This isn’t about chasing ADP screenshots.
It’s about decision-making, roster construction, and staying ahead of the market.
If you want a consistent edge during the season, Mock Draft Mondays is where it starts.
For our first Mock Draft Monday, we jumped straight into the deep end.
This was a 12-team Superflex, TE Premium dynasty startup, capped at 10 rounds, with 2026 rookie picks included. I pulled together 12 absolute degenerates to run this one, and there was no ADP involved. No safety net. No market guardrails. Just pure value judgment.
That matters.
While team build isn’t the focus in a short mock like this, it does give us a clean snapshot of how player value and pick value look now that the season is over and, maybe more importantly, how future rookie picks are being weighed against proven dynasty assets.
This wasn’t about “winning” the mock.
It was about where the market is drifting and where it’s already mispricing risk, insulation, and upside.
Below, I’m diving into the key takeaways from this draft to help you identify early offseason value before the broader market catches up.
Before jumping into individual picks or teams, it’s important to zoom out.
When ADP is stripped away, drafts like this become a stress test for true market conviction. Every selection forces drafters to reveal what they actually believe holds value right now, not what a ranking sheet tells them is “safe.”
That’s where this mock becomes useful. The tension between future picks and current producers, between ceiling and insulation, showed up immediately in the opening rounds.
And that leads us directly to the first major takeaway from this draft…
