What does the 2026 NFL Draft class really offer dynasty managers? Garret Price, Jared Wackerly, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott launched the new Draft Nerds Network with a deep dive into the consensus top 12 prospects. The hosts warn this class lacks depth outside the elite tier, with just two quarterbacks cracking the first round in SuperFlex formats and a historically weak running back group.

Jeremiyah Love tops the rankings with Christian McCaffrey comparisons, showcasing elite receiving skills and feel for the game. Fernando Mendoza leads the quarterbacks at number two despite his quirky personality, while Makai Lemon rounds out the top three receivers. The running back position looks brutal beyond Love, with Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson projected as mid-round picks at best. Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson, and KC Concepcion form the core wide receiver group, while Kenyan Siddiq stands alone as the only first round tight end. The hosts debate landing spots and compare prospects to veteran free agents like Kenneth Walker and Breece Hall who may offer better value.
