Underdog Fantasy

The modern era of NFL roster building is fully embracing positional value. QBs over everything. EDGE, WR, OT, DT, and OG over C, TE, RB, LB, and S. We've seen a total distancing in free agency dollars and it'll forever change the NFL Draft, too. My latest mock draft is an example of how things could look. I prioritized the Tier 2 QB group ahead of all other prospects (1-2-3-4), mocked the Tier 2 WR ahead of the elite TE prospect, had 6 OTs before an IOL, pushed OGs earlier than their consensus rankings, and generally valued pass rush over CB. Ultimately, there were just 2 non-premium position players selected in my Round 1; TE Brock Bowers and C Jackson Powers-Johnson.
