The 2023 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, and dynasty rookie drafts have commenced. It's never too early to look ahead to the next class, as capitalizing on draft pick value is essential when constructing a dynasty roster.

To help prepare you for what's coming, Jeff Bell, Kevin Coleman, and Christian Williams conducted this two-round 2024 Superflex rookie mock draft. Late risers will inevitably infiltrate this list, and some players will return to school for their 2024 season. Still, an eye on the future can be advantageous, and this is how the Footballguys College Football Show hosts currently project the first two rounds.

Round One

1.01 - Caleb Williams (QB - USC)

Jeff Bell: Williams' hype is set to ascend to historic levels, making this one of the most valuable rookie Superflex picks in years. He has the athleticism teams crave at the position, is a high-level processor, and checks every box with accuracy and arm talent.

1.02 - Marvin Harrison Jr (WR - Ohio State)

Kevin Coleman: Out of every pick in the first round, Harrison seems like the safest option. The Ohio State receiver is a lock for top-10 draft capital next season as long as he stays healthy. Harrison would have been the #1 receiver in the 2023 class. He has exceptional ball skills and some of the country's best hands. The scary part about Harrison is he should continue to develop and could be valued as a top-3 dynasty asset at the wide receiver position as soon as he is drafted.

1.03 - Drake Maye (QB - North Carolina)

Christian Williams: While projecting quarterback performance is often difficult, the North Carolina signal-caller is being discussed with Caleb Williams as in contention for the No. 1 overall pick. His blend of football IQ, arm talent, and dual-threat ability have garnered Justin Herbert comparisons, and Maye should hear his name called early in the 2024 NFL Draft.

1.04 -Brock Bowers (TE- Georgia)

Jeff Bell: Bowers is the hardest player to place in the class. His athleticism is exceptional, and he was a day one tight end producer in the SEC. But his size falls outside of traditional position norms. The influx of tight ends in the 2023 class and teams' ability to transition to two more tight end sets is a key, as Bowers will never be a traditional inline tight end. But if teams can develop the position into primary weapons, Bowers can potentially usher in a new wave of offensive weapons. Or he could be viewed as a tweener, which would cause him to slide down boards.

1.05 - Emeka Egbuka (WR - Ohio State)

Kevin Coleman: Egbuka is currently rated as the WR2 in the class and has one of the safest floors of any prospect in this class. He should play in the slot at the next level and has excellent short-area quickness. He's explosive and developed into one of the most consistent players on the Buckeyes roster in 2022. When looking for receivers to draft, taking an Ohio State Buckeye is about as safe of a bet as you can make in fantasy.

1.06 - Xavier Worthy (WR - Texas)

Christian Williams: Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Xavier Worthy has been tremendous for the Texas Longhorns. His ability to create separation is unmatched in a strong class of wideouts, and his ball-tracking ability on deep throws is incredibly refined. Worthy's ability to separate, combined with what is expected to be a big year for him and Quinn Ewers, should vault him into top-20 conversations.

1.07 - Raheim Sanders (RB - Arkansas)

Jeff Bell: Sanders checks all the boxes as a three-down back, topping 1,700 total yards in his second season. His 6-foot-2, 225-pound frame evokes visions of backs like DeMarco Murray, and he arrives into a landscape that has trended toward committee usage. This class is deep at running back, and any of the top options can emerge as the RB1, but currently, Sanders is the best combination of size, athleticism, and production.

1.08 - TreVeyon Henderson (RB - Ohio State)

Kevin Coleman: After his freshman season, many said that Henderson could challenge Bijan Robinson as the best player in college football in 2022. Unfortunately for Henderson, a foot injury knocked him out for most of the season, and many have forgotten just how good of a prospect he is. When healthy, he's easily one of the most explosive backs in the country and is a natural receiver. There are not a lot of 3-down backs in football anymore, but Henderson checks all the boxes. Look for him to shoot up draft boards as the 2023 season progresses.

1.09 - Trey Benson (RB - Florida State)

Christian Williams: Despite seeing the field much less than the two running backs ahead of him, Trey Benson has some of the best film in the 2024 class. Benson blends elite burst with NFL size and traits, displaying exquisite vision and refined pass-catching technique. Benson should vault up draft boards this fall and remain in contention for the class's No. 1 running back spot.

1.10 - Will Shipley (RB - Clemson)

Jeff Bell: Shipley was the highlight in a Clemson offense that struggled for the second consecutive season. He is a natural receiver and profiles well into a passing role at a minimum and the three-down back with continued physical development. With Cade Klubnik taking over at quarterback, the Clemson offense should improve dramatically, and Shipley will be at the center.

1.11 - Malik Nabers (WR - LSU)

Kevin Coleman: While everyone assumed Kayshon Boutte would return from an injury and take over the LSU wide receiver room in 2022, the real breakout came from Nabers. He caught 72 balls for 1,017 yards and three touchdowns, and had he had a better quarterback, we could have seen even bigger numbers. He is one of the best deep threats in this class, and his catch radius is off the charts. He would be a smash pick when looking for a high-upside athletic option late in the first and has enough talent to be the WR3 of this class.

1.12 - Troy Franklin (WR - Oregon)

Christian Williams: Troy Franklin finally broke out in 2022, accumulating 891 yards on 61 catches and nine touchdowns. While the 2023 class had many wideouts with a smaller stature, Franklin is of the "tall but slender" mold. Still, he's an elite athlete who should light up the NFL Combine, projecting to run sub-4.4 while standing at 6-foot-3. Considering his ability to track the ball and display strong hands at all three field levels with that athleticism, he has a profile consistent with a top-50 pick.
