The summer solstice is later this week, marking the official start of the season. However, something just as exciting is on the horizon: fantasy football drafts.
Our team of reporters, analysts and editors at USA TODAY Sports came together to make their picks. It’s always fascinating to see where top rookies like Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty and Tetairoa McMillan are selected.
Mock drafts are a helpful tool for deciphering position value. Some years, wide receivers fly off of the board, while mocks can also be an identifier of the running backs who are most highly coveted.
It’s never too early to start preparing for the fantasy football season. Our first 10-team mock draft will help you gain the upper hand over your league mates.
This mock draft featured the following participants, listed in order of their first-round selections: Tom Viera, Steve Gardner, Sherlon Christie, Jack McKessy, Jacob Camenker, Ayrton Ostly, Casey Moore, Jon Hoefling, Elisha Twerski and Nick Brinkerhoff.
