Superflex Rookie Mock Draft – Round 3

Round 2 Results

3.01 Greg Dulcich

TE – UCLA

I thought about Pierce or Strong in this spot and based on the next two picks I wasn’t the only one. However in the end I selected Greg Dulcich because while he may not be a Kyle Pitts level prospect he still profiles as a very athletic and explosive tight and I believe he is the safest pick at tight in this class. To be able to get better at three positions with the three of the best prospects at each position is about as best-case scenario as you can ask for in a draft.

3.02 Alec Pierce

WR – Cincinnati 

This far into the draft, these third-round picks are dart throws here. I picked who I thought was the 26th best player in Alec Pierce here. This is also a  draft class where we damn well know there won’t be 26 impact fantasy players. It takes a special kind of bad to mess it up this far into the draft.

3.03 Pierre Strong

RB – South Dakota State

Pierre Strong is one of those diamond in the rough guys that I love to root for. Before the off-season, we were looking at a guy who may or may not get drafted. But after blowing up the Shrine Bowl and killing the combine with his position leading 4.37 40, teams started to double back on their notes. What they will find is an explosive runner with clear breakaway speed, an above-average blocker, and proficiency in the receiving game. His comp for me is a faster James Robinson, who has enough to be successful at the next level given the right opportunity.

3.04 Kyren Williams

RB – Notre Dame

Getting a potential three-down back this late in a rookie draft is absurd. Aside from his lack of top-end speed, he’s got all the tools to start right away in the NFL. His feet are always moving which allows him to get that extra yard or two when needed. He’s arguably the best pass-blocking running back in the draft, which will keep him on the field more. This really feels like a steal after taking a quarterback and a wide receiver in the first two rounds.

3.05 Tyler Badie

RB – Missouri

Tyler Badie is the PPR monster of tomorrow. While he may never be an every-week starter at running back, he does have the upside to be a solid Flex option at some point in his career. Running backs with pass-catching upside always make for fantastic depth on a dynasty roster.

In recent memory, guys like JD McKissic, Nyheim Hines, and Tarik Cohen have all been able to put up at least one top-20 running back season. There’s a place for a guy like that on everyone’s roster, and I think that’s exactly what we’ll be getting with Badie. I definitely want to see where he lands on draft day, but a 3rd-down role is imminent for him and at pick #30, I’m just happy to get a guy that will actually see the field.

3.06 Brian Robinson

RB – Alabama

When you’re a running back at the University of Alabama you run the risk of having to wait a while to get your shot at being the bell cow. Brian Robinson stayed ready while Josh Jacobs, Damien Harris, and last year’s Round 1 selection Najee Harris performed in front of him. Finally earning his shot in 2021, Robinson eclipsed 1,300 yards on the ground and nearly 300 receiving en route to 16 scores.

Robinson is a punishing runner and that physicality would find him welcome in any gap scheme. He also possesses remarkably quick feet for a back his size (6’1, 225) which would allow him to remain comfortable when zone concepts are called. If Robinson’s name is called early on Day 3 of the NFL Draft this pick will be a popular one in dynasty rookie drafts.

3.07 Khalil Shakir

WR – Boise State

Shakir is a solid wide receiver out of Boise State who has good vision, solid contact balance, and can really make things happen after the catch. He’s not someone with a ton of upside necessarily, but if he lands on a spot where he can play out of the slot and be a team’s WR3, he could be a solid fantasy asset. Don’t expect big numbers or a ton of upside, but in the third round, I love this value here for a very solid wideout.

3.08 Tyler Allgeier

RB – BYU

Coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons at BYU, Allgeier was someone who had great “sleeper” hype. He averaged 6.4 YPC, along with a whopping 23 rushing touchdowns in his senior year. He comes in at a good size at 5’11, 220-pounds and has some great vision, and can make that clear cut to break away. After putting up some unimpressive Combine results, the hype for Allgeier has disappeared. I’m taking advantage of that. If he has an early opportunity to get some playing time in the NFL, he could be a steal in the third.

3.09 Jalen Tolbert

WR – South Alabama

Jalen Tolbert is 6’3 190-pounds and profiles as a good deep to intermediate route runner and red zone threat. He ran a decent 4.49 40 time as well. His knocks are that he was a super-senior, and will be entering the NFL at 23.5 years old. His best comps are Greg Jennings and Mike Sims-Walker, while his floor is, well, any taller wide receiver that’s flamed out from the top-100 picks in previous years, which is where he’s expected to be drafted.

3.10 Kevin Harris

RB – South Carolina

Kevin Harris is one of those few running backs that can be a three-down back. In 2020 as a sophomore, Harris broke out and had 185 attempts for 1,138 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, along with 21 receptions for 159 yards and another touchdown. The usage from 2020 resulted in Harris needing back surgery. Recovering from the surgery kept Harris off the field for most of spring and summer workouts and hampered him throughout the season. Still leading the team in attempts with 152, yards with 660, and touchdowns with four. That being said, he was a shadow of himself. If he can regain his sophomore breakout, he could be a major sleeper in dynasty drafts.

3.11 Carson Strong

QB – Nevada

At this point in the draft, some of the guys I was eyeing to snag late have already gone, and being that this is a Superflex league, I chose just to take a quarterback. Carson Strong is a true pocket passer, with very limited rushing upside. That being said, he’s still an interesting prospect and I would definitely consider him high landing spot dependent. A great spot would be somewhere like Indianapolis and learn from a guy like Matt Ryan and see where that leads.

3.12 Jerome Ford

RB – Cincinnati 

Former Bearcat running back Jerome Ford is a solid runner that shows good second-level vision and patience. He is a tough runner that shows good drive from his lower body. Some of the knocks against him include a lack of top-tier elusiveness and is just average in overall burst and acceleration. He did post a 4.46 40-yard dash giving him the ability to use that second-level vision for chunk plays. He is an above-average pass catcher and could get early NFL work as a change of pace or third-down back.
