Revised Prediction of First-Round Picks and Potential Quarterback Teams for the 2024 NFL Draft (Version 3.0)
The Bears begin anew with the recipient of the 2022 Heisman Trophy, who possesses innate talent for making plays that other quarterbacks can only imagine — although it can occasionally result in errors.
Some scouts may rate other potential receivers higher than 6-3, 209-pound Harrison, but there is no doubt that he has the talent to be a top target as soon as he takes the field.The Gaithersburg native and Maryland transfer was one of the biggest winners at the combine. The Rams could form a scary defensive line with the twitchy, explosive Robinson.
The Cowboys’ offense could reach new heights with a more capable partner for CeeDee Lamb. Texas native Mitchell possesses the physical attributes, quickness, and reliable catching abilities that could make him a formidable receiver.
Many people are suggesting that the Chiefs should choose a wide receiver, but their previous smart draft picks have contributed greatly to their success. At 6-5 and weighing 311 pounds, Morgan can take over for Donovan Smith as the left tackle and strengthen the offensive line.
The largest player in terms of contract value on the Minnesota Vikings roster is Kirk Cousins. After six years with the team, he is now eligible to enter the open market. However, his high salary demands, advanced age (35), recent injury (torn Achilles tendon), and modest performance (1-2 record in the postseason) may lead to the end of his time with the Vikings.
It is possible that the new coach, Jim Harbaugh, may advocate for a different role. However, with the abundance of highly skilled receivers in this draft, it is difficult to imagine the Chargers not selecting a player as physically imposing, speedy, and accomplished as the 6-3, 212-pound Odunze.
The Chicago Bears, through a trade with the Carolina Panthers, select Caleb Williams from Southern California as their quarterback.
The Packers must revamp their subpar secondary. DeJean is experienced in both safety and cornerback positions and has the ability and return capabilities to turn interceptions into scoring opportunities.
Two players drafted to the Washington Commanders are Drake Maye, a quarterback from North Carolina.
The Jaguars’ secondary does not have many long-term players. Wiggins, though weighing just 173 pounds, impressed at the combine with a speedy 4.28-second 40-yard dash.
3. New England Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Let’s start off with a game of musical chairs before we predict the 2024 NFL draft.

6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
For this activity, we predict that Cousins will end up in Atlanta, Fields will be sent to Denver, Mayfield will renew his contract with Tampa Bay, and Wilson will join Las Vegas. This still creates several vacancies, but it provides an explanation for our mock draft selections.
The Tennessee Titans have selected Brock Bowers from Georgia as their pick for tight end.
The Indianapolis Colts are in need of a cornerback following the departure of Kenny Moore II as a free agent. Arnold, who had five interceptions in a standout 2023 season, would be a valuable addition to the team.
The Atlanta Falcons selected Alabama’s Dallas Turner as their pick for an EDGE player.
Without Cousins in this situation, the Vikings must quickly rebuild. McCarthy has rapidly ascended since winning the national championship, showcasing impressive agility and throwing power.
The Chicago Bears selected LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. with the ninth overall pick.
The 6-5, 285-pound Robinson’s size and versatility should win the affection of Bucs coach Todd Bowles. He can rush from the edge or the interior, though he still needs to refine his game.
The New York Jets selected Joe Alt, a tackle from Notre Dame.
After a extensive hunt, the Falcons have found their desired pass rusher in Turner, who stands at 6-3 and weighs 247 pounds. Known for his incredible athleticism, Turner possesses the necessary qualities to challenge tackles and effectively rush towards quarterbacks.
Now that receiver Tee Higgins has returned on the franchise tag, the Bengals can prioritize enhancing their offensive line. Fuaga, who stands at 6-6 and weighs 324 pounds, is an ideal candidate to immediately step in as the starting right tackle.
On November 18, 2023, J.J. McCarthy, quarterback for Michigan, completed passing plays during a game against Maryland. The action was captured in a photo taken by Nick Wass for AP.
The Vikings from Minnesota draft J.J. McCarthy from Michigan as their quarterback.
The Saints are currently lacking a permanent solution for either of their tackle positions. Fashanu still has the potential to develop, by both building upon his 6-6, 312-pound physique and refining his technique.
The Denver Broncos selected Quinyon Mitchell from Toledo to join their team as a cornerback.
There are numerous inquiries surrounding the offensive line. Standing at 6’5″ and weighing 313 pounds, Barton is known for his reliability, tenacity, and physical abilities. He is expected to transition to an interior role after beginning as a left tackle in college.
The 13th pick in the NFL draft goes to the Las Vegas Raiders, who select JC Latham from the University of Alabama.
The Denver Broncos recently released Russell Wilson while Baker Mayfield has not yet resigned with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dak Prescott is currently seeking another contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys. The quarterback position for the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons, and Las Vegas Raiders also remains uncertain.
The fourteenth pick belongs to the New Orleans Saints, who have selected Olumuyiwa Fashanu from Penn State as their offensive tackle.
Combining the athleticism of Mitchell with the talents of All-Pro Pat Surtain II is a strategic move to hinder the performance of division foe Patrick Mahomes and other top quarterbacks in the AFC.
The Alabama Crimson Tide’s Terrion Arnold has been drafted by the Indianapolis Colts to play at the cornerback position.
Describing the precise quarterback qualities desired by a new regime is difficult, but with his 6-foot-3, 223-pound frame, Maye possesses the necessary traits to excel in any offensive system and potentially become a top player.
On October 14, 2023, Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader was pressured by Florida State defensive end Jared Verse, as seen in this photo by Phelan M. Ebenhack for the Associated Press.
The NFL team from Seattle, the Seahawks, have chosen Jared Verse, a player in the position of EDGE from the university of Florida State.
Verse, standing at 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 254 pounds, possesses impressive strength, instincts, and a surplus of energy that make him an ideal addition to new coach Mike Macdonald’s defensive strategy.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
With no more delay, here are The Baltimore Sun’s predictions for the opening round, set to start on April 25th in Detroit.
The Cincinnati Bengals have selected Taliese Fuaga from Oregon State as their offensive tackle of choice for the draft.
While he may not be fully refined, there are only a few players who are 6-8 and 340 pounds that possess the agility of Mims. The Steelers swiftly take advantage of this opportunity to further enhance their already dominant running lineup.
At the 19th spot, the Los Angeles Rams selected Chop Robinson from Penn State, who plays as an edge defender.
While Latu’s talent merits a higher draft pick, the injury to his neck during his college career may impact his placement. He excels at rushing the passer and maximizes his large stature of 6-5 and 259 pounds.
Pittsburgh Steelers select Amarius Mims from Georgia as their offensive tackle.
The Dolphins allowed Christian Wilkins to become a free agent, but have now found his replacement in Murphy. Murphy is a powerful and disruptive player who makes a strong impact in the interior of the team.

A&M
At number 21, the Miami Dolphins have selected Byron Murphy II, a defensive tackle from Texas A&M.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a tendency to select offensive linemen during the draft, and considering Lane Johnson’s age, it may be time to consider grooming another promising player from Oklahoma to potentially succeed him as the starting right tackle. One possibility is the 6-foot-8, 322-pound Guyton.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Tyler Guyton from the University of Oklahoma as their choice for the offensive tackle position.
The Patriots will not overlook a quarterback in this selection. Although there are some worries about the durability of Daniels, who stands at 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 210 pounds, his skillset has the potential to rival that of Lamar Jackson as a versatile threat.
The Houston Texans acquired Laiatu Latu, an EDGE player from UCLA, through a trade with the Cleveland Browns.
The core role has consistently been of utmost importance in a Kyle Shanahan playing strategy. The 6-3, 328-pound Powers-Johnson is highly regarded as a top-20 prospect due to his robustness and mindset.
With the 24th pick in the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Adonai Mitchell, a wide receiver from Texas.
Then there’s Justin Fields, who waits in limbo as the Chicago Bears decide what to do with the No. 1 overall draft pick they received from last year’s trade with the Carolina Panthers. All signs point to Fields being traded and Chicago using the pick on a quarterback, but general manager Ryan Poles has yet to make a move.
The 25th pick in the draft belongs to the Green Bay Packers, who selected Cooper DeJean, a versatile cornerback/safety from Iowa.
The Titans enlisted Bill Callahan to train their offensive line, but what they truly require is another dynamic player to support quarterback Will Levis. At 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds, Bowers has the full skill set of a tight end.

The 26th pick in the draft will go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they will select Darius Robinson, a player who can play both edge and defensive tackle from Missouri.
The Jets are seeking the “top available option” to safeguard veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is 40 years old. 6-9, 322-pound Alt may be the most skilled rookie lineman.
Many have labeled this year’s group of receivers as the “Big Three”, but Thomas belongs in the upper echelon. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 209 pounds, he also impressed with a 4.33 second 40-yard dash.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted Jackson Powers-Johnson from the University of Oregon as a center and guard.
The offensive line of the Raiders is surrounded by many uncertainties. Latham, who stands at 6-6 and weighs 342 pounds, has the potential to excel as a guard if he is not able to secure his place at right tackle.
The 32nd pick in the draft was used by the Kansas City Chiefs to select Jordan Morgan from the University of Arizona as an offensive tackle or guard.
Given the vacancies in the team’s lineup and the unpredictable situation surrounding quarterback Daniel Jones, any decision here would be appropriate. Bringing on a versatile player such as Nabers, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds, would be a positive move.
