Last month, we had a 10-team, non-PPR mock draft and a 10-team, PPR mock draft. Now, mock draft 3.0 is for a non-PPR, superflex (QB/RB/WR/TE at FLEX) league with 12 teams using Fantasy Pros Draft Simulator, and I have the last pick based on randomization.
Round 1
1.1: Le’Veon Bell, PIT RB
1.2: Todd Gurley, LAR RB
1.3: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB
1.4: David Johnson, ARI RB
1.5: Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
1.6: Antonio Brown, PIT WR
1.7: Russell Wilson, SEA QB
1.8: Alvin Kamara, NO RB
1.9: Saquon Barkley, NYG RB
1.10: DeAndre Hopkins, HOU WR
1.11: Tom Brady, NE QB
1.12: Julio Jones, ATL WR
My thoughts: Three quarterbacks went in the first round, so I was able to get Julio Jones, who has as good a chance as anyone to finish as the overall WR1.
Round 2
2.1: Melvin Gordon, LAC RB
2.2: Kareem Hunt, KC RB
2.3: Odell Beckham Jr., NYG WR
2.4: Drew Brees, NO QB
2.5: Deshaun Watson, HOU QB
2.6: Leonard Fournette, JAX RB
2.7: Michael Thomas, NO WR
2.8: Cam Newton, CAR QB
2.9: Dalvin Cook, MIN RB
2.10: Carson Wentz, PHI QB
2.11: A.J. Green, CIN WR
2.12: Keenan Allen, LAC WR
My thoughts: There were tons of options with the second of my back-to-back picks, but I think Melvn Gordon gives me the highest floor for the foundation of my team.
Round 3
3.1: LeSean McCoy, BUF RB
3.2: Davante Adams, GB WR
3.3: Devonta Freeman, ATL RB
3.4: Tyreek Hill, KC WR
3.5: Jordan Howard, CHI RB
3.6: Andrew Luck, IND QB
3.7: Mike Evans, TB WR
3.8: Jerick McKinnon, SF RB
3.9: Doug Baldwin, SEA WR
3.10: Kirk Cousins, MIN QB
3.11: Rashaad Penny, SEA RB
3.12: Christian McCaffrey, CAR RB
My thoughts: Quarterbacks continuing to be pushed up the board in a superflex league allows me to get an absolute steal with Christian McCaffrey at pick No. 36.
Round 4
4.1: Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
4.2: Matthew Stafford, DET QB
4.3: Jimmy Garoppolo, SF QB
4.4: Derrick Henry, TEN RB
4.5: Adam Thielen, MIN WR
4.6: Kenyan Drake, MIA RB
4.7: Ben Roethlisberger, PIT QB
4.8: Joe Mixon, CIN RB
4.9: Allen Robinson, CHI WR
4.10: Matt Ryan, ATL QB
4.11: Travis Kelce, KC TE
4.12: Brandin Cooks, LAR WR
My thoughts: I might have waited too long to get my first quarterback, but Rob Gronkowski was the obvious best player on the board and gives me a significant weekly advantage at tight end.
Round 5
5.1: Jared Goff, LAR QB
5.2: Philip Rivers, LAC QB
5.3: T.Y. Hilton, IND WR
5.4: Patrick Mahones, KC QB
5.5: Larry Fitzgerald, ARI WR
5.6: Jay Ajayi, PHI RB
5.7: Josh Gordon, CLE WR
5.8: Marcus Mariota, TEN QB
5.9: Alshon Jeffery, PHI WR
5.10: Alex Collins, BAL RB
5.11: Stefon Diggs, MIN WR
5.12: Amari Cooper, OAK WR
My thoughts: Amari Cooper will be the focal point of Jon Gruden’s offense, and the draft actually fell perfectly for me when it came to waiting for a quarterback thanks to my next pick also being on the board still.
Round 6
6.1: Derek Carr, OAK QB
6.2: JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT WR
6.3: Zach Ertz, PHI TE
6.4: Jameis Winston, TB QB
6.5: Golden Tate, DET WR
6.6: Dak Prescott, DAL QB
6.7: Lamar Miller, HOU RB
6.8: Demaryius Thomas, DEN WR
6.9: Alex Smith, WAS QB
6.10: Marvin Jones, DET WR
6.11: Eli Manning, NYG QB
6.12: Blake Bortles, JAX QB
My thoughts: Derek Carr and Amari Cooper could be a deadly stack combination in Oakland, and I’m comfortable with Carr as my QB1 in a superflex thanks to the strength of my skill-position players.
Round 7
7.1: Carlos Hyde, CLE RB
7.2: Dion Lewis, TEN RB
7.3: Derrius Guice, WAS RB
7.4: Jarvis Landry, CLE WR
7.5: Chris Hogan, NE WR
7.6: Michael Crabtree, BAL WR
7.7: Mark Ingram, NO RB
7.8: Robby Anderson, NYJ WR
7.9: Sammy Watkins, KC WR
7.10: Ronald Jones II, TB RB
7.11: Marshawn Lynch, OAK RB
7.12: Mitchell Trubisky, CHI QB
My thoughts: Trubisky has top ten potential, but I got him at a QB24 price to slot right into the superflex. I think waiting for the position paid off.
Round 8
8.1: Sony Michel, NE RB
8.2: Royce Freeman, DEN RB
8.3: Tevin Coleman, ATL RB
8.4: Evan Engram, NYG TE
8.5: Jimmy Graham, GB TE
8.6: Greg Olsen, CAR TE
8.7: Corey Davis, TEN WR
8.8: Pierre Garcon, SF WR
8.9: Robert Woods, LAR WR
8.10: Devin Funchess, CAR WR
8.11: Tarik Cohen, CHI RB
8.12: Dez Bryant, FA WR
My thoughts: Now that I have two signal-callers, I can go BPA without worrying about being left hanging. Sony Michel could be a star if Bill Belichick trusts him enough in a significant role early on.
Round 9
9.1: Duke Johnson, CLE RB
9.2: Randall Cobb, GB WR
9.3: Emmanuel Sanders, DEN WR
9.4: Jamaal Williams, GB RB
9.5: Julian Edelman, NE WR
9.6: Kelvin Benjamin, BUF WR
9.7: Will Fuller, HOU WR
9.8: Rex Burkhead, NE RB
9.9: Marlon Mack, IND RB
9.10: Isaiah Crowell, NYJ RB
9.11: Delanie Walker, TEN TE
9.12: Jordy Nelson, OAK WR
My thoughts: There were several options I considered here, but with Carr and Cooper already on the roster, I went with Nelson.
Round 10
10.1: C.J. Anderson, CAR RB
10.2: Kenny Stills, MIA WR
10.3: Cooper Kupp, LAR WR
10.4: DeVante Parker, MIA WR
10.5: Jamison Crowder, WAS WR
10.6: Chris Thompson, WAS RB
10.7: Kyle Rudolph, MIN TE
10.8: Marqise Lee, JAX WR
10.9: Marquise Goodwin, SF WR
10.10: Sterling Shepard, NYG WR
10.11: Theo Riddick, DET RB
10.12: Josh Doctson, WAS WR
My thoughts: I like C.J. Anderson as my fourth running back in the 12-team league, especially considering he also acts as a handcuff to McCaffrey.
Round 11
11.1: Martavis Bryant, OAK WR
11.2: Nelson Agholor, PHI WR
11.3: Rishard Matthews, TEN WR
11.4: Kerryon Johnson, DET RB
11.5: Jordan Reed, WAS TE
11.6: Doug Martin, OAK RB
11.7: DeSean Jackson, TB WR
11.8: Aaron Jones, GB RB
11.9: Nick Chubb, CLE RB
11.10: LeGarrette Blount, DET RB
11.11: Mike Williams, LAC WR
11.12: D’Onta Foreman, HOU RB
My thoughts: He needs to get healthy to be worth the selection here, but D’Onta Foreman has the talent to takeover Houston’s backfield in an explosive offensive attack.
Round 12
12.1: D.J. Moore, CAR WR
12.2: Kenny Golladay, DET WR
12.3: Allen Hurns, DAL WR
12.4: Trey Burton, CHI TE
12.5: Eric Ebron, IND TE
12.6: Bilal Powell, NYJ RB
12.7: Ty Montgomery, GB RB
12.8: Devontae Booker, DEN RB
12.9: Cameron Meredith, NO WR
12.10: Jack Doyle, IND TE
12.11: Andy Dalton, CIN QB
12.12: Chris Carson, SEA RB
My thoughts: I thought about Kenny Golladay, who went immediately after, but D.J. Moore has a clearer path to playing time and could rise in the coming weeks if he performs in the preseason.
Round 13
13.1: O.J. Howard, TB TE
13.2: James White, NE RB
13.3: Giovani Bernard, CIN RB
13.4: Tyler Eifert, CIN TE
13.5: Corey Clement, PHI RB
13.6: Vikings D/ST
13.7: George Kittle, SF TE
13.8: Tyrell Williams, LAC WR
13.9: Case Keenum DEN QB
13.10: Ryan Tannehill, MIA QB
13.11: David Njoku, CLE TE
13.12: Sam Bradford, ARI QB
My thoughts: Sam Bradford is a notch behind Carr and Trubisky as fantasy options, but he could have some big weeks in Mike McCoy’s offense.
Round 14
14.1: Latavius Murray, MIN RB
14.2: Frank Gore, MIA RB
14.3: Vance McDonald, PIT TE
14.4: Matt Breida, SF RB
14.5: Peyton Barber, TB RB
14.6: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR
14.7: Kenneth Dixon, BAL RB
14.8: Nyheim Hines, IND RB
14.9: Austin Ekeler, LAC RB
14.10: Chris Ivory, BUF RB
14.11: Ted Ginn, NO WR
14.12: Jaguars D/ST
My thoughts: I could have used another tight end for Gronk insurance, but he doesn’t have a bye until Week 11, and Latavius Murray was the best player available.
Round 15
15.1: Charles Clay, BUF TE
15.2: Eagles D/ST
15.3: Rams D/ST
15.4: Texas D/ST
15.5: Chargers D/ST
15.6: Cameron Brate, TB TE
15.7: Broncos D/ST
15.8: Ravens D/ST
15.9: Saints D/ST
15.10: Steelers D/ST
15.11: Seahawks D/ST
15.12: Panthers D/ST
My thoughts: The Panthers probably have the best defense left on the board, and their season opener isn’t terribly imposing with Dallas coming to town.
Round 16
16.1: Stephen Gostkowski, NE K
16.2: Justin Tucker, BAL K
16.3: Greg Zuerlein, LAR K
16.4: Matt Bryant, ATL K
16.5: Wil Lutz, NO K
16.6: Jake Elliott, PHI K
16.7: Dan Bailey, DAL K
16.8: Matt Prater, DET K
16.9: Chris Boswell, PIT K
16.10: Mason Crosby, GB K
16.11: Harrison Butker, KC K
16.12: Blair Walsh, FA K
