1. Chicago (from Carolina) | Caleb Williams / QB / USC | After trading Justin Fields to Pittsburgh, the franchise is being handed over to Williams. |
2. Washington | Jayden Daniels / QB / LSU | The Commanders like Daniels' arm and open field running ability. |
3. New England | Drake Maye / QB / UNC | The Patroits select Maye over McCarthy because of a better track record of production in college. |
4. Arizona | Marvin Harrison / WR / Ohio State | The Cardinals have a lot of draft capital and decide that passing on a generational talent at a position of need is too much of a risk. |
5. NY Giants (PROPOSED TRADE w / LA Chargers) | JJ McCarthy / QB / Michigan | |
6. LA Chargers (PROPOSED TRADE w/ NY Giants) | Taliese Fuaga / OT / Oregon State | The Chargers have the choice of any OT in this draft and choose Fuaga over Joe Alt because they feel that they already have their OLT (Rashawn Slater) and decide to draft the best run blocker in this draft. |
7. Tennessee | Joe Alt / OT / Notre Dame | The Titans breathe a sigh of relief when LA selects Fuaga and leaves Alt to Tennessee. Alt is the best OLT in this draft and fills a huge void on the Titans' line. |
8. Atlanta | Dallas Turner / EDGE / Alabama | The Falcons have needed an Edge Rusher for years and Turner is the most explosive pass rusher in the 2024 NFL Draft. |
9. Chicago | Jared Verse / EDGE / Florida State | The Bears go Edge with pick #9 even though Nabers and Odunze are still on the board. The Bears now line up Montez Sweat and Jared Verse at DE in their four man front. |
10. NY Jets | Olu Fashanu / OT / Penn State | The Jets have a small window to contend for a Super Bowl while Rodgers is playing QB and they realize they need to improve their pass protection. Fashanu is a well-rounded OT who gives the Jets a true blindside protector for Rodgers. |
11. Cincinnati (PROPOSED TRADE w/ Minnesota) | Brock Bowers / TE / Georgia | |
12. Jacksonville (PROPOSED TRADE w/ Denver) | Malik Nabers / WR / LSU | |
13. Buffalo (PROPOSED TRADE w / Las Vegas) | Rome Odunze / WR / Washington | |
14. New Orleans | Nate Wiggins / CB / Clemson | The Saints could go a number of ways here but decide that taking the first CB off the board is the call to make. Wiggins has good length and deep speed and has a great closing burst on the ball in the air. |
15. Indianapolis | Quinyon Mitchell / CB / Toledo | The Colts have few major needs but addressing pass coverage tops the list. Mitchell, SNS' #1 ranked CB prospect, has NFL size and length and is smooth and fluid in coverage. |
16. Seattle | Byron Murphy / IDL / Texas | Seattle has a bigger need for an Edge Rusher but are scared off by Latu's injury history. The Seahawks decide taking the dynamic and explosive interior pass rusher gives them the best value at #17. |
17. Denver (PROPOSED TRADE w / Jacksonville) | Chop Robinson / EDGE / Penn State | Afer trading for Zach wilson, the Broncos decide that there is no QB worth drafting at #17 overall. By selecting Robinson, the Broncos hope they address their anemic pass rush with the quick and explosive Nittany Lions pass rusher. |
18. Minnesota (PROPOSED TRADE w/ Cincinnati) | Michael Penix / QB / Washington | After considering drafting Penix at #11, the Vikings trade down and still get to select the UW signal caller while picking up a 2nd round pick in the process. |
19. LA Rams | Amarius Mims / OT / Georgia | The Rams could go a number of ways here at pick #19 but decide to go with the huge and massively talented Bulldog OT. Mims needs development and has limited starting experience but he is a great athlete with rare size. |
20. Pittsburgh | Brian Thomas / WR / LSU | George Pickens may be on his way out in the Steel City and the team dealt Diontae Johnson to the Panthers so more WRs are needed. Thomas really came on his last season in Baton Rouge and has the size, speed, and hands to become a #1 NFL WR. |
21. Miami | Johnny Newton / IDL / Illinois | The Dolphins have a huge hole to fill on their defensive line after DT Christian Wilkins left in free agency. Newton is not a replacement for Wilkins because he is a player who relies on twitch, quickness, and agility as opposed to power, to wreak havoc on opposing QBs. |
22. Philadelphia | Cooper DeJean / CB / Iowa | The Eagles need to reload in the secondary and DeJean has the versatility to line up in the slot or out wide. If DeJean gets drafted in the first round, he'd be the first white CB selected in the opening round this century. |
23. Minnesota (from Cleveland thru Houston) | Terrion Arnold / CB / Alabama | Despite needing another Edge Rusher, the Vikings decide that issues with the CBs is a higher priority. Arnold is fluid and moves well enough to cover slot receivers in space. |
24. Tampa Bay (PROPOSED TRADE w / Dallas) | Graham Barton / OL / Dallas | The Bucs' run offense has been dismal the last two seasons and decide that trading up and securing the Blue Devil OLT before the Packers select him, is the way to go. Barton is likely to slide inside and could be a Pro Bowl level center. Well worth giving up a fourth round pick for (#125). |
25. Green Bay | Troy Fautanu / OL / Washington | Long-time starting OLT David Bakhtiari was released and the Packers can no longer put off upgrading the position. Fautanu has every physical attribute to be a reliable blindside protector but could be an All Pro guard. Regardless of position, the UW All American is ready to contribute right away as a rookie. |
26. Dallas (PROPOSED TRADE w / Tampa Bay) | JC Latham / OT / Alabama | The Cowboys are in a difficult position with many holes to fill, limited draft picks, and little cap space to spare. Latham would have likely been the choice at #26 and getting a fourth round pick (#125) to move down two slots makes sense. |
27. Arizona (from Houston) | Kool-Aid McKinstry / CB / Alabama | After sticking and picking at #4 and taking Harrison, the Cardinals decide to improve their secondary with the Bama CB. McKinstry has good size and length and more production on the ball would make this an outstanding pick. |
28. Las Vegas (PROPOSED TRADE w/ Buffalo) | Tyler Guyton / OT / Oklahoma | Surprisingly, the Raiders pass on Bo Nix and select the developmental OT with tremendous upside from Oklahoma. Guyton has tremendous length and size and is a fantastic athlete with light feet. |
29. Detroit | Zach Frazier / IOL / West Virginia | The Lions' renaissance has many factors but the key attribute may be the physical nature of the team. The Lions want to dominate the line of scrimmage and Frazier is the most complete center in this loaded class. All Pro center Frank Ragnow has battled injuries the last few years and may be closer to retirement than any Lions fan would like to think. Frazier is tough, strong, and has the size and demeanor to play either guard or center. |
30. Baltimore | Laiatu Latu / EDGE / UCLA | Every year it seems that the Ravens always find gems that other teams overlook. Latu is productive and consistent - he is arguably the best Edge defender in the nation the last two years. But Latu had to medically retire while playing at Washington due to a severe neck injury. This is likely to impact his draft status. But if you only look at his film the last two years, he'd be a Top 10 pick this weekend. |
31. San Francisco | Kris Jenkins / IDL / Michigan | The 49ers have no huge holes to fill but salary cap issues loom and key components of the team are beginning to age out of the NFL. By selecting Jenkins, the Niners get a well-rounded DT with a championship pedigree and an NFL legacy. |
32. Kansas City | Xavier Legette / WR / South Carolina | Legette is being overshadowed in a deep and talented WR class. But Legette is a complete WR with size, reach, speed, explosiveness, body control, and reliable hands. And that last part is the main reason the Chiefs take the Gamecocks WR - his hands. Legette has multiple years of production in the SEC and would normally be a Top 15 selection in any NFL Draft. |
