We have our rookie landing spots — for better or worse.
Before the NFL Draft, we have high hopes that our favorite prospects will end up in ideal ecosystems that will give them the best possible chance for immediate success. All too often those hopes are dashed, and the player-team fits aren’t as tidy as we’d hoped.
And so it was with the rookie running backs this year. It wasn’t viewed as a great RB class to begin with, and some of the top running backs in the class went to teams that might not have a lot of available RB snaps in 2024.
We got suboptimal landing spots for a few of the top pass catchers, too. Sigh.
Let’s sift through the aftermath of the draft with a three-round superflex dynasty rookie mock draft. Here is the full dynasty rookie mock draft. Below we dive into a few notable picks. And get ready for your dynasty rookie draft with our FREE mock draft simulator.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft
1.07 — QB Drake Maye, Patriots
Maye drew the second-shortest straw among the first-round quarterbacks as far as landing spots, with New England’s offensive cupboards more bare than Old Mother Hubbard’s. But consider yourself lucky if you can get this talented dual-threat quarterback in the back half of Round 1.
1.08 — TE Brock Bowers, Raiders
I’m less distraught by this landing spot than others seem to be. Bowers is so talented that he’s probably QB-proof, and he’s such a versatile chess piece that he should have no problem drawing ample targets even with WR Davante Adams around. Bowers is a special player.
1.09 — WR Xavier Worthy, Chiefs
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes get a wide receiver with 4.21 speed? Yes, please. Worthy’s fantasy stock soared when the Chiefs traded up to get him with the 28th pick of the draft.
