Below is the latest edition of the 2016 CRFL mock draft. I'm sure something big will happen any minute after this post goes live.
1st Round
1.01. Kaneohe Ikaika Warriors selects...RB Ezekiel Elliott PHI (Ohio State)
Warriors recently traded for Devonta Freeman to bolster RB depth, but need an heir to Adrian Peterson after trading Le'Veon Bell away. Elliott fits the bill and is a dynasty superstar in the making.
1.02. Huskerfan selects...RB Derrick Henry BAL (Alabama)
Huskers will have a dilemma with this pick, could go either way at RB or WR, but I think RB is a slightly bigger need. Henry will be a top pick simply based on the volume he would receive in Baltimore.
1.03. Brucey's crew selects...WR Laquon Treadwell MIN (Ole Miss)
Bruce made a huge trade in the 2015 off-season for three 2016 1st round picks. FIVE total for the 1st round. He'll take a potential stud WR here in Laquon Treadwell.
1.04. Badgerhawks select...WR Eric Decker NYJ (Free Agent)
The Hawks have several needs and have made a few 1st round decisions in the past that went against the grain. We'll see that again here by opting for a free agent.
1.05. Brucey's crew selects...WR Josh Doctson CIN (TCU)
Brucey's boys are already back on the clock. In my opinion, Doctson could shock fantasy owners. I believe he is the best WR talent in this draft. A better landing spot could see him skyrocket into the Top 2.
1.06. Northern Cardinals select...RB Kenneth Dixon NE (Louisiana Tech)
The Cardinals are back in the 1st round after a last minute blockbuster before the keeper deadline. Their trading barrage didn't end there. After sending their 1.08 to the Bison in order to upgrade at WR, a young RB seems like the obvious choice here. I'm told the Cardinals are high on Dixon out of La Tech.
1.07. Juice Box Heroes select...RB C.J. Prosise MIA (Notre Dame)
Outside of the dominant Cam Newton, JBH is still seeking top-end talent. They have next to no RB talent at all after the keeper deadline. RB seems like an obvious move here. Prosise can run and catch very well, leaving some to wonder if he is this year's David Johnson.
1.08. EDIT: Bison pick 1.08 after trade. Wind River Bison select...WR Will Fuller HOU (Notre Dame)
The last few weeks have been a trading whirlwind for the Bison. After acquiring Josh Gordon, he immediately gets his reinstatement denied. To get back into the first round, they swap WRs with the very team that gave them Gordon in the first place. Suddenly WR appears to be more of a need than RB on the Wind River. They'll gladly take a 1st round WR here.
1.09. Brucey's crew selects...WR Michael Thomas CLE (Ohio State)
The talent haul continues for the crew. Thomas is the final Top 35 prospect available and Brucey will have no problem taking him this late. Thomas could be the top receiving target in a Hue Jackson system.
1.10. Huskerfan selects...RB Alex Collins CAR (Arkansas)
Huskers are one of two teams with multiple 1st round picks, and they'll use their final one on Collins here. After Collins leaves the board, the remaining RB pool starts to reach flier status. Collins could eventually succeed Jonathan Stewart as the starting RB in Carolina.
1.11. Brucey's crew selects...WR Corey Coleman DAL (Baylor)
The crew already have an impressive haul at this point in the draft. Adding Coleman this late? What a steal.
1.12. Brucey's crew selects...QB Carson Wentz LA (North Dakota State)
The 1st round raid is over. Time to take a flier on a high-upside QB? Philip Rivers and Drew Brees aren't getting any younger.
