Redrafting and Then Ranking Every Rookie Class from 2015 to 2024

Who are the best dynasty assets ever? Shawn Siegele re-drafts and then ranks every rookie draft class from 2015 to 2024.

The other day I began an article where I redrafted the 2024 rookie class with our current information. That simple exercise led to all sorts of compelling and provocative questions.

How far does Caleb Williams fall now that it’s taken him just half a season to get an OC fired?
How high does Bo Nix rise now that he’s beaten expectations and demonstrated the all-important hybrid ability?
Do elite prospects like Rome Odunze and Xavier Worthy slide below lesser WRs who have found immediate success?
What do we make of Jonathon Brooks’ delayed arrival? Can we still put him ahead of upstarts like Bucky Irving and Tyrone Tracy if he’s suddenly laboring in a long-term committee?

But then a different idea popped into my head. Why simply re-draft 2024 when we could do it for every draft class of the last decade and then pit the classes against each other?

Shawn Siegele October 2, 2025
