As we close out June and prepare to dive into the last stage of the NFL offseason, what better way to celebrate the show returning to shows three days a week than with a MOCK DRAFT? Andy , Mike , and Jason took to the draft room alongside the Ducers, the Borg , the Fantasy PT , and a handful of staff writers to fine-tune their draft skills. Jason drew the 1.05, Mike drafted from the 1.07, and Andy sat near the turn at the 1.11. This mock draft used the following setting: 12 teams, 0.5 PPR starting 1QB, 2RB, 3WR , 1TE, and a FLEX with four bench spots. It’s better to get caught up before your league mates during the offseason, so make sure to find The Fantasy Footballers Podcast on all of your devices!

Round 1 Jason (1.05) – Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, SEA) Mike (1.07) – CeeDee Lamb (WR, DAL) Andy (1.11) – AJ Brown (WR, NE) The guys get things kicked off in the first round of this mock draft, going three for three at the WR position. Getting a WR to start the draft in a format where we start three WRs helps set up the guys’ rosters to not be behind at a position where the elites dry up quickly, and getting solid depth will be even harder with every team needing to fill those spots. Each of the Ballers gets a bona fide WR1 for their squads, but Andy took maybe the biggest bet, getting AJ Brown at the end of the round. It’s worth noting that eight WRs and four RBs went to start the draft across the league. Round 2 Andrew Nelles / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Andy (2.02) – James Cook (RB, BUF) Mike (2.06) – De’Von Achane (RB, MIA) Jason (2.08) – Nico Collins (WR, HOU) There were a couple of different strategies that began to unfold in the second round, with Andy and Mike grabbing an RB each and Jason doubling up on WRs to start his draft. Mike got a great value nabbing De’von Achane in the middle of the round, choosing him over his beloved Chase Brown . Jason’s double-dip at WR sets him up to focus on adding to his RB room through the next few rounds. Round 2 also saw the first TE go off the board with Brock Bowers going at 2.10, just behind his current ADP. Across the board, we see five different teams that doubled up at the same position, with three teams double-tapping RB and two stacking WRs. Round 3 Jason (3.05) – Josh Jacobs (RB, GB) Mike (3.07) – Rashee Rice (WR, KC) Andy (3.11) – Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) In Round 3, Andy and Mike matched again, both taking WRs again, while Jason grabbed his first RB. Jason felt like he got a bit of value drafting Josh Jacobs at the 3.05, mainly due to the uncertainty around Jacobs’ legal situation, but after drafting two WRs to start the draft, Jason got an RB with top-10 potential to add to his squad. Mike also ended the slide for another player with legal questions in Rashee Rice . Andy was sniped by Betz, hoping that Trey McBride would fall to the back of the third, but settled for Garrett Wilson . While there is concern about what Wilson can be with the uncertainty around the offense in New York, getting him as a late third-round pick and a team’s WR2 helps mitigate some of the risk Andy’s getting with him being in a stinky situation. Round 4 Andy (4.02) – Colston Loveland (TE, CHI) Mike (4.06) – Zay Flowers (WR, BAL) Jason (4.08) – Cam Skattebo (RB, NYG) Andy didn’t wait long to address his TE spot after missing out on McBride, nabbing Colsto…
