The 2024 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a quarterback extravaganza, with early picks likely dominated by signal-callers like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. These guys are sure to go fast, so once they're off the board, the real draft excitement begins.
The Chicago Bears are in the spotlight with the No. 1 pick, a result of their savvy move trading with the Carolina Panthers before last year's draft. After dealing Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier, the Bears are expected to snag Williams. Despite a history of quarterback woes, Chicago's got a solid setup with D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, and Cole Kmet ready to catch Williams' passes.
While quarterbacks steal the show, don't overlook the talent at wide receiver and on the offensive line. In our latest mock draft, we had a whopping 11 offensive linemen going in the first 33 picks, and seven wide receivers projected to be first-rounders. Keep an eye out for Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr., our top prospect in this class according to analyst J.P. Acosta's final big board.
Looking for value? The defensive line and secondary might be where it's at. Despite the early offensive frenzy, pass rushers like Florida State’s Jared Verse, UCLA’s Laiatu Latu, and Alabama’s Dallas Turner could all be snatched up in the first 15 picks. And don't forget about Alabama cornerback Ga’Quincy ‘Kool-Aid’ McKinstry, a likely early DB pick with a killer nickname and a backstory to match.
