MOCK NFL DRAFTS
Pick Team Pos Player
#1
Bears
QB
No surprises here. Caleb Williams headlines the 2024 draft.
#2
Commanders
QB
I can see this pick very well being JJ McCarthy from Michigan, but signs are certainly pointing to this selection being Jayden Daniels of LSU.
#3
Patriots
QB
Drake Maye
North Carolina
Drake Maye makes a ton of sense for the Patriots. I think New England is comfortable making him their guy.
#4
Broncos

Cardinals
QB
J.J. McCarthy
Michigan
I believe Denver will be aggressive in their pursuit of a franchise quarterback. Sources tell me the Broncos are one of the teams with a premier grade on McCarthy.
#5
Chargers
OT
JC Latham
Alabama
Most will assume this pick will be Marvin Harrison Jr., and while the logic is there, Jim Harbaugh's mojo is building from the inside out. Latham is a monster.
#6
Giants
WR
This is probably the floor for Harrison, the former Buckeyes star. The Giants are likely to nab the top receiver on the board if they miss out on Drake Maye. I'm told the Giants have a high grade on Harrison Jr.
#7
Titans
OT
Joe Alt
Notre Dame
Alt will likely be a top tackle off the board, and many are expecting him to be the seventh overall pick to the Titans, who need offensive line reinforcements.
#8
Jaguars

Falcons
WR
The Jaguars have been working the phones, ringing teams in the top-10, likely in pursuit of a top receiver. Nabers fits the Jaguars' thresholds.
#9
Cardinals

Bears
WR
Rome Odunze
Washington
After sliding down to pick twelve, the Cardinals move back up to pick nine where they secure a WR1. I don't expect the Cardinals to move out of the top-10 comfortably. They will likely do some shuffling.
#10
Jets
TE
Brock Bowers
Georgia
I expect the Jets to seek a pass catcher with this pick, and I don't see a better fit than Brock Bowers.
#11
Vikings
LB
I think the Vikings would only sell off heavy assets if Drake Maye was available. They may be high on JJ McCarthy, but I think they are only a circumstantial trade up team. I don't see them winning the Drake Maye sweepstakes, as I believe he is locked into the Patriots' selection at three, and I ultimately see Minnesota opting to take the top defensive player here. In this case, it's Alabama's Dallas Turner.
#12
Bears

Broncos
DL
The Bears are high on Murphy II. Being able to move down and still select him would be a dream scenario for them.
#13
Raiders
OT
Troy Fautanu
Washington
Troy Fautanu, the local product from Liberty High, makes a ton of sense for the Raiders, who need to add to their offensive line. Fautanu has a few top-10 grades throughout the league.
#14
Saints
OT
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Penn State
With a need at tackle and questions surrounding the futures of both Ryan Ramczyk and Trevor Penning, I can see the Saints taking Penn State's Olu Fashanu, a bookend tackle.
#15
Colts
CB
Mitchell has fans in the Colts' building and may not even make it to this selection. This could be a strong marriage.
#16
Seahawks
OT
Taliese Fuaga
Oregon State
I can see the Seahawks going local and drafting Oregon State's Taliese Fuaga, who played at Mt. Tahoma high school, an hour from Seattle. They need help on the offensive line and Fuaga has the versatility to play multiple spots on the line.
#17
Falcons

Jaguars
CB
Arnold is a strong fit in Raheem Morris' defense and is one of the more mature players in the class. I think the Falcons will envy him for his character.
#18
Bengals
DE
Jared Verse
Florida State
Jared Verse might get selected before the eighteenth pick, but in the case that he is available, I could see the Bengals opting to strengthen their defensive line with the FSU pass rusher.
#19
Rams
WR
This pick will very likely be an offensive player. Would it shock you if Sean McVay and company added more talent to their receiver group? It would not shock me.
#20
Steelers
OT
The Steelers seem to be on the hunt for a center, and Graham Barton from Duke is a perfect fit. General manager Omar Khan has stressed the importance of versatility in his offensive linemen. Those signs point to Barton.
#21
Dolphins
DL
The Dolphins have staff connections to Johnny Newton, making him an immediate fit, not even to mention the recent loss of star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.
#22
Eagles
CB
DeJean makes sense for the Eagles, and in conversations with those familiar with the Eagles decision makers, most agree with that sentiment. He's a versatile and rangey defensive back.
#23
Vikings
QB
Michael Penix Jr.
Washington
I can envision the Vikings going defense at eleven and then taking their chances on a guy like Bo Nix or Michael Penix Jr. at twenty-three. I'll give a slight edge to Penix.
#24
Cowboys
C
Zach Frazier
West Virginia
I've heard nothing but good things about Zach Frazier and his ability to compete next level. The Cowboys are such a good fit for his playing tendencies.
#25
Packers
OT
Tyler Guyton
Oklahoma
The Packers are looking for movers in the run game. Drafting Guyton would also give the Packers the ability to move Zach Tom to center in a year.
#26
Buccaneers
DE
Latu has a medical history that will throw some teams off, and naturally, that sounds like a player who will get selected in the twenties. I'd be jaw dropped to see the Bucs pass on Latu if he's available, though.
#27
Cardinals
CB
Nate Wiggins
Clemson
Here, the Cardinals add to their defensive back unit and select who is likely the best player available in Clemson's Nate Wiggins.
#28
Bills
WR
Keon Coleman
Florida State
Coleman makes a lot of sense for Buffalo, who is seemingly on the hunt for a big bodied receiver. His tape showed that he was faster than what he ran at the combine. He is shaping up to be a fringe first round pick.
#29
Lions
CB
McKinstry is a good fit for the Lions, who dipped into the Alabama defensive back well just last year in Brian Branch. The Lions could use extra help in their secondary.
#30
Ravens
OT
Jordan Morgan makes a ton of sense for Baltimore. This is one of the fits I'm most confident about.
#31
49ers
OT
Roger Rosengarten
Washington
Rosengarten may not be a first round pick, but because the 49ers are on the back end of the first round, it is possible. They are high on Rosengarten, who they've been in contact with heavily throughout the process.
#32
Chiefs
OT
Patrick Paul
Houston
This pick is likely to be a left tackle, and Patrick Paul is a perfect fit for Kansas City.
