This week's Mock Draft Monday featured a double-flex, superflex format with 12 teams drafting 18 roster spots each. Quarterbacks dominated the early first round, with Josh Allen going first overall. As a result, top running backs and receivers slid: Bijan Robinson went seventh, Jahmyr Gibbs eighth, and Puka Nacua ninth. The QB-heavy run continued into Round 2, with nine of the first 12 picks being signal-callers, pushing star skill players to the back of the first round.

The draft also saw Luther Burden III fall due to a groin injury reported by Adam Schefter just before the start. How teams approached shoring up their QB2 spot was interesting, given the depth of the position. The player pool thinned significantly by the later rounds, making each pick crucial.

Participants in this mock included Eric Moody, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Daniel Dopp, David Presley, Eric Karabell, Liz Loza, Field Yates, Matt Bowen, Tyler Fulghum, Cameron Wolfe, Mike Clay, and Kevin Pulsifer. The early QB run reshaped typical draft strategies, offering lessons for those in superflex leagues.
