Summary

Garret Price and Andrew Mott conduct a 13 round superflex tight end premium startup mock draft with the Dynasty Nerds community. With outdated ADP creating opportunities, the hosts demonstrate how to exploit market inefficiencies and build championship rosters through best player available strategies. Andrew builds around Drake Maye and Caleb Williams as his cornerstone quarterbacks, emphasizing the importance of locking down the premium position early in superflex formats. He adds Bryce Young as a high upside QB3, betting on continued improvement with Carolina's offensive development. Garret delays quarterback until round six, snagging C.J. Stroud while stockpiling running backs with Jahmyr Gibbs, De'Von Achane, and Breece Hall. The strategy creates trade flexibility while capturing elite talent at scarce positions. Andrew exploits outdated ADP to land Emeka Egbuka in round four and George Pickens in round six, both players he had ranked significantly higher. 📊 Rookie Big Boards 📝 Rookie Mock Drafts 📈 Dynasty Rankings 📱 Dynasty Nerds App 🧱 IDP Hub Start Using the Film Room Today!

0:00.0	The regular season has wrapped up. The playoffs have wrapped up.
0:04.4	And that means we are officially in the off season.
0:06.7	I love talking prospects, but the other part of the off season that's really fun is some new startup drafts.
0:12.7	And that's what we're going to be doing today.
0:15.0	We are going to be doing a tight end premium super flex mock draft here.
0:20.3	And we are doing it with real people we're doing it
0:22.4	with the nerd and so this should be absolutely fun Andrew you chose the three spot I took the
0:29.8	12 spot was there any strategy or gamesmanship and taking the three spot or is it just like oh
0:36.8	that's just a spot I wanted well i also was thinking
0:41.3	as a content creator right and i was like you picked the 12 spots so let me give us some breathing
0:45.8	room between each of the picks so we can have time to talk about it with each other so that was kind
0:50.9	of the first part of the gamesmanship but also it's super. I might as well add one of the top quarterbacks. Get you. It makes perfect sense to me. All right. Somebody said our roster settings don't have super flex. I'm going to make sure. I know the, uh, the ADP does. Not that this matters a ton. Let's see. add let me add that there we go now we've got
1:14.5	now we've got it and we can make sure we get rid of a kicker and defense we don't want that
1:20.3	and yeah I think we should be good to go all right so let's go ahead we've got two running backs
1:26.7	two wide receivers a tight end two flex spots and a super flex spot. And then we have four bench spots there. So without further ado, let's kick this thing off. And away we are. Now, I don't know that sleeper has updated their their adp uh in a bit so
1:49.9	this is going to make this even more interesting because you're going to be working off basically
1:54.9	what the beginning of the 2025 season was and obviously there's a lot of shifts and changes from then.
2:02.9	So we're going to have to be paying attention a little bit because I think people could
2:06.2	get stuck if they're not, you know, dig deeper on this.
2:10.9	Yeah, I mean, 100%.
2:12.1	I just did a mock draft the other day from my channel.
