Follow our mock draft here: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-breece-hall-kenneth-walker-first-rookies-off-the-board-in-our-first-post-nfl-draft-mock/Starting out with the best picks (2:00) and worst picks (2:55) of our 12-team, PPR mock draft. Heath loves the values for CEH, Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts, but we all agree Davante Adams was taken too early ... We go round-by-round and review the results. Round 1 (6:45) was pretty standard with the exception of the Adams pick. In Round 2 (10:00), we wonder if Leonard Fournette and James Conner were drafted appropriately and how we feel about a Tyreek Hill/Davante Adams tandem (13:10). We review Round 3 (14:10) and discuss if you can really get away with no WRs with your first three picks ... Rounds 4 and 5 (19:15) are big rounds for WRs. Is it better to draft #1 WRs on potentially bad offenses (21:25) such as D.K. Metcalf and D.J. Moore over #2 WRs on potentially great offenses such as Courtland Sutton or Allen Robinson? ... Then we move on to Round 6 (36:10) which is not a bad round for RBs, Round 7 (43:30) when the rookie WRs come off the board, Round 8 (46:40) which features the "Steal of the Draft" and then a review of when the rookies were drafted (50:30) ...

Rich Hribar of SharpFootballAnalysis joins us with some updated dynasty rankings. Who was one of his biggest rankings risers after the NFL Draft (4:40)? And what do we make of Sony Michel going to the Dolphins and Mike Davis going to the Ravens (10:30)? What does this say about Chase Edmonds? ... We compare the dynasty rankings of Heath and Rich.

If you drafted Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins or Justin Herbert in the mid-rounds of your 2021 draft, you may have won your league! Let's find the best picks of 2022 beginning with our mid-round philosophies (5:30). Quarterback is always a good position to target here, but tight end may not be.

We know it's a tight end show, but let's talk running backs for a moment. Jonathan Taylor is clearly the #1 RB in dynasty right now, but who is #2 (4:00)? After that debate it's time to talk TEs! How did the NFL Draft alter the TE rankings (10:00)? Cole Kmet and Robert Tonyan are among the rankings risers ... How worried should we be about Dallas Goedert (15:00) with A.J.
