Next update: Occasionally. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.

The order of this 2024 NFL Mock Draft is based on the 2023 NFL Season Previews.

NFL Mock Draft 2024 updated Sept. 27, 2023.

1. 1. Denver Broncos: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
      Russell Wilson struggled last year because of Nathaniel Hackett. He continued to play poorly in the opener versus the Raiders before improving versus the Redskins. If the losing continues, the Broncos will have to find a new franchise quarterback.
      
      Caleb Williams supplanted Spencer Rattler at Oklahoma, then put together massive performances at USC.

   2. Chicago Bears: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
      It’s not clear why, but Justin Fields has styled himself after Drew Bledsoe, a statue-esque quarterback who held the ball way too long in the pocket and took tons of sacks. Fields ran just twice following the opening drive versus the Buccaneers. What an embarrassment. A quarterback change is needed.
      
      Drake Maye is an athletic quarterback with good accuracy and field vision. His mechanics need a bit of work, but he’s still an elite quarterback prospect.
      
      
   3. Chicago Bears: Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA
      Here’s some help for the Bears’ front seven. Chicago lost Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn recently, and neither has been replaced. As a result, the Bears are 29th in defensive EPA.
      
      Laiatu Latu is a dangerous pass rusher with incredible athleticism and a strong frame.
      
      
   4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
      Mike Jurecki is the best team reporter in the business, and he said on Twitter that if the Cardinals obtained the No. 1 pick, they would trade the selection to a team like the Buccaneers because they’re stuck with Kyler Murray’s albatross of a contract. The Broncos make sense as a trading partner as well.
      
      Instead of selecting Caleb Williams, the Cardinals could look to bolster the rest of their roster around Murray. With that in mind, I can’t imagine the Cardinals passing up on a replacement for DeAndre Hopkins. Arizona can get a new No. 1 wideout to pair with Marquise Brown.
      
      Marvin Harrison is a 6-foot-4 receiver who happens to be a huge mismatch weapon. He was sorely missed in the college football semi-final versus Georgia when he suffered a concussion.
      
      
   5. Los Angeles Rams: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State
      The Rams have huge holes on their entire roster. This includes edge rusher, as the Rams sorely missed Von Miller last year.
      
      Jared Verse has nice athleticism and a steady motor.
      
      
   6. Las Vegas Raiders: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
      We know the Raiders wanted to draft Paris Johnson before the Cardinals sniped them.
      
      Olumuyiwa Fashanu looks like a franchise left tackle. He is a massive blocker with elite athleticism for the position.
      
      
   7. Arizona Cardinals: Bralen Trice, DE, Washington
      The Cardinals have no pass rush. That’s what happens when you lose players like Chandler Jones and J.J. Watt in consecutive offseasons.
      
      Bralen Trice has been a great pass rusher for Washington. He has big upside.
      
      
   8. Minnesota Vikings: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
      Kirk Cousins is probably playing his final season in Minnesota. If the Vikings continue to lose, they’ll be in position to draft a franchise quarterback.
      
      Quinn Ewers has a big arm, but must improve his accuracy.
      
      Pick change; previously Shedeur Sanders, QB
      
      
   9. New England Patriots: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
      The Patriots didn’t do enough to improve their offensive line last offseason, so they’ll need to find upgrades next spring.
      
      Amarius Mims has gotten lots of positive feedback from the scouting community. He has a tremendous skill set and lots of upside.
      
      Pick change; previously Joe Alt, OT
      
      
   10. Los Angeles Chargers: Kalen King, CB, Penn State
       The Chargers need better cornerback play, given that they battle Patrick Mahomes twice per year. J.C. Jackson can’t be trusted after what occurred last year.
       
       Kalen King doesn’t have the best size, but he’s a very talented shutdown cover corner.
       
       
   11. Tennessee Titans: J.C. Latham, OT/G, Alabama
       The Titans could go back-to-back offensive linemen. They drafted Peter Skoronski to replace Nate Davis, and they could use this pick to find someone to fill Taylor Lewan’s shoes.
       
       J.C. Latham has the power to start at guard and athleticism to be a tackle.
       
       Pick change; previously Amarius Mims, OT
       
       
   12. New York Giants: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
       I’m not breaking any news here by telling you that the Giants need help at receiver.
       
       Emeka Egbuka was a big-time producer with C.J. Stroud during the ’22 season.
       
       Pick change; previously Xavier Worthy, WR
       
       
   13. New York Jets: Kingsley Suamatia, OT, BYU
       The Jets desperately wanted a tackle in the 2023 NFL Draft, but all the players at the position went off the board before they picked.
       
       Kingsley Suamatia has amazing athleticism for a tackle of his size.
       
       
   14. Seattle Seahawks: Maason Smith, DT, LSU
       The Seahawks have a poor pass rush. It was shocking that they didn’t address it this past offseason.
       
       Maason Smith has a big and lengthy frame and great athleticism, but he missed most of the ’22 season with a torn ACL.
       
       
   15. Green Bay Packers: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
       David Bakhtiari is probably playing his final year as a Packer, so here’s a replacement for him.
       
       Joe Alt is a former tight end who has moved to left tackle. He has good size, length, and athleticism.
       
       Pick change; previously J.C. Latham, OT/G
       
       
   16. New Orleans Saints: J.T. Tuimoloau, DE, Ohio State
       The Saints wanted Myles Murphy in the 2023 NFL Draft, so here’s another talented edge rusher to help the mediocre pass rush.
       
       J.T. Tuimoloau has flashed some great pass-rushing potential, but must be more consistent.
