2024 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team, Superflex, PPR

Pick 1.01 – Caleb Williams (QB – USC)

Despite some in the media saying the Chicago Bears should draft Jayden Daniels with the first overall pick, Williams is a near clock to be the top selection. The former USC star turned some heads at the NFL Combine with his decision against having a medical evaluation, saving that for only the few teams he believes can draft him. Many have compared him to Patrick Mahomes. Even if he is only 75% as good as the superstar quarterback, Williams is a slam-dunk 1.01 pick in superflex rookie drafts.

Pick 1.04 – Drake Maye (QB – UNC)

Some believe Maye’s NFL Draft stock is starting to slip. We’ve even seen some experts in the industry say he could get drafted behind J.J. McCarthy. However, that seems unlikely. Maye wasn’t the rushing threat that Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams were in college. Yet, he can make plays with his legs, totaling over 1,145 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in his final two years. While his passing numbers took a hit in 2023, Maye lost several key players to the NFL.

Pick 1.07 – J.J. McCarthy (QB – Michigan)

McCarthy has been the biggest riser on NFL Draft boards over the past several weeks. After initially being a potential late first-round NFL Draft pick, the former Michigan star is a near top-10 lock. Furthermore, some experts believe he could get picked ahead of Drake Maye in April. While a few in the fantasy football community are skeptical about McCarthy, his NFL Draft capital will lock him into a mid-first-round pick in dynasty rookie drafts. The only question remaining with him is whether or not he will start Week 1.
