Trevor Sikkema warned listeners to avoid spending even a late-round dynasty pick on Upton Stout. The 49ers reached almost 100 slots relative to Sikkema’s rankings to grab a corner who sits in the 10th-percentile for height, weight, and wingspan. Sikkema emphasized that since 2010 only two corners under 5-10 and 180 lbs drafted before Day 3 have logged more than 600 career snaps. With Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir entrenched, Stout projects as a special-teams body rather than an IDP contributor. Sikkema’s bottom line: let your league-mates chase the draft capital—history says the physical profile simply does not hit.

Trevor Sikkema believes the Panthers snagged their long-term change-of-pace back in Trevor Etienne. With defense addressed in free agency and WR1 Tetral McMillan secured at No. 8, Carolina could afford to chase offensive upside later. Sikkema projected Etienne to open 2025 as the RB2, siphoning passing-down and outside-zone snaps while offering breakaway potential Miles Sanders/Chuba Hubbard lack. He framed Etienne as an ideal dynasty stash who could push for lead-back duties once veteran contracts expire and a high-variance late-round best-ball pick thanks to his big-play profile.

Trevor Sikkema said Tetairoa McMillan stepping in at pick 8 instantly solves Carolina’s gaping need for a true No. 1 receiver, not a depth piece. Because the Panthers spent free-agency cash shoring up the defense, the front office could swing big on offense without redundancy. Sikkema argued McMillan’s alpha size/speed profile and contested-catch ability will immediately funnel targets his way, changing the entire complexion of Bryce Young’s passing attack. With only volume-soaking veterans ahead of him, Sikkema projects McMillan to command WR1 usage from day one, making him a top-three rookie pick in dynasty and a late-round redraft gamble who could out-produce ADP.

Trevor Sikkema called Travis Hunter the lone truly generational talent in this draft class and urged dynasty players to lock him up wherever possible. Hunter has been Sikkema’s No. 1 overall prospect wire-to-wire thanks to his elite two-way profile—he posted a 30% dominator rating as a receiver while logging shutdown-corner reps and a 90.2 PFF coverage grade. Sikkema believes the Browns made a long-term mistake trading out of the top slot instead of securing Hunter’s franchise-changing versatility. He projects Hunter to command immediate offensive snaps wherever he lands, with the added bonus of IDP value if a coaching staff lets him play both ways. In rookie drafts, Sikkema would take Hunter first overall even over quarterbacks, citing the ceiling of a true league-winner.

Trevor Sikkema highlighted TreVeyon Henderson as one of the Patriots’ splashiest offensive additions, noting that pairing the Ohio State burner with rookie linemen Will Campbell and Jared Wilson injects much-needed juice into an attack that ranked dead-last in explosive plays. With Mike Vrabel likely to lean on the ground game and rookie QB Drake Maye under center, Sikkema expects Henderson to carve out 10–12 touches per week right away as a change-of-pace back behind Rhamondre Stevenson. He called Henderson a draft-and-stash in redraft and a priority second-round dynasty rookie pick given his home-run speed and the Patriots’ newfound commitment to offensive speed.
