Every fantasy draft is terrible and ridiculous in its own unique way. If you were to assemble the same group of drafters twice, picking in the same order on the same day, you’d get radically different results each time.
Mock drafts of course have an even greater level of ridiculousness, because no one involved actually has to live with the results. At best, the selection of a player is a non-binding endorsement.
Over the weekend, 10 Yahoo-affiliated fantasy managers conducted our first mock exercise of the season.

A) we only went eight rounds,
B) the NFL regular season opener is still four months away, and
C) Dalton Del Don once again tried to make the whole thing about himself, per usual. Of course he did.
Our group’s first attempt to value the 2024 player pool began the way you’d expect it to, but quickly veered in a few unexpected directions. Let’s go round-by-round, discussing notable picks along the way. Please note that Yahoo’s default settings are in play here (half-PPR, one QB, flex).

Justin Jefferson (Andy Behrens)
Puka Nacua (Collin Brennan)
Ja’Marr Chase (Matt Harmon)
Amon-Ra St. Brown (Jorge Martin)
Jonathan Taylor (Scott Pianowski)
Just a classic showboating look-at-me pick by Del Don right at the top. The selection of Hall broke Dalton’s streak of over 100 consecutive fantasy drafts in which he’d spent his first-round pick on a starting pitcher (all of whom are now on the IL).
Hall is obviously a great back coming off an excellent season, leading all players at his position in targets (95), receptions (76) and receiving yards (591). He did, however, deliver 43 of those catches and 283 of the yards in a six-game stretch with Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian at quarterback, so…
