2024 NFL Mock Draft: Malik Nabers, Jared Verse, Marvin Harrison Jr.

Now that the Super Bowl is officially in the books, I decided to take another look at how the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft could turn out. Numerous picks have been changed since my last attempt, in part to reflect changes in the stocks of different prospects, in part based on a further review of team needs, and in part for the sake of experimentation. Here is my latest full 2024 NFL Mock Draft. Below we dive into a few notable picks.

2024 NFL Mock Draft

4. Arizona Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – Ohio State)

Things would get very interesting if the Cardinals missed out Harrison, but if he’s available, it seems like the most obvious of the first four picks in the draft, given the marriage of need and value. Arizona paid a heavy price for Marquise “Hollywood” Brown back in 2022, but he’s probably better off as a complementary receiver. I like what Michael Wilson showed in his rookie season, but not enough to pass on a truly elite wideout prospect.

8. Atlanta Falcons – Malik Nabers (WR – LSU)

Last time, this pick was Jayden Daniels, and I think it’d be an easy choice to opt for a quarterback if one of the top three were available. Otherwise, it’s possible Atlanta could decide to continue adding offensive weapons. While Drake London and Kyle Pitts are two very talented pieces, Nabers brings a totally different skillset to the offense.

9. Chicago Bears – Jared Verse (DE – Florida State)

Which edge rusher stands atop this year’s class is somewhat of an open question, but I think most would agree that Verse is the most powerful bull-rusher of the top options. That seems like a good fit for the Bears, who favor bigger, power-based rushers. Pairing Verse with Montez Sweat would give the team a pair of high-end bookends on the defensive line.
