Welcome to Monday Mocks, where I’ll bring you…you guessed it, a new mock draft every Monday during the off-season. In my opinion, drafting is the best part of fantasy football, so I do as much of that as I can. This series will be filled with all types of mocks. We’ll draft startups, rookies, devys, and more.
Not all mock drafts are the same. Recently, I was fortunate enough to host one final dynasty rookie mock draft with the “who’s who” of fantasy content creators. While we all recognize that rookie value will change later this week when players’ landing spots and draft capital are revealed, that’s part of the fun. It’s also important and interesting to recognize which players are gaining or losing value post-draft.
Let’s get to the field who participated in this superflex dynasty rookie mock draft, in the order they selected:
John Daigle, 4for4
Matthew Berry,
Ian Hartitz, Fantasy Life
Sigmund Bloom, Footballguys
Evan Silva, Establish the Run
Scott Barrett, Fantasy Points
JJ Zachariason, Late Round Fantasy Football
Mike Clay, ESPN
Danny Kelly, The Ringer
Mike Wright, Fantasy Footballers
Ryan McDowell, Dynasty League Football
Rich Hribar, Sharp Football
ROUND ONE
Former Texas running back Bijan Robinson has become one of the most locked-in 1.01 rookie picks of our generation. The only question remaining now is which team lands the do-it-all back on Thursday night. The latest speculation has Robinson hearing his name called somewhere inside the top-ten picks.

In the superflex format, it is very likely that a quarterback will come off the board with this second pick, but which one? Here, Berry opts for Florida’s Anthony Richardson, who brings the most questions among the top signal callers but also the highest upside. If you like to gamble, Richardson is your guys early in the first round.

1.03 – CJ Stroud, QB (HARTITZ)
The latest news and speculation surrounding former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud has not been good. Many mock drafters suggest he could be the odd man out, falling down the board in Round One. The recently released S2 testing results revealed Stroud was significantly below his fellow top quarterbacks, and that has been enough for some to doubt the ball placement specialist.
