2024 Off-Season Mock Drafts: Superflex Startup with Rookies
The more rookie mocks I do, the more I fall in love with this year's class from top to bottom. But, we can only do so many rookie mocks so it seems like a good time to see where the rookie class slots in among the veterans.
This was a 20-round, superflex, dynasty startup draft, and I had the tenth pick and was coming back with the third pick in the even rounds. I rarely, if ever, select rookies in startup drafts, and despite my professed love of the 2024 class, I stuck to my guns here and did not draft any. That has been my strategy for years, as I always thought there were too many unknowns to waste a pick on a rookie when you've got veterans (who sometimes are younger than rookies) with established roles you can put on your rosters.
Enough about me and my strategies; let's look at the draft.
Rounds 1-4
The draft began like all superflex drafts: with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. They were followed by five more quarterbacks, giving us a seven-quarterback start, with eight of the first nine picks being signal-callers, including rookie Caleb Williams at 1.09. This was a heavy QB start, and with my 1.10 pick on the clock, I went a different direction and grabbed Ja'Marr Chase, who I consider to be the dynasty WR1.
