We are at that point in the year where we are looking ahead to the NFL Draft and where the college prospects who have entered The Draft could land on draft night. Our own, TJ Wengert, recently put out his NFL Draft Mock V1, (for the article with video click here) and the staff here took that info and we did a mock for a 10 team, superflex league.

You will find every pick and then the reasoning for why the player was chosen. Hopefully this helps you plan for your fantasy team’s future as well as what to expect teams to potentially do come the actual NFL Draft.

Draft picks are based off of the results at the end of Week 16. A new NFL and Rookie Mock will be out in the next week based off of how the regular season finishes.

Round 1

1.01 Ashton Jeanty – Dallas Cowboys – Zach

• Picking Ashton Jeanty 1.01 needs no explanation. If he lands in Dallas, it needs even less explanation. The Cowboys need a running back more than anyone else in the league. Selecting the best one in the draft (as they intended to do last year before screwing that up) is a no-brainer for them and will give them a guy who can do what Zeke no longer could, and that’s to have an explosive play. Do not listen to the wild concerns about Jeanty’s performance in the Fiesta Bowl this last week, as he had no shot against a Penn State defense that absolutely dominated the Boise State offensive line. This guy is an absolute lethal weapon for an offense, and landing in Dallas is almost too perfect. 

1.02 Cam Ward – New York Giants – TJ

• QB options are limited, and Ward stands above the rest of this class. Athleticism won’t jump off the tape, but a strong arm, and willingness to throw from various arm slots certainly will. Additionally, Ward would step into an offense that already has a true WR1 in Malik Nabers, another impressive rookie in running back Tyrone Tracey Jr and when healthy, a cornerstone piece at left tackle with Andrew Thomas. Every rookie QB should come with a discussion of starting versus sitting to start the year, but given Ward’s five years of college experience, and the hot seats occupied (currently) by Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t start Week 1. 

1.03 Tetairoa McMillan – Tennessee Titans – Milo

• McMillan has a massive frame with very reliable hands and a surprising ability to make guys miss in space. I’m not the biggest fan of the quarterback situation in Tennessee, however, I do believe they will be in a good position to improve at the position in the next couple seasons. Whoever his quarterback may be, McMillan has the skill set to be an immediate reliable option receiving the majority of targets. Having Ridley present as a deep threat could help alleviate some of the pressure and double teams McMillan would typically face, giving him a better opportunity underneath and on the perimeter.

1.04 Shedeur Sanders – Las Vegas Raiders – Matt

• I like Sanders due to his accuracy and the fact he gets his receivers the ball with the opportunity for yards after the catch.  Him teaming up with Brock Bowers could make a great connection for Raiders and for fantasy football.  He takes sacks too regularly although this can be partially contributed to his offensive line but he still manages to put up numbers.  Resilience is key in the NFL as a young QB and this kid has the mindset to succeed when things get tough.

1.05 Luther Burden III – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – AR

• His stats this year weren’t eye popping, but the tape doesn’t lie – this guy is electric. A potential YAC king in the league? Sign me up. I love the 1.17 draft capital and the Bucs as a landing spot. With Baker slinging it and Godwin possibly on the way out, the path to early production is wide open.

1.06 Omarion Hampton – Cleveland Browns – Greg

• Hampton had a wonderful career at UNC, racking up 3,565 rushing yards in his 3 years, two of which he started. He lands in a favorable position to succeed as Nick Chubb heads towards the twilight of his career. He possesses a rare combination of agility and vision that should earn him a lot of touches in the NFL. He also gets Jalen Milroe as a teammate in the mock, who could open up extra holes for him with his elite running capabilities of his own.

1.07 Kaleb Johnson – Las Vegas Raiders – Zach

• The Raiders are about as gross of a landing spot as you can think of in terms of QB and overall offensive production. The opportunity, however, is immense, and Kaleb Johnson is the type of RB that could take advantage of that. It’s hard to know exactly what this team will look like in 8 months, but they should have a new HC, OC, and QB. While it’s tough to say if that offense will be good, it’s hard to get much worse as in 2024 they ranked 28th of 32 in tears of scoring, at least headed into the final week. Johnson has good size at 6 ft, 225lbs, led the Big Ten in rushing yds and rushing TDs, and while not a receiving specialist he has the tools to incorporate that more into his game at the next level. 

1.08 Tyler Warren – Indianapolis Colts – TJ

• The John Mackey award winner is going to be no lower than TE2 for most draft analysts and if you’ve watched Penn State this year, you know why. At 6’6, 257 lbs, Warren’s frame makes him a friendly target over the middle of the field, and he possesses more than enough athleticism to factor in the screen game, and to threaten defenses vertically. QB play in Indy has been inconsistent to say the least, and they already have a solid core of pass catchers, but Warren is a clear upgrade over the current tight ends on the roster and at the minimum, will serve as a good redzone weapon. Which at a thin position like tight end, that alone makes him a viable starter.

1.09 Emeka Egbuka – Houston Texans – Milo

• As much as I love Tank Dell, his durability worries me, especially on shorter routes and routes across the middle of the field where DBs can build up a head of steam. Egbuka, with a sturdy frame and excellent understanding of zone coverage, would fit perfectly in a role getting the majority of his targets across the middle of the field as well as with screens and other RAC opportunities mixed in. This is not to say Egbuka cannot be effective down the field, because he has and will continue to be, but with Nico and Tank’s abilities to take the top off the defense, he could become the target leader in that receiver room over the course of the season. 

1.10 Colston Loveland – Denver Broncos – Matt

• The fit here with Bo Nix and adding a tight end that can help him over the middle of the field would be a solid compliment to this offense.  Drafting Loveland also makes Trautman expendable as Loveland is an effective blocker that can line up wherever is needed on the field.  Add in his huge catch radius and ability to work the seam and you may see him as the third most targeted Bronco next year.

Round 2

2.01 Travis Hunter – New England Patriots – AR

• My head says don’t draft him—limited WR snaps and likely playing cornerback. But then you watch the tape. Travis Hunter is a 5 play player. You watch 5 plays and he’s just different. It reminds me of watching Malik Nabers last year – some guys jump off the screen. Pair Hunter’s WR playing time upside with Drake Maye, and the risk-reward in the 2nd round is too good to pass up.

2.02 Quinshon Judkins – Washington Commanders – Greg

• Judkins has performed well at the highest level of college football for 3 consecutive years. He is a balanced back who can run physical but can also forced missed tackles and maneuver through small gaps. This landing spot would be good for him as it will be a great offense for years to come. Brian Robinson would still be involved so he would not be a smash play right away but with his talent he will force a team to give him touches. He still produced well while sharing a backfield at Ohio State this year.

2.03 Elic Ayomanor – New York Giants – Zach

• I have no idea how these other schmucks let me get this guy at this spot. Particularly as he was drafted in TJ’s mock at #33, the first pick in round 2. While the Giants have a #1 in Malik Nabers already, nothing could be more friendly than having two go-to-guys for a rookie QB in Cam Ward (taken #1 overall by the Giants in the mock). Ayomanor gives me slight pause as the type of guy who likes to use his superior physicality to win, rather than pure technique, but opposite of Malik Nabers you need less of that than you otherwise would. I’d be hoping for a Jordan Addison playing Robin to Justin Jefferson’s Batman kind of situation in this scenario, and the Giants NEED more offensive help behind Nabers lest be turned into a limp teddy bear that the dog got ahold of and ripped to pieces.

2.04 Isaiah Bond – Dallas Cowboys – TJ

• The speed, acceleration and change of direction for Bond jumps off the tape immediately. He needs to be more consistent as a route runner, but his best reps will get your pumped up on what his potential is. Brandin Cooks is on an expiring contract, so Bond would have a clear pathway to the field. Not to mention, he’d have one of the league’s better QBs throwing to him in Dak Prescott, and Dallas has a WR1 with CeeDee Lamb, that week in and week out, is the focal point of opposing defense’s gameplan, putting Bond in plenty of favorable matchups.

2.05 Jayden Higgins – Denver Broncos – Milo

• Bo Nix has proven he loves to target his big receivers throughout the season with Sutton and Vele, and with Sutton turning 30 next season, the Broncos may start to look for a new leading receiver. Higgins has been effective from the slot as well as on the outside, which is unique for a player at 6 ft 4 in 210 lbs He is exactly the type of versatile weapon Sean Payton loves to implement in his gameplans. He excels crossing the field providing a very friendly target with reliable hands for his quarterback. While he may struggle creating separation vertically, he can compensate with a wide catch radius and excellent contested catch ability.

2.06 Savion Williams – Jacksonville Jaguars – Matt

• I like the fit here if for no other reason that Williams and Brian Thomas Jr may be the most exciting young wide receiver combo in the league.  Add that to a scenario Christian Kirk and Evan Engram may be gone and Gabe Davis being almost irrelevant and you have to be excited about his opportunity for targets.  He’s able to line up all over the formation and can turn any catch into a big play, that’s a good setup for fantasy success.

2.07 Jalen Milroe – Cleveland Browns – AR

• I like the landing spot in Cleveland. Sometimes you don’t need to overcomplicate it. It’s superflex. Milroe is a physical specimen. His rushing ability is ridiculous. Fans will be concerned about his ability in the pocket. But like clockwork – fans will see him destroy the combine and think “we can fix him”. Me, I’m fans.

2.08 Xavier Restrepo – Carolina Panthers – Greg

• Restrepo enjoyed a career year with Cam Ward this season at Miami. He is an exciting player who is a legit downfield threat averaging 16.5 yards per reception this year. He can help Bryce Young stretch the field immediately. Bryce has proven he can make deep passes at the pro level, now he gets another guy to help him accomplish that.

2.09 Mason Taylor – Seattle Seahawks – Zach

• This is a pure opportunity pick. Taylor doesn’t profile as an exceedingly explosive guy, and is more of a possession receiver. Landing with the Seahawks is a great opportunity as Noah Fant, AJ Barner, and Pharaoh Brown currently round out the active lineup. Rookie TEs rarely work out, historically, but the opportunity to grow into a role with Seattle is enough to warrant a selection at this spot in the draft, particularly if he does indeed get second round draft capital.

2.10 Jalen Royals – Las Vegas Raiders – TJ

• The Raiders pass catching corp is already one that feels like it needs reinforcements. Brock Bowers is awesome, and Jakobi Myers is a solid starting WR, after that though, it leaves a lot to be desired. Jalen Royals comes with solid size at 6’, 205 lbs and has the ability to generate some easy offense for Las Vegas. He’s a route runner that can win at all three levels and he brings juice as a YAC weapon. Of course we need to see what happens at QB and offensive coordinator, but considering this team is bottom five in the NFL in points per game, there’s not many places for this offense to go, but up.
