    Best-Case Scenarios for Every Team in the 2024 NFL Draft Include Marvin Harrison Jr. Falling to Arizona Cardinals

    Published on

    From players falling down the order to obvious can't-miss selections, what are the best-case scenarios for all 32 teams in the 2024 NFL Draft?

    Similar to every child constructing their Christmas present wish list, all 32 NFL teams have an ideal situation they hope plays out for an upcoming NFL Draft to help them land the perfect prospect who can come in and contribute immediately next season.

    Below, we’ll detail the best-case scenario for all 32 teams in the 2024 NFL Draft.

    Best-Case Scenarios in the 2024 NFL Draft

    Arizona Cardinals

    Best-case scenario for the Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. falls in their lap at No. 4 overall.

    The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in an ideal position if all three teams ahead of them address the quarterback position.

    There is certainly a case to be made that Marvin Harrison Jr. is the top overall player available entering the 2024 NFL Draft. He just happens to play at one of the biggest positional needs this franchise has heading into the offseason, with Marquise Brown set to become an unrestricted free agent.

    Since Kyler Murray has been confirmed as the team’s franchise signal-caller moving into the future, adding a dynamic talent like Harrison to work alongside Trey McBride and Michael Wilson could instantly give this offense the type of explosiveness we’ve previously seen during Murray’s time under center in Arizona.

    Atlanta Falcons

    Best-case scenario for the Falcons: One of the top three QB prospects falls to No. 8.

    As currently constructed, the Atlanta Falcons have one glaring need entering the 2024 NFL Draft — quarterback. The situation that must play out for this scenario to become a reality lies with the first three teams at the top of the draft.

    If the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders, or New England Patriots elect to go in any direction other than quarterback, then the next four teams — Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans — are unlikely to go quarterback.

    Ideally, LSU’s Jayden Daniels would present the best value to potentially give this offense a vertical element and exceptional dual-threat playmaking ability, giving this offense four dynamic skill position players to build the core of their offense for the foreseeable future.

    The possibility remains that the Falcons address the quarterback position via trade or free agency, but snagging a top signal-caller on a rookie deal would be ideal.

    Baltimore Ravens

    Best-case scenario for the Ravens: Continue to add more dynamic playmakers around Lamar Jackson with Adonai Mitchell.

    The Baltimore Ravens’ loaded roster on the defensive side of the football presents the organization with an opportunity to draft another top-tier talent at the wide receiver position to help take this offense to another level.

    Lamar Jackson won his second league MVP with an outstanding 2023 campaign. Still, his continued development as a passer is what could make this offense even more terrifying in the coming years.

    Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews will certainly be the focal point of the aerial attack next season.

    However, adding another dynamic vertical threat to work alongside these could give the Ravens one of the best pass-catching trios in the NFL. Adonai Mitchell‘s vertical speed — 4.34 40-yard dash on a lengthy 6’2” 205-pound frame — and route-running savvy make him a must-have weapon in the NFL.

    Buffalo Bills

    Best-case scenario for the Bills: Find a reliable second option to work alongside Stefon Diggs with Brian Thomas Jr.

    An argument can certainly be made for the Buffalo Bills to address the defensive side of the football with a versatile edge rusher — Laiatu Latu and Chop Robinson come to mind — after failing to generate a single sack in the 27-24 AFC Divisional Round loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.

    However,  the loss of Gabe Davis and an aging Stefon Diggs certainly makes wide receiver a plausible need for the team.

    Josh Allen’s passing numbers slightly regressed in 2023, but he is still a quarterback with a sky-high ceiling whom the Bills should continue to surround with top-tier talent.

    One such talent in this year’s draft is Brian Thomas Jr., who can blow the top off any defense and possesses the type of vertical playmaking ability that could best be put to use with a big arm talent like Allen under center.

    Carolina Panthers

    Best-case scenario for the Panthers: Team provides Bryce Young with a WR who creates consistent separation in Ladd McConkey.

    The Panthers are without a first-round pick in 2024, courtesy of selecting Bryce Young as the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, but they still hold the valuable first pick of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft.

    This roster has a plethora of needs, but none is more glaring than the wide receiver position. This wide receiver group — led by the 33-year-old Adam Thielen — was among the worst units in the league at creating separation in 2023, which only made matters worse for a rookie quarterback.

    Ladd McConkey is one of the best separators at the line of scrimmage and the breakpoint in this class and possesses the formation versatility and playmaking ability after the catch to give Young a reliable pass-catching option who can win in multiple ways.

    Chicago Bears

    Best-case scenario for the Bears: Chicago acquires more future first-round draft capital by selling the first overall pick.

    I’m fully aware all of the signs point towards the Bears trading away Justin Fields and selecting Caleb Williams with first overall pick. However, that doesn’t mean I believe it is their ideal scenario.

    Chicago currently holds the first and ninth picks in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year, the organization added a true WR1 with DJ Moore and a future first — which turned into the No. 1 overall pick — by trading back to the 10-spot with Carolina.

    A similar haul could potentially be achieved again with a team like the Falcons — who currently have the eighth pick — which would still allow the Bears to snag another top-10 talent, a future first, and another player/pick.

    Ideally, the Bears could move back two spots with the Patriots — which we saw exactly how perfectly the scenario played out last year by getting future draft capital from a bad football team in desperate need of a franchise quarterback — then select WR Harrison to pair with Moore and select either Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt or Penn State’s Olumuyiwa Fashanu with the ninth pick to help fortify the unit up front.

    This would surround Fields with two elite playmakers on the outside and vastly improve an offensive line — who had plenty of protection issues last year — while adding more future draft capital from a bad football team.

    Cincinnati Bengals

    Best-case scenario for the Bengals: Brock Bowers experiences a Dalton Kincaid-type fall down the board.

    Since 2000, just five tight ends have been selected within the top 10 picks of the NFL Draft. I know this is an unlikely scenario, given how exceptional Brock Bowers performed during his days at Georgia. Still, the tight end position does have a lengthy track record of not demanding high draft capital.

    The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the few teams who have seen any amount of success against the Chiefs during the Patrick Mahomes era and could be on borrowed time with Tee Higgins as a major contributor to this passing attack.

    Bowers would immediately give Joe Burrow a dynamic playmaker at the TE position — which they’ve arguably never had in franchise history — and would help maximize the team’s current Super Bowl window and give them a definitive No. 2 option if Higgins leaves town.

    Cleveland Browns

    Best-case scenario for the Browns: Cleveland fortifies the interior of the defensive front with Ruke Orhorhoro.

    The Cleveland Browns had one of the most formidable defensive units in the NFL last season, but it didn’t exactly stem from exceptional play from the interior of their defensive line.

    Unfortunately, they won’t be able to address this need in the first round, so they’ll have to find an impact player outside of the top 50.

    Well, their need to add athleticism and alignment versatility could be solved by adding Clemson’s Ruke Orhorhoro, whose explosive traits and ability to flex from a 0-technique to a 5-technique could instantly address one of the few shortcomings of an otherwise loaded defensive roster.

    Dallas Cowboys

    Best-case scenario for the Cowboys: Dallas seamlessly finds Tyron Smith’s successor in Olumuyiwa Fashanu.

    The temptation for the Dallas Cowboys to make a flashy addition to the wide receiver group to work alongside CeeDee Lamb will likely present itself, but the correct move is to immediately address the left tackle position with veteran Tyron Smith unlikely to return to Dallas for a 14th season.

    An ideal scenario would see Olu Fashanu fall all the way to pick 24.

    Fashanu boasts plus-level athleticism, quick feet, and flashes the ability to anchor down when he lands his punch inside, which projects favorably as a pass protector in the NFL.

    Denver Broncos

    Best-case scenario for the Broncos: Denver finds a trade partner to move down and still get their franchise signal-caller with Michael Penix Jr.

    There may have been an unlikely but remotely plausible ideal scenario where one of the top three signal callers could fall to Atlanta with the eighth overall pick. However, I am having a much harder time convincing myself even in the most picture-perfect situations, one of the top three quarterbacks falls completely out of the top 10 picks.

    The release of Russell Wilson certainly makes the quarterback position the most glaring need the Broncos have entering the 2024 NFL Draft, but 12th overall feels a bit early for J.J. McCarthy, Bo Nix, or Michael Penix Jr.

    Ideally, the Broncos could trade down into the back half of the first round, pick up some additional draft capital — they are without a second-round pick this year — and select Penix at a more reasonable spot than 12th overall.

    The Washington product showcased plenty of reps over his final two seasons of being able to gather and process information with pre- and post-snap reads while flashing some ability to play on time and deliver throws with anticipation into tight windows — a requirement to excel in Sean Payton’s offense.

    Detroit Lions

    Best-case scenario for the Lions: Detroit bolsters their secondary with the dynamic Nate Wiggins.

    Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell loves players who fit his gritty, tough, and competitive culture. Well, Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins fits that exact mold.

    He has high football integrity but just so happens to be fused with hyper athleticism — 4.28 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine — on a lengthy 6’2” frame. The Lions need help at the cornerback position and could add another young secondary piece alongside Brian Branch if Wiggins manages to fall to the end of the first round.

    Green Bay Packers

    Best-case scenario for the Packers: Green Bay lands a versatile offensive lineman, Graham Barton.

    The future is uncertain for left tackle David Bahktiari — who has been limited to just 13 games through the last three years due to injury and is currently set to have a $40 million hit against the salary cap in 2024 — which makes the offensive line a strong focus for the Green Bay Packers entering the offseason.

    One prospect who could flex out to tackle or move inside is Duke’s Graham Barton, who just happens to have a similar prospect profile to that of Bahktiari but projects more as an interior lineman. Barton’s athleticism, body control, fast & accurate hands, and effectiveness in zone schemes should mesh perfectly with Matt LaFluer’s zone-based system.

    Houston Texans

    Best-case scenario for the Texans: Houston aims to protect their franchise QB by investing in Amarius Mims.

    Few offensive linemen have flashed some of the elite physical traits that Georgia’s Amarius Mims did during his limited time on the field with the Bulldogs. He possesses unicorn-type athleticism for a 6’7”, 340-pound tackle prospect and would solve an immediate need at the right tackle spot for the Houston Texans.

    Some may want to make the argument to snag a top-tier pass catcher to add to the arsenal of weapons for C.J. Stroud or solidify the starting cornerback spot opposite Derek Stingley Jr.

    Still, a team that averaged just 92 rushing yards per game badly needs a difference-maker up front who can move large human beings against their will. Mims provides a potential solution to that problem if he falls in the Texans’ lap at No. 23.

    Indianapolis Colts

    Best-case scenario for the Colts: Indy makes Brock Bowers the go-to guy for Anthony Richardson for years to come.

    The Colts’ decision to hit Michael Pittman Jr. with the non-exclusive franchise tag earlier this week — which in all likelihood means he’ll be playing football for the Indianapolis Colts in 2024 — means if Bowers falls to the 15th overall pick, then they have very few reasons not to take one of the best tight end prospects to enter the league since the turn of the century.

    I mean absolutely no disrespect to Will Mallory, Kylen Granson, or Jelani Woods, but Bowers would instantly be an enormous upgrade at the position. Not to mention the multitude of creative ways Shane Steichen could simply get the football into his hands, which could instantly give this offense a completely different dynamic through the air.

    Jacksonville Jaguars

    Best-case scenario for the Jaguars: Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell instantly provides another playmaking presence to improve the secondary.

    Most Jacksonville Jaguars would argue that the franchise should prioritize finding a potential replacement for Calvin Ridley in the 2024 NFL Draft, but the bigger need to address this April is in the secondary.

    The Jags allowed 239 passing yards per game last season, ranked 26th in the league, and desperately need some help at the cornerback position. Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell athleticism, ball skills, and instant recovery ability provide the versatility and elite upside that could thrive in new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen’s scheme.

    Kansas City Chiefs

    Best-case scenario for the Chiefs: Xavier Worthy’s explosiveness gets the Kansas City offense back on track.

    The Kansas City Chiefs led the league with 44 dropped passes last season, which certainly had a hand in one of the weakest statistical years of the Mahomes era.

    The Chiefs’ QB averaged just 3.5 air yards per attempt, the lowest mark of any quarterback who started more than 10 games last year not named Bryce Young or Mac Jones.

    Adding Xavier Worthy — who still has smoke coming off of his cleats after running the 40-yard dash in 4.21 seconds at the NFL Combine — would instantly give this offense the type of vertical element that made them so dangerous when Tyreek Hill was on the roster.

    In addition, Worthy is far from a one-trick speedster; he is a very capable route runner and plus-level producer as a run-after-the-catch threat who could be utilized in the screen and underneath game in this West Coast scheme under Andy Reid.

    Las Vegas Raiders

    Best-case scenario for the Raiders: J.J. McCarthy breathes new life into the Las Vegas offense.

    Antonio Pierce may have seen some signs from Aidan O’Connell during his rookie season that suggest he can be a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL, but does he really want to bank his first head coaching gig on him?

    I remain skeptical about that potential decision to roll with O’Connell as his starting signal-caller in his first full year as the leading man of the Las Vegas Raiders, especially after Pierce’s comments this offseason.

    J.J. McCarthy flashed the ability to operate within the confines of an NFL system while compiling an impressive winning resume during his days at Michigan.

    Sure, Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy didn’t manage to get the sky-high ceiling out of Fields in Chicago last season, but investing in a quarterback like McCarthy — who provides significantly more upside than O’Connell — makes a ton of sense when trying to change the culture in Las Vegas.

    Los Angeles Chargers

    Best-case scenario for the Chargers: Jim Harbaugh gives Justin Herbert the best deep weapon he’s ever had by drafting Malik Nabers.

    Some may argue that some of the personnel decisions made by the Los Angeles Chargers over the last few seasons have potentially failed to unlock Justin Herbert’s true potential as a superstar quarterback in the NFL.

    No disrespect to Keenan Allen, but the team hasn’t provided Herbert with a dynamic three-level weapon at receiver who can best utilize his elite arm talent to push the ball down the field.

    Well, the odds of the Chargers having Malik Nabers on the board when they are on the clock is highly likely, considering the first four picks could very well be three quarterbacks and Harrison. Nabers boasts elite separation ability and vertical speed and is electric as a ball carrier.

    The Chargers still have to make final roster decisions on Allen and Mike Williams — who are both set to have hefty cap hits in 2024 — but if the franchise ever had the opportunity to provide Herbert with a multi-faceted deep threat at wide receiver, this is could be their best chance.

    Los Angeles Rams

    Best-case scenario for the Rams: Terrion Arnold slides down the board and into Los Angeles’ starting lineup.

    The Los Angeles Rams exceeded the expectations of many NFL fans last season with one of the better draft classes without a first-round selection in recent years.

    They hit on players like Byron Young, Kobie Turner, and Puka Nacua. While their young collection of cornerbacks did a serviceable job, it is still in a position of need heading into the 2024 season.

    Alabama’s Terrion Arnold is definitely in the discussion for the best corner in this class. He would instantly provide this secondary with physicality, ball skills, and sticky man coverage capabilities, which could help this unit immediately take a big step in the right direction this year.

    Miami Dolphins

    Best-case scenario for the Dolphins: Jackson Powers-Johnson helps change the identity of the OL unit up front for Miami’s explosive offense.

    The Miami Dolphins’ fast start to the 2023 season came to a cold and brutal end at the hands of the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. When the Dolphins struggled last year, it tended to come against physical opponents, which suggests the team could use an injection of physicality and toughness along its offensive line unit.

    Well, Jackson Powers-Johnson played with the type of nasty edge that can set the tone across the board. He is massive for a center but comes with the type of power and athleticism that would allow him to thrive in both gap and zone-based schemes.

    The Dolphins need help within the interior of their offensive line and Powers-Johnson could immediately make a big impact for one of the most explosive teams in the NFL.

    Minnesota Vikings

    Best-case scenario for the Vikings: Dallas Turner slides out of the top 10 and becomes an instant force in Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy scheme.

    The 2023 Minnesota Vikings defense could be aptly described in one word… aggressive. They blitzed a league-high 51.5% of the time, which was twice as much as half the teams in the NFL.

    Yet, the Vikings have one potential big change looming to the defensive side of the football next year: the potential loss of Danielle Hunter.

    Reports suggest that Minnesota wants to bring him back — which makes sense considering he was one of five players to record 16+ sacks last year — but they also have potential big deals looming with Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson.

    If Hunter doesn’t return, the Vikings would love for Alabama edge defender Dallas Turner, who has exceptional twitch, burst, and bend, to contribute immediately to a depleted unit up front.

    New England Patriots

    Best-case scenario for the Patriots: Commanders pass on drafting Jayden Daniels.

    The task is pretty simple for the Patriots: either trade up with Chicago to get the quarterback they have at the top of the board, or simply take the best remaining signal-caller available with the third pick.

    The latter scenario is far more likely to play out, which means the team will simply have to hope the Bears and Commanders pass on one of the prospects they want at third overall. Most draft pundits believe Williams will be the top overall pick, which leaves Daniels and Maye in play for New England.

    Maye has the prototypical physical tools and flashes of excellence on tape but isn’t the pure creator and lacks the reps that Daniels has seen during his collegiate career.

    In a situation where the receiving core is considerably lacking top-tier playmakers on the outside, I see Daniels having far more success early in his career — despite the bad circumstances — due to his dual-threat capabilities. I fear if Maye winds up in New England, his development could fail to get off the ground in a very tough situation during the early years of his career.

    New Orleans Saints

    Best-case scenario for the Saints: Byron Murphy II falls to help fortify the interior defensive line.

    The New Orleans Saints are a team that has been competitive but unable to get over the hump for a while now, and investing more resources in the offense around Derek Carr is certainly an approach worth considering when they are on the clock with the 14th overall pick.

    On the flip side, the Saints’ rushing defense ranked 22nd in the league by giving up an average of 119 yards per game on the ground. Texas’ Byron Murphy II has uncommon twitch, lower body strength, an impressive arsenal of pass-rushing techniques, and a high motor to give New Orleans an impactful presence on the interior of the defensive line.

    New York Giants

    Best-case scenario for the Giants: One of the top three receiver prospects makes it to them at No. 6 overall.

    It is not out of the realm of possibility that we see three quarterbacks and two receivers taken through the first five picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.

    The Giants have a handful of positions they could choose to address with the 6th overall pick, but if Rome Odunze manages to become available at that pick, I would seriously consider taking him.

    By most accounts, the team isn’t expected to move off of Daniel Jones at quarterback. The multitude of receivers the team has sank draft capital into over the last three seasons — Kadarius Toney, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Jalin Hyatt — all have failed to live up to expectations to this point.

    The Giants don’t possess the type of alpha receiver that we saw from Odunze throughout his collegiate career at Washington.

    New York Jets

    Best-case scenario for the Jets: R-E-L-A-X and get Aaron Rodgers some immediate help up front.

    The potential temptation to select Odunze or Bowers may present itself when the Jets are on the clock.

    However, the team desperately needs to address the woeful offensive line unit to keep quarterback Aaron Rodgers upright longer than four offensive snaps and help Breece Hall improve upon a yards-per-carry average that dropped by over a whole yard from his rookie to second year in the league.

    MORE: Top OTs in the 2024 NFL Draft

    The wish list certainly starts with Joe Alt, but the Jets could easily live with Fashanu becoming the team’s starting left tackle to protect Rodgers’ blindside.

    Both possess the type of prospect profile that projects as an immediate starting talent at the left tackle position, which should be a huge point of emphasis for maximizing the Jets’ chances of making a playoff push with Rodgers under center.

    Philadelphia Eagles

    Best-case scenario for the Eagles: Cooper DeJean slides and gift wraps Vic Fangio an instant impact player in his defensive scheme.

    The Philadelphia Eagles’ 10-2 start to the 2023 season came to a whimpering finish with a one-and-done showing in the NFL playoffs. A case could potentially be made for replacing the recently retired Jason Kelce with Powers-Johnson to keep the formidable Philly offensive line intact, but addressing the woeful secondary from last year must take priority.

    Iowa’s Cooper DeJean possesses the type of secondary versatility that made Branch such an impactful player with the Lions during his rookie campaign.

    DeJean has an exceptionally compact build for a defensive back with the type of quick-twitch and top-speed athleticism that could thrive in multiple assignments in the secondary. He is an ideal fit in Fangio’s scheme and could be utilized in a multitude of creative ways to maximize his effectiveness early in his career.

    Pittsburgh Steelers

    Best-case scenario for the Steelers: Pittsburgh adds Taliese Fuaga to an offensive line in desperate need of talent.

    The Kenny Pickett experiment hasn’t gone well over his first two years in the league, but perhaps some context is required. The offensive line has mostly been a mess during his time in the league, and operating within the confines of Matt Canada’s offensive system throughout his career hasn’t done him any favors.

    If the team decides not to bring in another veteran signal-caller this offseason, the reasoning behind selecting Penix, McCarthy, or Nix certainly makes logical sense. Yet, none of the quarterbacks mentioned in this best-case scenario have a great chance to succeed if the offensive line is properly addressed.

    Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga would give the Steelers an instant starter at right tackle and possesses the type of physicality, attitude, and discipline that exemplifies the brand of football Pittsburgh wants to play. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s one of the best pure pass protectors in this class, with controlled lateral agility, meticulous hand placement, and exceptional technique.

    San Francisco 49ers

    Best-case scenario for the 49ers: Graham Barton slides to the end of the first round and instantly becomes a plug-and-play starter in San Francisco.

    There are plenty of scheme similarities to note between the Packers and San Francisco 49ers offensive units, which is why Barton is appearing for a second time in this article.

    Both Trent Williams and Jake Brendal are under contract through the next three seasons, but Barton’s position versatility makes him an ideal fit for a zone-based scheme.

    To provide more context regarding Barton’s ability to play multiple positions along the offensive line, it’s worth noting he made 34 starts at left tackle and five at center during his time at Duke.

    Seattle Seahawks

    Best-case scenario for the Seahawks: Seattle loads the decks with skill-position talents by drafting Brock Bowers.

    Another name that has made multiple appearances over this article is Bowers, who rightfully should appear in every best-case scenario for a team in need of a tight end picking outside of the top 10.

    MORE: Top TEs in the 2024 NFL Draft

    The Seattle Seahawks have one of the best collection of skills position players — DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jaxon-Smith Njigba, Kenneth Walker III, and Zach Charbonnet — outside of the tight end position. Noah Fant is set to become a free agent, and the team has already released Will Dissly, which certainly means the team could address the position in the draft.

    Some may consider Bowers a luxury pick of sorts when the team could certainly invest more draft capital into the offensive line. Still, his dynamic playmaking ability could give the Seahawks an elite collection of playmakers to help determine if quarterback Geno Smith can truly elevate his level of play to the point where this team could make some real noise in the NFC.

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Best-case scenario for the Bucs: Jackson Powers-Johnson becomes the final piece of an improving Tampa Bay offensive line.

    Continuing the trend of players who have made multiple appearances on this list, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers truly would love to land this type of player to anchor the interior of their offensive line moving forward.

    The Bucs line features arguably the best left tackle in the league in Tristan Wirfs and an ascending right tackle in Luke Goedeke, but the interior of the offensive line struggled for a vast majority of the 2023 season.

    Ryan Jensen retired earlier this offseason after suffering a season-ending injury before the start of last year, which led to expanded roles for center Robert Hainsey and right guard Cody Mauch, who were mostly a weakness for opposing teams to exploit.

    Powers-Johnson would immediately improve this unit and likely help the Bucs’ rushing attack take another step in the right direction in 2024.

    Tennessee Titans

    Best-case scenario for the Titans: Tennessee doubles down by landing the best tackle prospect in the class with Joe Alt to pair with Peter Skoronski.

    The Tennessee Titans appear set to move forward with quarterback Will Levis as their starter in 2024. The organization now has to put him in a position to succeed by surrounding him with ample talent.

    Alt’s name came up on the best-case scenario list for the Bears and Jets, but odds are the Titans won’t let the best tackle prospect in this class get past them when they pick at seventh overall.

    The offensive line needs to be improved if they hope for Levis to play all 17 games next season. Unlike some of the unlikely best-case scenarios listed above, this one feels more like a probability than a possibility.

    Washington Commanders

    Best-case scenario for the Commanders: Washington simply finds a way to reunite Caleb Williams with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

    The new regime in Washington is likely just fine standing pat at No. 2 overall and selecting either Daniels or Maye after the Bears make their selection to begin the 2024 NFL Draft.

    However, in a best-case scenario, the Commanders would find a way to land Caleb Williams — who grew up in the DC area — and reunite him with Kliff Kingsbury, who spent the 2023 season as the senior offensive analyst under Lincoln Riley.

    Williams fully understands the offensive system Kingsbury uses and would hit the ground running from a schematic standpoint from Day 1 in the NFL. Is this scenario highly unlikely? Yeah, probably. Yet, Williams would only need to fall one spot for this to become a reality.
