Free agency is winding down and we are gearing up for the NFL Draft. Be sure to check out the team livestreaming Day 1 and 2 on the Dynasty Nerds YouTube channel. Click that subscribe button and get in on the action. We still have not had a sixth quarterback drafted, but the tight end position is starting to take shape. The running back position is deep and production will vary depending on a pathway to touches.
You can find Round 1 of the Superflex mock draftHERE. Let’s dive into Rounds 2 and 3.
Texas
Roschon has spent his career behind the greatest running back prospect we have seen in a long time. That does not make Roschon a subpar prospect. He has the needed size to be a three-down back in the NFL. Roschon has the ceiling of a bell cow back, meaning he also has a ceiling of being an RB1 for fantasy. – @DanT_NFL
Auburn
— Kenny G. (@Gritz_Blitz) March 31, 2023Tank Bigsby puts a move on Ricks/Anderson in the backfield and shifts gears before turning the corner.
I think he’s the most underrated running back in this draft class. His combination of vision, burst, and lateral quickness should serve him well in the pros. Valuable skillset. pic.twitter.com/JnfsMwEWZf
Bigsby has good vision and hits the hole hard but can get a little impatient. He has enough speed and size to be a workhorse in the NFL. He is more of a check-down option than a true receiving asset on third down. NFL coaching should improve that part of his game. – @culture_coach
Texas A&M
Is Devon Achane too small to warrant significant draft capital, or will his speed and versatility in the passing game win out? I am betting on his upside here. He has outstanding contact balance for his underwhelming stature and vision that can only be bested by Bijan Robinson himself. – @GpodawundFF
Utah
Kincaid is my TE1 in a Superflex league. I love giving myself positional advantages at quarterback and tight end. Kincaid has great hands, an ability to find the open space, and a willingness to block. I would not be surprised if he is a first-round pick in the NFL draft next month. – @timbmartens
TCU
Ignore that TCU didn’t use Miller in the passing game. He’s got fine hands. Plus, he has all the traits you want from a running back. Don’t be shocked if Miller winds up being the RB3/4 in this year’s draft when it’s all said and done. He’s got plenty of upside to selecting him here over riskier backs. – @DarthDbacks
Notre Dame
I’ll wind up with quite a few shares of Michael Mayer. While the consensus chases long-shot plays at running back or wide receiver, I’m more than content to ‘settle’ with a versatile tight end with first-round buzz and also just so happens to hold Notre Dame school records for receptions, yards, and touchdowns at the position. – @Spydes78
Syracuse
Sean Tucker has become a polarizing prospect in this year’s draft class. Tucker has good strength and overall athleticism. One issue is that sometimes he is indecisive behind the line of scrimmage. If he worked on that and his pass protection, I would feel more comfortable drafting him even higher than I am in this mock draft. – @dropthemikeFF
Tulane
— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) March 29, 2023More tape on #Tulane RB Tyjae Spears…
Elusive at the second-level. Cuts down defensive angles in space. pic.twitter.com/bLcPiln75v
A major winner of the Senior Bowl, Spears has been thrust into the spotlight of a disputable running back class following the top three. Spears has good size, game speed, and shiftiness in the open field, making him difficult to tackle. Draft capital will determine his value, but he’s currently a steal at the back end of the second. – @FF_TJHernandez
Oregon State
Musgrave is an elite athlete at the position that will be a matchup nightmare for teams. He should find snaps almost immediately. Injuries derailed his production, but he is the last of the surefire big play guys at tight end. – Ryan Wilhelm
Tennessee
Admittedly, I’m not the biggest fan of Hyatt, but at this point, with his expected draft capital, this feels like immense value. Hyatt is a burner and can track the ball with the best of them. He wasn’t asked to run many different routes, but his tape hints that he may be more versatile than just a deep threat. – @ffpeebleschamp
Tennessee
Some Hendon Hooker highlights while we wait on FA News. He may be an older prospect, but sometimes QBs just have their lightbulb moment and find it. If not for his ACL injury he’d be talked about more as a 1st Rounder. Hooker is the QB sleeper of this draft. pic.twitter.com/A0Ag4PTn5p
— Kyle Lindemann (@LuckIsMadeFF) March 13, 2023
Hendon Hooker is a player who I feel has been underrated all off-season. While I understand the concerns about his age and ACL injury, they seem blown out of proportion. At Tennsese, Hooker showed excellent accuracy, pocket presence, and rushing upside. In a Superflex format. I want as much upside as possible near the end of the second round. – @SteveBradshawFF
SMU
Rashee Rice has the NFL receiver build you want. He doesn’t offer top-end speed, but he has fantastic ball skills to make up for it. Rice developed well over his time in college and could be a steal at this point of the draft. He also can create yards after the catch, which is all we want in fantasy. –@coachstevenp
Oklahoma
Marvin Mims was an extremely productive receiver at the University of Oklahoma. He was successful with three separate quarterbacks throughout his career, which was capped by a 2022 season where he broke a thousand yards receiving. – @DanT_NFL
Tennessee
Cedric Tillman is a big, rugged receiver who catches the ball well in traffic. He will need to improve his get-off when pressed at the line of scrimmage to achieve his full potential. – @culture_coach
UAB
A name that I haven’t heard as of late is Dwayne Mcbride, nice pairing of contact balance and short area speed. #FantasyFootball pic.twitter.com/phkC3lKGJf
— Jeremy (@PopesFFH) February 6, 2023
DeWayne McBride is the pinnacle of contact balance. He possesses the long speed, quick feet, and physicality required to be an early down back. McBride has little lateral agility and no receiving profile, with only five career catches. – @GpodawundFF
Illinois
Coming off a 1600+ yard, 13 touchdown senior season, Brown ran a 4.43 40 at the combine. He is a strong back with good hands who could look like a steal in the third round a few years from now. – @timbmartens
Pitt
Abanikanda is certainly a risk here, but it’s the third round. He’s a strong rusher that has a ton of upside. It’s easy to see him become an RB3 in dynasty by the end of this year. – @DarthDbacks
Ole Miss
— Snoog’s Dynasty Society 📖( Alex) (@FFSnoog) March 29, 2023Happy Zach Evans Pro Day🍻
Top 5 RB🔒 pic.twitter.com/FXgsJpePZF
The forgotten man among 2023 running back prospects, Evans packs a ton of upside. With speed to the edge and power to engage tacklers, Evans could ascend into an early down role. I like that type of gamble at 3.06. – @Spydes78
Oklahoma
Eric Gray is an aggressive type of runner and has decent contact balance. He can be a change of pace running back in the right situation. One knock against him is that he is a 24-year-old prospect. – @dropthemikeFF
Georgia
Washington has all the tools to be a complete tight end. He has great size and athleticism. I think Washington can get on the field immediately and that’s a steal at the end of the third. – @FF_TJHernandez
Georgia
McIntosh put up good numbers rushing and can carve out a role there. But what is so enticing about him is that he should immediately see the field due to his receiving and pass blocking. – Ryan Wilhelm
BYU
Nacua has good ball skills, can win with physicality, and knows how to stack defensive backs. He has a chance to be a late pick that can have fantasy production. Worth a shot late. – @ffpeebleschamp
LSU
I have one goal—draft for upside, upside, and more upside. Kayshon Boutte is not a phenomenal prospect, but he’s worth a shot at the 3.11. Boutte had a terrible combine which has caused him to plummet in rankings. – @SteveBradshawFF
Northwestern
— Brennen Rupp (@Brennen_Rupp) March 31, 2023Unpacking Future Packers: No. 31 Evan Hull
Check out why the Northwestern RB could be a day three target for the Packers. https://t.co/YrR56rd9hD pic.twitter.com/tTo7Ypg74P
Hull has been doing everything right in this draft process. He has good vision as a runner and can be a threat in the passing game. He has low mileage in this college and could be a sneak three-down player. –@coachstevenp
