Adam Schefter's top 5 must-draft fantasy football picks in 2025 after ESPN's latest marathon mock ft. Malik Nabers

NFL insider Adam Schefter was part of a 10-team mock draft conducted by ESPN on Wednesday. He had the last pick of the first round, but the snake format allowed him to pick back-to-back, and he ended up with a few interesting duos for his fantasy football team.

Check out some of the must-draft picks made by Schefter during the mock draft.

Top 5 must-draft picks by Adam Schefter in ESPN mock draft

#1 - Malik Nabers, WR, New York Giants

Nabers was Schefter's first-round pick taken at No. 10, one pick after his ADP. Nabers was the fifth receiver taken in the draft; he's expected to be a difference-maker in 2025 after crossing the 1,000-yard mark in his rookie season. Fantasy Pros projects him with 1,349 yards in 2025.

#2 - Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders

Bowers was the very next pick (No. 11) and the first tight end off the board. Bowers emerged as one of the league's elite tight ends in his first year. He holds an ADP of 16, so Schefter took a bit of a gamble. Still, having the TE1 is not a bad thing.

#3 - Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Schefter had to wait a long time to grab his first running back. He went for a rookie, picking Hampton at No. 30 with the last selection of the third round. Hampton, who has an ADP of 35, is expected to have high volume with the Chargers, justifying his selection.

#4 - James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills

With the No. 31 pick, Schefter selected the Bills' James Cook, making sure he's not stuck with just one good starter at the most important position for fantasy football. Cook's ADP, curiously, is better than Omarion Hampton's at 33.

#5 - DJ Moore, WR, Chicago Bears

The final must-have pick is DJ Moore, who was selected at No. 49, just three beyond his ADP (46). Moore was the 21st wide receiver taken. He's expected to have a bounce-back year with Ben Johnson at the helm.
