With the NFL Draft just days away, my 2024 NFL Mock Draft 5.0 is LIVE. My second-to-last mock.
Teams’ needs have changed drastically with all the transactions in free agency, impacting how they approach the top prospects in the draft. Some teams that looked to be in the market for certain positions among the 2024 NFL rookie class may be going in a different direction than a few weeks back.
Hence, I’ve created the 2024 NFL Draft Needs For All 32 NFL Teams Post-Free Agency – as my guide to align this latest mock draft with what NFL teams will do when they are on the clock. I’ve also conducted a deep dive into the historical trends of each team’s major decision-makers to project how they will approach Round 1 of the NFL Draft.
Note that I will also be using my remaining mock drafts following the “Huddle Reports” mock draft contest. The rules are simple: One point for a player selected in Round 1. A player matched to a team is worth two points. Ergo, it’s more important to me in this exercise to focus on player-to-team and players selected in Round 1 generally, not so much on where a player is selected (numerically).
As a bonus (we love extra content), I took a look back at how past mock drafts have fared since 2018. Just some food for thought as you put the final touches on your personal mock draft. You can find it here along with my full latest 2024 NFL Mock Draft.
I used that information – along with the data I found in my team’s needs and historical trends articles – to construct this mock. But for now, let’s dive into a few notable 2024 NFL Mock Draft picks.

2024 NFL Mock Draft
2) Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels (QB – LSU)
The buzz for Jayden Daniels to Washington has been building. I am praying my +120 bet for Daniels to go second overall comes through. Find more of my 2024 NFL Draft bets in my BettingPros Prop Bet Card.
5) Los Angeles Chargers: Brock Bowers (TE – Georgia)
The Chargers selection at No.5 overall is where mock drafts go to die. Embrace it. Jim Harbaugh loves tight ends.
9) Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze (WR – Washington)
Again…how high is too high to draft Caleb Williams in fantasy?
28) Buffalo Bills: Xavier Worthy (WR – Texas)
Brandon Beane doesn’t want typical “No.1 WRs.” Well, Xavier Worthy doesn’t look like an “X,” and he fits a role that could be nice with Josh Allen.
