The Kansas City Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowl championships, and the NFL community shifts its focus to the offseason and the all-important 2024 NFL Draft.

The NFL Draft is scheduled to begin on April 25, and there will be plenty of discussion leading up to draft night. The Chicago Bears own the top pick once again after last year’s trade with the Carolina Panthers. Recent reports indicate it will take a “historic haul” for the Bears to trade away the top choice, making it a strong possibility that Justin Fields could be on the move. Will they take a quarterback with the No. 1 pick this time or trade back again and continue to build around Fields? The Bears’ decision is sure to shake up the top of the draft board.

There will be plenty more to debate leading up to draft night. If the Bears do trade back, who moves up? What team lands Marvin Harrison Jr.? We will not be incorporating trades in these mocks and free agency is sure to change team needs, but we are going to assume that Fields is gone in this mock draft.

Notes:

Jayden Daniels’ athleticism has drawn comparisons to Lamar Jackson and some team will fall in love with him in the top three picks. The Patriots need a quarterback this offseason, whether it be Fields or one of the top three in this class.

Offensive players make up my first seven picks and 20 of my top 32 picks this April. Offensive line is extremely deep this year, accounting for nine choices in the first round. The Ravens will certainly be looking for offensive line help this draft, and Troy Fautanu gives them someone who can play both tackle and guard.

Biggest Reach: J.J. McCarthy to Raiders
I’m a fan of the top three quarterbacks, but the rest all have second-round grades or worse, in my opinion. McCarthy is trending to be a mid-to-late first-rounder, while Bo Nix and Michael Penix could also hear their names called.

Best Bargain: Cooper DeJean to Rams
DeJean is one of my favorite prospects in this draft and any team that lands him will have an instant star on the back end of their defense.

Ideal Fit: Marvin Harrison Jr. to Cardinals
Arizona gets to sit back and wait for the best prospect in the class since the three teams ahead are all in the quarterback market. Harrison gives Kyler Murray an elite weapon that Cardinals’ offense desperately needs.
