Monday Mocks: 2023 Dynasty Rookie C2C Mock Draft

A few weeks ago, I gathered some team members from here at DLF along with our friends from Campus2Canton to complete an updated look at the 2022 rookie class by taking part in a mock draft. That was so much fun, we got the same gang back together to look ahead to the upcoming rookie class.

While the 2023 rookie crop is not set in stone (the deadline for underclassmen to declare is January 16th) we know enough to start making some decisions about this class.

Here are our mock drafters, in order…

Ryan McDowell, Dynasty League Football
Austin Nace, Campus2Canton
Dan Meylor, Dynasty League Football
Chris Moxley, Campus2Canton
Matt Price, Dynasty League Football
Felix Sharpe, Campus2Canton
Bruce Matson, Dynasty League Football
Matt Bruening, Campus2Canton
Scott Conner, Dynasty League Football
Colin Decker, Campus2Canton
Addison Hayes, Dynasty League Football
Alfred Fernandez, Campus2Canton

Here is our first look at what a superflex, tight end premium dynasty rookie draft might look like in 2023.

Note: At the time of our mock draft, LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte had announced he would remain in school for the upcoming season. He has since changed his mind and will be part of this class. I estimate that he would’ve been a mid-first round selection in this mock draft.

ROUND ONE

1.01 - Bijan Robinson, RB Texas

The easiest pick of the draft is the do-it-all running back from Texas. Robinson has been penciled in as the eventual 1.01 in rookie drafts since he burst onto the scene as a freshman, leading the team with over 700 rushing yards. His numbers improved from there, culminating in a 1,500+ yard, 18-touchdown season this year. It already feels unfair to compare Robinson to his fellow rookies as he has a chance to be valued as the overall dynasty RB1 immediately.
