With just three weeks until the NFL Draft begins, the rosters are starting to settle, and the rumor mill is running wild with speculation on who will get drafted where. The talent is there for the taking, but which NFL teams will get it right early in the draft?
This latest 3-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft delves into how the first 100 picks could look.
2024 NFL Mock Draft | Round 1
Want to see who can create the best mock draft with nine of your friends? Now you can with PFN’s free Mock Draft Simulator!
1) Chicago Bears (From CAR): Caleb Williams, QB, USC
As the days get closer to the draft, this is the no-brainer pick of the NFL’s annual selection event, especially after Justin Fields was shipped to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Caleb Williams has all the tools to be a future NFL star, from his arm strength to his athletic ability to make plays with his legs. Williams appears to be the most NFL-ready quarterback entering the draft.
2) Washington Commanders: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Sam Howell was traded to the Seattle Seahawks after two years of playing for the Washington Commanders. The team could look at another former North Carolina quarterback to take over.
While there are some questions about Drake Maye, his accuracy and pocket presence make him a valuable pick high in the first round.
3) New England Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Things haven’t been the same since Tom Brady left New England, and Mac Jones certainly didn’t help with that transition.
Jayden Daniels could be the next Lamar Jackson with the proper coaching and development. The Arizona State and LSU product is the best athlete among the quarterbacks and could bring much-needed creativity to the Patriots’ offense.
4) Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Kyler Murray has been missing DeAndre Hopkins, struggling without a legitimate X-factor at wide receiver. Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is that guy.
His length, strong hands, and speed make him the best receiver in the draft and possibly the best overall player. Harrison is a massive upgrade to an offense that picked up steam at the end of the year but needs a special skill player.
5) Los Angeles Chargers: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt has the blended combination of being a strong pass blocker and an efficient run blocker.
Alt is the best offensive lineman in the 2024 NFL Draft, and the Los Angeles Chargers need some help protecting their quarterback, Justin Herbert. The Chargers would likely have Alt protecting Herbert’s blind side for a long time.
6) New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Questions surrounding quarterback Daniel Jones could see a quarterback land in this spot, but the New York Giants’ offense needs more pass-catching weapons.
Malik Nabers has great speed that can burn most NFL cornerbacks. The Giants are desperate for weapons with Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia, and Nabers would be a good starting point.
7) Tennessee Titans: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Will Levis is the most important player on the Tennessee Titans, as he appears to be the franchise quarterback for the time being.
With no Derrick Henry, passing the football will become more important for Tennessee, and adding Olumuyiwa Fashanu can help the offensive line. Fashanu bullied defenders at Penn State and will be an excellent fit for the Titans’ offensive style.
8) Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
The Falcons need to get younger and faster in the front seven of their defense. Dallas Turner ran a 4.4 seconds 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Combine and is a hustler when getting to the quarterback.
Atlanta is getting the top pass rusher in the draft, which will help their defense after the offense solidified by Kirk Cousins’ presence.

9) Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Why not hook up rookie quarterback Williams with a new wide receiver to excite Bears fans for the 2024 NFL campaign?
Rome Odunze has quick feet and is an elite route runner. Despite trading for Keenan Allen, Chicago doesn’t have much support for DJ Moore at receiver, and Odunze would make the perfect complement for those two early in his career.
10) New York Jets: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
If Odunze was available for the Jets, that would be the pick in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft. Without him, New York can still get Aaron Rodgers a good weapon on offense and arguably the best tight end to enter the draft in years.
Brock Bowers has strong hands and uses his physicality to pick up the extra yards after the catch. While his injury from last year is a concern, Bowers could be a good complement to Garrett Wilson.
11) Minnesota Vikings: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
Cousins will no longer be throwing the ball for Minnesota. With the team needing a quarterback, J.J. McCarthy is the perfect fit for the Vikings.

McCarthy is a proven winner who has elite accuracy. The offense is going through transition, but Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison could be getting a solid quarterback who, with the right starting pieces, could have a strong NFL career.
12) Denver Broncos: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
This could be seen as a reach, but the Denver Broncos are desperate for a quarterback with a lack of salary cap, thanks to the Russell Wilson contract.
Michael Penix Jr. is a strong quarterback with a rocket arm and good pocket awareness. The experienced Washington passer is more of a late first-round pick, but the Broncos risk missing out on a QB entirely if they wait to strike later due to the number of teams looking to land a new option under center.
13) Las Vegas Raiders: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
This is another example of a reach at No. 13 in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft, but if the run of quarterbacks happens, Bo Nix is the last of the guys close to being pro-ready.
Nix will need development time, so Aidan O’Connell might have to hold down the position for now, but Nix could blossom into a reliable starter with time and patience.
14) New Orleans Saints: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
Derek Carr needs some help up front in the form of stronger protection. Taliese Fuaga will get his hands dirty, creating lanes in the running game and helping with pass protection. The Saints also get some flexibility on the offensive line, as they could move Fuaga to left tackle or right tackle.
15) Indianapolis Colts: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
Michael Pittman Jr. is the number one guy in Indy, but there isn’t much outside of him for Anthony Richardson to go to with the ball. Brian Thomas Jr. was overshadowed at LSU by Nabers, but he can do all the same things his teammate did.
While Thomas isn’t a true WR1 as a rookie, he doesn’t need to be with the Colts, as he would work well with Pittman.
16) Seattle Seahawks: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Seattle’s secondary has been a work in progress as the team looks to get younger and tougher at the position. Terrion Arnold is one of the top corners in the 2024 NFL Draft, with great tackling and ball skills.
17) Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
Jacksonville’s defense had a brutal close to the season, ensuring the team missed out on a trip to the postseason.

With AFC South opponent Houston becoming a dominant offensive force following the Stefon Diggs trade, having a ball hawk like Quinyon Mitchell gives the Jaguars’ secondary a future CB1.
18) Cincinnati Bengals: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois
Cincinnati needs to add size on offense and defense, but with Johnny Newton available at 18, it may be tough for the Bengals to pass on him. Newton is a force in the middle as a great run-stopping defensive tackle.
19) Los Angeles Rams: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
The loss of Aaron Donald has the Los Angeles Rams looking for a future pass rusher on the team. Laiatu Latu can stay local and give the Rams speed on the edge to get to the quarterback.
20) Pittsburgh Steelers: Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington
Pittsburgh needs to get younger on the offensive line, and Troy Fautanu showcased the type of power that would be popular in the Steel City during his Washington Huskies career.

In addition to being a top-tier pass protector, Fatanu brings versatility and can be moved around on the line at guard or tackle.
21) Miami Dolphins: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Amarius Mims moves better than any offensive lineman in the draft. With Miami’s creativity on offense, they need athletic offensive linemen like Mims to help their system run at maximum efficiency. His size and speed make him a perfect fit for the Dolphins’ offense.
22) Philadelphia Eagles: Jared Verse, EDGE Florida State
Typically, in the draft, the Philadelphia Eagles like to start with size on the offensive line or defensive line. Hasson Reddick’s trade and Fletcher Cox’s retirement make Jared Verse‘s pick in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft easy.
Verse has excellent speed and fits well with what the Eagles do with their edge rushers.
23) Minnesota Vikings (From CLE via HOU): Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
Having drafted a quarterback earlier in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft, Minnesota focuses on the defense with its second first-round pick.

Byron Murphy II is a devastating nose tackle who can cause havoc on the line. His pass-rushing abilities also help make him a solid late first-round pick.
24) Dallas Cowboys: JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Dallas needs to continue building the offensive line, and JC Latham is a good start. Latham helped Alabama have one of the best offensive lines in the country over the last few seasons.
The Cowboys should be able to get their next generation of great offensive linemen through the 2024 NFL Draft.
25) Green Bay Packers: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes lead the way in the secondary, but the Green Bay Packers need another cornerback in case either leaves in the future. Nate Wiggins is fast and can track down receivers to shut down the passing game.
26) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Tampa Bay needs explosiveness off the edge on defense. Chop Robinson showed at Penn State that even though he needs time to develop, his athleticism and potential can propel him to the level of Joey Bosa and other top NFL pass rushers.
27) Arizona Cardinals (From HOU): Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Coach Jonathan Gannon got his receiver of the future earlier in this 2024 NFL Mock Draft, and now he can focus on defense by adding size and length to the secondary.
Kool-Aid McKinstry didn’t create a ton of turnovers, but receivers weren’t beating him on the outside very often.
28) Buffalo Bills: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
Stefon Diggs is no longer on the team, and the Bills are scrambling to find Josh Allen receivers for the 2024 season.
MORE: Top WRs in the 2024 NFL Draft
Adonai Mitchell transferred from Georgia last year and became Texas’ most reliable receiver. It may take time, but Mitchell could become Buffalo’s top receiver.
29) Detroit Lions: Darius Robinson, EDGE, Missouri
After the loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, Detroit needs help on defense to try to compete. Edge rusher Darius Robinson teaming with Aidan Hutchinson would make for a dynamic duo off each edge.
30) Baltimore Ravens: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Speed kills, and Baltimore needs to continue to draft receivers like that to work with their 2023 first-round pick, Zay Flowers.
Xavier Worthy recorded the fastest time at the 2024 NFL Combine, giving Lamar Jackson another weapon on offense as the passing game becomes a bigger part of their system. The potential of a Worthy-Flowers tandem makes Baltimore a scary offense on the same scale as Miami.
31) San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Trent Williams is closing in on the end of his NFL career, and the 49ers need to start thinking about a succession plan for him. Oklahoma guard Tyler Guyton moves quickly, and his 6’8” size makes it hard for defenders to get past him.
32) Kansas City Chiefs: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
While the outlook for the receivers in Kansas City late in the season, there were inconsistencies with drops and penalties that hurt the Chiefs. Keon Coleman is reliable, has good speed, and can be a strong target in the red zone.
