The anticipation for the 2024 NFL Draft is reaching new heights as mock drafts flood in, providing a glimpse into what teams could potentially do. With just three months to go, experts have put together an extensive two-round mock draft, complete with trades.
While the first few picks seem relatively predictable, the draft becomes a potential minefield of surprises and chaos thereafter. Additionally, this draft is touted as deep in talent, especially at positions like wide receiver and cornerback.
The Chicago Bears kick off the mock draft by selecting USC's standout quarterback, Caleb Williams. Experts believe that the Bears should trade current quarterback Justin Fields, as he has struggled to develop as a passer, throwing 30 interceptions in 40 games. Williams, on the other hand, is seen as a top-16 NFL quarterback upon entry into the league.
The Washington Commanders follow suit by nabbing the consensus second-ranked quarterback, Drake Maye from UNC. Maye's complete skill set and potential have drawn comparisons to NFL star Justin Herbert. The Commanders hope that Maye can turn around their struggling franchise.
Next up, the New England Patriots, who are eager to secure a top QB prospect, find themselves settling for Jayden Daniels from LSU. Despite not being their ideal choice, the Patriots see potential in Daniels, whose collegiate career mirrors that of Joe Burrow, adding an intriguing dynamic to the pick. The Patriots aim to find a much-needed upgrade from current quarterback Mac Jones.
The Arizona Cardinals, at number four, opt for Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Although the Cardinals may have considered a quarterback selection under different circumstances, they are content with their dual-threat passer, Kyler Murray. By drafting Harrison Jr., they hope to give Murray an elite target with the size and skill to become a true WR1 in the NFL. Notably, Harrison Jr. is the son of legendary wide receiver Marvin Harrison.
As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, all eyes will be on these top picks and potential trades. Fans and analysts alike eagerly await to see how these selections will shape the future of these teams and potentially reshape the NFL landscape. Only time will tell if these mock drafts accurately predict the actual draft outcome.
With the draft just around the corner, the excitement is palpable, and football enthusiasts everywhere eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the next generation of NFL talent.
