It’s not clear why, but to start the season, Justin Fields 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. He rebounded after that, especially after returning from injury, but he was woeful against the Packers to close out the year. With the No. 1 pick will locked up, the Bears will almost certainly draft a quarterback and then trade Fields. Some Chicago fans may not want this, but that is what’s most likely to happen. The alternative is keeping Fields and trading this selection for a king’s ransom, but that strategy would entail paying Fields big money right away.
Caleb Williams supplanted Spencer Rattler at Oklahoma, then put together massive performances at USC.

The Redskins had major blocking issues that weren’t giving Sam Howell much of a chance. Howell, however, was benched twice, so the experiment might be over. The Redskins will strongly consider a new franchise quarterback with this pick.
Jayden Daniels is an accurate passer and a dangerous runner who possesses a quality arm.
Mac Jones sucks. The Patriots weren’t in a position to land a franchise quarterback in previous versions of this mock draft, but they are now that they are locked into the No. 3 spot. They have to move on from Jones.
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.
Mike Jurecki is the best team reporter in the business. He has never gotten anything wrong about the Cardinals as far as I know. He said that if Arizona obtained the No. 2 or 3 pick, it would trade out of it and draft Marvin Harrison Jr. to replace DeAndre Hopkins because the team is stuck with Kyler Murray’s contract. The Cardinals, however, aren’t in such a position because they defeated the Eagles in a very Pyrrhic victory.
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.
The Chargers need defense and offensive line help, but their play-making group is in need of some help as well. Keenan Allen turns 32 soon. Mike Williams is always hurt. Quentin Johnston did nothing as a rookie. Gerald Everett is just meh.
Brock Bowers is an elite athlete and a mismatch weapon.
I think the Giants would draft one of the top three quarterbacks in this class, but if all three are off the board once they’re on the clock, they’d probably find some help for Daniel Jones.
Malik Nabers is quick and athletic. He outplayed Kayshon Boutte when the two were in school together.
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.
Joe Alt is a former tight end who has moved to left tackle. He has good size, length, and athleticism.
The Falcons can’t possibly go into the 2024 season with Desmond Ridder as the starter again. However, this is too early to draft J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix. Plus, Atlanta may go after a veteran anyway, given that the team is ready to win now. The Falcons may decide to fix their edge rush instead.
Dallas Turner is a dynamic pass-rushing threat with immense upside who has drawn comparisons to Brian Burns.
The Bears are starved for offensive play-makers outside of D.J. Moore and Cole Kmet. I’m sure they’ll be interested in one of the many talented receivers in this class.
Rome Odunze has great size, but there are some concerns about separation ability.
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.
Olumuyiwa Fashanu looks like a franchise left tackle. He is a massive blocker with elite athleticism for the position..
The Vikings have lost a lot of talent on the defensive line recently. Here’s a big talent to help in the trenches.
Byron Murphy has been impressive as both a run defender and a pass rusher. The only negative is that he lacks length.
Russell Wilson is done in Denver. Sean Payton will want to find his own quarterback to establish as the face of the franchise.
Bo Nix has a solid arm and scrambling ability.
The Raiders really wanted Paris Johnson in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Cardinals sniped him off the board via trade. Here’s another tackle.
J.C. Latham has the power to start at guard and athleticism to be a tackle.
The Saints wanted Myles Murphy in the 2023 NFL Draft, so here’s another talented edge rusher to help the mediocre pass rush.
Laiatu Latu is a dangerous pass rusher with incredible athleticism and a strong frame.
The Colts need cornerback help to combat all the firepower the Jaguars and Texans have at receiver.
Nate Wiggins is a tall cornerback with plus athleticism and quickness.
The Seahawks are terrible against the run, and they could also use another player to put pressure on the quarterback, given that they’re in a division with Brock Purdy and Matthew Stafford.
Like his father, Kris Jenkins Jr. is a disruptive interior presence.
