Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Xavier Legette, Malachi Corley, Adonai Mitchell (Fantasy Football)

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

2.07 — WR Xavier Legette, Panthers

The Panthers were so eager to draft Legette that they traded up from pick No. 33 to get him with pick No. 32. Legette is an imposing physical specimen, but he didn’t pop until his fifth college season. He’s the quintessential boom-or-bust fantasy prospect.

2.08 — WR Malachi Corley, Jets

A divisive WR prospect with a one-dimensional catch-and-run profile, Corley gained steam in dynasty rookie drafts when the Jets traded up to get him at the top of the third round.

2.09 — WR Adonai Mitchell, Colts

A lot of people thought Mitchell was going to be a first-round pick, so it’s somewhat ominous that he fell to pick No. 52. Mitchell’s size-speed combination gives him a lot of potential, but it’s clear that NFL teams weren’t in love with him. He goes to a team that will probably be run-heavy and has a high-volume receiver in place with Michael Pittman Jr.
