It’s NFL Draft month, and with free agency largely wrapped up, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of the directions teams may take on Draft night. This clarity has also brought more consistency to the mock draft community.
With that in mind, we can now build rookie mock drafts with greater confidence, giving us a better sense of what drafts may actually look like. Let’s explore what a Super Flex rookie draft might look like if players land where Field Yates predicts in his most recent two-round mock.

SuperFlex Mock Draft
1.01 – Jeremiyah Love, RB, Washington
When it comes to the top pick in this year’s rookie drafts, it’s pretty clear that Jeremyiah Love stands above the rest. He profiles as one of the best running back prospects in recent years, backed by elite efficiency metrics. Since 2020, he is one of only seven running backs to average over 0.30 missed tackles forced per attempt and more than 1.5 yards per route run. Love pairs tremendous athleticism with a rare blend of flexibility and explosive speed, making him a dynamic, big-play threat. His landing spot in Washington only strengthens his outlook. While the team recently added Rachaad White and Jerome Ford, neither is likely to significantly cap Love’s high-end fantasy ceiling.
1.02– Fernando Mendoza, QB, Las Vegas
He may not be the dual-threat quarterback many covet in fantasy, but Mendoza has the chance to be a reliable QB2 for years. His ascension to the top quarterback in this class has been clear, and he has shown all the tools to become a viable NFL starter. Now lacking the rushing upside, he will be limited for us in fantasy. On the flip side, the offense in Las Vegas is expected to get a massive upgrade with Klint Kubiak coming to town. If this is the case, Mendoza should not have trouble generating top 15 numbers for plenty of years to come.
1.03– Jordyn Tyson, WR, Kansas City
Among the top three wide receivers in this class, landing spot will ultimately determine how they shake out. With Jordyn Tyson landing in Kansas City, he stands out as the must-draft option. Tyson ranks fourth in this class with 2.71 yards per route run—a figure that places him among the top 40 wide receiver prospects since 2020. In an offense undergoing transition, he projects as an ideal perimeter playmaker who can make an immediate impact. Stylistically, Tyson offers a blend of Xavier Worthy’s speed and Rashee Rice’s physicality. With continued refinement, he has the upside to emerge as the top wide receiver in this class.
1.04– Makai Lemon, WR, New York J.
My pre-draft WR1 didn’t land in the most favorable situation with the Jets, but it’s far from a dealbreaker. Lemon will have to compete with Garrett Wilson for targets, though in today’s NFL, there’s plenty of room for two productive fantasy receivers within the same offense. Lemon’s 3.02 yards per route run ranks among the top 12 wide receiver prospects since 2020, highlighting his big-play ability. He projects as an ideal Z receiver at the next level, capable of commanding volume while also creating after the catch. Whether it’s Geno Smith in year one or another quarterback down the line, Lemon has the skill set to be a featured weapon in this offense.
1.05– Carnell Tate, WR, Cleveland
Many consider Carnell Tate the top wide receiver in this class, and it’s easy to see why. He brings an impressive combination of size and speed, allowing him to consistently win downfield and dominate the vertical game. With all the tools to develop into a true No. 1 option, Tate has the opportunity to step in and take over an unproven wide receiver room in Cleveland. The primary concern with this landing spot is the team’s overall direction and the uncertainty surrounding its quarterback situation. Still, this is a bet on talent over situation. In the long run, Tate’s skill set gives him the upside to emerge as one of the premier receivers from this class.
1.06– KC Concepcion, WR, Miami
The Dolphins entered the draft in need of wide receiver help and may have found their Jaylen Waddle replacement in Concepcion. He’s a versatile playmaker who can win at all three levels of the field and even handle touches out of the backfield. Concepcion pairs elite twitch with strong long speed, allowing him to consistently generate separation. While there are some concerns about drops, that metric has not proven to be a strong predictor of success at the next level. He should step into a meaningful target share right away, giving him solid PPR value from the start. The biggest question mark will be the quarterback situation, particularly how Malik Willis performs in year one and beyond.
1.07– Denzel Boston, WR, New England
This is one of the more favorable landing spots among the wide receivers in this class. Denzel Boston is a fluid mover for his size, a rare trait for a true perimeter receiver. He steps into an unproven wide receiver room in New England with a clear opportunity to command a significant target share early in his career. Boston also brings strong red-zone ability, giving him a realistic chance to lead all rookie wide receivers in touchdowns. His long-term outlook is further boosted by his pairing with Drake Maye, a quarterback known for his deep-ball ability—an area where Boston thrives.
1.08– Ty Simpson, QB, Arizona
Ty Simpson has been gaining late momentum in NFL circles, and that’s reflected here as the Cardinals trade back into Round 1 to select him. Simpson brings more rushing upside than Mendoza but raises greater concerns as a passer, particularly with his ball placement. He’s unlikely to start immediately with Jacoby Brissett in place, but there’s a strong chance he sees playing time later in the season—or even sooner—similar to Jaxson Dart last year. With plenty of weapons around him, Simpson has the potential to develop into a consistent top-15 weekly option, making him a must-draft at this spot.
1.09– Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Philadelphia
Omar Cooper Jr. is one of the more polarizing prospects in this draft class. After breaking out this past season at Indiana, he showcased exceptional yards-after-catch ability along with impressive twitch and creativity as both a route runner and ball carrier. His landing spot in Philadelphia is less than ideal. The offense tends to be low-volume and has historically struggled to consistently support even one reliable fantasy option, let alone multiple. While the long-term outlook still offers some intrigue based on his talent, there’s legitimate risk here. He’s worth a shot for his upside, but comes with enough uncertainty to warrant caution when selecting him.
1.10– Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Carolina
Kenyon Sadiq has emerged as the consensus TE1 in this class and lands in a particularly intriguing situation. While Tetairoa McMillan has established himself as the alpha in the passing game, the rest of the depth chart remains unsettled, with no clear No. 2 option. Sadiq brings a unique skill set that allows him to be utilized in a variety of ways, especially with his ability to create after the catch. That versatility should translate into consistent opportunities and give him a strong chance to deliver weekly fantasy production.
1.11– Jadarian Price, RB, Seattle
The Seahawks moved on from Kenneth Walker this offseason, and with Zach Charbonnet recovering from a late ACL tear, they added their potential lead back in Jadarian Price. Price leads this class in explosive run rate, with 19% of his carries going for 10+ yards and 11% for 15+ yards. He achieves this through a combination of burst, vision, and a natural feel for finding cutback lanes. However, his limited receiving profile suggests he may offer minimal value in the passing game at the next level. Still, in what projects to be one of the more explosive offenses, Price has a path to fantasy relevance. The lingering concern, though, is the potential for a committee role.
1.12– Germie Bernard, WR, San Francisco
There is plenty of debate surrounding Germie Bernard and what his role will look like at the next level. His advanced metrics are underwhelming, with a 1.91 yards per route run figure that ranks outside the top 150 wide receiver prospects since 2020. However, he excels after the catch, with a 20% missed tackles forced rate and 6.4 yards after catch—both ranking inside the top 70. Bernard has drawn comparisons to Deebo Samuel, and landing in San Francisco feels like an ideal fit for his skill set. He could step into a significant touch role in an offense that may be relatively unproven at wide receiver, especially if both Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk depart.
