[2024 Superflex Rookie Mock Draft]() Because it's never too early for a mock draft, Jeff Bell, Kevin Coleman, and Christian Williams conducted this two-round 2024 Superflex rookie mock draft.

[NO - Michael Thomas eyeing training camp]( Source: SaintsWire - Ross Jackson New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (toe) is expected to be 'good to go' for training camp, according to head coach Dennis Allen. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thomas is not yet 100 percent, but putting a timetable on him is something Allen was unwilling to do earlier this year. The team must be getting more clarity on his situation. Thomas has only played in 10 games since the start of the 2020 season, so his ADP is going to be low compared to the potential that he could still have if he's ever healthy and part of the player he used to be. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [ATL - Bijan Robinson under contract](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Atlanta Falcons first-round draft choice RB Bijan Robinson agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Falcons Thursday, May 11, worth $21.96 million, according to sources. The deal includes a fifth-year option. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson can do it all as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. He's got power and speed to his game, and Robinson has a natural feel for rushing lanes which helps him maximize yardage on most every carry. Robinson can line up from the slot if needed to attack a defense as a receiver, and he doesn't need to come off the field. In an era of RBBC, Robinson is a throwback to the true workhorse back. He should lead the way for the Falcons on the ground, but second-year pro Tyler Allgeier will get some work too. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LAC - Quentin Johnston under contract]() Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson Los Angeles Chargers first-round draft choice WR Quentin Johnston's contract is for four years and $14.188 million with a $7.319 million signing bonus. The deal is fully guaranteed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Johnston can be a threat to score from anywhere on the field. He's big, has great long speed, and he knows how to make defenders look silly when he's got the rock. Johnston will be working behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to begin his pro career, but he's got the upside of a perennial Pro Bowl player. His boom/bust game gives him plenty of flex appeal for Fantasy GMs this year even if he is further down the depth chart than other first-round receivers from this class. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [SEA - Jaxon Smith-Njigba wraps up rookie deal]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State) signed a four-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, May 11. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Smith-Njigba was arguably the best wide receiver in this class, and the Seahawks will be over the moon to have him on their team. The Buckeyes receiver is fast, explosive, and he can work all three levels of the field. Smith-Njigba knows the nuances of the position, and he should be QB Geno Smith's best friend. He'll get worked into the offense with WR D.K. Metcalf and WR Tyler Lockett. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NO - Kendre Miller under contract]() Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson New Orleans Saints third-round draft choice RB Kendre Miller (Texas Christian) signed a four-year contract Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Miller plays with tremendous contact balance, and he's tough to bring down when running the ball. He does a good job of picking his rushing lane, and Miller shows patience when waiting for blocks to develop. Miller will work to establish himself as a three-down option and perhaps future starter for the Saints. In 2023, Miller will be behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [ARI - Arizona signs four draft picks](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals third-round draft choice WR Michael Wilson, fourth-round draft choice OG Jon Gaines II, fifth-round draft choice QB Clayton Tune and fifth-round draft choice LB Owen Pappoe signed four-year contracts with the Cardinals Thursday, May 11. Financial terms were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Wilson is one of our favorite sleeper receivers in this draft class. He brings a basketball skill set to the football field, and Wilson has no problem making catches in traffic. He plays "above the rim" and Wilson knows how to position his body to box out smaller defenders. Wilson will not win with separation, but he's reliable and will fight for every catch. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TEN - Three draft picks under contract]( Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt Tennessee Titans fifth-round draft choice TE Josh Whyle, sixth-round draft choice OT Jaelyn Duncan and seventh-round draft choice WR Colton Dowell agreed to terms on four-year contracts with the Titans Thursday, May 11. Financial terms were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Whyle is explosive off the line of scrimmage and a playmaker who quickly goes from receiver to runner after the catch. He's got plenty of speed to attack the seam, but Whyle has to do a better job of tracking passes down the field. Speaking of explosive, Dowell has a great size/speed combination and he's an expert at winning contested catches. He needs to be a better route runner, but with time, he's got the upside to be a starter if he plays up to his potential. --------------------------------------------------------------- FOOTBALLGUYS PICKS DOMINATE YOUR FRIENDS WITH A FOOTBALLGUYS PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION - Consistently winning at Fantasy Football is hard.

[LVR - Five draft choices under contract]( Source: NFL.com Las Vegas Raiders third-round draft choice WR Tre Tucker, fourth-round draft choice QB Aidan O'Connell, fifth-round draft choice S Christopher Smith II, sixth-round draft choice LB Amari Burney and seventh-round draft choice DT Nesta Jade Silvera signed four-year contracts with the Raiders Thursday, May 11. Financial terms were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tucker is one of the fastest players in this draft class, and he's incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands. He's a smaller receiver, but Tucker is not just a slot-only option, and he can line up all over the formation. O'Connell was getting some buzz at the East-West Shrine Bowl earlier this year which included some in the scouting community opining that he may be the best quarterback in this class. He's a pocket passer with the accuracy and anticipation to slice up a defense on the first two levels. We'll watch his career with great interest. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DAL - Multiple draft picks sign contracts]( Source: ESPN.com - Todd Archer Dallas Cowboys third-round draft choice LB DeMarvion Overshown, fourth-round draft choice DE Villami Fehoko Jr., fifth-round draft choice OT Asim Richards, sixth-round draft choice RB Deuce Vaughn and seventh-round draft choice WR Jalen Brooks signed four-year contracts with the Cowboys Thursday, May 11. Financial terms were not disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Vaughn reminds many in the scouting community of RB Darren Sproles (also a former Kansas State player). Like Sproles, Vaughn is a short/compact runner with powerful legs and quick feet to eat up yards quickly. Vaughn can be dangerous in space, and he's going to work in the Cowboys' backfield behind starter Tony Pollard. Brooks is more quick than fast, but he's got build-up speed which can help him develop into a downfield target. He likely needs time on the practice squad to further develop his game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [DEN - Denver announces several UDFA signings]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Myles Simmons Undrafted free-agent TE Nate Adkins (South Carolina), WR Dallas Daniels (Jackson State), WR Taylor Grimes (Incarnate Word), TE Kris Leach (Kent State) and RB Jaleel McLaughlin (Youngstown State) signed contracts with the Denver Broncos on Friday, May 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McLaughlin is the player to watch here. He could make the 53-man roster as a change-of-pace option behind Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine. Williams may not be ready to begin the regular season as he comes back from a major knee injury, so McLaughlin might be in line for touches to give Perine a breather. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [100% Deposit Match Up To $100 At Underdog Fantasy]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [LAC - LA Chargers finalize five rookie deals]( Source: The Athletic - Daniel Popper Los Angeles Chargers third-round draft choice LB Daiyan Henley (Washington State), fourth-round draft choice WR Derius Davis (Texas Christian), fifth-round draft choice Jordan McFadden (Clemson), sixth-round draft choice DT Scott Matlock (Boise State) and seventh-round draft choice QB Max Duggan (Texas Christian) signed four-year contracts Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Davis is a small receiver who can use quickness on underneath routes. He's got ability as a return man, but mainly he can help on offense as a slot option. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [SF - San Francisco finalizes rookie signings]( Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers third-round draft choice S Ji'Ayir Brown (Penn State), third-round draft choice TE Cameron Latu (Alabama), sixth-round draft choice LB Dee Winters (Texas Christian), seventh-round draft choice TE Brayden Willis (Oklahoma), seventh-round draft choice WR Ronnie Bell (Michigan) and seventh-round draft choice LB Jalen Graham (Purdue) signed four-year contracts Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Latu is a good receiver who can work well as a blocker. He'll get to learn behind TE George Kittle and should get onto the field as a no.2 tight end in the near future. Willis is a do-everything tight end/H-back/fullback/Wildcat quarterback who the 49ers could get on the field for gadget plays. Bell is a receiver that can work the sidelines to move the chains. All three of these skill players, but especially Latu, are guys to keep an eye on in dynasty formats. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [MIN - Minnesota seals the deal with two rookies](=) Source: ESPN.com - Kevin Seifert Minnesota Vikings third-round draft choice CB Mekhi Blackmon (Southern California) and fifth-round draft choice QB Jaren Hall (Brigham Young) agreed to terms on four-year contracts Friday, May 12. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hall reminded some in the scouting community of a "starter kit" Russell Wilson. He's a short quarterback with leadership ability. Hall struggled early during the week of practice for the Senior Bowl, but he steadily got better as the week went on. He's got the ability to gash a defense with his feet after options as a passer are exhausted. Hall has work to do, but the upside is there for him to be a starting quarterback in the league.
