Mock Draft: FantasyPros Simulator 10-Team Position 3 (Grade A)

Okay, I decided just to do my first Mock Draft this year on FantasyPros.com, having done no preparation so far. This just uses a simulator for the other nine teams and isn't against real people, but it's a good first start, and there's no clock; so I don't have to rush my picks as much.

Puka Nacua and Jahmyr Gibbs were the next two off the board. I got 3.10 Jalen Hurts and 4.01 James Cook with my next two picks. Starting the draft with three players f...
