SuperFlex Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: June 2025 (Fantasy Football)
We recently participated in a SuperFlex Dynasty Startup mock with members of the FootClan, some of our Discord moderators, and Footballers writing staff. It was a sharp crew and dynasty managers can use this exercise as a dry-run to prepare for upcoming startup drafts.
I highly recommend some of SuperFlex content library if you want a deeper dive on SuperFlex drafting and Dynasty SuperFlex Ranks. We will survey our writing staff share some Superflex strategy thoughts as well as values from this 25-round startup mock draft.

1. What was your general strategy approaching SuperFlex?
My overall strategy for a SuperFlex draft doesn’t really differ that much more than from a single-QB. While it’s sometimes easier to over-prioritize youth in dynasty drafts, I mainly look to draft a group of players that can compete right away and still get enough young assets to be able to build into an elite roster down the road. One of my favorite things to do with SuperFlex in particular is target stacking with the QBs I eventually pick, though I don’t try to go out of my way to do so. – Kurt Mullen (@KurtKnowsBest)
Call me once bitten, twice shy, but after an early SuperFlex draft where I left with one dependable starting QB, I have since then prioritized drafting two solid QBs. My personal experience with SuperFlex is that managers hoard starting QBs like gold, and I would rather throw darts later at other positions, where the hit rate is higher, hence my two Lamar and Kyler picks. With TMcB falling to me, I thought, “let’s check off the onesies and move on.” – Julia Papworth (@juliapapworth)
I’m all about securing a top-tier QB early in SuperFlex, so snagging Jalen Hurts at 1.07 felt like a win- he’s my dynasty QB4. If I miss out on an elite quarterback, I’ll pivot to a cornerstone WR or RB like Chase or Bijan and circle back to QB later. When I do lock in QB1 early, I’m eyeing my QB2 by rounds 7 or 8- unless a crazy value falls to me earlier. – Brittney Foxworth (@bfoxworth07)
In Superflex drafts, I aim to land two starting QBs within my first four picks. With a late first-round slot and a third-round reversal in this mock, I saw a perfect window to target JJ McCarthy in the fourth. Beyond that, I typically prioritize WRs early and often, waiting until later rounds to address RB. I also like to scoop up a high-upside third QB in the middle rounds when the opportunity arises, either for depth or as a potential trade chip when other teams inevitably run into QB trouble. – Joe Beldner (@JoeBeldner)
With the third round reversal in play, it was surprising to see only three teams double up at QB in the first three rounds. Perhaps it is the FootClan leaning into our Startup Ranks where the Footballers are consistently behind market on QBs in this range. It allowed for some value at the QB2 spot in the next few rounds where I feel more comfortable taking QBs and loading up on studs early. I value grabbing 2-3 positional players + Bowers early before outfitting my SuperFlex spot. I decided to punt it as far as I could as the latest person in the draft to grab a starting caliber QB for Week 1. However, Jaxson Dart represents a lottery ticket (and stacking partner with Malik Nabers) as well as taking other stabs late with Daniel Jones and Joe Milton. -Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg)
2. What pick(s) in the 1st 3 rounds surprised you the most?
Brock Bowers lasting until the 2.04 was a pretty surprising development. Even though this wasn’t a TE-premium, Bowers gives fantasy managers a positional advantage every single week and is only 22 so it’s an edge they’ll have for many years to come. Bowers finished as the TE1 overall as a rookie and is getting both a QB and Offensive Coordinator upgrade in 2025. SuperFlex or not, letting Bowers get out of the first round – and going behind 3 RBs – is pretty surprising overall. – Kurt Mullen (@KurtKnowsBest)
The biggest surprise to me in the first three rounds was who was missing: mainly RB Bucky Irving. I pounced on him in the 4th round, ecstatic to make him my RB1. I was surprised to see six RBs go before him, especially Saquon, when Bucky comes in as RB5 in dynasty start-up rankings. – Julia Papworth (@juliapapworth)
When AgustinCastrop went back-to-back RBs in Rounds 1 and 2, grabbing both Bijan and Gibbs, I was kind of impressed. Absolute power move! He clearly wanted to establish the run early, and honestly, I love the boldness. Anchoring his team with two young elite RBs at a position hard to find difference makers at. Chefs kiss. – Brittney Foxworth (@bfoxworth07)
Most of the picks in the first three rounds were filled with premium talent, but Tetairoa McMillan felt like a slight reach at 3.10. I am personally not as high on his potential ceiling and would have preferred some of the positional players taken after him. That said, his elite athleticism and first-round draft capital make the pick more than justifiable. The same argument could apply to Travis Hunter at 3.08, but I am more bullish on Hunter’s upside, which is why McMillan stood out more to me here. – Joe Beldner (@JoeBeldner)

Caleb Williams remains a leap of faith for me. I understand that Ben Johnson can be a cure-all for Chicago’s problems but as the QB10 off the board, we are still projecting with him. The QBs who went immediately after him (Love and Kyler) were higher on my board. I’m not sure if I feel comfortable heading into the season with him as my QB1. The drafter did the right thing adding Penix and Tua later to give themselves other starting options so there are failsafes in place. -Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg)
3. What were your favorite value picks in the first 10 rounds?
I’ve got two answers here: Dak Prescott at the 6.06 and Kaleb Johnson at the 6.08. Dak went off the board as the QB17 and was actually that team’s first QB taken, so getting a guy with the kind of upside is a huge win. Prescott’s value seems to be much lower than what it should be, which is odd given he’s only 31 and Dallas is constructing what feels like it may be a very pass-heavy offense again in 2025.In the same round, Kaleb Johnson went just a few picks later as the RB18 off the board, but was the fifth rookie RB taken. While Johnson doesn’t have the draft capital that Jeanty, Hampton, Henderson or Judkins got in the 2025 NFL Draft, he is stepping into a situation that could see him produce the best season of any of the rookie RBs based on what we know the Steelers offense wants to do. When you factor in that Johnson is only 21, getting him that late is extremely good value.- Kurt Mullen (@KurtKnowsBest)
When it comes to value, Brittney Foxworth knocked it out with a Round 9/10 combo of Rookie WR Jack Bech and “Not Dead Yet” TE Travis Kelce. Bech could easily be the WR1 in Vegas almost immediately, and we know that Kelce continues to produce, despite his age. She picked up the younger TE Terrance Ferguson later to cover her Kelce investment, should something go awry. – Julia Papworth (@juliapapworth)
I was happy getting Bryce Young at 8.7. Here’s to hoping he continues on the trajectory he was on after he came back from his benching last season. Ray getting Matt Stafford in the 10th round as QB2 is great short-term value- great for his team, which he set up to win now. Courtland Sutton at 9.2 was an absolute snipe. – Brittney Foxworth (@bfoxworth07)
I was surprised to see Jameson Williams still on the board at 6.10. He is only 24 and coming off a true breakout season. His stock has been trending up, with coaches praising his potential this offseason and saying the sky’s the limit. A rocky start to his career has likely kept his value suppressed, but at this point, it is time to focus on what he is now, and what he is poised to become. – Joe Beldner (@JoeBeldner)
Some of the rookie WRs went sat around longer than I anticipated. There is a dance in dynasty startups where you see youth often overemphasized early and then some of the second tier rookies end up in no man’s land. Where do you find the middle ground between veterans who profile as top-20 guys in 2025 and rookies who might have to wait a year or two for your squads? The 8th and 9th rounds provided some value with rookie Luther Burden III, Jayden Higgins, Matthew Golden, Tre Harris, and Jack Bech. A year from now we could be talking about 3-4 of those guys showing in the first 5 rounds of a startup draft. If you already have your starting WR spots filled, I love taking shots on these players at this spot in the draft. -Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg)
4. What late round pick do you want to highlight?
Roschon Johnson going at the 17.07 feels like a super value in a startup. Johnson is just 24-years-old and is on an offense that fantasy managers think they want a piece of heading into 2025. While it’s unlikely that we see Johnson take a huge step forward to ever being an elite fantasy asset, Ben Johnson coming to Chicago at least opens the door to Johnson having a role that fantasy managers will care about this season. If we’re talking about getting a potential starting RB – even if it’s just for a season – in the 17th-Round, that’s something any fantasy manager will sign up for this late in drafts. – Kurt Mullen (@KurtKnowsBest)
Looking at later round picks, a 17th round snag of RB Roschon Johnson and a 19th round pick of WR Joshua Palmer, both stick out like diamonds in the rough for me. We all remember the Ben Johnson and D’Andre Swift relationship a few years back in Detroit, and with them reuniting in Chicago, I can see a world where Ro-Jo snags all the TDs. And for Palmer? Who’s to say he doesn’t win a training camp battle to be the WR2? – Julia Papworth (@juliapapworth)
Kyle landing Daniel Jones in the 15th was a straight-up steal. As much as I want Anthony Richardson to be the guy, there’s a world where he isn’t- and in that case, Danny Dimes has shown he can be. A change of scenery might do him good. Just look at Saquon. As for my team, my favorite late-round pick was Tahj Brooks in the 18th. I explain why I’m a huge Tahj believer in my dynasty mailbag article. – Brittney Foxworth (@bfoxworth07)
Roschon Johnson at 17.7 felt like excellent value. Chicago’s offense is revamped heading into 2025, and despite appearing to desire a top rookie RB in the draft, they kept getting sniped. D’Andre Swift will likely open the season as the starter, but he has never been a true bell-cow, and new HC Ben Johnson did not treat him like one back in Detroit. Johnson, still just 24, has the size and skill set to handle a three-down role if he takes a step forward this year. He scored six TDs last season and could carve out a valuable role as the Bears’ goal-line back in what should be a much more productive offense. – Joe Beldner (@JoeBeldner)
There are a few TEs who fell way too far including Hunter Henry, Mike Gesicki, and Cole Kmet (who can easily find a new home in 2026). I thought dart throws at RB such as Jaylen Wright, Jarquez Hunter, and Jordan James fit the type of upside I’m looking for past Round 15. Oh, I’m also going to keep talking about Sean Tucker all summer long as a dart throw I absolutely love. -Kyle Borgognoni (@kyle_borg)
