DLF Staff 2023 Superflex Rookie Mock Draft

With the 2023 NFL Combine in the rear-view and all of the related data and information fully analyzed, we got some of the DLF team together for a mock draft.

In this mock draft, I asked each staffer to include some short commentary about their picks, and included it with each selection.

Mock draft participants, in draft order, include:

• Nick Muzzillo
• Matt Price
• Shane Manila
• Tyler Joseph
• Andrew Francesconi
• John Hogue
• Dan Meylor
• Emerson Beery
• Ryan McDowell
• John Arrington
• Matt Hicks
• Mike Faiella

By the way, you might notice some new names there. We’ve recently added several new writers to our team. If you’re active on Twitter, be sure to give them a follow and look for their work to show up here soon.

ROUND ONE

1.01 Bijan Robinson, RB TEX

Nick says: It was extremely tempting to take a quarterback here, either CJ Stroud or Anthony Richardson, but I would only be doing that based off an eye-popping Combine workout for both of them. I don't want to overthink this, because the film will tell you that Bijan Robinson is a top-five player in this class and the best running back prospect we've seen since Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley. So, I will stick with my process and take the best overall player with my 1.01.
