So, you were lucky enough to secure one of the top picks in your Fantasy draft for the 2021 season. If you have the No. 1 overall pick, you're likely taking Christian McCaffrey, but how will the rest of the draft unfold? After making your first selection, you'll be left waiting for roughly 20 picks (or more, depending on the size of your league) before you're on the clock again. Anything could happen in between your first and second picks, and if you haven't had the time to do many mock drafts, you could easily find yourself unprepared for how to best build out the rest of your roster after anchoring it with one of the top running backs.

Fortunately, Fantasy expert Jacob Gibbs has done several mock drafts from each part of the draft this offseason and has you covered!

If you're starting your Fantasy football draft research or scouring the Internet for Fantasy rankings, you NEED to see what SportsLine's highly-rated expert Jacob Gibbs has to say. The highly-accurate expert dives deep into the data and uses his advanced analytical approach to dominate Fantasy leagues year in and year out.

Now, Gibbs has prepared an in-depth round-by-round guide to help you dominate your draft, no matter which pick you have in the draft. If you have one of the top four picks, you're in the right place. If picking in the middle of the order or at the back-end of the first round, Gibbs has a guide coming for you later in the week.

So who are the top players at every position, and the top 150 players overall? Which breakout do you need to own, and which bust do you need to avoid? Which overlooked wideout can win you your league? ...
