Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: Superflex

1.04 – Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)

We’ve gone from running quarterbacks being a cheat code to rushing being a near necessity for successful fantasy quarterbacks. Jayden Daniels has that box checked, but how real was his breakout passing the ball last season? You could certainly argue Daniels should be ahead of the wide receivers, but the receivers are special, and Daniels still has questions to answer surrounding his arm talent. The LSU offense was loaded with weaponry and Daniels was unable to showcase his arm in previous seasons. I imagine we will see plenty of ups and downs from the rookie Commander, but the ups will be sky-high.

1.05 – Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)

It’s a tough break to miss out on Harrison and Nabers, but Rome Odunze is about as good of a consolation prize as it gets. The questions for Odunze revolve around opportunity, as the Bears acquired Keenan Allen to pair with DJ Moore before drafting Odunze. The long-term outlook, however, is a beautiful one as Odunze will join the Bears along with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Allen has one year left on his deal, and Williams and Odunze likely represent the future of this offense. As a prospect, Odunze may fall a tick below the top two receivers, but he’s well above average in nearly every category. He’ll need to develop his route running, which didn’t require much detail at Washington, but his size, speed, ball skills and ability to shield off defenders will make him a great pro.

1.06 – Drake Maye (QB – NE)

It’s unclear if Drake Maye will open the season as the Patriots’ QB1, but I believe the questions around his footwork and readiness to play have been blown out of proportion. Maye is a big-bodied, strong-armed gunslinger, but people forget he can move. His 4.55 40-yard dash landed him in the 95th percentile of quarterbacks. Perhaps more impressively, Maye ran for 801 yards in 2022, good for fifth in the nation, and 88 yards more than Anthony Richardson on one more attempt.

Maye is reminiscent of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert – a big quarterback who can make all the throws but shows some inconsistencies and gets carried away with his big arm from time to time. His ceiling is incredibly high given the arm talent, but don’t forget he offers some upside on the ground as well.
