We’re about one month out from the 2024 NFL Draft. Here’s my full three-round 2024 NFL Mock Draft of how the puzzle pieces are currently falling. In terms of pick volume, this is a step back from my previous version that went six rounds deep, but I make up for that with some written insights behind each first-round pick and select picks in rounds two and three.
Below we dive into a few notable rookies selected in my latest 2024 NFL Mock Draft.
2024 NFL Mock Draft
1. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams (QB – USC)
I wish there was more drama surrounding the first overall pick but Caleb Williams is heading to the Windy City.
4. Arizona Cardinals: Malik Nabers (WR – LSU)
It might be disappointing for the Cardinals to get sniped by one pick for Marvin Harrison Jr. There’s enough of the “teams have Harrison and Nabers ranked similarly” narrative going around for me to buy into its validity. Also, as ridiculous as it sounds, I wouldn’t be shocked if Arizona sees Michael Wilson‘s skill set closer to Harrison’s than that of any other wide receiver on their roster to Nabers’.
8. Las Vegas Raiders: Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU) *TRADE ALERT*
- Falcons Trade: 2024 Round 1 Pick (8th Overall)
- Raiders Trade: 2024 Round 1 Pick (13th Overall), 2024 Round 2 Pick (44th Overall), 2025 Round 2 Pick
And there goes Jayden Daniels, finally. I have confidence one of the ‘Big 4′ QB prospects will “fall” — one does every year, without fail, and 2024 won’t be any different despite what everyone is saying. Daniels’ lack of testing coupled with his older age (compared to his peers) is a weird combination and, even putting that aside, there are some parallels here to Justin Fields‘ slide to pick 11 in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Antonio Pierce, who led Daniels’ recruitment to Arizona State, shouldn’t let Daniels fall as far as Fields, though. We should also take a step back and acknowledge how much of a net win this would still be for Daniels, considering how low his stock was heading into the 2023 college football season.
15. Indianapolis Colts: Adonai Mitchell (WR – Texas)
This one is a wild card, especially with some major prospects still on the board, but I’m calling my shot. I’m letting a bit of personal evaluation slip into this objective exercise; I am wildly high on Adonai Mitchell’s game. But all bias aside, Mitchell fits the bill of legendary athleticism the Colts draft for. His dynamic skill set would nicely complement Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs. Indianapolis has some other roster weaknesses but they should not stop prioritizing surrounding Anthony Richardson with as much talent as possible.
