Superflex Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft (12-Team)
Round 1
Pick 1.01 – Ashton Jeanty (RB – Boise State)
Despite this being a Superflex draft, Ashton Jeanty is my 1.01 in all rookie draft formats. It is well known terrible offensive lines greatly hamper rookie and sophomore quarterback production. With the Titans and the Giants needing help in that position, it makes sense to use the 1.01 on a position that saw a significant bounce back in 2024.
Jeanty has the potential to be a league winner in the mold of Bijan Robinson and Saquon Barkley. His historic 2024 season caught the eyes of fantasy managers everywhere. Jeanty almost singlehandedly took Boise State to playoff contention. He decimated defenses all season long. He has the chance to be an elite running back in the NFL.
Don’t feel pressured to take quarterbacks in Superflex. Take the best player available. In this instance, that player is Jeanty.
Pick 1.02 – Shedeur Sanders (QB – Colorado)
This is a point in the draft where assumptions are that if you need a quarterback, Shedeur Sanders should come into play. Sanders is a prospect with risk. However, he is the most pro-ready quarterback in this class. Sanders was the only quarterback in Division 1 that managed over a 70% completion rate while attempting over 400 passes.
He also has a good football brain, going through his progressions at a good rate and speed and avoiding needless sacks. However, Sanders offers very little in the running game. This means he will only ever be in contention for a lower-end QB1 slot.
He will have spike weeks in the NFL. However, his ceiling is more Tua Tagovailoa from a fantasy perspective than Lamar Jackson. If you are picking at the 1.02 and need a quarterback, this is a fine pick. But if you are looking to turn into a contender sooner rather than later you may be wise to see who is available at the 1.03 instead and trade the pick to a quarterback-needy fantasy manager.
Pick 1.03 – Tetairoa McMillan (WR – Arizona)
Tetairoa McMillan is someone who will provide fantasy managers a significant boost to their wide receiver corps. He is going to dominate corners in the NFL. While the trend over the past few years has been smaller, speedier wide receivers, McMillan is almost a throwback receiver who will have a significant advantage in the NFL. McMillan is 6-foot-5 and weighs 212 pounds. The average corner in the NFL is 6-foot-0 and around 190 pounds.
We have watched Mike Evans dominate cornerbacks for years and I can see McMillan doing something similar. It also won’t impact him too much where he lands. His speed (a 4.46 40-yard time) and size will help out any quarterback in this league. He is a quarterback and offensive coordinator’s dream. Even though there is another first-round quarterback available, fantasy managers should feel good taking McMillan here.
Pick 1.04 – Cam Ward (QB – Miami)
I am a really big fan of Cam Ward. He has some intangibles such as leadership and poise that will make him highly attractive to NFL organizations. His decision-making has improved during his career. As has his offensive production.
However, what will concern fantasy managers is how he ended the season. It appeared the Miami offense and Ward, in particular, ran out of ideas and momentum. He didn’t look terrible. However, his season was almost a replica of Sam Darnold‘s season with Minnesota.
No one is sure what the reason for this is. But it will be a concern. Also, Ward doesn’t offer any rushing upside. If he can land in a good spot with a great coach to develop his traits there is a chance he could project into a fantasy QB1 in a couple of years.
However, if he lands in a horrible spot, there is every chance he could flame out of the NFL. This pick comes with risk. And there could be more potential upside with the coming picks.
Pick 1.05 – TreVeyon Henderson (RB – Ohio State)
This pick will shock some people. However, TreVeyon Henderson has a significant upside in the NFL. There are a lot of opportunities for him to land a heavy usage role immediately. Henderson can do everything the modern NFL running back needs to do. And he does it to a high level. He also wasn’t heavily used in college in the sense he didn’t touch the ball 300 times a season. This will mean he is fresh and doesn’t have too much wear and tear.
Henderson also had no significant injuries in college. He missed five games with a broken bone in his foot. However, that has not impacted him since he returned, leading to him having his best yards per attempt average of his career. The knock against Henderson is that he did not dominate his own backfield. That is the system Ohio State has deployed to great success for years. Other running backs who have come from a shared backfield in college to dominate in the NFL include Nick Chubb, Christian McCaffrey and Joe Mixon.
Henderson might turn a few heads in the NFL. He could have the highest upside of the remaining players in this rookie class.
Pick 1.06 – Jalen Milroe (QB – Alabama)
The best comparison I can make to Jalen Milroe is Justin Fields. A player who has elite rushing ability but questionable passing traits we are unsure if they will be good enough for the NFL. Milroe has a lot to like. He’s from a big school, meaning he is used to big crowds and pressure. His best games in 2024 came when Alabama was an underdog. Especially against Georgia and LSU. However, for those games, we also have Oklahoma and then Michigan in the playoffs.
Milroe has a deep passing action and could be the best quarterback in this class at throwing the deep ball. However, his decision-making is terrible. As is his ability to go through his progressions. I cannot shake the comp of Justin Fields out of my head as they both have the same positives and negatives.
The best thing that could happen to Milroe would be to be drafted in the mid-late first round to a team that can develop and give him time with a coaching staff and the tools needed to succeed. If a team like the Raiders drafts him early I would probably fade Milroe in all formats. He would be forced to start right away and potentially fail. We saw this storyline play out already with Fields.
He is worth a risk at this stage of rookie drafts as a stash as the upside is tremendous. However, there should be a lot of caution with this pick.
Pick 1.07 – Tyler Warren (TE – Penn State)
I am usually the one who fades the tight end position in fantasy football. However, with the position being extremely dire in 2024 for fantasy managers, Tyler Warren could be a difference-maker.
Warren managed one passing touchdown, eight receiving touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns in 2024. He even posted a game this season against USC with 17 receptions. This Swiss army knife player can do it all. He can run in plays at the goal line and has incredible speed for someone who is 6-foot-6 and 267 pounds (4.68 40-yard time). He also has incredible yards after the catch (YAC) numbers.
In the right hands, Warren could be an explosive tight end weapon in the NFL and for fantasy managers.
Pick 1.08 – Luther Burden III (WR – Missouri)
To be completely honest, this is a pick for pure upside rather than talent. Luther Burden is coming off a particularly quiet season. He was dominated at times by top corners in the SEC and only produced one 100-yard game in 2024. There is hope his 2023 tape and production will be enough to convince franchises to take Burden late in round one or early in round two of the NFL Draft.
His tools are ridiculous. He is explosive off the line, had an incredible 85.8% catch rate in college and huge YAC numbers. He is similar to what Kadarius Toney was in college but with rushing upside. He projects similar to Deebo Samuel.
Burden will need to land in a good spot to be utilized to the full extent of his talents. If that happens make sure to strap yourself in, as it could be a fun ride.
Pick 1.09 – Travis Hunter (WR/CB – Colorado)
I am going to get a lot of slack for this pick. However, I do not have the confidence in Travis Hunter remaining as a full-time wide receiver in the NFL. Hunter is an elite NFL cornerback in the making. However, I only have him as an average wide receiver. There is a reason why NFL players rarely split time at positions in the NFL. It is because you are playing the best of the best in the world. You have to be elite to just play one position.
In recent years, the NFL has had hybrid players like Isaiah Simmons enter the draft. However, the jack of all trades, master of none principle led to him being a part-time player on defense in under three years.
If you play in an IDP league, the safety net of him being a usable asset means you can select him higher. However, if you are picking near the top of rookie drafts and you have a rebuild on your hands, risking a pick on a player who might never play for your fantasy team is going to slow down your rebuild.
Due to name recognition and winning the Heisman Trophy, Hunter will not slip past the 1.09 pick in any rookie draft. However, he should only really be considered around the 1.07 pick or later.
Pick 1.10 – Quinshon Judkins (RB – Ohio State)
TreVeyon Henderson’s Ohio State teammate Quinshon Judkins makes it a rare feat that two running backs from the same backfield come off the board in the first round.
Judkins has an incredible skillset. Like Henderson, he has not been overused in college due to the shared backfield. However, the reason Henderson goes ahead of Judkins in this draft is for two reasons. I believe Henderson is the better blocker, which means he will see more time on the field. I also believe Henderson is the better pass-catcher and projects to be a pure three-down back.
Judkins is more of a two-down back or short-yardage specialist. He can also be explosive if he makes it to the second level and makes guys miss. His size (6-foot-0, 218 pounds) means he will be an excellent goal-line back in the NFL.
I see Judkins playing fewer downs in the NFL than Henderson. However, I still think he will be effective and worth a pick here at the 1.10 in this fantasy football mock draft.
Pick 1.11 – Isaiah Bond (WR – Texas)
When picking this late in round one, fantasy managers should look for pure upside. In the case of Isaiah Bond, he could be the man to deliver it to someone brave enough to take him here.
Bond is the fastest wide receiver in this class, possessing 4.28 40-yard speed. This will certainly get people talking if he can recreate this at the NFL Scouting Combine. However, Bond is more than just a deep threat. He is a utility player who can play out wide, in the slot and can be used on gadget plays such as jet sweeps and end-arounds.
This selection is predicated on Bond being selected in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft. If he is, that means a team has a plan for how they plan to utilize Bond and should give you the confidence to pick him here. If he slides to the third round or later I suggest fantasy managers pivot.
Pick 1.12 – Nicholas Singleton (RB – Penn State)
Singleton remained injury-free in college and will be an interesting selection in this class. Had he been in last year’s draft class, Singleton would have been selected much earlier than in this class.
The concern is not talent. The concern is this class is rather deep and there isn’t much that separates him from the next run of running backs. That means, through no fault of his own, Singleton could slide into the third or fourth round of the NFL Draft unless he has a phenomenal combine.
Singleton carries the most upside of the remaining picks, though, and fantasy managers should feel comfortable selecting him here. He will add depth to any running back room.
