2027 SuperFlex Rookie Mock Draft
1.01 | Jeremiah Smith | WR | Ohio State
H 6’3” | W 223
Keith Ensminger:
If I was paid by the number of positive adjectives per paragraph, I’d want to be the writer who gets to pick Jeremiah Smith each and every time. What more can be written about this young man? Even if you don’t follow the college game, is there anyone reading this who hasn’t heard of Jeremiah Smith? He’s the best player in college football, arriving to Ohio State as a consensus five-star signee and immediately validated lofty expectations by shattering freshman receiving records and capturing a national championship. At 6’3″ and 223 pounds, Smith combines physical dominance with vertical speed, boasting a Julio Jones-esque profile. He’s a top-five NFL draft pick lock. In SuperFlex leagues, until we know more about the quarterbacks and their landing spots, Smith will be the uncontested 1.01 in dynasty rookie mock drafts.
1.02 | Arch Manning | QB | Texas
H 6’4” | W 222
Bobby Bishop:
Arch Manning started last season with some disappointing performances against Ohio State and UTEP, but he broke out during the second half of the season. When I watch him play, I’m reminded of Clemson Trevor Lawrence. He has arm talent, crisp footwork, and an underrated scrambling ability. I think Arch Manning is going to be a safe pick at the top of draft, because his name alone will hold value. Even if he has a slow rookie season, people will see the legacy and (likely high) draft capital and still pay a hefty fee for the potential.
1.03 | Cam Coleman | WR | Texas
H 6’3” | W 204
Taylor Christianson:
If Jeremiah Smith wasn’t the Alpha of all alphas, Cam Coleman would be a strong competitor to the WR1 overall discussion. He’s also 6’3”, and lighter than Smith at 204 pounds, but the dude can move. Whether it’s getting out of breaks or going up for the 50/50 balls, Coleman has NFL speed and size. The biggest hole in his profile is the overall production in 2025 with 56 receptions for 708 yards and 5 TDs. Thankfully, he’s tied to Arch Manning for year two, and we’ll be able to see just how dominant Coleman can be at the college level. I expect him to be viewed as the WR2 of the 2027 class, come January.
1.04 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon
H 6’3” | W 206
Doc Mitchell:
Last season Dante Moore was in the running to be a top-5 NFL and dynasty draft pick. Fast forward to the 2027 class and the story has not changed. Moore brings a tantalizing blend of arm talent and athleticism. I expect him to have another fine season and be looked at as a top-end draft pick. For dynasty I could see an upside similar to that of Jordan Love.
1.05 | Kewan Lacy | RB | Ole Miss
H 5’11” | W 205
Keith Ensminger:
Yes, you should be excited about Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman. Yes, you should be excited about the number of elite quarterbacks potentially available. However, one of the most exciting aspects of this rookie class is that unlike the 2026 group, there are many talented running backs, especially at a time when the NFL and fantasy football players are yearning for young talent at that position. Kewan Lacy is one such running back. Lacy has developed into a dynamic three-down weapon capable of creating yards both as an interior runner as well as a receiving option. Heading into 2027 rookie drafts, Lacy profiles as a high-volume feature back with PPR upside. In other words, he has the potential to be fantasy football gold.
1.06 | Ahmad Hardy | RB | Missouri
H 5’10” | W 210
Bobby Bishop:
It’s important to note that Ahmad Hardy got shot in the offseason, and he will miss the season opener. I’m making this selection under the assumption that he will return to his pre-injury talent level before the draft. Hardy felt impossible to tackle at times last season. He forced 97 missed tackles last season and avered 4.6 yards per carry after contact. He is a special talent who deserves to get back healthy and on the field.
1.07 | Jadan Baugh | RB | Florida
H 6’1” | W 225
Taylor Christianson:
As Keith alluded to earlier, there are some RB studs in this draft class. He chose Lacy liquid gold, and I’m going with Jadan Baugh, double platinum. After a 2025 season with 220 carries, 33 receptions, 10 TDs and 0 fumbles, there’s not much left but the encore. Baugh is fast, powerful, and built to endure a full workload. It’s early to name any of these guys the true RB1 of the class, but there will be several excellent options to choose from. My early money is on Baugh to be “the guy” of his future NFL offense.
1.08 | Julian Sayin | QB | Ohio State
H 6’1” | W 208
Doc Mitchell:
This is a SuperFlex draft and with that in mind I am once again going back to the QB well. This class has a number of different 1st round prospects and Sayin is certainly one of them. He isn’t the biggest QB in the world but he brings excellent anticipation and elite accuracy for the position. If he manages to land with a good team and hits his ceiling, I could see an outcome similar to Brock Purdy as a dynasty asset.
1.09 | LaNorris Sellers | QB | South Carolina
H 6’3” | W 240
Keith Ensminger:
“This is pure projection!” Well, yes. I’m a sucker for the traits! If you’ve never seen him in action, LaNorris Sellers is a physically imposing dual-threat quarterback featuring arm strength and running ability. Unfortunately, the South Carolina roster has held him back. When you compare what other schools (like Texas with Arch Manning) did to help their elite quarterback prospects, the lack of talent on the Gamecocks’ roster borders on malpractice. Sellers projects as an intriguing, ceiling-driven QB choice whose rushing baseline and deep-ball arm talent give him immense fantasy upside. I will say, I don’t think this is another Anthony Richardson situation. Sellers already has more starts under his belt, and he’s easily a better passer of the football than Richardson ever was.
1.10 | Ryan Coleman-Williams | WR | Alabama
H 6’0” | W 182
Bobby Bishop:
Ryan Coleman-Williams burst onto the national scene as a 17-year-old freshman with the ridiculous spin move touchdown vs. Georgia. He has always struggled with drops, but last season, he was basically a nonfactor. Watching the freshman tape, I have no choice but to believe that Coleman-Williams has yet to play his best football. If he hits the jugs machines, his outstanding route running will land him as a consistent first round rookie draft pick next year.
1.11 | Charlie Becker | WR | Indiana
H 6’4” | W 207
Taylor Christianson:
If there’s a theme to this year’s high-end draft class, it’s that size has arrived. This is the year prototypical traits drafters have been waiting for. Charlie Becker is a 6’4” stride walker who snatches everything within his grasp. While everyone drooled over Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr. last season, Becker was the guy Fernando Mendoza looked for in the clutch on the way to a National Championship. It could be another magical year for the Hoosiers, and Becker is set as the foundational weapon that will be relied on all season.
1.12 | Mark Fletcher, Jr. | RB | Miami
H 6’2” | W 225
Doc Mitchell:
Just like my selection of Dante Moore earlier, Mark Fletcher was originally looked at as a potential high-end 2026 prospect. But, things change and Fletcher chose to head back to school like other recent RBs. He is big and powerful with a true NFL skill set. Think of a young James Conner. A bruising back with enough juice and decent enough hands. In the right situation he could be a decent RB2.
2.01 | Justice Haynes | RB | Georgia Tech
H 5’11” | W 210
Keith Ensminger:
In our recent single quarterback rookie mock, I got more than a few judgmental side eyes from readers and Redditors when I picked Justice Haynes at 1.07. Well, I’m back again to plant my flag and unapologetically extoll the virtues of Mr. Haynes. I mean, he’s only a former five-star recruit who succeeded against both SEC and Big Ten defenses following stints playing for Alabama and Michigan, right? I have no idea how he’s become undervalued in this class. Was it the late season injury? The transfer to Georgia Tech? I don’t know, but here we are! Haynes combines elite contact balance with game-breaking burst in the open field. He runs with a low center of gravity and patient vision. With his three-down skillset, he remains a prime target for me, even in this loaded class.
2.02 | Drew Mestemaker | QB | Oklahoma St.
H 6’3” | W 215
Bobby Bishop:
Drew Mestemaker has a wide range of outcomes this year. Best case scenario, I truly believe with his size and arm talent, he could be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. There is also a scenario where he doesn’t even declare this season. Last season at North Texas, he looked raw at times. He transferred to Oklahoma State this offseason, and Mestemaker’s talent will cause Big 12 defenses to have serious problems. I’m paying very close attention to Mestemaker’s offseason growth and early season adjustments to Power 4 defenses.
2.03 | CJ Carr | QB | Notre Dame
H 6’2” | W 215
Taylor Christianson:
I’m not a quarterback whisperer. If you ask my daughter, I can’t whisper at all. I certainly can’t play quarterback. That said, I can’t stop hearing the praise from Todd McShay on The McShay Show, and Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rogers on NFL Stock Exchange when I hear CJ Carr’s name. Carr is a pure thrower with great mechanics that is primed to excel in the Notre Dame system this year. He has future NFL weapons to throw to and his name is already producing steam among long-shot Heisman bettors. As far as I’m hearing, all he has to do is land the well-built plane and he’ll be in heavy consideration for the 2027 1st Round—if he declares, that is.
2.04 | Trey’Dez Green | TE | LSU
H 6’7” | W 237
Doc Mitchell:
At this point in the draft I chose to finally snag the first TE off the board. Green is a massive athlete. He reminds me of a young Jimmy Graham. His size and basketball background make him an ideal fantasy target. I believe he has an excellent chance to be the first TE off the board in April. I look for him to build on his intriguing 2026. He is a bonafide TD monster. Here in the 2nd round, I love his upside as a potential long-term TE1 for your dynasty squad.
2.05 | Isaac Brown | RB | Louisville
H 5’9” | W 190
Keith Ensminger:
Do you like fast, athletic scatbacks? Well, allow me to present Isaac Brown. Brown is a lightning-fast home-run threat who uses lateral quickness to create explosive plays in open space. Coupled with high-end pass-catching skills, and you’ve got an upside PPR target for your 2027 rookie drafts. Although at his size, his inevitable dynasty value is going to depend a bit more heavily on his landing spot, if he’s paired with a creative coach, he’s going to be a player who will quickly rise up draft boards.
2.06 | Darian Mensah | QB | Miami
H 6’3” | W 205
Bobby Bishop:
Darian Mensah is currently on the Cam Ward trajectory. Instead of being a 2nd or 3rd Round NFL Draft selection, Mensah decided to stay in college and transfer to Miami. He’ll be throwing to Malachi Toney, one of the most explosive receivers in college football. Mensah is a dual-threat prospect who puts consistent pressure on defenses to cover the full field. Many analysts have him in Heisman conversations to start the 2026 college season.
2.07 | KJ Duff | WR | Rutgers
H 6’6” | W 225
Taylor Christianson:
I double checked the height so you all wouldn’t have to. Yes, KJ Duff is 6’6” and yes, he is still incredibly nimble. Check out the incredible one-handed snag on his ESPN profile page next time you’re checking in on the Rutgers phenom WR. In a class with mon-starz, Duff stands above them all. While the level of competition isn’t the same, the dominance he displays on tape still bodes well for Duff’s future prospects. I’m looking forward to just how high he can rise this season.
2.08 | Hollywood Smothers | RB | Texas
H 6’2” | W 225
Doc Mitchell:
It seems that I can’t get enough of the players who were eligable to come out last season. Smothers is a top-notch satellite RB who has found his way into a much better situation. The Longhorns have done a fantastic job of turning out NFL RBs and I look for Smothers to be the next in that long line. He has a bit of a lean frame, but I have seen him handle some sizable workloads in the college ranks. I could see him fulfilling a high-end complementary role for a squad, something like Kenneth Gainwell in Pittsburgh last year. An RB2 outcome is my prediction for him in the right spot.
2.09 | Nate Frazier | RB | Georgia
H 5’10” | W 205
Keith Ensminger:
There are still so many players I could take with this pick. What a deep rookie class! With my final pick, I’ll take a player who has carved out a workload for a major SEC program. Even as a freshman, Nate Frazier has had success, pairing track speed with rushing instincts. He has a complete, well-rounded profile, capable of operating in all phases of an NFL offense. After a slow start to last season, his value fell a bit, but he rebounded nicely down the stretch with big games against Mississippi State and Georgia Tech. He was the focal point of Georgia’s offense in their close loss to Ole Miss in the first round of the 2026 College Football Playoff. Again, seeing him still available here, so late in the second round really showcases how exciting this class could be for our dynasty rosters.
2.10 | Nyck Harbor | WR | South Carolina
H 6’5” | W 239
Bobby Bishop:
I had to go for upside with my final selection, so I took the cheat code hiself, Nyck Harbor. His size and speed are 99th percentile for the position. Harbor will smash the combine, but what I care most about is the improvement I’ve seen at the wide receiver position every single season. When I watch him play, I see so much DK Metcalf in his game. If Harbor makes one final jump in his route running nuance, he could solidify himself as a 1st Round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
2.11 | LJ Martin | RB | BYU
H 6’2” | W 225
Taylor Christianson:
Picture it: a 6’2” RB who can run around you, through you, and over you, while improving in carries, receptions, and ypc every season. LJ Martin is not a mirage, tho his profile suggests something must be lacking to be available at the end of the 2nd round. Honestly, I think the class is just this deep. A star RB out of a smaller school just won’t be enough to crack the top 20 in dynasty rookie drafts this year. Last year, Martin could’ve been propped up as the RB2 of the class pre NFL Draft. In 2027, he’s a name to keep an eye on as the year progresses.
2.12 | TJ Moore | WR | Clemson
H 6’3” | W 200
Doc Mitchell:
With the last pick in this mock I had a number of difficult choices. I eneded up going with TJ Moore because I believe he has an immense ceiling. He is long and lean with a silky smooth stride. His game reminds me of another former Tiger great in Tee Higgins. Like his fellow Tiger, I believe that Moore could be an elite no. 2 in the NFL. In the right spot he could easily be a low-end WR2 to high-end WR3 for your dynasty squads.
Conclusion
Football seasons are full of twists and turns, and a lot can and will change over the next year. Who will breakout? Who will flop? Who did we miss in our mock?
Regardless, the 2027 rookie class will undoubtedly change the entire landscape of fantasy football and the National Football League. With several elite talents at the top and a deep second-tier of running backs and pass-catchers, we’re all in store for an exciting college football season. Of course, be sure to follow us at Dynasty Nerds to keep up with all the news and notes on this all-important rookie class and the 2027 NFL Rookie Draft. Thanks for reading, Nerd Herd!
