2024 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Mock Draft: November Edition
We’re nearing the end of the college football season, as the calendar has flipped to November. Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, and not only do we look forward to all the good eating, but this year’s Michigan-Ohio State matchup should give us even more filling as both teams are heading towards a game between unbeatens.
If you haven’t already been following this series, now is the time to do so. There’s been a lot of moving amongst this class with players falling, some rising, and some more than likely going back to school. The 2024 draft class will start to take shape as early this week, with Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl invites expected to pick up. Stay here, and make sure to follow me, as I will cover which players you should keep an eye on those weeks from a dynasty football perspective. With the news coming out this week that now juniors/underclassmen are eligible to play beginning this year, it’s going to create a whole new look for both games.
It’ll be exciting. Can’t wait.
This is the third version of the dynasty 2024 rookie mock draft based on a 12-team, PPR, superflex format. I will have one more next month prior to the start of bowl games, after which draft declares will commence and we will have a better understanding of this class.
Draft season is right around the corner, folks. Get ready!
1.01 – Caleb Williams, QB, USC
I will be honest, I thought long and hard about dropping Williams here – which I thought I’d never even consider. But after the last three games, and some of the struggles he’s had midseason, I considered moving Drake Maye to the top spot. However, that would have meant moving Marvin Harrison Jr down to about 1.03, which would not have made sense. I think Harrison Jr is arguably the best overall prospect in this class, but the value of an elite quarterback in the dynasty format gives you such a powerful edge each week that Williams still remains the 2024 1.01 in superflex formats… for now.
There is a real possibility this could be Maye in the near future.
1.02 – Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Ohio State
Over his last five games, Harrison Jr has accrued 35 receptions and caught seven touchdowns – an average line of 7-116-1. My goodness.
Nothing else really needs to be said here. The word “generational” does not get thrown around very often, but Harrison Jr continues to make his case. He is a cornerstone player and the perfect foundational piece to build around.
1.03 – Drake Maye, QB North Carolina
We’re back on this pendulum swing now. Harrison Jr leapfrogs one spot of Maye, jumping back into the 1.02 and knocking Maye down one slot to 1.03. The Tar Heels dropped two in a row to Virginia and Georgia Tech, crushing their hopes of another ACC title appearance. Both teams also were able to slow down Maye and not allow him to pick them apart. Despite the disappointment, Maye is still a top-three overall rookie pick next year, but I do think the fluctuation between him and Harrison Jr after 1.01 will carry well into next spring.
1.04 – Malik Nabers, WR LSU
Nabers continues his steady rise up the rookie ranks, moving up another two slots from the 1.06 and into the top-five conversation. He is the nation’s leading receiver and has been dominant for the Tigers this season. The discussion between him and Keon Coleman for WR2 in this year’s draft will be fascinating, but right now, I give a slight edge to Nabers.
1.05 – Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Bowers was humming along by midseason until a high ankle sprain halted his season and underwent tightrope surgery two days later. Bowers returned this week against Ole Miss, missing only two games, and didn’t skip a beat. He found the end zone again and should remain on the field barring another injury to help the Bulldogs in their quest for a three-peat. Bowers is such an easy evaluation, and I really hope draft media and draft Twitter (or draft X?) do not overthink Bowers as anything less than an elite prospect during the evaluation process. He is going to be a star when he steps on an NFL field in year one.
1.06 – Keon Coleman, WR Florida State
Coleman has lived up to the hype as an impact transfer from Michigan State. He has slowed a bit from his hot start to the season. Despite the lull, everything he has displayed on tape will translate to the NFL. Size, speed, play strength, and ability to attack the football at its highest point. According to Pro Football Focus, Coleman has 24 contested catch targets and has caught nine of them for a 38% contested catch percentage. Seminoles quarterback Jordan Travis has a 116.7 passer rating when he targets Coleman downfield. Coleman coming in at the 1.06 is where I can see his ceiling as a first-round rookie pick.
1.07 – Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State
It’s been a bumpy road for Egbuka this season. He’s had a significant drop off in production after eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark last season, but has also struggled to stay healthy this year. He returned to the lineup against Rutgers after missing three games catching four passes. Despite the dip in production for Egbuka, he should still be considered one of the top receivers in this class. I expect Egbuka to come off the board on day one.
1.08 – Rome Odunze, WR Washington
It’s possible that no one has helped himself more than Odunze has this season. He was an exciting prospect this summer, and I included him as part of my devy summer scouting series for wide receivers as a player to watch this season. My hunch about him appears to have hit, as Odunze has gone from a solid early day two pick to a potentially top-25 prospect in April. He has been the best target for Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr, and, with some luck going their way, can put themselves in position for a playoff berth in December. He is deserving of this selection at 1.08.
1.09 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State
Henderson had bounced back from his injury-plagued 2022 season, but got dinged up in late September against Notre Dame and then proceeded to miss the next three games. He returned against Wisconsin in week nine, rushing for 162 yards and one touchdown. He built off that with a 128-yard and one-touchdown performance the following week against Rutgers and found the end zone again in their blowout of Michigan State. Henderson has built momentum to an early-round valuation amongst the running back class. If he continues at this pace, he will make his case as the potential 2024 RB1.
1.10 – Blake Corum, RB Michigan
Corum falls one slot down from our midseason mock, but I don’t believe anything has changed in his circumstance or situation to remove him as a first-round rookie pick. I’m sure some will disagree with leaving off another quarterback here such as Michael Penix, Jr, but I believe that would be a reach. As exciting as the Huskies are as a football team, and as entertaining as it is to watch Penix drill 60-yard deep shots, there are areas of the quarterback position as a whole that he lacks and will need to develop in the NFL. It would be a huge reach to take Penix on day one and turn the keys over to someone who’s not entirely ready yet. Also, I believe Corum to be a better player, and I’d rather take the safer option here than risky, high-ceiling.
1.11 – Bo Nix, QB Oregon
If you have followed me throughout this summer, and this season, you know that I have been much lower than consensus on Nix. However, I always remain objective and trust what my eyes and gut tell me – and right now, they’re saying that Nix is playing as one of the best signal callers in college football. He has a 25:2 touchdown to interception ratio and is building his resume as a first-round pick. I have not gone in-depth just yet on Nix to determine that evaluation. I will come draft time, but I have to consider him here based on his production this season.
1.12 – JJ McCarthy, QB Michigan
I have mentioned this before, but after Williams and Maye, the discussion of QB3 is open-ended. For me, it’s been centered around Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and McCarthy – who has risen into rookie first-round pick consideration. I am not quite there yet with coming around to McCarthy as an early-round pick let alone a potential day-one selection. However, the conversation for who falls behind Williams and Maye remains uncertain and the positional value is why McCarthy sneaks in as the 1.12.
