![]() Although Geno Smith has started the 2022 playing very well, I think the Seahawks would be an excellent landing spot for Stroud, where he would have DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett to make plays for him down the field. He’s got a solid arm, good athleticism and makes very good decisions with the ball. As he demonstrated in the Rose Bowl last year, he seems unflappable under pressure, which is a key trait NFL decision-makers love. Still, Stroud is very good at taking advantage of defensive weaknesses and play-calling lapses with big plays. ![]() and Emeka Egbuka playing on your team, that task becomes easier. Of course, when you have Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr. Stroud has almost 1,400 passing yards and 18 touchdown passes in five games in 2022, and he has shown more of a propensity for pushing the ball down the field than Young has. The allure of Bijan is real, but in Superflex, you cannot leave a quarterback like Stroud on the board, especially if he is picked in the top three in the real life NFL Draft. With Young going off the board first in our 2023 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft, Stroud is a somewhat easy pick here at No. Young will need to develop further to reach that lofty comparison, but imagine if he landed in a spot like Detroit where he could operate behind an elite offensive line and simply be tasked with quickly getting the ball into the hands of the many play-makers in that offense, something Young would excel at. Young reminds me of a more athletic Drew Brees at times, smoothly commanding his offense like a symphony orchestra despite not being blessed with as much high end receiver talent as some Crimson Tide quarterbacks over the years. ![]() While Young has a tendency to shy away from throwing risky “50/50” balls down the field at times, the fact that he takes care of the football and tries to avoid risky throws is admirable and something that NFL coaches will love. His ball placement is more consistent than Stroud at this point as well. He makes quick, decisive throws in rhythm, which is going to be important in the NFL. Young seems to me to be the more instinctual quarterback and quicker to decipher defenses pre-snap. I still lean Young despite all the valid reasons that many mock drafts have Stroud ahead of him. And as of today, that choice comes down to C.J. If we’re playing Superflex, I’m taking a quarterback here at 1.01 despite the greatness at running back and wide receiver at the top end of this 2023 class. Now, without further ado, here is how I rank this loaded 2023 rookie class in Superflex at this point in time: Obviously, many of these players will move up the list, down the list, or be removed from the list entirely based on how this upcoming college football season goes. The hype for this class is already in full-gear, and the perceived strength of this 2023 group has definitely been on the minds of many dynasty managers when making trades involving 2023 rookie picks.Īt this point of the season when 2023 rookie drafts are still far away from our collective radar, we don’t have full athletic testing numbers or NFL landing spots that will ultimately help shape the hierarchy of next year’s prospects leading up to 2023 rookie drafts. And so, rather than a true mock draft (where positional fit might carry more weight during rookie drafts), let this serve more as a “Power Rankings” list of the most valuable 2023 prospects at this point in time in my humble opinion. We feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K and DST with six reserves for a 16-round draft.Now that both the NFL and college football seasons are well under way, it is as good a time as any to gauge how this vaunted 2023 NFL draft class stacks up for fantasy with our initial 2023 Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft. We also award one point for every reception. In this league, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. ![]() You will also be rewarded with Fantasy knowledge - and hopefully a championship - if you follow their advice. The analysts here are unbelievable at what they do, and I'm thankful they took the time to help us with this draft and the Draft-A-Thon. Study this mock draft and each of the teams, especially if you know your draft slot.
