| Pick | Player | Position | School | Drafted By |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.01 | Jeremiyah Love | RB | Notre Dame | Jared Wackerly |
| 1.02 | Fernando Mendoza | QB | Indiana | Garret Price |
| 1.03 | Jordyn Tyson | WR | Arizona State | Taylor Christianson |
| 1.04 | Carnell Tate | WR | Ohio State | Bobby Bishop |
| 1.05 | Makai Lemon | WR | USC | Mychal Warno |
| 1.06 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon | Doc Mitchell |
| 1.07 | Ty Simpson | QB | Alabama | Jared Wackerly |
| 1.08 | KC Concepcion | WR | Texas A&M | Garret Price |
| 1.09 | Denzel Boston | WR | Washington | Taylor Christianson |
| 1.10 | Kenyon Sadiq | TE | Oregon | Bobby Bishop |
| 1.11 | Justice Haynes | RB | Michigan | Mychal Warno |
| 1.12 | Eli Stowers | TE | Vanderbilt | Doc Mitchell |
Pick 1.01 | Jeremiyah Love | RB | Notre Dame
Height/Weight: 6’0” | 214 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Jeremiyah Love kicks off the 2026 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft as the type of versatile, three-down runner that dynasty managers chase in SuperFlex formats. His acceleration, long speed, and receiving ability allow him to stay on the field in all game scripts. Love’s balance through contact makes him a safe projection for early NFL Draft capital, and the profile is reminiscent of past top-five dynasty running backs. In a class with volatility at quarterback, Love offers elite stability. A quick glance at his 2025 stats highlights that he has every down potential with over 1,300 rushing yards and 25-plus catches.
Pick 1.02 | Fernando Mendoza | QB | Indiana
Height/Weight: 6’5” | 225 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Price
Doc’s Take: Fernando Mendoza has surged thanks to improved processing and a much tighter release. At 6’5”, he shows excellent pocket command and enough mobility to keep defenses honest. In SuperFlex leagues, securing a potential long-term NFL starter at 1.02 is exactly how managers gain a structural edge. If Mendoza lands with a QB-friendly coaching staff, he could rise into the top 15 of the NFL Draft. While this top-level prospect doesn’t have gaudy numbers with less than 3,000 passing yards, he does possess elite efficiency, accounting for 39 scores on the season. When he gets in the red zone, this prospect cashes it in.
Pick 1.03 | Jordyn Tyson | WR | Arizona State
Height/Weight: 6’2” | 200 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: This is one of the most explosive receivers in the class. Jordyn Tyson brings a true multi-level route utility. His ability to separate both early and late in routes gives him one of the safer projections among early wideouts. Tyson profiles as a volume-driven fantasy asset with WR1 upside in PPR formats. This is a strong pick for teams seeking immediate receiving production. Injuries slowed his quick start, but Tyson still managed to make his presence felt. Tyson is a strong candidate to be the top receiver selected in the upcoming draft.
Pick 1.04 | Carnell Tate | WR | Ohio State
Height/Weight: 6’3” | 191 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: Carnell Tate follows in the long line of Ohio State technicians. His releases, footwork, and ability to manipulate leverage are already NFL-caliber. Tate wins with nuance more than raw athleticism, but his frame and functional strength give him a complete profile. Paired with a stable passer, Tate projects as a high-floor dynasty WR2 who could develop into more. Tate has the size to play the X or Z positions at the next level. He upped his ypc in his final season at OSU from 14.1 to 17.5, showing that he is more than just a possession receiver.
Pick 1.05 | Makai Lemon | WR | USC
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 195 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take: Makai Lemon is electric with the ball in his hands and offers slot/outside versatility. USC used him in motion, vertical concepts, and manufactured touches—all promising for early NFL usage. His ceiling hinges on landing spot, but Lemon’s agility and YAC profile give him strong fantasy leverage. This is the ideal value at 1.05. Lemon exploded in his final collegiate season. His 79 grabs for 1,156 and 11 scores paced the Trojans in every category. His skill set is reminiscent of former USC greats Amon Ra St. Brown and Robert Woods.
Pick 1.06 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon
Height/Weight: 6’3” | 206 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: This signal caller has one of the liveliest arms in the class. His improvement at Oregon, particularly his anticipation over the middle, has revived his NFL outlook. Dante Moore remains young for the position, which offers significant developmental runway. In SuperFlex, this is a premium upside swing. Moore hasn’t been the most prolific passer in the nation, but his leadership and efficiency helped guide the Ducks back to the College Football Playoffs. He is a strong candidate to get 1st Round NFL draft capital and be a great asset in SuperFlex formats.
Pick 1.07 | Ty Simpson | QB | Alabama
Height/Weight: 6’2” | 208 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Ty Simpson brings athleticism and dual-threat functionality to a quarterback class that needs dynamic playmakers. His arm talent is undeniable, and Alabama’s system showcased how dangerous he can be outside structure. With improved ball placement, Simpson could become one of the most fantasy-friendly QBs of the cycle. Much like our other top signal callers this year Ty Simpson only had one real year of production. But it was good enough to have his name being discussed as a potential 1st round pick in the coming draft.

Pick 1.08 | KC Concepcion | WR | Texas A&M
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 190 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Price
Doc’s Take: KC Concepcion is a dynamic separator with elite short-area movement. His transfer to Texas A&M unlocked far more intermediate usage, and he thrived. Concepcion profiles as a target magnet who will thrive in PPR-heavy builds. Undersized but polished, he’s one of the safest bets for early fantasy relevance. Think of a player along the lines of WanDale Robinson. One area where Concepcion separates himself is in the endzone. Over the course of his three years as a starter, he scored a combined 25 TDs.
Pick 1.09 | Denzel Boston | WR | Washington
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 209 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: Denzel Boston is a smooth, long-striding outside receiver with elite body control. Washington has produced NFL-ready route runners, and Boston may be next. His frame and red-zone prowess give him spike-week potential. Boston is a prototypical X receiver with top-20 NFL Draft potential. Boston brings excellent size for the position, and you can see it in his production. He has scored 19 TDs over the past two seasons in Washington.
Pick 1.10 | Kenyon Sadiq | TE | Oregon
Height/Weight: 6’3” | 245 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: Kenyon Sadiq is one of the most athletic tight ends in the 2026 class. Oregon weaponized him as both an inline mismatch and a big slot. His movement skills at 245 lbs are rare, and he projects as a fantasy-friendly receiving tight end. In TE-premium formats, this would be a smash. Sadiq doesn’t have the most gaudy numbers, but he made his targets count, turning 8 of his 40 grabs into TDs. He reminds me a lot of former 1st round pick Noah Fant and will likely be a candidate who hears his name called sometime in the first two days of the upcoming draft.
Pick 1.11 | Justice Haynes | RB | Michigan
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 210 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take: Justice Haynes combines power, vision, and receiving utility in a compact frame. The Michigan scheme showcased his downhill acceleration and finishing ability. Haynes profiles similarly to several recent NFL backs who earned Day 2 draft capital and immediate touches. Excellent value late in Round 1. Haynes put up career-high numbers in both yards per carry (7.1) and TDs (10). It will be interesting to see how he tests at the upcoming combine, but he looks to be a solid prospect.
Pick 1.12 | Eli Stowers | TE | Vanderbilt
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 235 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: Eli Stowers is an athletic conversion player whose TE production took off at Vanderbilt. He offers run-after-catch ability uncommon for the position and could become a matchup nightmare at the next level. Stowers is raw, but the upside is massive. Stowers has been my personal top TE at the position throughout the entire season. He was 1st team All-SEC in 2024 and only got better in his final season at Vanderbilt. He served as the top weapon in the passing game for the Commodores, reeling in 62 grabs for 769 yards and 4 scores. I believe that he will hear his name called on day 2 of the upcoming NFL draft.

Round 2 | Rookie Mock Draft (Picks 2.01–2.12)
(Tap here) Selections 13-24 for Round 2
Below is a condensed table of Selections 13-24 in the SuperFlex 2026 Rookie Mock Draft:
| Pick | Player | Position | School | Drafted By |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.01 | Germie Bernard | WR | Alabama | Jared Wackerly |
| 2.02 | Chris Brazzell II | WR | Tennessee | Garret Price |
| 2.03 | Bryce Lance | WR | North Dakota State | Taylor Christianson |
| 2.04 | Chris Bell | WR | Louisville | Bobby Bishop |
| 2.05 | Jonah Coleman | RB | Washington | Mychal Warno |
| 2.06 | Emmett Johnson | RB | Nebraska | Doc Mitchell |
| 2.07 | Jadarian Price | RB | Notre Dame | Jared Wackerly |
| 2.08 | Jayden Maiava | QB | USC | Garret Price |
| 2.09 | Elijah Sarratt | WR | Indiana | Taylor Christianson |
| 2.10 | LaNorris Sellers | QB | South Carolina | Bobby Bishop |
| 2.11 | Ja’Kobi Lane | WR | USC | Mychal Warno |
| 2.12 | Duce Robinson | WR | Florida State | Doc Mitchell |
Pick 2.01 | Germie Bernard | WR | Alabama
Height/Weight: 6’1” | 204 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Germie Bernard took a big leap after transferring to Alabama, showcasing improved physicality, strong hands, and the ability to win in contested situations. At 6’1”, he’s a reliable boundary option who could earn early snaps in the NFL. Ideal WR depth with upside. Bernard looks to be a solid playmaker, putting up his second consecutive season of over 700 receiving yards. He will likely go sometime between day 2 and 3 of the upcoming NFL draft.
Pick 2.02 | Chris Brazzell II | WR | Tennessee
Height/Weight: 6’5” | 200 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Pice
Doc’s Take: Chris Brazzell II brings rare height-speed traits to this class. Tennessee unlocked more of his vertical threat profile in 2025, and Brazzell’s ability to win above the rim gives him red-zone fantasy equity. If he tests well, he could become a Round 2 NFL pick. Brazzell II caught all of our eyes early in the year with his massive performance against Georgia. He went on to put up some of the best numbers in the SEC, going for over 1,000 yards and 9 scores. He has some boom-bust potential, but think of a young Chase Claypool.
Pick 2.03 | Bryce Lance | WR | North Dakota State
Height/Weight: 6’3” | 209 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: This small school stud has size, burst, and developing route nuance. North Dakota State produced several NFL receivers with similar profiles, and Bryce Lance made strides as an intermediate separator. If he dominates the Senior Bowl process, he could rise significantly. When scouting players from the FCS level, you want to see elite-level production and traits. Lance has both in spades with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and a whopping 25 scores over the last two seasons. Keep your eye on this playmaker at the Senior Bowl.
Pick 2.04 | Chris Bell | WR | Louisville
Height/Weight: 6’2” | 220 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: Chris Bell is a powerful receiver with excellent yards-after-contact ability. Louisville’s offense showcased his ability to body defenders and create late separation. He projects as a chain-moving WR2 with upside if he lands in a system heavy on play-action and in-breaking routes. Bell saw a drastic improvement every year in the college ranks. This selection may have been a little different if the news of his recent ACL injury had broken sooner. As it is, Bell will likely have a slow start to his NFL career, but a savvy NFL squad will get a discount on a very dangerous player.
Pick 2.05 | Jonah Coleman | RB | Washington
Height/Weight: 5’9” | 228 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take: Jonah Coleman is a compact bowling ball with impressive contact balance. His low center of gravity and lateral quickness make him difficult to square up. Coleman could become a goal-line and early-down hammer with just enough receiving usage to matter in fantasy. A style and game reminiscent of former Alabama great Mark Ingram, Jonah Coleman filled the stat sheet as both a runner and a pass catcher. His rushing numbers dipped in his final collegiate season, but his receiving numbers took a jump, leaving him with over 1,000 yards of total offense. Many have him as one of their top 2 or 3 RBs in the class.
Pick 2.06 | Emmett Johnson | RB | Nebraska
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 200 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: Emmett Johnson broke out with improved vision and smoother footwork. His ability to slip tackles in space gives him fantasy-friendly upside, though his projection hinges on gaining more size or carving out a passing-game role. He is a strong round 2 selection in a PPR league. He was one of the most productive players in the nation, giving the Cornhuskers 1,451 rushing yards with 12 rushing TDs to go along with an incredible 46 grabs for 370 yards and 3 more scores in the air. If he can handle the workload, he could be a really intriguing prospect. He will be a fun one to watch at the upcoming combine.
Pick 2.07 | Jadarian Price | RB | Notre Dame
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 209 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Jadarian Price offers burst and pass-game utility. Notre Dame produced multiple dual-threat runners, and Price fits the mold. He may never be a bell cow, but he has the explosiveness to thrive in a committee and earn valuable high-efficiency touches. Price was very efficient with his limited touches behind Love at Notre Dame. Strangely, for a complimentary RB, he never operated as much of a pass catcher, instead ripping off chunk carries to the tune of over 6 ypc each of the last 2 years at South Bend.
Pick 2.08 | Jayden Maiava | QB | USC
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 230 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Price
Doc’s Take: Jayden Maiava has one of the biggest arms in the class and NFL-caliber size. His transition to USC showcased major growth as a pocket manager. Maiava is a prototypical traits-based swing and a strong SuperFlex target in the late second. Maiava did well with his transfer from UNLV. He put up career-best numbers in nearly every major category. His size and traits will have teams giving him serious consideration in this shallow class.
Pick 2.09 | Elijah Sarratt | WR | Indiana
Height/Weight: 6’2” | 209 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: Elijah Sarratt is a contested-catch winner with underrated YAC ability. His physicality stands out on film, and he consistently converts tight-window throws. If he tests well, Sarratt could become a coveted possession receiver at the next level. Sarratt never put up gaudy numbers following his transfer from James Madison. However, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t an impactful player. Indiana played a ball-control style of football that limited his touches. But, he did some really nice things with the touches he did get, helping lead the Hoosiers to a Big 10 title. He reminds me a lot of former Stanford WR Michael Wilson.
Pick 2.10 | LaNorris Sellers | QB | South Carolina
Height/Weight: 6’3” | 240 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: LaNorris Sellers might be the most underrated fantasy quarterback in this class. At 240 lbs with dual-threat ability, he brings a goal-line rushing profile similar to several current top-12 dynasty QBs. If his accuracy improves, Sellers could be the steal of the draft. Sellers is a toolsy playmaker that is being taken for his potential upside more so than his career production. He didn’t enjoy quite the 2025 many were thinking, with just under 2,500 passing yards and only 13 TD passes against 8 interceptions. He has something of an Anthony Richardson feel to him. But one thing is for certain: if he hits, it will be big.
*This draft took place just before Sellers decided to go back to school. Analysis remains, opportunity to draft him awaits.
Pick 2.11 | Ja’Kobi Lane | WR | USC
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 200 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take. This playmaker is a long, lanky receiver with strong downfield tracking ability. USC’s passing scheme maximized his size advantages, and Ja’Kobi Lane projects as a perimeter mismatch in the NFL. His fantasy value will depend on red-zone usage early. Lane never quite cracked the 1,000-yard mark at USC, but he did put up 12 scores last season. He has something of former Chicago and Philly standout Alshon Jeffrey to his game.
Pick 2.12 | Duce Robinson | WR | Florida State
Height/Weight: 6’6” | 222 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: Duce Robinson is a rare athlete with tight end size but wide receiver movement. His Florida State production unlocked the vertical element in his game, and he could be used as a hybrid mismatch at the next level. Robinson is a strong upside swing to close out Round 2. The only real question is which position he will play at the next level. Originally recruited to USC as a TE, his transfer to Florida was a stroke of genius. His 1,074 yards in 2025 were more than all of his other years in the college ranks combined. I would love to see him end up in a Jimmy Graham role with the Broncos.

Round 3 | Rookie Mock Draft (Picks 3.01–3.12)
(Tap here) Selections 25-36 for Round 3
Below is a condensed table of Selections 25-36 in the SuperFlex 2026 Rookie Mock Draft:
| Pick | Player | Position | School | Drafted By |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.01 | Max Klare | TE | Ohio State | Jared Wackerly |
| 3.02 | Nicholas Singleton | RB | Penn State | Garret Price |
| 3.03 | Skyler Bell | WR | UConn | Taylor Christianson |
| 3.04 | Kaytron Allen | RB | Penn State | Bobby Bishop |
| 3.05 | Carson Beck | QB | Miami | Mychal Warno |
| 3.06 | Zachariah Branch | WR | Georgia | Doc Mitchell |
| 3.07 | Demond Claiborne | RB | Wake Forest | Jared Wackerly |
| 3.08 | Nyck Harbor | WR | South Carolina | Garret Price |
| 3.09 | Michael Trigg | TE | Baylor | Taylor Christianson |
| 3.10 | Hollywood Smothers | RB | NC State | Bobby Bishop |
| 3.11 | Antonio Williams | WR | Clemson | Mychal Warno |
| 3.12 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | Doc Mitchell |
Pick 3.01 | Max Klare | TE | Ohio State
Height/Weight: 6’5” | 243 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Max Klare brings classic inline traits with enough athleticism to matter in the passing game. Ohio State tight ends often transition well to the NFL thanks to strong fundamentals. Klare is a long-term TE stash with TE2 upside. Although his numbers were down in 2025, he still has some really nice upside at the next level.
Pick 3.02 | Nicholas Singleton | RB | Penn State
Height/Weight: 6’0” | 224 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Price
Doc’s Take: The dynamic rusher once looked like a future 1.01 candidate. While his production fluctuated, the athletic tools remain elite. At 224 lbs with breakaway speed, Nicholas Singleton could still earn Day 2 NFL capital if he tests well. Tremendous value at 3.02. He leaves PSU as their All-Time leader in scrimmage yards and rushing TDs. Despite being the better athlete, he was outshone in 2025 by running mate Katron Allen. Singleton will be a fun player to watch at the upcoming combine, as I expect him to shine in that part of the testing.
Pick 3.03 | Skyler Bell | WR | UConn
Height/Weight: 6’0” | 185 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: Skyler Bell is a sudden receiver with strong hands and inside-outside alignment versatility. His acceleration makes him a chain mover, and he profiles as a future starting WR for NFL teams. In deep dynasty formats, Bell is a smart stash. Bell put up some really big numbers in his final season at UConn. His 1,278 yards and 13 scores were among the best in the college ranks. I will be curious to see how he does in the pre-draft process against corners from some of the bigger programs.
Pick 3.04 | Kaytron Allen | RB | Penn State
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 217 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: Kaytron Allen is a tough, efficient runner who consistently generates extra yards. He lacks elite long speed but offers a reliable floor and NFL-ready frame. In Round 3, this is a strong pick for teams needing RB depth with legitimate opportunity upside. As I mentioned for his running mate, Singleton, 2025 saw the emergence of a dominant Kaytron Allen. The senior runner put up a whopping 1.303 rushing yards and 15 scores, all while averaging over 6.0 ypc. Allen’s 4,180 career rushing yards are the most ever by a PSU RB. He has the look of an excellent early down RB at the next level.
Pick 3.05 | Carson Beck | QB | Miami
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 220 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take: Carson Beck’s transfer to Miami gave him a clean runway to showcase his timing and anticipation throws. He’s unlikely to be a high-upside fantasy option, but he could become a long-term NFL low-end starter valuable in deep SuperFlex builds. He is the classic Bill Parcells QB with a ton of winning football experience. If he can find the right situation, he could develop into a solid pocket passer at the next level.
Pick 3.06 | Zachariah Branch | WR | Georgia
Height/Weight: 5’10” | 180 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: This guy is a jitterbug athlete with elite returner skills, and Georgia used him creatively to maximize his speed. While undersized, Zachariah Branch has the explosiveness to carve out a role similar to several modern space-touch specialists. Think of a player similar to Zay Flowers. Branch is a natural slot with over 70 grabs in 2025. It will be interesting to see how fast he runs at the combine. He could be a really nice PPR asset at the NFL level.
Pick 3.07 | Demond Claiborne | RB | Wake Forest
Height/Weight: 5’10” | 195 lbs
Drafted by: Jared Wackerly
Doc’s Take: Demond Claiborne was a bright spot for Wake Forest with his sharp cuts and finishing ability. While small for a workhorse role, he runs with surprising authority and could carve out a third-down role in the NFL. He has some of the best stats of any back entering the upcoming NFL draft. Claiborne has put up over 1,000 total yards and 10 scores in consecutive seasons to close out his collegiate career. He has an intriguing profile.
Pick 3.08 | Nyck Harbor | WR | South Carolina
Height/Weight: 6’5” | 235 lbs
Drafted by: Garret Price
Doc’s Take: Nyck Harbor might be the most physically gifted athlete in college football. At 6’5”, his track speed is absurd. Harbor remains raw as a route runner, but the ceiling is truly unlimited. A smash swing in Round 3. The numbers might not look like much with only 618 receiving yards in 2025, but just one look at his film and you can see the traits. It would be awesome to see him land with an offense-minded HC who can bring him along slowly while keeping him involved within the game plan to accentuate his freakish athletic skills.
Pick 3.09 | Michael Trigg | TE | Baylor
Height/Weight: 6’4” | 240 lbs
Drafted by: Taylor Christianson
Doc’s Take: Michael Trigg is a smooth-moving tight end with natural hands and wide receiver-like fluidity. Baylor unlocked more of his seam-stretching ability, and he projects as a developmental TE2 with receiving upside. In 2025, Trigg posted career bests in most major receiving categories. In particular, his 694 yards were his best single season by a long shot. A bit of an older prospect, he could be an early-Day 3 selection.
Pick 3.10 | Hollywood Smothers | RB | NC State
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 195 lbs
Drafted by: Bobby Bishop
Doc’s Take: Hollywood Smothers is a lightning-quick runner with home-run ability. NC State used him as a change-of-pace weapon, but his burst could earn him a larger role in the NFL. Ideal Round 3 stash in dynasty leagues. With a name like Hollywood, you know he must have some flash. Smother led all ACC RBs with 85.4 yards per game. With a Bowl game on tap, he will almost certainly crack the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time in his career. His excellent rushing numbers, combined with his 37 catches, led to him being named 1st Team All-ACC.
Pick 3.11 | Antonio Williams | WR | Clemson
Height/Weight: 5’11” | 190 lbs
Drafted by: Mychal Warno
Doc’s Take: Antonio Williams offers blazing speed and strong vertical ability. Clemson found ways to feed him schemed touches, and he projects as a field-stretcher at the next level. Great best-ball profile. Williams failed to live up to his pre-season hype but still managed to put up some respectable numbers within the Tigers’ offensive scheme. You just wonder how much better his numbers would have been with a full season.
Pick 3.12 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State
Height/Weight: 6’5” | 235 lbs
Drafted by: Doc Mitchell
Doc’s Take: Drew Allar is a strong-armed passer whose development has been uneven, but the tools remain intriguing. At 6’5” with velocity and vertical ability, he’s the type of late SuperFlex dart throw who could massively exceed ADP if he lands in the right situation. Not that long ago, he was thought of as the top QB in the class. A down statistical season and a season-ending injury have left him out of sight and out of mind for most. I am hoping for a soft landing spot, perhaps late on day 2 or early on day 3, to a squad like the Rams, who could allow him to heal and learn for a year or more before being thrust into the fire.
Recap & Strategy Notes
This mock showcased:
- Early QB volatility: Only one QB went inside the top five, pushing value into the 1.06–1.10 range.
- Deep WR class: Round 2 is filled with long-term WR3/WR4 prospects with realistic paths to NFL roles.
- Sneaky RB depth: Several Round 3 running backs offer burst and receiving potential—ideal for zero-RB dynasty builds.
- Tight end upside: Kenyon Sadiq, Eli Stowers, Michael Trigg, and Max Klare make TE-premium formats extremely interesting.
