Mock Draft Scenarios: Final Rookie Trends

Player mentions

Article text

The time has come to put this series to bed and I like to wrap it up by looking at the trends over the off-season. Using DLF’s ADP comparison tool , I looked at each position over the last four months to examine how our opinions on players have evolved and how that impacted their respective ADPs. With the perception of the 2026 draft being a down year, there were some interesting (if not comical) trends to be found. Quarterbacks We always knew Fernando Mendoza was going 1.01 to the Raiders, as a result his ADP saw very little movement. I could have seen an upward swing if the Raiders added talent in the passing game to surround Mendoza with weapons, but all they added was Jalen Nailor . On the other hand, in the case of Ty Simpson , there were rumblings that he could be a late first-round pick, and instead he went early in the first round. You can see the reaction to the Rams’ use of early draft capital in his fantasy ADP as he climbed approximately 50 spots following the NFL Draft. SUBSCRIBE TO DLF PREMIUM!
