It's our favorite time of the year, when we have our NFL draft analysts build superteams made up solely of players from this year's class. Mel Kiper Jr., Matt Miller, Jordan Reid and Field Yates played out a 10-round, 40-pick draft to build the ultimate fantasy teams of draft prospects. For the full draft and some spirited debate, check out the newest edition of the "First Draft" podcast.
Here's how this worked: Kiper, Miller, Reid and Yates snake-drafted to fill out starting lineups. Each roster had specific required positions: one quarterback, one running back, two pass catchers, one offensive tackle, one interior offensive lineman, two front-seven defenders and two defensive backs. Our experts were allowed to draft positions in any order and move the more versatile prospects around a little bit. (You might see some offensive tackles kick to the interior even if that won't happen in the NFL.)
The superteam draft also provided a unique way of looking at the class, touching on positional value, how each analyst stacks his personal board and which prospects could provide the most impact at the next level. Which team ended up with the best offense and most dominant defense? Let's start at the top with Miller and then go pick by pick.

The picks
The draft order was randomized, with Miller landing the first pick. But because it is a snake format, Yates had back-to-back selections at Nos. 4 and 5, and Miller didn't pick again after No. 1 until No. 8. And no trades were allowed.
