Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Jonathon Brooks, Xavier Legette, Trey Benson, Ricky Pearsall

The 2024 NFL Draft is only a few weeks away. It’s a perfect time to prepare using our free dynasty mock draft simulator. Here is a 12-team, superflex, half-point PPR dynasty rookie mock draft. We’ll dive into a few notable picks from that recent mock draft.

2024 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Pick 2.05 – Jonathon Brooks (RB – Texas)

Unfortunately, the fantasy football community got spoiled with the past two running back draft classes. There likely will not be a running back worthy of a first-round rookie draft pick for the first time in years. Yet, Brooks has the best case to be a first-round rookie pick despite coming off a torn ACL if he lands in an appealing situation. I would love to see him land with the Dallas Cowboys as a second-round NFL Draft pick. After losing Tony Pollard in free agency, the Cowboys have no starting-caliber running back on the roster.

Pick 2.06 – Xavier Legette (WR – South Carolina)

The former South Carolina star had a breakout 2023 season, totaling 71 receptions for 1,255 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. By comparison, Legette had 42 receptions for 423 receiving yards and five touchdowns over the first four years of his college career. While some are worried he was a one-year wonder, Legette will likely be a top-40 NFL Draft pick. He ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the same as Anthony Gould but at 47 pounds heavier.

Pick 2.07 – Trey Benson (RB – Florida State)

Benson had an impressive performance at the NFL Combine. He ran a 4.39 40-yard dash, the third fastest among running backs, at 216 pounds. The former Florida State star had back-to-back seasons with over 900 rushing yards and at least nine touchdowns to end his college career. Many believe Benson and Jonathon Brooks are in a two-man race to be the first running back picked in the NFL Draft and selected in rookie drafts. Therefore, it makes sense that they are near back-to-back picks in this mock.

Pick 2.08 – Ricky Pearsall (WR – Florida)

This year’s draft class is so full of talented wide receivers that Pearsall is the WR11 off the board in this mock draft simulation. The former Florida star’s draft stock has risen after a strong performance at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. Pearsall is an impressive route runner with the ability to create separation. While he isn’t a burner, the former Gator ran a solid 4.41 40-yard dash in Indianapolis. Pearsall might not turn into a fantasy star, but he should have meaningful fantasy value at the next level.
