What kind of draft analyst would I be if I didn't do a full seven-round mock draft, predicting all 257 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft? Lackluster.
Therefore, in an attempt to not be a lackluster draft analyst, I have mocked `the entire 2024 draft. Every single pick. No need to even watch the draft anymore -- I've been handed the script. This is how it will all play out from April 25-27.
For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on "With the First Pick" -- our year-round NFL Draft podcast with NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. You can find "With the First Pick" wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc. Listen below!
From
Carolina Panthers
Round 1 - Pick 1
USC
• 6'1"
/ 215 lbs
This is essentially a no-brainer for Chicago. Caleb Williams has franchise-altering ability.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 2
LSU
• 6'4"
/ 210 lbs
This feels lay-up-ish, doesn't it? Jayden Daniels can be an explosive playmaker orchestrating Kliff Kingsbury's spread offense.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 3
Michigan
• 6'3"
/ 219 lbs
At this point we shouldn't be shocked if J.J. McCarthy goes ahead of Drake Maye. The Michigan quarterback needs time to develop, and so does the Patriots team as a whole.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 4
Ohio State
• 6'4"
/ 205 lbs
The Cardinals don't mess around with any trades, instead picking Marvin Harrison Jr. to be their WR1 instantly.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Los Angeles Chargers
Round 1 - Pick 5
Drake Maye
QB
North Carolina
• 6'4"
/ 225 lbs
Rejoice in Viking land, as Minnesota lands an athletic, big-arm passer who exudes aggressiveness.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 6
Malik Nabers
WR
LSU
• 6'0"
/ 200 lbs
The Giants don't get a quarterback, but instead land an electric WR to aid their in-house quarterback, Daniel Jones. Malik Nabers is a special talent.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 8
Dallas Turner
EDGE
Alabama
• 6'3"
/ 247 lbs
Dallas Turner may not be a double-digit sack rusher in Year 1, but with his length and insane explosiveness, he could be that type for a long time in the NFL after he gets a bit stronger.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Rome Odunze
WR
Washington
• 6'3"
/ 215 lbs
The Bears are doing everything possible to make the landing spot cushy for Caleb Williams. Rome Odunze at No. 9 will signal that even more than the Keenan Allen trade a few weeks ago.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 10
LSU
• 6'2"
/ 209 lbs
This is an Aaron Rodgers pick, as he finally gets his first-round receiver. With this selection, his wideout trio is Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams and Thomas. Damn good.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 11
Oregon State
• 6'6"
/ 324 lbs
This is my favorite trade pairing in Round 1 because it works wonderfully for both teams. Taliese Fuaga has a high floor because of his size and strength but also possesses serious potential because of how impeccable of a mover he is.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Troy Fautanu
IOL
Washington
• 6'4"
/ 317 lbs
Sean Payton has his eyes on another quarterback later in the draft and instead looks to tighten up the blocking unit with the selection of Troy Fautanu.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 13
Washington
• 6'3"
/ 215 lbs
The Raiders are closer to being in win-now mode than we probably expect, and Michael Penix Jr. can help elevate their offense to new heights.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Amarius Mims
OT
Georgia
• 6'8"
/ 350 lbs
The Saints have a desperate need at offensive tackle. Amarius Mims is a plug-and-play starter with freaky size, power and balance.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 - Pick 15
Penn State
• 6'6"
/ 312 lbs
The Dolphins see Olu Fashanu falling and make an aggressive ascension to land a young offensive tackle with All-Pro upside. In this deal, they send No. 22 and No. 55 to the Colts for this selection and a fourth-round pick in return (No. 117).
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Brock Bowers
TE
Georgia
• 6'4"
/ 230 lbs
Brock Bowers to the Seahawks would be a lot of fun, giving Geno Smith more early-round weapons.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Toledo
• 6'0"
/ 193 lbs
Quinyon Mitchell has 4.33 speed, legitimate NFL boundary cornerback size, and defended 45 passes the past three seasons. What's not to like?
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 18
Illinois
• 6'2"
/ 295 lbs
The Bengals have to get reinforcements at defensive tackle, and Johnny Newton is strong, polished, and explosive.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Jared Verse
EDGE
Florida State
• 6'4"
/ 260 lbs
Jared Verse is a high-floor, ready-to-go rusher who'll formulate a fun outside pass-rushing duo with Byron Young in Los Angeles.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 20
Alabama
• 6'0"
/ 199 lbs
Terrion Arnold to the Steelers would be tremendous. He feels like a Steelers defender: he does everything well and plays with authority as a tackler.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Miami Dolphins
Round 1 - Pick 21
Iowa
• 6'0"
/ 198 lbs
The Colts are enamored with plus athletes, and DeJean is one of the most sudden athletes at the position in this class.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 22
Chop Robinson
EDGE
Penn State
• 6'3"
/ 254 lbs
Howie Roseman can't resist picking defensive linemen early in the draft, and Chop Robinson could very well give him some serious Haason Reddick vibes.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 23
Texas
• 6'2"
/ 205 lbs
So it's offensive tackle and receiver for the Chargers after their trade-back. Perfection. Adonai Mitchell has sky-high upside given his frame and fluidity on the field.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 24
Oregon
• 6'3"
/ 328 lbs
The Cowboys go best player available, and JPJ will move people in the run game and anchor in pass pro with the best of them.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 25
JC Latham
OT
Alabama
• 6'6"
/ 342 lbs
The Packers have done a great job sustaining the offensive line over the years with mid-to-late round picks who have developed. This selection would be more of a statement after moving on from David Bakhtiari.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 26
Laiatu Latu
EDGE
UCLA
• 6'5"
/ 265 lbs
Laiatu Latu is older and has some injury history, but on the field he's a nasty pass-rush move specialist who'd instantly boost Tampa Bay's pass rush.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 27
Texas
• 6'0"
/ 306 lbs
This is a steal for the Cardinals, landing Byron Murphy II this late. He's a super-disruptive interior pass rusher who holds up well against the run, too.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 28
Texas
• 5'11"
/ 165 lbs
The Panthers can't resist adding someone with Xavier Worthy's speed to the offense. They send No. 33 overall and No. 101 to Buffalo for this selection and a seventh-round pick (No. 248).
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Alabama
• 5'11"
/ 199 lbs
Kool-Aid McKinstry is one of the cleanest prospects in the class, and this fills an immediate need for the Lions.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 30
Braden Fiske
DL
Florida State
• 6'5"
/ 291 lbs
Braden Fiske is simply too athletic and was too productive in the ACC for the Ravens to pass on him here.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 31
Tyler Guyton
OT
Oklahoma
• 6'7"
/ 322 lbs
Tyler Guyton looks like an oversized tight end, and with quality coaching, can be one of the better blockers from this class.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Arizona
• 6'5"
/ 311 lbs
The Chiefs solidify the left side of their offensive line with the talented and versatile Jordan Morgan.
|
