![]() ![]() Though I don’t see Etienne as the caliber running back Najee Harris is, make no mistake tEtienne is a 3 down back in the NFL and is a threat to break it at any time. Smith is definitely one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft class and with Ja’Marr Chase off the board at 1.07 this is a steal to me.Īt 1.08, I felt like getting the RB2 from this class was an absolute steal. ![]() 1.07: DeVonta Smith (WR) – AlabamaĪs the first wide receiver since 1991 to win the Heisman Trophy, Smith is sitting pretty at 105 receptions for 1,641 yards and 20 touchdowns through the air for 2020. Bateman has the speed and ability to make catches in traffic to translate to an NFL receiver, making him my number two receiver in the draft and an easy grab at 1.06. However, if you look back to 2019, Bateman’s sophomore season with the Gophers, he amassed 1219 yards and 11 touchdowns on 60 catches. In those 5, Bateman managed 36 catches for 472 yards and two touchdowns. With a COVID shortened season, Bateman only saw the field for 5 contests with Minnesota. The idea of taking Travis Etienne was tantalizing given his likely ability to be a plug-in option Week 1, but I prefer Pitts’s long-term prospects. At 6’6” and 240 pounds with great speed and a monstrous catch radius, Kyle Pitts seems to fit the prototype as the NFL’s next elite tight end. Having a top tight end has become almost mandatory as the elite tier has given between a 5.4 and 8.6 point weekly advantage over the last five years. I can certainly understand taking Kyle Pitts at 1.05 is a reach even in a mock draft, but after the positional scarcity we saw at tight end throughout the 2020 season I want to make sure I’m locking in a top option for years to come. No brainer for me to pick the best player left on the board. Chase was so good he won the Fred Biletnikoff award as the best receiver in college football. Starting for LSU in 2019 Chase had 84 catches for 1780 yards and an SEC record 20 touchdowns. Why not select the best wide receiver in this class who will come in and have an impact right away. With the top quarterbacks off the board and the best running back the choice was easy. Stay tuned for future mocks as the offseason progresses. Standing 6’2” – 230, Harris is a foundational dynasty running back who profiles to be the most fluid pass catching power back the NFL has seen since Steven Jackson.Įditors Note: The NFL Draft and Free Agency can potentially shake up rookie drafts. But at this moment, Harris is the best runner in the class, putting up a whopping 1,387 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2020. The only reason not to put Harris as RB1 in my opinion is his draft day age of 23: which belies a later breakout and shortened shelf life. However, I will select Najee Harris in this mock as the Alabama product, who is likely to hear his name called early in April’s draft, presents the highest floor option at the position. 1.03: Najee Harris (RB) – ALAīy a razor’s edge my RB1 in this class is currently North Carolina’s Javonte Williams, and if I was on the clock at the 1.03 I would first look to trade back. If I traded for this pick and my team is set, I am more than happy to snag Fields at 1.02 so I can trade Fields for any of the remaining rookies and a 2022 first round pick - or replacing a rookie with a player of similar value like: D’Andre Swift, D.J. Quarterbacks are the cheapest during the draft.ĭrafting at the 1.02 will mean my team is not a contender, in a SuperFlex league, I am happy to snag Fields and bolster the quarterback group. True or not, Fields is extremely talented and I am happy to snag him at the 1.02. Justin Fields is QB2 and there are people who believe him to be QB1. Quarterbacks in SuperFlex are extremely valuable. for the foreseeable future makes him a foundational piece for any dynasty roster. ![]() Chark, Collin Johnson and Laviska Shenault Jr. The prospect of Lawrence having Wide Receivers D.J. Given Jacksonville Jaguars have locked up the number one overall pick and are presumably taking Lawrence with said pick, his stock is as high as it’s ever been. However, in a SuperFlex league I simply can’t have enough quarterbacks, especially of the talent level of Lawrence. The only justifications for not taking Lawrence at 1.01 would be team structure and landing spot. Lawrence enters the NFL having never posted a lower completion percentage than 65.2 and threw 90 touchdowns to 17 interceptions over the last three seasons. At 6’6 and 220 pounds with good mobility and elite arm talent, Trevor Lawrence is the perfect prototype and projects to be an elite NFL quarterback. Not since Andrew Luck has there been an easier pick at the 1.01 in SupeFlex formats. ![]()
