Last year, during rookie draft season, I started the habit of putting together rookie mock drafts with followers on social media or listeners to Fantasy Football Today Dynasty. It is a different process than trying to organize 12 Fantasy analysts and doing what many refer to as an expert mock. One of the things I like about it is that we get a lot more variety in the order. And that gives me more to talk about.
One of the reasons some are skeptical of this approach is that you can get some really wild picks, some may even call them mistakes, in these types of mocks. I think that is a feature, not a bug. For example, in this one QB mock I did below, Fernando Mendoza was the first overall pick. That is, in my opinion, a mistake in this format. I would not take him before pick eight in this format. But it is also helpful for people who may be mostly consuming Superflex content but play in one-QB leagues. Here are the full results, along with my thoughts on each round:
Other than Mendoza, there really isn't much surprising about the first eight picks. And I am not sure you could really say anything surprising about the last four either, if only because there is absolutely no consensus around these picks. I do not have Washington or Coleman in my top 12 as of mid-April, but that could certainly change once we see how the NFL values these guys.
This is the far more interesting round from my perspective. Johnson was my pick and my favorite running back value in the draft. But Sarratt may have been an even better value at the end of Round 2. I have Rich Cooling from Dynasty League Football on FFT Dynasty last week, and he prefers Sarratt over teammate Omar Cooper. You can see why here:
The further we get into rookie draft prep, the more appealing I am finding Round 3 picks. The problem is that the guys I really like, Allen, Bell, Claiborne, and Trigg, will not be available in Round 3 if they sneak into Day 2 of the NFL Draft. And if they don't, they won't be as appealing. That is less true for the running backs than it is for the pass catchers.
Makai Lemon is a standout player featured as a Round 1 pick in the 2026 one QB rookie mock draft, showcasing his potential impact in fantasy football.
The mock draft was conducted in a one QB format, allowing for a wider variety of picks compared to traditional expert mocks, which often follow a more structured selection process.
Fernando Mendoza was the first overall pick, but the analyst considered this a mistake, suggesting he should be selected later in the draft.
The one QB mock draft provides insights and strategies for players in one-QB leagues, contrasting with the more common Superflex formats they may be used to.
