2027 Way-Too-Early Dynasty Rookie Superflex Mock Draft
Taking Ricky Bobby’s dad’s advice to heart and twisting it into something for dynasty purposes: if you’re not looking a year ahead, you’re behind. It’s a little early to be thinking about the 2027 rookie class; after all, the 2026 season is still months away. But 2027 rookie picks are some of the most valuable assets in our game right now. Seriously, try trading for one in your league. Unless you’re offering a top-30 startup player, good luck prying that pick from a manager’s hands. With that in mind, I wanted to take a stab at what the first round of a 2027 dynasty rookie superflex draft might look like around this time next year. Alright, this is why dynasty managers have been trying to sell their souls for 2027 first-round picks over the last two years. Jeremiah Smith is the white whale of this draft. The kid walked into Ohio State as a true freshman and reeled in 76 catches for 1,311 yards and 15 touchdowns. He did that with Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate on the roster, both of whom were top 20 selections in their respective drafts. Jeremiah Smith 2025 Highlights. Some might say “Generational”. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/lZ4DXJA9Bj — Football Performances (@NFLPerformances) April 29, 2026 Last season was more of the same, as Smith racked up 87 receptions for 1,243 yards and 12 scores. He is a stat machine and should be an absolute stud at the next level. He’s a prospect with a Ja’Marr Chase- or Justin Jefferson-type ceiling. Any manager who even has a realistic chance at the 1.01 should be doing whatever they can to secure that pick. You’ll either get a true generational talent or be able to flip it for a massive, roster-altering haul. If Arch Manning turns pro after the 2026 season, I’m assuming it’s because he had an impressive campaign. And if that happens, the Manning name will be too much of an allure for both NFL teams and dynasty managers alike. Manning struggled at times against elite competition in his first year as a starter, but did end the season with some solid stats: 3,163 passing yards, 399 rushing yards, with 26 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing scores. Obviously, he has the pedigree; he just needs to improve his processing and decision-making. If Manning does that, he’ll be a top-three pick in both the NFL Draft and superflex rookie drafts. In a surprise move, Dante Moore decided not to enter the 2026 Draft and stayed at Oregon for another season. Ballsy move, as he likely would’ve been the No. 2 overall pick behind Fernando Mendoza. Moore was uber-impressive in 2025, completing 71.8% of his throws for 3,565 yards with 30 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has a lightning-fast release and excellent ball placement at all three levels. Unfortunately, Moore is not much of a rusher, so his fantasy upside is capped. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 204 pounds, he profiles more like a C.J. Stroud than a Jayden Daniels. Tired of bad quarterback play at Auburn, Cam Coleman is headed to Texas to play with Manning. Standing at 6-foot-3, he’s your classic X receiver — and a dangerous one at that. Coleman is a major threat down the field and in the red zone thanks to his hops and ball-tracking ability. If he takes a step forward and surpasses his 708 yards and five touchdowns from last season, Coleman has a chance to be a high draft pick next April. He’ll only be 20 years old this time next year, so there’s a lengthy (and hopefully productive) career ahead of Coleman at the pro level. This kid burst onto the scene and took the SEC by storm as a sophomore last year. He had 335 total touches, rushing for 1,567 yards and chipping in 177 through the air. His 24 rushing touchdowns were third all-time in SEC history, behind only Najee Harris (25) and Derrick Henry (28). Kewan Lacy is better than every running back in the NFL Draft and he’s not even the top back in the SEC. pic.twitter.com/a0Oj9vCUsp — SEC Numbers Guy (@secnumbersguy) April 23, 2026 At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, KewanLacy isn’t the biggest back — so, [... truncated ...]
