2024 NFL Mock Draft: First-Round Picks & Predictions

1. Chicago Bears (from Panthers): Caleb Williams (QB – USC)

This might have been a more difficult decision if Caleb Williams was a lesser quarterback prospect. Although the Bears went 4-2 over the last six games of the year, Justin Fields still hasn’t shown enough to pass on an elite creator like Williams. It’s worth mentioning that general manager Ryan Poles was in Kansas City when Patrick Mahomes was drafted but didn’t get to Chicago until Fields’ second season.

2. Washington Commanders: Drake Maye (QB – North Carolina)

Is it possible Washington could go with Jayden Daniels over Drake Maye? Let’s see who they end up hiring as head coach. However, I’ve seen more from Maye on tape that directly translates to the pro game. Fellow Tar Heel Sam Howell melted down near the end of the year (four touchdowns to 12 interceptions in the last seven games), but there’s not much similarity between them, so I don’t think it matters.

3. New England Patriots: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – Ohio State)

Could this be Daniels? Certainly, depending on who the Patriots bring in as general manager and offensive coordinator. For now, I’m not going to rush into that, especially given how much support new head coach Jerod Mayo has from Robert Kraft. Hopefully, the Mac Jones experiment showed New England how a lack of supporting cast talent can derail a quarterback’s development.

6. New York Giants: Rome Odunze (WR – Washington)

The sixth pick looks difficult to project because the Giants have various solid options at positions of need here. I don’t think they’ll eat $47 million in dead cap to dump Daniel Jones, but they could go with almost any of the top-skill players. This was the second-worst passing offense in the league, and I think they’re missing a big-bodied receiver to complement their speedier, smaller options.

7. Tennessee Titans: Malik Nabers (WR – LSU)

This could be something like a tackle if one of the top two makes it, but I think Chris Hubbard played relatively well before getting hurt. We all know Will Levis has a cannon for an arm, and I think Malik Nabers would make a lot of sense here, too, given that his game is based around slot fades. He’d add dynamism to an offense that went with a less-explosive receiver corps of DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks.

8. Atlanta Falcons: Jayden Daniels (QB – LSU)

I didn’t have to spend too much time thinking about who the Falcons would take here. Atlanta has a good supporting cast in place and could build a fun offense with a dynamic athlete like Jayden Daniels. If unavailable, I could imagine a wide receiver here, as one could slide down the board if New England took Daniels third overall. A defensive back could work, but I don’t know if the value is quite there yet.

13. Las Vegas Raiders: Brock Bowers (TE – Georgia)

It’s surprising how well-rounded the Raiders are despite picking this high. Claiming Jack Jones on waivers gave them another affordable young corner to play with Nate Hobbs, and they have various weapons, with good blocking up front on offense while rushing the passer well. If their next coach continues to run two TE sets as much as the Raiders did this year, how about Brock Bowers to replace Austin Hooper‘s 556 snaps?

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – LSU)

Although the receivers available now and in the mid-to-late second round are ranked fairly closely to me, I went receiver here. Tackle play has been a problem, too, but the Chiefs are committed to Jawaan Taylor long-term. The team has defended the pass very well as a collective, although the picture at safety is muddy. Mike Edwards‘s deal is expiring, and Justin Reid looks overpaid, with $10.75 million in savings if he’s cut.

32. Baltimore Ravens: Keon Coleman (WR – Florida State)

Odell Beckham Jr. will be a free agent, and it looks like Nelson Agholor‘s contract is voiding, too, so I went with a third receiver here to complement Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers. Defensively, the team is loaded, so that shouldn’t be a major consideration, at least until free agency occurs. A guard could make some sense, but the value’s not there with Barton off the board, and even he might be a bit of a reach.
