Fantasy Football 2016 Rookie Mock Draft: Round 1

1.04: Josh Doctson, WR, Washington Redskins

Drafter Comments

"Josh Doctson is the number-two player on my rookie board, so I'm ecstatic to select him at fourth overall. He's an elite playmaker with perhaps the best ball skills of any receiver in this class. While other rookie wideouts landed in spots with less crowded depth charts, the cream almost always rises to the top, and Doctson's competition shouldn't deter you from drafting him. At worst, Doctson will be Washington's WR1 in 2017. However, his natural talent could allow him to leap Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson to become the team's leading wide receiver in his rookie season." -- Brian Jester

Other Comments

"This is really a no-brainer here. There's so much to love about Doctson -- hands, leaping ability and body control, to name a few. The only negative is his age; he'll already be 24 by the end of next season. For reference, Treadwell will turn 21 in June." -- Austan

"I have some serious reservations on Doctson with respect to his age, but he crushed his final collegiate season as well as the NFL Combine." -- Anthony
