Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex, TE-Premium (2024 Fantasy Football)

While most rookie drafts have probably already occurred, some leagues draft late. My longest-running friends league just wrapped up last week, and I’ve heard of others that wait until August. That said, let’s take a look at where the rookies are going in another mock dynasty rookie draft. Make sure to use our FREE fantasy football mock draft simulator for your mock draft needs.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft

Mock Draft Settings

For this mock draft, I’m going to do a PPR Superflex, TE-premium draft as if I’d lost the title game last year. This means I earned the 1.11 pick and was only slightly away from winning the title.

Being that it’s Superflex, I fully expect at least four or five QBs to be gone by my pick in the first. Being that it’s TE-premium, I expect Brock Bowers to be gone, too. Your league’s settings will dictate a lot of how the first round goes, but this is what we’re going with for this mock draft.

First Round

As predicted, QBs are selected in four of the first five picks. The top three WRs and Bowers are also all gone, but two more QBs go at 1.09 and 1.10 in Bo Nix and Michael Penix. This means six QBs have gone off the board already. That seems a little early but no two leagues are the same. People will reach or select players out of order sometimes, so it’s always good to practice in those situations.

This leaves me with a variety of WR options and all of the RBs left at 1.11. The experts are telling me to take Xavier Worthy but I’m not so sure. I don’t think my team build matters much, but if I was this close to winning, I want to add someone who could help me win next year. I don’t hate project players, but as the runner-up, I assume I will contend again next year.

This means I will take the RB1 in the class in Jonathon Brooks to bolster my RB room. I think he’ll be a good fit this year and get his share of opportunities to produce. Running back is the one position of the four that can easily help immediately, and I think Brooks is the real deal. Welcome to the mock squad, good sir.

Second Round

Worthy went three picks later after Ladd McConkey and Brian Thomas Jr. All of these tier-two receivers are about the same to me, so I don’t mind it. They all have plenty of talent, but their opportunities are what we don’t know yet. Seven more WRs go before my pick at 2.11, along with only one other RB in Trey Benson. This is surprising but I love it.

I specifically set up this mock draft to only have two RBs and two WRs in the starting lineup to balance them out. Even in PPR, a lot of mocks will give a boost to the receivers and lower the running backs. This one seems to be doing the same.

I’m looking at a lot of RB options here, and the experts recommend Blake Corum. As a late second-round pick I don’t hate it, so I take him as my second player. He’s got plenty of talent and should be able to see the field from time to time in L.A. where he’ll be behind Kyren Williams. Again, as a contender, I’m very happy with this start.

Third Round

We see the seventh QB go off at 2.12 in Spencer Rattler along with three more tight ends. Five RBs and two receivers fill out the 11 picks between my Corum pick and this one. The WR run earlier led to value drops in the third, but now we’re back to reality.

I was hoping Jermaine Burton or Theo Johnson would fall to me at 3.11 but both were gone. There’s still some talent left, though. The experts recommend Malachi Corley and I don’t hate it. I already have two solid RBs on my roster, so diversifying might be the move.

The other options don’t wow me, so I go with Corley. That Jets offense should look a lot better if Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy this year. He’ll play behind Garrett Wilson and newly-added WR Mike Williams, but he should get a shot at touches.

Fourth Round

At this stage of the draft there are no wrong decisions. You’re selecting the 47th rookie at the 4.11, so it’s honestly just a dart throw. I prefer to use my later picks on upside guys rather than safer options. If they bust they bust, but if they hit I want to have the option for the biggest hit possible.

I’m staring down guys like Jacob Cowing and Dylan Laube, who don’t wow me much. I was hoping Joe Milton (QB – NE) would be available but he went at 4.05. Taking QBs late in Superflex leagues is something I love doing. That being said, there aren’t many left here for me to pick from.

The experts recommend Devontez Walker, who I don’t hate, but the Ravens aren’t exactly a team I expect to produce a lot in the receiving game behind Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers. What they want to do is run the ball, so instead, I select Rasheen Ali. He’ll start the season behind new starter Derrick Henry and a few other veterans, but if he hits, it’ll be worth it. If he doesn’t, I can drop him for another rookie who is taking off instead.

Final Thoughts

I selected three running backs and a receiver in a PPR Superflex, TE-premium league. At the 11th spot, that’s exactly what I would expect, and I’m very happy with the results. I think all of my guys have a chance to stand out in Year 1 and push me over the edge to take down the title next year. In addition to that, they all have long-term upside. This is how rookie drafts should be done.
