Some of you have put serious time and effort into accumulating 2027 Rookie Draft Picks, betting that next year’s NFL Draft would be borderline generational, especially at quarterback and wide receiver. We don’t yet know exactly what that class will look like. Rumors of star players returning to school could keep them out of the NFL Draft (Drew Mestemaker, Arch Manning). Injuries and unfortunate life events get in the way (sorry, Ahmad Hardy). As with every rookie class, new stars will emerge, and once-sure things will falter.
That uncertainty is what makes a mock draft fun, and at Dynasty Football Factory, we’re here for it. So let’s take a crack at our first official 2027 Superflex, Tight End Premium Rookie Mock Draft.
1.01 Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State – @jim_DFF
There’s no reason to overthink this one. Jeremiah Smith is exactly why dynasty owners are tanking harder than ever this season. He’s a lock to win the Biletnikoff and may even win the Heisman. We’re not just talking about the best receiver in college football today; we’re talking about the greatest WR prospect in college football history. I fully expect Smith to be the consensus dynasty WR2 overall next spring, behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
1.02 Jadan Baugh, RB, Florida – @fantasybuff_
Jadan Baugh to secures me the undisputed RB1 of the 2027 class and a rare, first-round NFL workhorse back. At 6’1” and 230 lbs., he’s a tackle breaking battering ram, that brutally imposes his will, a total package as a running back.
1.03 Darian Mensah, QB, Miami – @DynastyFFWolf
Mensah appears to be on the Cam Ward and Carson Beck — transfer to Miami and have enough success in a lone season to get drafted highly. He likely won’t go No. 1 as Ward did, but he’s cemented himself as a first-round pick with his insane play this year. Mensah is completing an absurd 76.8% of his passes and sports a ridiculous 28-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He’s a little slight-framed, but that might not matter if he can continue racking up video game numbers. If Mensah can keep Miami near the top of the rankings while star receiver Malachi Toney is sidelined with an injury, he’ll be one of the first quarterbacks off the board next year.
1.04 Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana – @joshreedy5
Big boundary X receiver. He is 6”4 and runs in the 4.4s. High points the ball and wins contested targets. He has outstanding hands and is a deep ball threat. He averaged 20 yards per catch in 2025. So far this year, he has nine touchdowns already and is averaging 17.5 yards per catch. Projected top-10 pick in the draft and the second wide receiver off the board.
1.05 Drew Mestemaker, QB, Oklahoma State – @force_fantasy
Josh Allen is the comp going around for Mestemaker. If that is within the range of outcomes, drafting him at the 1.05 would be robbery. This is a player who didn’t even start at QB for his high school team. Now just a few years later, he is the favorite to be the first QB drafted. His skills are raw. His talent, undeniable.
1.06 Cam Coleman, WR, Texas – @DFF_MR
Cam Coleman hasn’t delivered the breakout many expected after transferring to Texas to play with Arch Manning. Nagging injuries, inconsistent play (especially drops), and below-average quarterback play from Manning have dropped the presumed preseason 1.02 to the middle of the pack. Still, at 6’3″ and 205 lbs. with a wide catch radius and prototypical X receiver size, Coleman projects as a first-round NFL Draft WR. If he cleans up the rough edges, he should translate well to the next level.
1.07 Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss – @jim_DFF
I’ll admit, I was skeptical of Chambliss as a Devy asset coming into this season. The fact he fought as hard as he did for another year of eligibility instead of declaring in a weak 2026 quarterback class was concerning to me. But he’s played well enough this season to put most of those concerns to bed.
Chambliss is a gamer with an above-average arm and legitimate wheels, and doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. He’s shown some signs of weakness (namely in the Texas matchup), but who hasn’t at this point? If Chambliss is a first-round selection this April, I think his playstyle makes a smash at the 1.07.
1.08 Reed Harris, WR, Arizona State – @fantasybuff_
Reed Harris is amazing at maximizing his physical traits. Listed at 6’5″, 220 lbs., Harris knows how to use his frame and catch radius to beat defenders and win 50/50 balls; his impressive speed for his size allows him to challenge defenses over the top. He can line up on the outside as the X, but does a lot of damage in the slot! What we call a mismatch nightmare!
1.09 KJ Duff, WR, Rutgers – @DynastyFFWolf
Dude is a 6’6” behemoth who doesn’t turn 21 for another month. Duff topped 1,000 yards last year and is even better this season. He’s averaging 17.2 yards per catch and has nine touchdowns already. Whoever drafts him is going to get a contested-catch monster on the outside, one capable of elevating an offense thanks to his red zone and downfield capabilities.
1.10 Kewan Lacy, RB, Mississippi – @joshreedy5
Three-down running back projected to be a second-round draft pick. Projected to be the number 2 running back drafted next draft behind only Jadan Baugh. Home run speed mixed with workhorse durability. He forced 89 missed tackles in 2025. His vision is incredible. Averaged 5.1 yards per carry in 2025 and 5.0 this season. Had 24 rushing touchdowns and 29 receptions last year. Can do it all.
1.11 Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana – @force_fantasy
Indiana is on a WR bender. Last year, Omar Cooper and Elijah Sarrat were drafted into the league. This year, they may have two first-rounders with Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh.
Marsh erupted onto the scene his freshman year at Michigan St. with a stellar 649-yard campaign. Injuries and surrounding cast limited his ascension his sophomore year, resulting in the transfer to Indiana. This year, he is back to raising his draft stock. His 2.95 yards per route run is a solid predictor of his future NFL efficiency.
1.12 LaNorris Seller, QB, South Carolina – @DFF_MR
Devy QBs are a uniquely frustrating bunch. A prospect strikes a chord, then crumbles under the weight of expectation. Rarely does one follow the arc of LaNorris Sellers: first looking like Dynasty Fantasy Football’s next Lamar Jackson, then turning into DJ Uiagalelei over the course of a season, only to win his way back into the good graces of a top 12 Rookie Pick.
Sellers has played his way back into the conversation over the last month and will keep climbing both the Devy Rankings and NFL Draft boards if he finishes strong. His elite running ability and monster arm strength are dream traits. But will they translate on Sundays, or is he simply Anthony Richardson with more football under his belt? I choose to believe the former, at least for this exercise and at least until my heart is broken again.
2.01 Ryan Coleman Williams, WR, Alabama – @jim_DFF
RCW has missed some time this season due to a minor knee injury, but has otherwise been fairly impressive when he’s played. There was once a time when Coleman-Williams was being discussed as the clear WR2 of his class, behind Jeremiah Smith. While that’s no longer the discussion in Devy circles, the ceiling is still there.
RCW brings the speed, fluidity, and YAC ability that NFL scouts are going to love. I see him as a similar player to Jameson Williams at the NFL level. He may not be a target monster, but his skill set should bring the potential for pretty big spike weeks.
2.02 Jayden Maiava, QB, USC – @fantasybuff_
I consider Jayden Maiava a safe bet as a quarterback. I’m capitalizing on a high-floor value pick. A Lincoln Riley quarterback is one of the safest bets for fantasy production. At 6’4″ and 230 lbs., he has a big arm with serious velocity.
2.03 Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia – @DynastyFFWolf
The stats aren’t eye-popping for the junior Bulldawg, but Nate Frazier has all the tools that NFL teams love. He’s built like Jahmyr Gibbs, with a three-down skillset. After rushing for 947 yards and six touchdowns last year, Frazier is averaging 6.4 yards per carry with six touchdowns already this season. Billed as one of the fastest running backs in the country, Frazier could be a high Day 2 selection in April if his athleticism shines at the NFL Combine.
2.04 C.J. Carr, QB, Notre Dame – @joshreedy5
Projected to be the third quarterback drafted in the top 10. The biggest question mark is whether he comes out. Pocket quarterback with great deep ball and quick release. Throws a great back shoulder throw. He protects the ball and himself. He has 18 passing touchdowns to 1 interception so far this season and has only taken 2 sacks. He’s definitely not a rushing quarterback, but he’s not a statue either. He can scramble a little when he needs to.
2.05 Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon – @force_fantasy
There are two tight ends generally thought to be at the top of boards for the NFL Draft. Trey’Dez Green and my pick at 2.05, Jamari Johnson. I went with Johnson as the more complete NFL-ready tight end. Behind first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq, last year he was still able to muster up 510 yards receiving and a stout 2.45 yards per route run. Given his blocking prowess, he should be on the field a lot immediately. He has some Tucker Kraft to his game.
2.06 Trey’Dez Green, TE, LSU – @DFF_MR
Given how the board fell, I would’ve taken Jamari Johnson here if Chris hadn’t selected him at 2.05. But we’re in the tight end run of our mock, and I’m happy with the Bayou Bengal. At 6’7″ and roughly 240 lbs., Trey’Dez Green is a monster target and has emerged as the premier weapon for Sam Leavitt and the LSU offense. After a mid-season knee injury that sidelined him for a few games, we might be talking about Green as a top-10-to-12 rookie pick in 2027.
Green pairs soft hands with elite speed for the position. His reported 4.55 40 [confirm source] puts him in the neighborhood of Kyle Pitts, but without the college hype and Rookie Fever that came with Pitts. That should work in Green’s favor, and in favor of Dynasty managers who can land him at [pick number], similar to where Harold Fannin Jr. went in 2025 rookie drafts. With tight end premium scoring, I’d be thrilled to get him anywhere in the mid-second round.
2.07 Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville – @jim_DFF
The discourse surrounding Isaac Brown in Devy circles has been overwhelmingly negative this year, but if you look at his underlying metrics, they’re actually quite good. Through Week 9, he’s sitting at 7.6 yards per attempt, a 34% juke rate, and a 68% breakaway rate. He’s also been efficient as a pass catcher, with 1.56 yards per route run.
Brown has always been an analytics darling, and his playstyle should give him an excellent fantasy ceiling at the NFL level. He doesn’t project to be a workhorse, and he doesn’t have the greatest success rate, so there’s plenty of risk. But he’s explosive as hell, and at the 2.07, I’ll gladly take that profile.
2.08 Raleek Brown, RB, Texas – @fantasybuff_
In this Superflex mock format, a massive run on quarterbacks, high-end tight ends, and elite SEC wide receivers pushes this talented running back into the second round. Getting Brown with Day 2 NFL Draft upside at pick 20 overall represents value: Elite Five-Star Pedigree, True Dual-Threat, Proven Elite Ceiling, and, last but not least, Game-Breaking Speed
2.09 Dante Moore, QB, Oregon – @DynastyFFWolf
Poor Dante Moore. Hindsight is 20/20, but he definitely should’ve come out last year. Instead, he went back to Oregon and suffered a nasty concussion against USC that will sideline him for the rest of the 2026 season. He finishes with 658 yards, seven touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Moore’s a pocket-passing point guard, not a dual threat. If he goes to an offense with weapons, he could be a serviceable QB2 for Superflex dynasty managers.
2.10 Ahmad Hardy, RB, Missouri – @joshreedy5
Workhorse running back. No elite speed. Great at breaking tackles. Forced 97 missed tackles in 2026. Great contact balance and a good pass protector. He averaged 6.4 yards per carry last season. Not sure if he declares since he missed most of the season with the gunshot wound. Still projected to be drafted Day 2. Not huge upside in the passing game. I was hoping he would take a big step there this season, but circumstances messed that up.
2.11 Deuce Alexander, WR, Ole Miss – @force_fantasy
Alexander has stepped up as the focal point of the Ole Miss offense for Trinidad Chambliss in the limited availability of Kewan Lacy. Alexander broke out his sophomore year with 684 yards. He has already met that threshold his junior season. He can play outside or slot and has speed to dust opposing defensive backs.
2.12 Wayshawn Parker, RB, Utah – @DFF_MR
Wayshawn Parker has been a model of consistency for Utah, putting up over 700 yards so far this season after posting nearly 1,000 last year. His injury on Saturday puts the rest of his season in doubt, but as an NFL prospect, he brings great size and speed for the position, with a reported 4.5-second 40-yard dash at 5’10” and 205 lbs.
Parker has drawn comparisons to Tony Pollard for his patience as a runner, though his contact balance and breakaway ability give him a case as the more complete back. I could see him climbing to the middle of the second round once rookie drafts begin, but for now I’m happy to take him at 2.12.
