Jacob Gibbs called Gunner Helm the most overlooked tight end in a deep class and a plug‑and‑play red‑zone threat for any team willing to spend a late pick. Helm ran a 4.86 forty on a badly rolled ankle—he finished every combine drill despite posting an Instagram photo of a softball‑sized bruise—so Gibbs refuses to ding the athletic profile until he tests healthy. On film, Helm led Texas in receptions and finished second in receiving yards behind only future first‑rounder Matthew Golden while competing with Xavier Worthy, A.D. Mitchell and Jonathan Brooks. His 1.16 yards per route run looks mediocre until you add the context of those NFL‑caliber teammates and Quinn Ewers’ scatter‑shot accuracy. Gibbs praised Helm’s "alpha" mentality, noting he consistently bailed Ewers out on broken plays, high‑pointed contested balls, and forced Alabama transfer Amari Niblack to the bench. Gibbs believes Helm is already ahead of Noah Gray as an NFL‑ready inline option and would celebrate if Kansas City—or any TE‑needy offense—spent a fourth‑round pick on him. Dynasty managers should treat him as a free square stash with immediate touchdown equity.
Jacob Gibbs said Raheim Rocket Sanders is the forgotten gem of the 2025 class. After a 1,500‑yard sophomore breakout at Arkansas, Sanders transferred to South Carolina and single‑handedly pulled its rushing success rate from a dreadful 33 % to league‑average despite playing through an ankle injury. His 2024 yards‑after‑contact mark (3.69) was a career best, and tracking data clocked him with the fastest top speed of any back at the combine—quicker than Bucky Irving or TreVeyon Henderson once he hits stride. In short‑yardage he converted at a 71 % clip, second only to Damien Martinez nationally. Sanders also caught 30 balls last year, so he is not a zero in the passing game. Gibbs envisions him going in round 5 to a team that needs a hammer/closer—he mentioned the Giants or Steelers—where he would open as a complementary back but could take over if the starter misses time. Dynasty managers and best‑ball drafters should treat him as a late‑round upside stash whose blend of burst and size can translate immediately at the NFL level.
