As the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine concluded, it provided valuable insights into the upcoming NFL Draft and the rising crop of prospects. With potential trades and a reshuffling of positions, here's a breakdown of the second mock draft of the year.

The Chicago Bears are predicted to make a surprising move by selecting USC quarterback, Caleb Williams. This selection would come as a shock considering Williams' talent and potential.

The Commanders, led by offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, are expected to pick LSU quarterback, Kedon Daniels. Kingsbury's success with dual-threat quarterbacks in college and the NFL makes Daniels an ideal choice for the Commanders.

Despite not performing well at the combine, team feedback on Maye's interviews and whiteboard work has been overwhelmingly positive. This prompts the selection of Maye as a quarterback for a team in need.

In terms of wide receiver choices, there is a lack of consensus on the order of the top prospects. However, LSU wide receiver Nabers, known for his explosive play and ability to work at all three levels of the field, is a strong candidate for selection.

The Chargers, in need of a tackle, might consider trading their pick. However, a strong performance by Ohio State's Harrison Jr. against Michigan's coach, Jim Harbaugh, may warrant his selection for the Chargers.

While many New York Giants fans are eager for a change at quarterback, the team is faced with the decision to draft a top tackle instead. Latham, a highly regarded offensive tackle from Alabama, presents a major opportunity for the Giants.

Tennessee has the choice between receiver Rome Odunze or a tackle, but ultimately opts for Alt, a safer option at the tackle position from Notre Dame. Alt's outstanding skills and reliability make him an appealing choice for the Titans.

The Atlanta Falcons might engage in a trade with the Bears for quarterback Justin Fields or potentially sign Kirk Cousins. If that happens, they would shift their focus to the pass rush and select a game-ready powerhouse.

The Denver Broncos are poised to re-enter the quarterback market, moving up in the draft to secure a young signal-caller with significant potential. This pick would provide coach Sean Payton with a player to mold.

The Jets need to bolster their offensive line, and Oregon State's Fuaga emerges as a potential candidate to protect their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

Washington, with the opportunity to add talent to support their quarterback Caleb Williams, chooses a pass catcher or a pass rusher in a trade. This decision boosts the team's overall performance.

The article concludes with predictions for the remaining picks, including the selections of a tackle by the Dallas Cowboys, a guard by the Green Bay Packers, and a cornerback by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These picks are based on the teams' respective needs and the talent available in the draft.

As teams prepare for the NFL Draft, these projected trades and selections will undoubtedly shape the future of each franchise. Fans eagerly await the draft day to see which rising prospects will don their team's jersey in the upcoming season.
