RB (ranks 1–2)

2 players · ranks 1–2 · 2 RB · Draft Value +148.7 to +132.7

Jahmyr Gibbs (#1 overall, RB1) and Bijan Robinson (#2 overall, RB2) sit in a tier of their own, separated from Tier 2 by a 32.3-point gap — the largest cliff on this page. That drop is the cost of leaving this tier empty, and it is steep enough that securing one of these two backs should be the first priority of any draft.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
1 Jahmyr Gibbs RB1 DET 300.1 +148.7
2 Bijan Robinson RB2 ATL 284.1 +132.7
↓ 32.3 Draft Value points to Tier 2

Tier 2 — 3 RB, 3 WR (ranks 3–8)

6 players · ranks 3–8 · 3 RB · 3 WR · Draft Value +100.4 to +77.3

Three running backs and three wide receivers share this tier, making it the first and only window to acquire receivers ranked WR1 through WR3. The tier's 23.1-point internal spread means meaningful differences exist within it, but the 8.3-point gap to Tier 3 is modest — a drafter who misses here does not fall off a cliff, but does surrender the top receiver tier entirely.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
3 Jonathan Taylor RB3 IND 251.8 +100.4
4 Puka Nacua WR1 LAR 251.7 +96.9
5 Ja'Marr Chase WR2 CIN 249.9 +95.2
6 James Cook RB4 BUF 241.9 +90.5
7 De'Von Achane RB5 MIA 233.8 +82.4
8 Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR3 SEA 232.0 +77.3
↓ 8.3 Draft Value points to Tier 3

Tier 3 — 4 RB, 1 WR (ranks 9–13)

5 players · ranks 9–13 · 4 RB · 1 WR · Draft Value +69.0 to +56.6

Four of the five players here are running backs, with Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR4) as the lone receiver. The 6.4-point gap to Tier 4 is narrow, so there is little urgency to force a pick from this group — but WR4 is the last receiver available before the position goes quiet for two full tiers.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
9 Christian McCaffrey RB6 SF 220.4 +69.0
10 Amon-Ra St. Brown WR4 DET 221.7 +67.0
11 Kyren Williams RB7 LAR 213.9 +62.5
12 Derrick Henry RB8 BAL 208.5 +57.1
13 Jeremiyah Love RB9 ARI 208.0 +56.6
↓ 6.4 Draft Value points to Tier 4

Tier 4 — 3 RB (ranks 14–16)

3 players · ranks 14–16 · 3 RB · Draft Value +50.2 to +48.7

Tier 4 has the tightest spread on this page — just 1.5 points separating Josh Jacobs (RB10), Ashton Jeanty (RB11), and Chase Brown (RB12) — meaning the three are effectively interchangeable in value. All three are running backs, and the 6.9-point gap below them is slightly wider than the gap above, so this cluster is a clean, low-regret target whenever it becomes available.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
14 Josh Jacobs RB10 GB 201.6 +50.2
15 Ashton Jeanty RB11 LV 200.9 +49.5
16 Chase Brown RB12 CIN 200.1 +48.7
↓ 6.9 Draft Value points to Tier 5

Tier 5 — 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 QB, 1 TE (ranks 17–23)

7 players · ranks 17–23 · 3 WR · 2 RB · 1 QB · 1 TE · Draft Value +41.8 to +33.8

This is the first tier where quarterback and tight end enter the rankings, with Josh Allen (QB1) at #18 overall and Trey McBride (TE1) at #23 overall. The positional mix of seven players across four positions gives drafters genuine flexibility, but the 5.4-point gap to Tier 6 is small — waiting one more pick rarely costs much here.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
17 Drake London WR5 ATL 196.5 +41.8
18 Josh Allen QB1 BUF 310.4 +40.8
19 CeeDee Lamb WR6 DAL 195.0 +40.2
20 Justin Jefferson WR7 MIN 194.9 +40.1
21 Saquon Barkley RB13 PHI 190.9 +39.5
22 Kenneth Walker RB14 KC 187.1 +35.7
23 Trey McBride TE1 ARI 163.9 +33.8
↓ 5.4 Draft Value points to Tier 6

Tier 6 — 7 RB, 5 WR, 1 TE (ranks 24–36)

13 players · ranks 24–36 · 7 RB · 5 WR · 1 TE · Draft Value +28.4 to +14.1

Thirteen players spanning running backs, receivers, and the first non-QB1 tight end (Brock Bowers, TE2) make this the deepest value tier on the page. The 14.3-point internal spread is wide, so the top of the tier — George Pickens at WR8 — carries meaningfully more surplus than the bottom, and the 4.8-point gap to Tier 7 is the smallest cliff seen so far.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value
24 George Pickens WR8 DAL 183.1 +28.4
25 Breece Hall RB15 NYJ 178.9 +27.5

31 Nico Collins WR11 HOU 174.0 +19.3
32 D'Andre Swift RB18 CHI 168.4 +16.9
33 Jadarian Price RB19 SEA 166.7 +15.3
34 Javonte Williams RB20 DAL 166.2 +14.8
35 Cam Skattebo RB21 NYG 165.6 +14.2
36 Zay Flowers WR12 BAL 168.8 +14.1
↓ 4.8 Draft Value points to Tier 7

Tier 7 — 5 WR, 2 QB, 2 RB, 1 TE (ranks 37–46)

10 players · ranks 37–46 · 5 WR · 2 QB · 2 RB · 1 TE · Draft Value +9.3 to +0.9

Every player in this tier carries a positive Draft Value, meaning all ten still project above replacement level — but just barely, with the range running from +9.3 down to +0.9. The 0.9-point gap to Tier 8 is razor-thin, so there is almost no cost to sliding a pick from the bottom of this tier into the top of Tier 8.

#PlayerPosTeam ProjDraft Value

38 Quinshon Judkins RB22 CLE 158.2 +6.8

45 Emeka Egbuka WR17 TB 156.2 +1.5
46 Colston Loveland TE3 CHI 131.0 +0.9
↓ 0.9 Draft Value points to Tier 8

Tier 8 — 48 WR, 29 DST, 23 TE, 20 QB, 17 K, 17 RB (ranks 47–200)

154 players · ranks 47–200 · 48 WR · 29 DST · 23 TE · 20 QB · 17 K · 17 RB · Draft Value +0.0 to -61.5

All 154 players here project at or below replacement level, with Draft Values from +0.0 down to -61.5. Kickers and defenses appear exclusively in this tier, confirming they offer no surplus value in this format and should be drafted only after all positive-value positions are exhausted. The wide 61.5-point internal spread means the top of this tier still has roster utility; the bottom is pure filler.
