I recently participated in a 12-team, 1QB mock draft. Once we had the results, I wrote my first Off-Season Mock Draft article of the year looking at the results. The very early mocks can be wildly different, as MFL doesn’t have any ADP yet, and that is what we are building with these mocks. So, sometimes, certain players fall through the cracks a bit from time to time. I was able to jump into a second January mock draft and wanted to see if we had any significant differences between the two drafts. Often, these wild variances are mistakes; other times, it’s just a function of different groups of owners drafting together, and some players are viewed as more or less valuable in some circles than others. Let’s see what I found.
The first mock saw five running backs selected in the first two rounds. Bijan Robinson (1.06), Jahmyr Gibbs (1.09), Breece Hall (2.03), De'Von Achane (2.07), and Saquon Barkley (2.11). In the second mock, there were six taken: Robinson (1.09), Gibbs (1.11), Jonathan Taylor (2.01), Achane (2.04), Hall (2.11), and Barkley (2.12). More or less, it was the same, with the exception of Taylor nearly squeezing into the first round of the second draft.
Both drafts saw Brock Bowers and Trey McBride go in the top 21, with Bowers selected 1.10 and 2.01 and McBride going 2.02 and 2.09. They are the clear top two at the position, and it is by a pretty wide margin.
