Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Two Rounds (2024 Fantasy Football)

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Two Rounds (2024 Fantasy Football)

The 2024 NFL Draft is still months away. However, the deadline to declare is Monday, meaning we will know who is in the draft come the middle of the week. Most players have decided whether to declare for the NFL Draft or return to school, but a few big-name players still haven’t officially announced one way or another.

Much will change over the next few months. Let’s dive into a preview of a 10-team, 1QB dynasty rookie mock draft as things currently stand.

2024 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 10-team, 1QB

Pick 1.01 – Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – Ohio State)

Harrison has been the top wide receiver in college football for the past two years. Despite losing C.J. Stroud to the NFL, the former Ohio State superstar had his second consecutive season with over 1,200 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. He will be the first non-quarterback picked during the NFL Draft and is the clear-cut 1.01 dynasty rookie pick in 1QB leagues.

Pick 1.02 – Malik Nabers (WR – LSU)

If not for the fact that Marvin Harrison Jr. is such an elite prospect, Nabers would be the 1.01 pick in most other years. The LSU receiver led the country in receiving yards (1,569) on 89 receptions. He also had 14 receiving touchdowns in 2023. Nabers is made for today’s NFL, with speed and an ability to make plays at all three levels.

Pick 1.03 – Rome Odunze (WR – Washington)

While he hasn’t gotten the same national attention as the first two wide receivers picked in this mock draft, Odunze is one of my favorites in the draft class. He was the go-to wide receiver for Washington last season. Odunze has the size, speed, and hands to become a No. 1 NFL wide receiver.

Pick 1.04 – Brock Bowers (TE – Georgia)

Many are still scarred from Kyle Pitts a few years ago. However, don’t let Arthur Smith’s historical screw-up keep you from using a top-five rookie pick on Bowers. The Georgia star has been the top tight end in college football the past few years, totaling at least 56 receptions every season of his college career. Bowers should be a top-10 NFL Draft pick and enter the league as one of the more talented tight ends.

Pick 1.05 – Keon Coleman (WR – Florida State)

After spending two years at Michigan State, Coleman transferred to Florida State and became a star. He had 11 receiving touchdowns in 2023 despite playing with multiple quarterbacks. By comparison, Coleman had eight receiving scores in his two seasons at Michigan State. While he currently projects as a mid-to-late first-round NFL Draft pick, Coleman could shoot up draft boards after the NFL Combine.

Pick 1.06 – Caleb Williams (QB – USC)

Williams hasn’t declared for the NFL Draft at the time of writing. However, it would be an all-time surprise for him to return to school. The USC star is all but a lock to be the top pick in the NFL Draft and the 1.01 selection in superflex rookie drafts. While it might seem early to draft him sixth overall in a 1QB league draft, Williams is an elite prospect who many believe could turn into the next Patrick Mahomes.

Pick 1.07 – Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – LSU)

While Malik Nabers is an outstanding prospect, don’t be surprised if Thomas is also a first-round NFL Draft pick in April. The third-year receiver had 68 receptions for 1,177 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns despite Nabers having a massive season himself. Thomas has excellent speed and can win in the 50-50 ball situations.

Pick 1.08 – Troy Franklin (WR – Oregon)

Oregon’s offense was explosive, with Bo Nix under center. Franklin had a career year in 2023, totaling 81 receptions for 1,383 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. He can challenge defenses downfield and is a solid route runner. After setting multiple records in college, Franklin will likely be a first-round NFL Draft pick.

Pick 1.09 – Xavier Worthy (WR – Texas)

The former Longhorn is one of the thinnest wide receivers in recent NFL Draft history. However, Worthy is the most explosive wide receiver in the draft class, making him a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Yet, the star receiver is a talented route runner, capable of making plays at all three levels.

Pick 1.10 – Jayden Daniels (QB – LSU)

Could Daniels be the second quarterback picked in the NFL Draft? Possibly, but Drake Maye seems like a lock. However, there is an argument to pick Daniels ahead of Maye during dynasty rookie drafts because of his rushing abilities. Last year, many picked Anthony Richardson over Bryce Young because of his legs despite being the later NFL Draft pick. That might happen again this year with Daniels and Maye.
