Our summer series for mock drafts continues with one of the most popular formats—a 12-team, full PPR league—as I try to hit various draft settings. The previous mock drafts can be viewed as the links below:
Mock Draft 1.0: 10-team, 0.5 PPR
Mock Draft 2.0: 8-team, Full PPR (3 WR)
Mock Draft 3.0: 14-team, 0.5 PPR (Superflex)
Round 1
1.01: Christian McCaffrey, SF RB
1.02: CeeDee Lamb, DAL WR
1.03: Justin Jefferson, MIN WR
1.04: Tyreek Hill, MIA WR
1.05: Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET WR
1.06: Ja’Marr Chase, CIN WR
1.07: Bijan Robinson, ATL RB
1.08: Breece Hall, NYJ RB
1.09: Puka Nacua, LAR WR
1.10: A.J. Brown, PHI WR
1.11: Jonathan Taylor, IND RB
1.12: Garrett Wilson, NYJ WR
Thoughts: Lamb’s case to be the No. 2 overall pick is perhaps even stronger in a full PPR format, and wideouts fly off the board with five consecutive selections before the second running back comes off the board.
Round 2
2.01: Jahmyr Gibbs, DET RB
2.02: Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI WR
2.03: Drake London, ATL WR
2.04: Davante Adams, LV WR
2.05: Saquon Barkley, PHI RB
2.06: Chris Olave, NO WR
2.07: Brandon Aiyuk, SF WR
2.08: Derrick Henry, BAL RB
2.09: Nico Collins, HOU WR
2.10: Michael Pittman, IND WR
2.11: Kyren Williams, LAR RB
2.12: De’Von Achane, MIA RB
Thoughts: Those with the second-overall pick and planning to take a quarterback early have the advantage of waiting until Round 3 if none go off the board to this point—so I can take Williams to give me a clear RB1 option and still get Jalen Hurts or Josh Allen next.
Round 3
3.01: Jaylen Waddle, MIA WR
3.02: Jalen Hurts, PHI QB
3.03: Isiah Pacheco, KC RB
3.04: Travis Kelce, KC TE
3.05: Travis Etienne Jr., JAX RB
3.06: Sam LaPorta, DET TE
3.07: Deebo Samuel, SF WR
3.08: Josh Allen, BUF QB
3.09: Rachaad White, TB RB
3.10: Josh Jacobs, GB RB
3.11: Mike Evans, TB WR
3.12: DJ Moore, CHI WR
Thoughts: It turns out neither quarterback went at the turn, and Hurts gets the edge over Josh Allen—in a complete coin flip—with a better chance of again reaching double-digit rushing scores, and the new offense should improve his passing outlook.
Round 4
4.01: Patrick Mahomes II, KC QB
4.02: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB
4.03: Joe Mixon, HOU RB
4.04: Kenneth Walker III, SEA RB
4.05: DK Metcalf, SEA WR
4.06: James Cook, BUF RB
4.07: DeVonta Smith, PHI WR
4.08: Alvin Kamara, NO RB
4.09: Malik Nabers, NYG WR
4.10: Zay Flowers, BAL WR
4.11: Cooper Kupp, LAR WR
4.12: Stefon Diggs, HOU WR
Thoughts: Kupp staying healthy and even coming close to reaching his efficiency from 2021 and 2022 would make him a deadly WR2 to pair with CeeDee Lamb, and he’s another option with a boost in full PPR leagues.
Round 5
5.01: David Montgomery, DET RB
5.02: Dalton Kincaid, BUF TE
5.03: Kyler Murray, ARI QB
5.04: Rhamondre Stevenson, NE RB
5.05: Terry McLaurin, WAS WR
5.06: Aaron Jones, MIN RB
5.07: Tank Dell, HOU WR
5.08: Amari Cooper, CLE WR
5.09: Trey McBride, ARI TE
5.10: Christian Kirk, JAX WR
5.11: Tony Pollard, TEN RB
5.12: Keenan Allen, CHI WR
Thoughts: I considered a running back here, but Kincaid has major upside along with a high-end floor—and now I’m just wondering if I should have went with Josh Allen instead of Jalen Hurts at quarterback with the stack as a tiebreaker.
Round 6
6.01: James Conner, ARI RB
6.02: Tee Higgins, CIN WR
6.03: Mark Andrews, BAL TE
6.04: George Pickens, PIT WR
6.05: D’Andre Swift, CHI RB
6.06: Anthony Richardson, IND QB
6.07: C.J. Stroud, HOU QB
6.08: Dak Prescott, DAL QB
6.09: Zamir White, LV RB
6.10: Evan Engram, JAX TE
6.11: Najee Harris, PIT RB
6.12: Kyle Pitts, ATL TE
Thoughts: Harris had rushed for 1,000+ yards in all three seasons since entering the league, and he’s also had touchdown totals of ten, ten, and eight; in a new offense that the players are excited about and entering a contract year, the former first-rounder is a strong value.
Round 7
7.01: Joe Burrow, CIN QB
7.02: Chris Godwin, TB WR
7.03: Jaylen Warren, PIT RB
7.04: Jordan Love, GB QB
7.05: Raheem Mostert, MIA RB
7.06: Jonathon Brooks, CAR RB
7.07: Marquise Brown, KC WR
7.08: Jordan Addison, MIN WR
7.09: Trevor Lawrence, JAX QB
7.10: Jayden Daniels, WAS QB
7.11: Javonte Williams, DEN RB
7.12: Calvin Ridley, TEN WR
Thoughts: Godwin moving back into the slot under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen should be a boost to his value—including more consistency and a higher floor in full PPR formats.
Round 8
8.01: Jayden Reed, GB WR
8.02: Ladd McConkey, LAC WR
8.03: Zack Moss, CIN RB
8.04: Tyjae Spears, TEN RB
8.05: Diontae Johnson, CAR WR
8.06: Xavier Worthy, KC WR
8.07: Devin Singletary, NYG RB
8.08: Keon Coleman, BUF WR
8.09: Brian Robinson Jr., WAS RB
8.10: Chase Brown, CIN RB
8.11: Rashee Rice, KC WR
8.12: Rome Odunze, CHI WR
Thoughts: A suspension is still looming for Rice, but I feel great about the roster as currently constructed, so I can take a gamble on him after he showed WR1/WR2 potential down the stretch as a rookie.
Round 9
9.01: DeAndre Hopkins, TEN WR
9.02: Nick Chubb, CLE RB
9.03: Austin Ekeler, WAS RB
9.04: Jerome Ford, CLE RB
9.05: Christian Watson, GB WR
9.06: Trey Benson, ARI RB
9.07: Brian Thomas Jr., JAX WR
9.08: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA WR
9.09: Gus Edwards, LAC RB
9.10: Blake Corum, LAR RB
9.11: Brock Bowers, LV TE
9.12: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR
Thoughts: This is another somewhat risky pick if Chubb isn’t ready to go by Week 1, but again, the roster is strong—and could be a real powerhouse late in the year if Chubb rounds back into form and Rashee Rice is featured by the Chiefs.
Round 10
10.01: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR
10.02: Zach Charbonnet, SEA RB
10.03: Kendre Miller, NO RB
10.04: Antonio Gibson, NE RB
10.05: Jakobi Meyers, LV WR
10.06: George Kittle, SF TE
10.07: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB
10.08: Joshua Palmer, LAC WR
10.09: Ty Chandler, MIN RB
10.10: Jaleel McLaughlin, DEN RB
10.11: David Njoku, CLE TE
10.12: Rico Dowdle, DAL RB
Thoughts: Njoku is the best value at this point with a drop off behind him at tight end, and he has FLEX optionality in addition to being a potential trade chip behind Dalton Kincaid.
Round 11
11.01: Jameson Williams, DET WR
11.02: Mike Williams, NYJ WR
11.03: Khalil Shakir, BUF WR
11.04: Curtis Samuel, BUF WR
11.05: Jake Ferguson, DAL TE
11.06: Romeo Doubs, GB WR
11.07: MarShawn Lloyd, GB RB
11.08: T.J. Hockenson, MIN TE
11.09: Josh Downs, IND WR
11.10: Rashid Shaheed, NO WR
11.11: Dallas Goedert, PHI TE
11.12: Brandin Cooks, DAL WR
Thoughts: I was between Williams, Curtis Samuel, or Jameson Williams here, and the decision was cut down to two—so I went with the big-bodied, touchdown-dependent option to pair better with stable options in CeeDee Lamb, Cooper Kupp, and Chris Godwin.
Round 12
12.01: Jerry Jeudy, CLE WR
12.02: Chuba Hubbard, CAR RB
12.03: Dalton Schultz, HOU TE
12.04: Brock Purdy, SF QB
12.05: Tyler Allgeier, ATL RB
12.06: Khalil Herbert, CHI RB
12.07: J.K. Dobbins, LAC RB
12.08: Pat Freiermuth, PIT TE
12.09: Caleb Williams, CHI QB
12.10: Hunter Henry, NE TE
12.11: Jahan Dotson, WAS WR
12.12: Cole Kmet, CHI TE
Thoughts: We’ll see if the Commanders end up making a move for Brandon Aiyuk, but it seems unlikely, so Dotson is in a great spot to rebound as the clear No. 2 wideout on an offense that will be better with Jayden Daniels under center.
Round 13
13.01: Tua Tagovailoa, MIA QB
13.02: Bucky Irving, TB RB
13.03: Roschon Johnson, CHI RB
13.04: Kimani Vidal, LAC RB
13.05: Ravens D/ST
13.06: Jared Goff, DET QB
13.07: Luke Musgrave, GB TE
13.08: Cade Otton, TB TE
13.09: Jelani Woods, IND TE
13.10: Justin Herbert, LAC QB
13.11: Adam Thielen, CAR WR
13.12: Juwan Johnson, NO TE
Thoughts: Rachaad White could remain a clear three-down option for Tampa Bay, but Irving is a very effective pass-catcher that also shouldn’t be overlooked as a runner despite his modest size at five-foot-nine.
Round 14
14.01: Jaylen Wright, MIA RB
14.02: Ray Davis, BUF RB
14.03: Braelon Allen, NYJ RB
14.04: 49ers D/ST
14.05: Elijah Mitchell, SF RB
14.06: Dameon Pierce, HOU RB
14.07: Adonai Mitchell, IND WR
14.08: Kenneth Gainwell, PHI RB
14.09: Dontayvion Wicks, GB WR
14.10: Aaron Rodgers, NYJ QB
14.11: Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG WR
14.12: Alexander Mattison, LV RB
Thoughts: Robinson will have competition for targets from Malik Nabers and others, but he should have a stable role in the slot and was recently talked up by CeeDee Lamb; like Bucky Irving, he gets a boost in full PPR drafts.
Round 15
15.01: Cowboys, D/ST
15.02: Jets D/ST
15.03: Bears D/ST
15.04: Browns D/ST
15.05: Matthew Stafford, LAR QB
15.06: Chiefs D/ST
15.07: Bills D/ST
15.08: Steelers D/ST
15.09: Keaton Mitchell, BAL RB
15.10: Justin Tucker, BAL K
15.11: Dolphins D/ST
15.12: Brandon Aubrey, DAL K
Round 16
16.01: Saints D/ST
16.02: Ka’imi Fairbairn, HOU K
16.03: Eagles D/ST
16.04: Jason Sanders, MIA K

16.09: Younghoe Koo, ATL K
16.10: Dustin Hopkins, CLE K
16.11: Cameron Dicker, LAC K
16.12: Evan McPherson, CIN K
