With the pro days of all the top QB prospects in the rearview mirror, we've officially reached the home stretch of the pre-draft process. The 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit will be here in a few short weeks, and yet there's still so much unknown about how Round 1 will shake out. 

Will the top-four picks be quarterbacks for the first time in NFL history? If so, what order will they come off the board? And how will this impact the other positions, especially at wide receiver and offensive line where there are multiple blue-chip prospects?

Former longtime Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden and NFL Draft insider Ryan Wilson came together recently to try and answer those questions in a joint mock draft. The guys rotated picks and were allowed to trade, which resulted in one team moving up for a QB and another climbing the board for a pass-protector.

See how it all unfolded below!

Rick Spielman -- This is a no-brainer for the former longtime Vikings GM. "This kid is big, he is athletic, he can make all the necessary throws, he has tremendous arm talent. I think he's a great leader. ... This year, he probably did too much, forcing too many throws into coverage, which resulted in interceptions, but I think this kid is a perfect fit for (new Patriots OC) Alex Van Pelt's offense."

Ryan Wilson -- The Vikings trade up to select J.J. McCarthy, marking the first time in NFL history QBs were taken with the first four picks of the draft. Bryant McFadden doesn't necessarily agree. "I like J.J. McCarthy, guys, I really do. But I think this is a spot for J.J. where he's kind of being overdrafted."

Bryant McFadden -- Jim Harbaugh said that having the No. 5 pick is basically like picking first for a team who doesn't need a QB, and that's how it shakes out in this mock draft. The Chargers, after unloading Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason, get one of the best WR prospects in recent memory in Marvin Harrison Jr.

Rick Spielman -- The Giants addressed their offensive line in free agency and, in Rick's words, "stole" Brian Burns from the Panthers via trade. Still, they need playmakers, and Nabers is "the most explosive player with the ball in his hands after the catch (in this class), probably the fastest receiver up in this area, so he's going to bring an instant impact and big-play ability to the New York Giants offense."
Round 1 - Pick 7
Notre Dame • 6'8" / 322 lbs

Ryan Wilson -- This was a no-brainer with the first six picks being QBs and WRs. Joe Alt pairs with last year's first round pick, guard Peter Skoronski, along the Titans offensive line. "Joe Alt is taller than many trees you might see outside, he moves well in space, he's a pretty good athlete. ... I love this pick, and so does Will Levis."
Round 1 - Pick 8
Florida State • 6'4" / 260 lbs

Projected Team

Atlanta

PROSPECT RNK

11th

POSITION RNK

Bryant McFadden -- This is his No. 1 edge rusher in the class, and here's why: "He's a do-it-all defensive player. We know he can rush the passer and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but his ability to be stout against the run is huge, especially when you're talking about being a difference-maker in the National Football League."

Rick Spielman -- The Bears could look WR here, but they really need an edge rusher opposite Montez Sweat. That's why Dallas Turner is the pick. "I think he has as quick of a first-step as (fellow former Alabama edge rusher) Will Anderson Jr. ... He can also drop into coverage, but this guy is going to make his money rushing the passer."

Ryan Wilson: Instead of taking one of the top offensive tackles to protect Aaron Rodgers, Wilson has the Jets going with Rome Odunze. Bryant McFadden loves the former Washington standout. "He's pro ready. When you talk about his measurables, I was really excited to see Rome run in the 4.4s in Indy (at the combine). That was the only concern I had regrading his ability to be a huge, impactful player. ... Sure-handed guy, smooth route-runner as well. Just his ability to create separation, at the top of the route, is very, very important because often times, that's where receivers win when you're playing against the best in the National Football League."

Arizona

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

1st
Bryant McFadden -- The Cardinals have a lot of needs, so trading back was smart. With their first of three first-round picks, they go with Quinyon Mitchell. "Talented corner, lockdown corner from Toledo. Had an outstanding collegiate career, but he actually got his stamp of approval down in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. He was dominant in 1-on-1 opportunities, he was dominant in 11-on-11 drills as well. He showcased fluid technique, ball skills and a very, very aggressive mentality that jump him into this spot to where the Arizona Cardinals feel like he's a difference-maker that that secondary needs."

"You got the second-best left tackle and one of the biggest needs on my offensive line, and maybe on my football team."

Bryant McFadden -- 2022 first-round pick Trevor Penning has yet to live up to expectations, so the Saints select Taliese Fuaga to pair with former All-Pro right tackle Ryan Ramczyk. "Another outstanding, athletic offensive lineman from Oregon State. This is a big-time plus and opportunity to get better because you talk about having a bookend tackle opposite Ryan Ramczyk. ... Not only do you provide more talent to the offensive tackle spot, but you also provide an element of competition."

Rick Spielman -- Looking at Gus Bradley's defense last year, it was obvious to Spielman that it needs help on the backend. "So I got an opportunity to get a guy that's a very good football player that can be physical in run support, that can play nickel, he can play outside, I think he can play safety if he had to. He's just too good of a football player to pass up. ALSO, I think he's going to be a legit punt returner."

Bryant McFadden -- Move over Travis Kelce?? Not so fast, says McFadden. "If Brock is sitting here at 32, that's the easiest pick for me. He's a difference-maker, and he'll get an opportunity to learn from Travis Kelce. Whenever Travis Kelce decides to call it quits and get ready for his invitation to Canton in the Hall of Fame, you have his heir apparent right there WAITING in the wings, right there in the building. So this was super easy for me, and just imagine the offense that has Travis Kelce, Brock Bowers, Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, Isiah Pacheco along with everything they have along the offensive line. Good luck trying to slow them down."
