2026 Pre-NFL Draft Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft, Five Rounds v. 1.0 (from the #11 spot)

A 12-part, daily series...a mock DRD picking from each spot in a 12-team league.

 

This version 1.0 (pre-Draft) series will publish one slot daily from 3/8 to 3/19 SUN...picks posted with commentaries.

This is an early and brief look at where my info and gut are at before the NFL Draft...just trying to get a feel for how deep this draft is/isn’t and what trends develop.

 

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
