Check out our more recent mock here.
1.01 D’Andre Swift- RB- Georgia
This class is absolutely stacked and any of the first four picks could be interchangeable but in this case, I’m taking Georgia’s star running back D’Andre Swift. What put Swift here is his upside, Swift is absolutely electric with the ball in his hand. He’s creative in space, has great vision and can break the big play at any time. This mixed with a good ability to catch the football makes him the perfect back for today’s NFL. Swift is a slam dunk pick and should be in everyone’s running for first overall.
1.02 Jonathan Taylor- RB- Wisconsin
Jonathan Taylor is as safe as you can have out of a running back with the most well-rounded skill sets in the class. Taylor is an every-down back who can be a workhorse in the NFL and has proved it in college with multiple 2k rushing seasons.
1.03 Jerry Jeudy- WR- Alabama
One of the most polished receivers to come out in recent years, Jerry Jeudy is an absolute technician at the position. His route running is more advanced than a lot of NFL veterans. He uses his tremendous route running and speed to create a ton of separation get open and make plays. Jeudy is dangerous in space and knows how to create it for himself. In the NFL he should become a quarterback’s best friend.

1.04 CeeDee Lamb- WR- Oklahoma
CeeDee Lamb is an absolute beast of a receiver, he is the legit prototype that NFL teams look for. Lamb is big, strong, has fantastic body control and can run after the catch. He’s the type of receiver who an offense can run through. Lamb has all of the makings of a top 12 dynasty receiver sooner rather than later.
1.05 JK Dobbins- RB- Ohio State
JK Dobbins has had a productive year since stepping on campus at OSU with a thousand yards his freshman season. This season Dobbins put it all together rushing for over two thousand yards and 21 touchdowns. Dobbins has game-breaking speed where he can score any time he touches the ball. Dobbins brings a lot more than just speed to the position and an argument can be made for him to be the top back drafted.
1.06 Tee Higgins- WR- Clemson
Tee Higgins is the prime time red zone threat in this class, at 6’4” 215 pounds Higgins is a matchup nightmare. Higgins uses his big body to box out smaller defenders and dominate them at the catch point. Higgins has now proven himself with back to back double-digit touchdown seasons. His 19.9 yards per reception shows his big-play ability as well. Higgins has shown the ability to produce on the biggest stages in college football and should be able to replicate it in the NFL being a team’s top target.
1.07 Cam Akers- RB- Florida State
At this point in the draft process, Cam Akers is being severely undervalued. Akers doesn’t have the gaudy numbers like some of the other backs due to the fact he was running behind the 120th ranked offensive line in college football. Even with dealing with that Akers was still able to rush for 1144 yards and 14 touchdowns as well as good receiving production. Akers has everything you want in a top back and proved he can do it with minimal help. In the NFL things have to get better which will lead to him thriving.
1.08 Justin Jefferson- WR – LSU
Justin Jefferson is a hoover vacuum out there catching the ball. Anything in his vicinity belongs to him. Jefferson has all of the makings of a high volume PPR monster. What Jefferson lacks in speed and explosiveness he makes up for literally everywhere else.
1.09 Clyde Edwards-Helaire-RB- LSU
Clyde Edwards-Helaire is quite possibly the best receiving backs in the draft. He can run multiple routes and make plays in space. What makes him special is that’s not all he can do, he runs well between the tackles as well as to the outside. Edwards-Helaire could easily go much higher in drafts with no complaints.
1.10 Jalen Reagor- WR- TCU
Jalen Reagor is one of the most explosive players in the entire draft. With game-breaking speed and the ability to run after the catch he will be a great chess piece for whatever team drafts him. With landing in the right spot Reagor is the type of player who can win a fantasy matchup for you any week.
1.11 Henry Ruggs III-WR- Alabama
Speaking of game-breaking speed you can’t talk about speed in this draft class without mentioning Henry Ruggs III. Henry Ruggs could be in the mix for the fastest player in the NFL. According to Next Gen Stats Ruggs has hit over 23 miles per hour multiple times which makes him incredibly dangerous. Mixing this with solid hands and the ability to run through tacklers Ruggs could be one of the most dangerous young players in football.
1.12 Zack Moss- RB- Utah
Zack Moss is a between the tackle runner who is built for an NFL workload. Moss is a phenomenal runner between the tackles and has enough speed to take it to the outside and burst for the big play. In this draft class, he’s one of the last backs available who will give you every down fantasy production and could be a starter. Moss has done nothing but produce in college which should translate nicely to the next level.
