The first round of the 2024 NFL draft is less than three weeks away. There is little mystery at the top of the draft, with the Chicago Bears selecting first overall. The real fun begins at No. 2 with the Washington Commanders. Washington is likely to select a quarterback, but which one?
How many quarterbacks will go in the top five? For the first time in NFL history, will four quarterbacks go in the first four picks? How many offensive tackles go in the first round?
With the first month of free agency in the books, we have a clearer picture of each team’s needs. Here’s our latest mock draft which features multiple trades, including the Commanders coming back up into the first round.
1. Chicago Bears: USC QB Caleb Williams
No mystery here.
2. Washington Commanders: UNC QB Drake Maye
The Commanders opt for Drake Maye over Jayden Daniels here.
3. (TRADE) Minnesota Vikings from New England Patriots: Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy
After seeing Maye go off the board, the Vikings are taking no chances here, sending both their first-round picks and more to the Patriots to move up to No. 3 and select McCarthy. It’s surprising to see Daniels still on the board.
4. (TRADE) Las Vegas Raiders from Arizona Cardinals: LSU QB Jayden Daniels
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce can’t believe Jayden Daniels is still on the board as the Raiders make a huge move here to land the quarterback they love. Pierce has known Daniels since they were both at Arizona State.
5. Los Angeles Chargers: Notre Dame OT Joe Alt
New coach Jim Harbaugh adds a franchise left tackle, giving the Chargers two stud young tackles to protect Justin Herbert.
6. (TRADE) Chicago Bears from New York Giants: Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
Ncaa Football Rutgers Scarlet Knights At Ohio State Buckeyes
Shocked to see Marvin Harrison Jr. on the board, Chicago GM Ryan Poles moves up three spots to pair the draft’s top receiver with Caleb Williams. The Giants can still add a wide receiver.
7. Tennessee Titans: Oregon State OT Taliese Fuaga
The Titans need OL help here and opt for Fuaga over Olu Fashanu — a bit of a surprise.
8. Atlanta Falcons: Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner
The Falcons almost went with LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers here, but after spending so many resources on offense this offseason, they get a star pass rusher.
9. New York Giants from Chicago Bears: LSU WR Malik Nabers
The Giants can’t believe their luck, moving down and adding someone they considered at No. 6. A win for New York.
10. New York Jets: Georgia TE Brock Bowers
Instead of adding offensive line help, the Jets gave quarterback Aaron Rodgers another weapon. Bowers is excellent. However, are the Jets too confident in a pair of aging tackles to protect their 40-year-old QB coming off an Achilles injury?
11. New England Patriots from Vikings: Washington QB Michael Penix Jr.
Is it a surprise to see Penix go this high? Maybe, but he is a legit future NFL starter. And he can play right away. Now, it is about adding help around him. The Patriots receive a bounty of picks, move down, and still land a passer.
12. Denver Broncos: Florida State EDGE Jared Verse
The Broncos have lots of holes and attempted to move up, but the Raiders and Vikings had better offers. So, the Broncos go with an excellent pass rusher in Jared Verse.
13. Arizona Cardinals from Raiders: Washington WR Rome Odunze
The Cardinals are sitting pretty for the next couple of drafts with an abundance of picks due to smart trades. Here, they land their future No. 1 wide receiver, Washington’s Rome Odunze—a steal here for Arizona.
14. (TRADE) Washington Commanders from New Orleans Saints: Penn State OT Olu Fashanu
Washington GM Adam Peters is shocked to see Fashanu on the board, so he makes a big move, trading both of the Commanders’ second-round picks and another selection to grab their franchise left tackle. Washington coming away with Maye and Fashanu could be franchise-altering moves.
15. Indianapolis Colts: UCLA EDGE Laiatu Latu
The Colts wished Washington had moved here, but they stick at No. 15 and landed a productive, high-effort edge rusher in Laiatu Latu.
16. Seattle Seahawks: Texas DT Byron Murphy II
New head coach Mike Macdonald needs help on the D-line and adds a stud interior rusher to kick off his defensive rebuild.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell
The Jaguars land perhaps the draft’s top cornerback, Mitchell. Had Mitchell played in the SEC, he may have gone in the top 10—a future All-Pro.
18. Cincinnati Bengals: LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr.
The Bengals listened to trade offers but rarely ever move. Here, they add Tee Higgins’ future replacement, ensuring that Joe Burrow will have a top option across from Ja’Marr Chase for years to come.
19. Los Angeles Rams: Illinois DT Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton
Aaron Donald’s retirement left a massive hole that can never be filled, but the Rams must try. Newton is an excellent plug-and-play first-round pick who will help the Rams immediately.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Washington OT Troy Fautanu
The Steelers are sitting pretty here with needs along the offensive line and several top options remaining. Fautanu could go as high as No. 10, so Pittsburgh is happy here because he can play tackle or kick inside to guard. Regardless, he’s a first-year starter.
21. Miami Dolphins: Alabama OT JC Latham
Another player falls that could easily land inside the top 10 or 15. Latham gives the Dolphins immediate help on the offensive line. Miami could go in several directions here, but Latham is too good to pass up.
22. Philadelphia Eagles: Duke OL Graham Barton
Surprise. We thought of going with Alabama CB Terrion Arnold here, but Eagles GM Howie Roseman places an emphasis on the trenches. Graham Barton is outstanding, and he can play tackle or guard for the Eagles. On an offensive line that is getting older, Barton’s addition is vital.
23. New England Patriots from Vikings via Texans: Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton
The Patriots follow the Commanders’ path here by selecting a quarterback and future left tackle with two first-round picks. Guyton has a high ceiling.
24. Dallas Cowboys: Arizona OT Jordan Morgan
The Cowboys badly need an offensive tackle. Morgan was a terrific college player and immediately becomes the starting left tackle in Dallas.
25. Green Bay Packers: Alabama CB Terrion Arnold
The Packers always find good value, and Arnold represents tremendous value here. Green Bay could also go with an offensive tackle.
26: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson
The Buccaneers are thrilled to have the draft’s top center fall into their laps. Powers-Johnson is a perfect replacement for Ryan Jensen.
27: Arizona Cardinals from Texans: Clemson CB Nate Wiggins
The Cardinals after an earlier trade down, pick here because of last year’s trade down. Arizona lands Nate Wiggins, giving it a playmaking cornerback for head coach Jonathan Gannon—a good first round for the Cards.
28. Buffalo Bills: Texas WR Adonai Mitchell
The Bills have no choice but to select a wide receiver here. Mitchell has a ton of potential due to his size/speed combination. He gives Josh Allen something much different from Stefon Diggs. Don’t be surprised if Allen helps Mitchell become a star.
29. Detroit Lions: Alabama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry
The Lions need more help in the secondary and are thrilled to see McKinstry fall to them. Detroit will look for help at guard in the second round.
30. Baltimore Ravens: BYU OT Kingsley Suamataia
The Ravens need some help on the offensive line here, and they chose Suamataia. The BYU star is young and hasn’t even come close to reaching his potential. The Ravens will help him get there—and soon.
No. 31: San Francisco 49ers: Georgia OT Amarius Mims
The perfect pick for the 49ers. If Mims reaches his full potential, watch out. Trent Williams is amazing but he can’t play forever. In Mims, San Francisco lands a super-raw prospect with some question marks. However, with good coaching, he can be a franchise cornerstone. He can play right tackle as a rookie.
No. 32: Kansas City Chiefs: Texas WR Xavier Worthy
Patrick Mahomes throwing to Xavier Worthy? Watch out. This is a perfect place for Worthy. Add Worthy to a young group that includes Rashee Rice, and Mahomes immediately has a potentially dominant group of offensive playmakers.
