Monday Mocks: Superflex Devy Mock Draft
![Monday mocks: superflex devy mock draft 1 mondaymocks](https://dynastyleaguefootball.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/MONDAYMOCKS.jpg)
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.
The majority of dynasty managers have been focusing their attention on the incoming rookie class, with a short recent break to track the free agent class. Some die-hards though have been taking a deeper look, playing in devy leagues and are focused on current (and even incoming) college players.
I gathered a group of devy and college football experts to participate in this 14 team superflex devy mock draft. Any college player expected to play in the 2023 season was eligible to be selected.
Mock drafters, in draft order, include:
- John Arrington, Dynasty League Football
- Andrew Francesconi, Dynasty League Football
- Kane Fossell, Devy Marketplace
- Jay Stein, Footballguys
- Kevin Coleman, Footballguys
- Rob Willette, Dynasty League Football
- Travis May, Mojo
- Bruce Matson, Dynasty League Football
- Felix Sharpe, Campus2Canton
- Nick Muzzillo, Dynasty League Football
- Michael Nelson, Dynasty League Football
- Brandon Lejeune, Devy to Dynasty
- Shane Hallam, Dynasty League Football
- Tyler Joseph, Dynasty League Football
ROUND ONE
1.01 Caleb Williams, QB USC
While it remains unclear which quarterback will be selected as the top pick next month, reigning Heisman winner Caleb Williams is already being penciled in as the leading man for the 2024 NFL Draft. Williams’ transfer from Oklahoma to USC paid off in a major way. John noted that Williams has all the tools we’re looking for, pairing great size and speed with an accurate arm. He’s the clear top pick in the devy superflex format.
1.02 Marvin Harrison, Jr., WR Ohio State
After a quiet freshman season, receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr. enjoyed a huge breakout season for the Buckeyes, totaling over 1,100 yards and 12 scores. Like teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Harrison has emerged as one of the top receivers and most-valuable devy assets after a huge second season. Hopefully, Harrison can avoid the injuries that troubled Smith-Njigba this past season.
1.03 Drake Maye, QB North Carolina
If any quarterback can challenge Williams to be the QB1 (and 2024 1.01) it’s Tar Heels quarterback Drake Maye. After sitting most of the 2021 season behind Sam Howell, Maye claimed the starting job and threw for over 4,000 yards to go along with 34 scores. He also showed off his wheels, rushing for 833 yards.
1.04 TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State
A five-star recruit, TreVeyon Henderson enjoyed a dominant true freshman season for the Buckeyes, before struggling with injuries last season. That missed time cost Henderson some value but the talent and upside remain. Jay mentions that Henderson has the size, athleticism, and pass-catching ability to make a successful NFL running back.
1.05 Raheim Sanders, RB Arkansas
Coming off a huge season with just under 1,700 yards from scrimmage, Raheim Sanders has rocketed up the boards, ranking as the RB1 in our current devy rankings. Kevin mentioned that Sanders proved last season that he could be a three-down back and future bell-cow in the NFL. While Sanders showed improvement as a receiver last season, he still has room to grow in that area.
1.06 Nicholas Singleton, RB Penn State
The first player from the class of 2025 is Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton, who rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored a dozen times as a freshman. He was the top-ranked back in his recruiting class and is the favorite to hold that spot over the next two seasons.
1.07 Braelon Allen, RB Wisconsin
After a strong freshman season, including over 1,200 yards and 12 scores, Braelon Allen held the devy RB1 spot to himself. 2022 was a disaster for the Badgers and Allen struggled along with the entire offense. Allen has not been a factor in the passing game through two years and this has cost him devy value. Travis noted the changes to the Wisconsin coaching staff and the offensive scheme could allow Allen to bounce back and regain some of that value.
1.08 Brock Bowers, TE Georgia
While the current incoming tight end class has the depth to make a major impact on the dynasty landscape, next year includes superstar Brock Bowers, who could ultimately land inside the top ten overall. Bowers has eclipsed 700 receiving yards in each of the first two seasons and earned the 2022 John Mackey Award.
1.09 Donovan Edwards, RB Michigan
After a successful 2022 season and an unfortunate late-season injury, Blake Corum returned to Michigan’s backfield for next season. This hurts the prospects for Donovan Edwards, but not enough to fall out of the first round. Felix calls Edwards a true dual threat who can be used in the vertical passing game when schemed. Expect Edwards to be the next back to draw comparisons to Alvin Kamara.
1.10 Xavier Worthy, WR Texas
A diminutive wide receiver, weighing in at just 163 pounds, Xavier Worthy struggled through a disappointing 2022 season. Worthy’s numbers dropped from his true freshman breakout, finishing his second season with 673 yards and eight touchdown catches. With two potential future NFL quarterbacks now on the roster, expectations are Worthy bounces back in 2023.
1.11 Quinshon Judkins, RB Mississippi
When Mississippi lured running back Zach Evans from TCU, it appeared they has found the missing piece of their high-powered offense. While Evans had a solid one year for the Rebels, it was freshman Quinshon Judkins who looked like the best back on the roster. Just a three-star recruit, Judkins racked up over 1,500 rushing yards and 16 scores. With Lane Kiffin sticking around, expect more big-time numbers over the next two seasons for Judkins.
1.12 Emeka Egbuka, WR Ohio State
While Harrison has garnered most of the attention, Emeka Egbuka has created a solid profile for himself as well. Like Harrison, Egbuka took a big step during his sophomore season, totaling over 1,100 yards and hauling in ten touchdowns. While Harrison will continue to get all the hype, Egbuka has a good chance to also be a first-round NFL Draft pick next year.
1.13 Kaytron Allen, RB Penn State
Much like Egbuka, running back Kaytron Allen was overshadowed by his teammate. While Singleton led the way with yards and touchdowns, it was actually Allen, also a true freshman last season, who earned more carries. Allen’s value could continue to be difficult to gauge throughout his college career playing alongside Singleton, but this should only make him a value. In fact, Shane suggested Allen could be the higher-drafted Penn State back come the 2025 NFL Draft.
1.14 Luther Burden, WR Missouri
The first 2025 wideout drafted is Missouri’s Luther Burden. The true freshman led the Tigers with six touchdowns to go along with his 45 receptions for 375 yards. Those are meager numbers for a player drafted this highly, but Burden entered school as one of the top-ranked recruits, and Missouri’s offense, while improving, held back the potential star. Tyler noted that Burden was electric with the ball in his hands, and possesses good long speed and near-elite agility.
ROUND TWO
2.01 Branson Robinson, RB Georgia
2.02 Malachi Nelson, QB USC
2.03 Malik Nabers, WR LSU
2.04 Evan Stewart, WR Texas A&M
2.05 Arch Manning, QB Texas
2.06 Dante Moore, QB UCLA
2.07 Cade Klubnik, QB Clemson
2.08 Will Shipley, RB Clemson
2.09 Troy Franklin, WR Oregon
2.10 Drew Allar, QB Penn State
2.11 Cedric Baxter, RB Texas
2.12 Quinn Ewers, QB Texas
2.13 Jalen Milroe, QB Alabama
2.14 Zachariah Branch, WR USC
