Below you will find an early 2013 Fantasy Football Dynasty Mock Draft. This mock draft took place on our live chat feature, which is located at the bottom right of the site (and this page) – If you haven’t used it yet, jump on it and talk fantasy football with other mock draft users!
The participants in this mock draft were a combination of DraftCalc subscribers, moderators and writers, so it’s a great mix of fantasy scouting talent – There was no set draft order, we all just fired out selections with the only rule being no one could select twice in a row. Enjoy!
Scoring/Format: This mock draft was based off of a dynasty, PPR format.
2013 Fantasy Football Dynasty Mock Draft
Round One
1.01 – Adrian Peterson (Smitty)
1.02 – Doug Martin (WTCM)
1.03 – CJ Spiller (tmoney)
1.04 – Trent Richardson (Smitty)
1.05 – Ray Rice (WTCM)
1.06 – Calvin Johnson (TBCF)
1.07 – Arian Foster (tmoney)
1.08 – AJ Green (jknighton)
1.09 – Jamaal Charles (WTCM)
1.10 – Marshawn Lynch (winonemore)
1.11 – Julio Jones (Smitty)
1.12 – LeSean McCoy (TBCF)
Smitty’s Take: There were actually no real surprises in the first-round of this mock draft, except for maybe Aaron Rodgers not getting drafted in it. Who would I bump out of the first-round, though? Well, that’s the tough part, as all of the names listed above are deserving of a top 12 overall pick; if forced to single out one player, I’d probably give Marshawn Lynch’s spot to Rodgers, but again, Lynch’s place in the first-round is arguable… Some will say that CJ Spiller is just too high at 1.03, but I honestly think that he is a good bet to produce top 2-5 fantasy running back numbers in 2013… I feel the same way about Trent Richardson, who was drafted at 1.04, but my guess is Richardson will be a regular 1.03-1.06 selection in upcoming 2013 fantasy football drafts, whereas Spiller may slip a little further than 1.03-1.06 in most drafts. It’s early, Spiller could lock into that 2-3 overall range, but I think we here at DraftCalc, users and staffers, are a bit ahead of the curve on the CJ Spiller Breakout Show that airs in September of 2013. If I had to guess, come August, Spiller’s ADP will settle around 1.07-1.12 and Richardson’s ADP will remain around 1.04-1.06. Great news for all of us Spiller owners and believers… Ray Rice (1.05) and Arian Foster (1.07) are both still 1.01 capable in dynasty start-ups, so we can actually label both as first-round steals in this mock… Foster falling past 1.05-1.06 is starting to look like a trend so far this off-season, which is great news for those that still believe that he still has 2-3 elite seasons left in the tank… LeSean McCoy is a tough player to rank heading into 2013, and right here I write about how the runner is a huge dynasty risk unless you handcuff him to Bryce Brown… Brown has to be one of the most important handcuffs we’ve come across in years. Owning both runners is a pretty safe bet for strong RB1-type numbers, and the combo actually feels about as safe as any running back taken as high as 1.05 above; however, without Brown (meaning only McCoy is owned), well, that approach is about as worrisome to me as McCoy playing without a helmet on Sundays. I’m not claiming that Brown is as good as McCoy, in fact it’s not even close; however, that locked-up situation will produce elite numbers regardless of who is getting the carries. Read more on that situation here.
Round Two
2.01 – Dez Bryant (WTCM)
2.02 – Aaron Rodgers (tmoney)

good info Smitty – that chat feature is like a mock microwave-all the tasty results in a fraction of the time.
Yes, Sir! You are right! I love the new feature!
Who is the biggest sleeper in this mock in your opinion?
No round 2…preview…?
As jknighton says below, there is a “continue reading” line that explains that a $19.99 subscription is required for full access to the site. We have a grip of content, and at the cost of 1-2 magazines, you getting some serious fantasy updates over the course of a fantasy season… and our specialty here at DraftCalc is sleepers and breakouts, I recommend you read here: http://draftcalc.com/about/
And how do you get 1.01 and 1.04 in any draft??
Anon,
These drafts are on the live chat feature and we normally don’t have 12 guys on there drafting, so everyone who is participating in the mock picks a player whenever you think they deserve it. Smitty’s only rule is don’t pick twice in a row. But it still gives you an idea of where everyone is valuing players.
And with the 2nd round preview, it’s one of the perks of getting the subscription.
you can see all 5 rounds of the draft. Trust me, it’s something you will not regret purchasing!
This is correct. Because we can slam through these mocks so fast via our live chat feature, we allow everyone to keep picking, just as long as you don’t pick twice in a row. It creates some solid mock drafts with some solid groups of people.
I miss the old Draft calc already. I enjoyed getting all of your sleepers, busts, breakouts and predictions last year for free. If I was going to pay for that stuff this is the one I would pay for though. I would also expect to read about a different sleeper or prediction every single day and not just once every couple of weeks. I am already starting to miss those!
We are more updated than any other fantasy site I can find. Check out all of the 2013 articles we already have on the homepage. Dynasty and redraft mocks, our rankings and projections are year round, our start bench advice usually goes up in a couple weeks, yep, even before we even have week 1 match-ups. That’s just how we do it. And, our rookie rankings and analysis, we are all over that like no other. It’s like August around these parts!
It’s pretty difficult to have a new sleeper every day in the off-season. Not sure how that would even be possible. I’ve been to and been a member of many different sites, have even been a moderator on another, and this is by far the best one I’ve been to yet. Only fantasy site worth someones hard earned money IMO. I can fully understand one not wanting to pay for any site though in this economy but if you are going to pay for one this is it.
Yep, we could release sleepers every day but then everyone would be a sleeper by the time the season hit. That said, we just released a grip of early 2013 Sleepers here:

…believe me, our sleeper content is up to date, and it always ramps up each month we near August.
In this economy LMAO!! Maybe the upper middle-class is hurting (comparatively?), but everyone below that is making just as much if not more money, with more government assistance and a higher percentage of wages returned when you file taxes…Sorry to go all political, but HE STARTED IT
