The Only 2021 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft You Will Need

We did it. Yes, the GoingFor2 team did something no other fantasy football analysts has done in the history of Dynasty. We did a 2021 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft in January that will NOT change at all in the next three months. That’s right. No need to worry about landing spot; don’t even pay attention to 40 times; and if one of these guys crushes their Pro-Day, it won’t affect their value AT ALL. In fact, stop doing your research, cause we nailed it. Me and the 11 other writers listed below just did the only 2021 dynasty rookie mock draft you will need this offseason.

1.01 RB Najee Harris Alabama

There’s no clear cut consensus this year like we’ve seen with JT and Barkley recently, but Harris feels like the safest bet of the RB trio and a solid RB option at the next level. In FF RB is king and you have to take a shot at getting the next RB1 over a good WR prospect like Chase. – @ProFootballPSI 

1.02 RB Travis Etienne Clemson

Natural speed and explosiveness make Etienne an RB1 for years to come. He is a solid runner that also has remarkable pass-catching abilities with 524 yards receiving in 2020. He is a versatile playmaker that will be an incredible asset to any team in the NFL. I personally think he is more complete than Harris and am glad he fell to me with the 2nd pick! – @luvtractor3 

1.03 WR Ja’Mar Chase LSU

Chase opted out of the 2020 season but is still a top receiver in this draft class. In 2019 he had more receiving yards than Justin Jefferson. He is a very good route runner and has strong hands. He is very good after the catch which might be his best attribute. – @chieffan1002

1.04 WR DeVonta Smith Alabama

Smith falling to 1.04 is an amazing value and was an instant pick. With cat-like quickness and crisp rout- tree look for the Heisman winner to transition easily into the NFL. Stefon Diggs is a great NFL comparison. – @zackzander

1.05 TE Kyle Pitts Flordia

He is going to be a fantasy football cheat code. He is a WR that managers can start in the TE roster position. That positional advantage is easily worth the 1.05 for me. – @FantasyBBQ

1.06 WR Jaylen Waddle Alabama

I have Jaylen Waddle ranked as my number 2 WR in this class, behind Ja’Mar Chase. His combination of speed and elusiveness are going to make him a game-changing threat at the NFL level. He reminds me of a faster Tyler Lockett, so getting him at the 1.07 is a smash pick. – @Marco_14P

1.07 RB Javonte Williams UNC

A big-bodied throwback runner Javonte Williams shows the ability to push the pike and has enough speed to break the big play. With a ton of talent at the running back position, Williams is one of the few backs out there with lead back potential. – @foss534

1.08 WR Rashod Bateman Minnesota

Rashod has experience playing outside and in the slot. He is a great route runner that can break down press coverage. Capable of using his double moves to make defensive backs look silly. He has great instincts when the play breaks down, showing a knack for adjusting and uncovering to help out his QB. – @eagledanff

1.09 WR Rondale Moore Purdue

Rondale Moore is going to e a PPR machine and the last of a tier of skilled position players for me. While Trevor Lawrence was tempting, perhaps I find a QB to my liking in the next round. – @MattMacCoyNFL

1.10 WR Amon-Ra St.Brown USC

St. Brown is going to be a good slot WR in the NFL. He has the size, speed, strength and he is not afraid to make the short contested catches running over the middle. The WR class is deep and St. Brown tends to get overlooked some. His ability to constantly beat man coverage will help him out of the slot and likely become a PPR magnet. He is also capable of getting it done lining up out wide too. He kind of gives me that Juju Smith-Schuster and a team needing a good slot WR will gladly take him off the board. – @aaronbarnett221

1.11 QB Trevor Lawrence Clemson

Trevor Lawrence has the arm strength to make every throw and be an elite NFL QB. He also has the speed to extend plays with his legs and be a threat rushing the ball, making him a rare high floor and high ceiling prospect. Even in single QB leagues, Lawrence justifies the first-round pick and solidifies a position for the foreseeable future. – @GMenJay

1.12 RB Kenneth Gainwell Memphis

Gainwell is a shifty running back that will be used heavily in the passing game. He is capable of lining up in the slot or and will create mismatches with linebackers. His biggest detractor is trying to make every play a big play, sometimes he just needs to take the 3 yards instead of trying to turn it into 10. – @geofflambert77 

2.01 QB Justin Fields Ohio State

Justin Fields has just as high a ceiling as Trevor Lawrence. The battle for QB1 is closer than most give it credit for and that makes Fields a value in rookie drafts. Fields can make all throws, has shown he can get through his reads and deliver the ball accurately and on time. Don’t fall for the “OSU doesn’t produce QB’s” theory. USC once didn’t produce WR’s and then Juju/Pittman came along. Scared money don’t make money. – @ProFootballPSI 

2.02 QB Zach Wilson BYU

I almost took a WR here, but I feel that Wilson will be a league winner in no time with his accuracy, resiliency, and mobility. Look at Mahomes and Allen, they are successful at running and scrambling, and Wilson will be as well. His 6’3″ foot lean frame will see over defenders and time the deep ball with precision. Protection is key in the NFL and in 2020, Wilson only turned the ball over three times. I see Wilson effectively producing in the NFL and is an incredible pick in the 2nd round! – @luvtractor3 

2.03 RB Micheal Carter UNC

This was maybe a risky pick at 2.03 but in the right system, Michael Carter could surprise some people. Some people might be scared of his 5’8″ 199-pound frame. But he is a perfect fit for a one cut and go type of run game. He is also a good pass catcher and has been tied as a good pass blocker as well. Carter’s outlook will change depending on his landing spot. – @chieffan1002

2.04 WR Terrance Marshall LSU

In round two I will always draft on ceiling and Marshall has as high a ceiling as anyone. Improved consistency in 2020 and also showed ability to play in the slot. My personal WR 3 pre-draft has future alpha potential and his size-speed combo reminds me of a young Demaryius Thomas. – @zackzander

2.05 RB Chubb Hubbard OSU

He’s one season removed from a 2,000+ yard campaign. He opted out seven games into the 2020 campaign to focus on preparing for the 2021 NFL draft. If he retains his speed and elusiveness while adding weight to endure the grind of running between the tackles he is a steal at this point in the draft. – @FantasyBBQ

2.06 WR Elijah Moore Ole Miss

Elijah Moore is one of the most underrated wide receivers in this class. His footwork and incredible ability to track the ball in the air make him dangerous in the slot. His lethal burst on short to intermediate routes reminds me of Diontae Johnson. Seeing him fall to the second round isn’t overly surprising and that makes him that much more of a value in rookie drafts. – @Marco_14P

2.07 WR Tylan Wallace Oklahoma State

Tylan Wallace was kind of a forgotten player coming back from an injury this year. When healthy Wallace has shown everything you want in a receiver. He has strong hands, the ability to win vertical, and can play above the rim. one of the most exciting parts about his game though is his YAC ability. Wallace turns into a running back with the ball in his hands. – @foss534

2.08 WR Kadarius Toney Florida

Toney is an electric slot receiver who’s improved every year in college. His size is a little slight, but he is a playmaker when he gets the ball in his hands. He reminds me of a more athletic Curtis Samuel, as he can also be used in gadget plays in the backfield. – @eagledanff

2.09 RB Trey Sermon Ohio State

No one elevated their draft and Fantasy stock more than Trey Sermon down the stretch of the 2020-’21 College Football season. We’ve always known Sermon to be a talent, but he finally put it together. – @MattMacCoyNFL

2.10 WR Seth Williams Auburn

At 6’2″ 224lbs, he has good size and great hands. He is fearless over the middle and great with contested catches. He rarely will let the ball get in on his body. If the ball hits his hands he isn’t going to drop it. The big knock on him is his quickness and technique off the line of scrimmage, but once he works on that he will be a solid WR. With his size and ability to make the contested catches, he will be a great red-zone weapon for an offense. – @aaronbarnett221

2.11 WR Nico Collins Michigan

A tall physical receiver Collins wins with strength and is at his best in contested catch situations. Collins didn’t play in 2020 but posted a cool 19.7 yard per catch average in 2019 while being the Wolverine’s most efficient offensive player. There are similarities to last years Michael Pittman Jr. – @GMenJay

2.12 WR Dyami Brown UNC

A true home-run threat. He topped his 19.9 yards per catch in 2019 with a slightly better 20 ypc in 2020. If he continues that pattern, it’ll be 21 ypc in 2021! But seriously, this kid had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons despite never catching more than 55 passes in a season. He is raw, and you will need to be patient if you draft him, but at the 2.12 he makes for an excellent value with a ton of upside. – @geofflambert77
