A 12-part series...a five-round mock DRD picking from each of the 12 spots.
This series will publish daily from 6/14 to 6/25.
Ground rules for this mock draft...
-- I am drafting vs. FantasyPros A.I., five rounds
-- 12 team league scenario
-- 1 QB, 2RB-2WR-1TE, +1 Flex lineups
-- 4pts pass TD, PPR, no TE bonuses...no bonus scoring at all
-- Travis Hunter is a WR only scorer
Pick Pos. Name
1.01 RB Ashton Jeanty, LV
Whether you like him or love him, you gotta pick him first...then trade him if you want. He’s the single most valuable DRD asset this year, no one is even close for the public. Not a debate here.
1.02 WR Tetairoa McMillan, CAR
1.03 RB Omarion Hampton, LAC
1.04 RB TreVeyon Henderson, NE
1.05 WR Travis Hunter, JAC
1.06 RB Kaleb Johnson, PIT
1.07 TE Colston Loveland, CHI
1.08 WR Emeka Egbuka, TB
1.09 RB Quinshon Judkins, CLE
1.10 WR Luther Burden III, CHI
1.11 TE Tyler Warren, IND
1.12 RB RJ Harvey, DEN
---------------------------------------------
2.01 WR Tre Harris, LAC
None of the RBs or Warren fell, so it’s my pick of the WRs...Harris-Higgins or reach for Kyle Williams. I could say, ‘I’ll just see if Williams falls to my 3.01,” but I want to take Arroyo there.
If I have Ladd, I have interest in Harris. If I have Nico, then Higgins has my attention. I think from a talent + landing spot perspective, Kyle Williams is my desire.
If I could, I’d try to trade this pick and move to the middle of the 2nd to take Kyle and get another asset in the deal/fall back.
I’m gonna take Tre Harris, because in general I own SO much Ladd McConkey...and so do many of you. Then hope it’s a Kyle v. Arroyo choice next pick.
2.02 WR Jayden Higgins, HOU
2.03 WR Jaylin Noel, HOU
2.04 WR Matthew Golden, GB
2.05 QB Cameron Ward, TEN
2.06 RB Cam Skattebo, NYG
2.07 WR Kyle Williams, NE
2.08 WR Jack Bech, LV
2.09 RB Bhayshul Tuten, JAC
2.10 WR Jalen Royals, KC
2.11 TE Mason Taylor, NYJ
2.12 QB Jaxson Dart, NYG
---------------------------------------------
3.01 RB Jaydon Blue, DAL
Kyle Williams is gone, but Arroyo is available. But so is rising ADP RB Jaydon Blue. I want that Dallas rookie RB duo so bad (taking Mafah later)! Our first post-NFL Draft DRD (1.0) series, Blue was going later 3rd-round, sometimes 4th-round. Not anymore.
Jalen Royals has also started to rise in ADP of late...he’s showing as a likely to go in the 3rd-round pick here too.
The lesson of the current DRDs might be -- draft in the first and trade out of the early 2nd to mid/late 2nd...get a bunch of picks between #18-28, somehow-someway.
But I gotta make a pick, I’ll go Blue and see if Arroyo or Royals falls (doubtful).
3.02 QB Jalen Milroe, SEA
3.03 TE Terrance Ferguson, LAR
3.04 QB Tyler Shough, NO
3.05 RB Devin Neal, NO
3.06 RB Dylan Sampson, CLE
3.07 RB Woody Marks, HOU
3.08 WR Elic Ayomanor, TEN
3.09 TE Elijah Arroyo, SEA
3.10 QB Shedeur Sanders, CLE
3.11 RB Trevor Etienne, CAR
3.12 TE Harold Fannin Jr., CLE
---------------------------------------------
4.01 WR Savion Williams, GB
Neither Arroyo or Royals fell, not even close. So, I’m looking at Savion Williams here, and really everyone else is a 5th-rounder or I can try to get after the draft of the unclaimed...like Gadsden, Ricky White, and Dike among others.
I’ll pick Savion and pray he’s a dual threat usage right away.
4.02 RB Jarquez Hunter, LAR
4.03 WR Jaylin Lane, WAS
4.04 RB Tahj Brooks, CIN
4.05 WR Tory Horton, SEA
4.06 WR Tez Johnson, TB
4.07 WR Pat Bryant, DEN
4.08 RB Brashard Smith, KC
4.09 RB DJ Giddens, IND
4.10 QB Quinn Ewers, MIA
4.11 RB Jordan James, SF
4.12 RB Ollie Gordon II, MIA
---------------------------------------------
5.01 RB Damien Martinez, SEA (RB Phil Mafah, DAL)
As always, I’ll take Phil Mafah here...but I won’t actually take him on this platform...I don’t want to dive up his value, so I will take Damien Martinez to drive up his ADP. But this is Mafah-land...and will be every time.
5.02 WR Isaac TeSlaa, DET
5.03 TE Gunnar Helm, TEN
5.04 QB Will Howard, PIT
5.05 RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, WAS
5.06 WR Xavier Restrepo, TEN
5.07 WR Tai Felton, MIN
5.08 WR Ricky White III, SEA
5.09 QB Dillon Gabriel, CLE
5.10 WR Isaiah Bond, FA
5.11 RB Kyle Monangai, CHI
5.12 RB LeQuint Allen Jr., JAC
Post-Draft: Undrafted guys I’ll consider on waivers...Dike. Mellott.
