In addition, he lost Chase Edmonds and Christian Kirk, but the team locked up Zach Ertz and can get more out Rondale Moore.

The only potential concern I have with Kyler is the weaponry he will battle with, but he played the second half of the season without DeAndre Hopkins, whom he will get back this season. His rushing abilities give him a safe floor, as he fell short of 19 points in just four of his 14 games last season. Although he finished the season as the QB10 overall, he stood as the QB4 in points per game. But Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers also went before this pick, and I’m not sure I would have taken either ahead of Kyler Murray. Had I taken a QB at eight overall, I would have taken Justin Herbert who went a few picks later. It was tough to pass on one of my top RBs in Javonte Williams, but getting Kyler Murray at this spot validated my decision to snag Kupp in round one. Other notable players available: Javonte Williams, Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow, Stefon Diggs There are many quality WRs in the league today, but the rapport with Matthew Stafford and the consistency Kupp provides is unparalleled. The consistency and the edge that Kupp will provide at WR is more significant than what I’d get from a QB here versus what will be available in nine picks. Sure, it helps, but as long as you get a good player to fill the QB2 spot and ideally stack some depth, you’re in a good spot. Quality QB play is essential in a Superflex league, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you need an elite player at QB1. Even if I took a QB, I wouldn’t have gotten the best player at his position as I did here. Getting Cooper Kupp, who is coming off a historic season, with the eighth pick is a win no matter how you spin it. I love Superflex drafts because QBs going early in the draft push other talent down the board.

Other notable players available: Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson As always, prepare yourself, build a strategy, and be adaptable and flexible to the flow of the draft. The approach to a Superflex draft differs from a single QB, but the fundamentals of drafting don’t. I’m coming at you with a Superflex mock rather than a single QB this time. If you haven’t yet, check out the last mock draft. Last week, I preached the importance of preparation in my single QB mock draft, so it shouldn’t surprise you to find me back here with another mock draft.
