2024 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft
With six weeks now behind us, there’s been a lot of fluctuation amongst the top prospects in college football. A few of them were not even on my radar as potential 2024 declares or included in my early season look at this class.
But as the old saying goes, that’s why they play the games.
The performances in those games have now forced my hand to make some midseason changes in my second edition of this 2024 dynasty superflex rookie mock draft.
So, without further ado, let’s look at how much of this class has changed after six weeks.
1.01 – Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Not much changes here with Caleb. He’s still the unquestioned 1.01 of this class and has done nothing to move off him here with his 21:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He’s picked up right where he left off during his Heisman campaign, which is exactly what you would want to see from him. I don’t expect anything to change with his positioning from now all the way through draft weekend.
1.02 – Drake Maye, QB North Carolina
In my early-season mock, I had mentioned that the fluctuation would begin at this slot, and now it has. The see-saw has tilted here with Drake Maye now moving up one slot to the 1.02. Like Williams, Maye has continued to develop and looks even better from last year. His arm looks stronger and appears to have added even more zip/velocity to his ball, as evident below in this 60-yard dime downfield that he dropped right in the bucket. I don’t see there being a QB1-QB2 in this class. By the time draft season rolls around, you can make the argument that it’s QB1A and QB1B, and then have a discussion about QB3 and on.
1.03 – Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Ohio State
The best wide receiver in college football, MHJ has gotten off to a rather slower start by his standards, but that will not change his projection and future outlook at the NFL. He is arguably the best prospect at the position we’ve ever seen and is going to be a day-one starter and WR1 the moment he steps on an NFL field next year.
1.04 – Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
The last three weeks were another reminder of Bowers’ freakishness. He has been the best player on the field for either team and continues to plant his stamp as an early day-one pick. If you missed out on Sam LaPorta this year, don’t worry… make sure to prioritize Bowers in rookie drafts. He’s going to be a dynasty top 5 tight end next year.
1.05 – Shedeur Sanders, QB Colorado
Here’s where things begin to change. Sanders enters the top five after an impressive start as the Buffaloes’ starting quarterback showing he can compete with the best at the FBS level. He has been a star in college football, but has also shown he is really good at playing the position. He has a high football IQ and also a strong arm to make every throw. Sanders has been fun to watch, and it’s been great to see him and hall of fame father Deion (also the head coach) bring relevance back to a once-storied program of the 1990s in Colorado.
Shedeur is a draft-eligible underclassman, so it is more than likely he decides to come back for another year, be in contention for the Heisman Trophy, and be ranked as one of the top players in the country and 2025 draft class.
1.06 – Malik Nabers, WR LSU
Moving up two spots is Nabers, who has played his way as the 2024 WR2 behind only MHJ. Nabers has been dynamic for the Tigers and by far their best offensive player on the field. He has dominated in every game making highlight reel catches each week. He currently ranks second in receiving (behind only 2025-eligible Luther Burden III) and finished with yet another 100-yard performance last Saturday. He is without a doubt a day-one prospect next April and a day-one starter.
1.07 – Quinn Ewers, QB Texas
Ewers moves up four spots from the 1.11 to the 1.07 and a mid-first round pick. It is well deserved, as Ewers has taken a step from last year after his first year as a full-time starter for Texas. Ewers has gotten the Longhorns off to a hot start and has brought the blue-blood program back to the top of college football this year. Losing to Oklahoma last Saturday though, and throwing two interceptions, still leaves some unanswered questions. He is still not a polished prospect and it is possible he could also return for another year. More development under head coach Steve Sarkisian certainly won’t hurt.
1.08 – Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State
Egbuka quietly has had a solid start to the 2023 campaign after the quarterback transition from CJ Stroud. He has been a reliable target for the Buckeyes’ offense and continues to establish himself as one of the top players in the 2024 draft. Both he and Harrison are going to be day-one starters next year.
1.09 – Keon Coleman, WR Florida State
Another new addition to this first round mock, Coleman has lived up to the hype for the Seminoles. Coleman came to Tallahassee with a lot of fanfare and expectations and has been a huge part of the Seminoles’ success on offense this season. He has been the alpha receiver for Florida State, ripping off three touchdowns in Week one against LSU. His walk-off game-winning touchdown against Clemson shows the kind of impact he can make week to week. Coleman may find his way as a top five prospect at wide receiver come draft season.
1.10 – Blake Corum, RB, Michigan
Corum remains the 1.10 selection in this midseason mock. He is tied for the lead in rushing touchdowns in the nation (9) and has averaged 5.7 yards per rush through six games. Most importantly, he has stayed healthy and continues to prove why he should be in consideration for the RB1 of the 2024 class. Corum has been a huge factor in the Wolverines’ 6-0 start and will continue to play a significant role in Michigan’s quest for another college football playoff appearance.
1.11 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State
The Ohio State product just missed the cut in our early season mock but has performed to his 2021 standards and now looks healthy. Henderson appears to have that burst and explosiveness he had during his freshman year and reeled off some long runs that have turned into impact plays. Henderson has averaged 6.7 yards per rush and has taken pressure off of first-year starting quarterback Kyle McCord to be a reliable piece he can trust. Henderson has been a consensus top running back on most draft big boards and a favorite of many dynasty analysts.
1.12 – Rome Odunze, WR Washington
Odunze cracks the first round as the 1.12 and deservedly so. He has been the best receiver for an explosive Huskies’ offense and is third in the nation in receiving. What is not to love about Odunze with his size/strength profile? He is a big-bodied target for quarterback Michael Penix over the middle of the field but has also flashed his vertical and contested catch ability downfield to create explosive plays. Odunze is not a speedster by any means, but his play speed and versatile skill set are top-notch.
