I personally have him at 1.03 in this draft as his profile tells me he will dominate. He is off the charts in every production metric and will likely have the draft capital to back it up. Baker Mayfield represents everything I look for in a high rookie draft pick. Other considerations: Ronald Jones, Sony MichelĪuthor’s note: Love this pick. Seeing as I rank Baker Mayfield as one of the best QB prospects in the last decade it felt irresponsible to take a 2nd tier RB over the #1 QB. 1.05 – Baker Mayfield, QB Analyst: Miguel Chapeton the top tier RB’s off the board it came down to Ronald Jones, Sony Michel or Baker Mayfield.
If he goes in round 4 or later I would be more inclined to wait on him and take him near the end of the first round. If he is selected in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft there is a lot to like here. Moore at 1.04.Īuthor’s note: The only question for me with Rashaad Penny is where will he be drafted. Other consideration: Baker Mayfield, Ronald Jones II, and D.J. Penny has one of the most impressive college rushing resumes of all time, and has displayed the ability to catch passes (42 catches, 479 yards, 6 TDs) over the course of his last three seasons. 1.04 – Rashaad Penny, RB Analyst: Eric Lindberg drafted Rashaad Penny at 1.04 because the two running backs I had ranked above him, Barkley and Guice, were unsurprisingly and deservedly drafted at 1.01 and 1.02. Therefore, I believe he is a safe selection anywhere starting from 1.03.
Therefore, Nick Chubb checks all the boxes. Did not consider WR this early.Įditors note: I believe he will be drafted within the first two rounds giving him draft capital, he will light up the combine, and his 47th-percentile College Dominator can be explained based on having another top RB prospect on his team in Sony Michel. Special mix of quickness, strength and burst. 1.03 – Nick Chubb, RB Analyst: Frank Gruber is my BPA after the Barkley/Guice tier. Nevertheless, I would draft him at 1.02 and consider any receptions to be a bonus. He wasn’t involved much in the passing game but there are a great many film grinders that say he has the traits to be a 3-down back. However, once Baker Mayfield is drafted I might like him as high as second in a superflex league.Īuthor’s note: Derrius Guice might just be the best LSU running back in the past two years. 1.02 – Derrius Guice, RB Analyst: Eric McClung took Derrius Guice second because that’s the best thing to do when Barkley goes first in these drafts right now. Also, that stat does not indicate good things for the wide receiver class. Brown in 2017!Īuthor’s note: The most interesting thing about this pick is the fun fact. Just to further reinforce his herculean status, here is an interesting fun fact: Saquon Barkley had more receptions and receiving yards than Auden Tate or Equanimeous St. Furthermore, his ceiling is as high as any prospect since LaDainian Tomlinson. Barkley’s floor, in a fantasy context, will be the highest of any rookie based purely on volume. In the return game, he managed 426 yards and 2 touchdowns in his final season. One of the only things I don’t hear very often about him is his production in the kick return game. An argument to take anyone other than Barkley at 1.01 would be an extremely bold move. 1.01 – Saquan Barkley, RB Analyst: Kyle Dvorchak We’ve all heard enough Saquon Barkley analysis.
Without further adieu, here are the results of our writers rookie mock draft with PPR superflex league parameters. I will rarely draft based on draft pedigree unless I feel there are no other choices that fit my draft strategy. If I have a bad team I am looking for floor as I am just trying to stockpile fantasy relevant players. Therefore, I am looking for more ceiling than floor because I can afford to miss on the pick. For example, if I am picking late it is because I have a good team. If there isn’t a clear winner, I will normally pick the one that fits my current situation. As we move towards the middle and the end of the draft, I pick the next best combination of all 3 parameters: floor, ceiling, and draft pedigree. Typically at the top of the draft, I look for players that have all 3 characteristics. I look at college production as a floor, athleticism as a ceiling, and draft capital as trade value. Draft Strategyīefore we get into the picks, it is essential to grasp my draft strategy’s criteria.
