Podcast2026 Superflex Mock Draft: Expert Strategies, Picks & Sleepers with Rich Hribar...September 1, 2026

From the episode

I've been workshopping like a take on why you should take CMC third... I get it. McCaffrey's not for everyone. He comes with red flags, but we know he's the one player that can rival the archetype of the two players at the top. And you can take Christian McCaffrey plus receiver receiver or receiver running back. You just have more flexibility.

McCaffrey is a strong 1.03 pick for his unique upside and roster flexibility.

Rich Hribar argues that Christian McCaffrey is a viable 1.03 pick in non-superflex formats because he is the only player who can rival the archetype of the top two picks, allowing for more roster flexibility in subsequent rounds.
