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
2.04 — WR Ricky Pearsall, 49ers
There weren’t a lot of mock drafts that had Pearsall going in the first round, but the 49ers validated the enthusiasm for Pearsall within the dynasty community by nabbing him with the 31st pick. Pearsall faces a target logjam in Year 1, but his future is bright.
2.05 — RB Trey Benson, Cardinals
Benson will either back up or share work with James Conner, who’s entering his age-29 season. Not an ideal landing spot, but not awful either.
2.06 — WR Roman Wilson, Steelers
A steady riser during the predraft process, Wilson has a chance to earn a substantial target share for the Steelers right away.
