Championship Dynasty Mock Draft 2.0

With the NFL Draft behind us, the 2023 Championship Dynasty Draft is on the horizon. Landing spots are set, and how the NFL sees these prospects is now clear.

The top of the draft went pretty much as expected, but the back half is up in the air. TEs went high, but will the depth push them down our draft? Where will Charbonnet get picked? With 4 back-to-back first round WRs, what will managers' preference be?

Let's find out in the post-draft Championship Dynasty Mock Draft!

1.01 - bdawg

Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons

Drafted at #8 overall, Bijan's value stays solid. The Draft was evidence that any running back can lose value overnight, but Robinson is still a great RB prospect that bdawg would be thrilled to add to their team.

TRADE - yes, we're doing trades in this one! With varying needs across teams, we will see trades on draft day, so they will be detailed here as well. Wham921 has multiple first rounders, so packages 2 here to get a top tier talent in the draft.

Wham921 receives: 2023 1.02

jackmeenan receives: 2023 1.06, 2023 1.11

1.02 - Wham921 via jackmeenan

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions

With Kenneth Walker's value crushed by the drafting of Zach Charbonnet, Wham921 gets an instant replacement piece in Gibbs. Walker can remain a FLEX play, and Gibbs can offer a high floor and upside with the 0.5 PPR scoring we use.

1.03 - RobbieK

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks

The pick in the last mock draft, Charbonnet, will likely fall down boards with the competition at the position. JSN was the first receiver drafted, and with their RB room now shored up RobbieK can go best player available, and replace 2 receivers they traded away in Hollywood Brown and Diontae Johnson.

1.04 - Wham921 via MQNKEYMATT

Quentin Johnson, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Now the second of their picks in this round, Wham921 has surprising quality on their roster, so their options are open. Here, they draft the second WR off the board. There were rumours Johnson could have fallen out of the first round, but LA valued him highly enough to be the eventual successor to Allen or Williams. They finish their first round haul with the second RB and second WR drafted by the NFL.

1.05 - AndyP

Jordan Addison, WR, Minnesota Vikings

The value of AndyP's considerable RB corps stayed mostly intact (in one case - Swift - possily gaining value), so they stick with WR here. Addison will be a shoo in for the Vikings WR2 slot, so AndyP goes with the USC product to plug in as a FLEX play.

1.06 - jackmeenan via Wham921

Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seattle Seahawks

The first of their 2 picks after moving down from 1.02, jackmeenan takes the next available RB for their thinning depth at the position. After Charbonnet, there is little guarantee the other RBs see touches, and jackmeenan can still pair the UCLA product with a WR at pick #11.

1.07 - amccann

Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Amccann grabs the last available first round WR with their mid-round pick. There is now competition for targets in Baltimore, but with Lamar locked up and Todd Monken in town, Flowers may prove to be an every-week starter for amccann above the mid-tier players they have at the position.

TRADE - HChishty has many needs on their roster, so moves down to grab some later picks here, and hopefully still get a good prospect later in the draft.

HChisty receives: 2023 1.09, 2023 3.07

RobbieK receives: 2023 1.08

1.08 - RobbieK via HChishty & leathershoe4

Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills

RobbieK has a pretty glaring need at TE, so trades up a spot here to grab the first drafted. There is a poor history of first round TEs in the NFL lately, and there are a lot of good prospects later on, but the combination of playstyle and landing spot may lead to Kincaid being a permanent player at the TE spot for RobbieK.

1.09 - HChishty via RobbieK & ajcsmit Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs

It seems like a routine very year - a KC player going in the first due to their landing spot. However, here, Rice has high draft capital and a great landing spot. HChishty got some depth at the position this offseason but could do with a star WR - perhaps Rice could be that player in KC.

1.10 - leathershoe4 via Scuba_Eli

Josh Downs, WR, Indianapolis Colts

Leathershoe4 is looking set at a lot of positions, but could do with some WR depth. Here, they go for their pick in Mock Draft 1.0, grabbing Josh Downs. We don't know how pass-heavy the Colts offense will be under Richardson, but the team saw fit to give him 2nd round draft capital, and his after the catch ability could provide big plays for leathershoe4.

1.11 - jackmeenan via Wham921 & HChishty

Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans

Back on the clock with their second pick from Wham921, jackmeenan doubles up and gets more RB depth. Spears was a darling of the Senior Bowl, and it is clear that Henry won't play at a high level (at least in Tennessee) forever. It may not be this year, but jackmeenan could have Spears slot in as RB3 behind Taylor and Charbonnet.

1.12 - Xuande

Tank Bigsby, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

A bit of a surprise pick here, Xuande needs to get RB production, especially after the hit to the value of both of their starting RBs. Bigsby has the clearest path to points this year, pairing with Etienne to hopefully garner early-down and goal-line work.
