2024 NFL Mock Draft: Offensive dominates first two rounds

1. Chicago Bears Caleb Williams, QB, USC The quarterback with the highest upside on the board, the Bears reset priorities to help the unique but talented Williams reach his Patrick Mahomes-like ceiling. 2. Washington Commanders Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina The Commanders secure the best QB available. Even without Williams' immense upside, Maye is comfortable in the pocket and capable in the "Air Raid" derivative scheme employed by new coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. 3. New England Patriots Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU A trade wouldn't be a surprise here but predicting the priorities and appetite for risk from personnel boss Eliot Wolf and head coach Jerod Mayo isn't easy. In the Heisman winner the Patriots would have a dual-threat quarterback with a quick trigger and the open-field skills that indicate his ceiling hasn't been touched. 4. Arizona Cardinals Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State Nothing to overthink here. Kyler Murray gets a pro-ready, top-tier receiver. This tandem in their physical prime could quickly rejuvenate the Cardinals' passing game. 5. Los Angeles Chargers Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame Alt brings another sure thing to the edge in Jim Harbaugh's run-centric scheme that should make Justin Herbert a deadly force from the pocket. 6. New York Giants Rome Odunze, WR, Washington Plus size and athleticism with the ability to separate from man coverage and create after the catch. Odunze isn't a speedster but uses his body and reach to claim every jump ball. 7. Tennessee Titans Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State Fashanu is the most refined pass blocker in the class. Tennessee is trying to support their new potential franchise quarterback in Will Levis, and this is the first step. 8. Atlanta Falcons Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama Plus athleticism will excite Raheem Morris as he brings his 3-4 scheme to the Falcons, who can't seem to find a consistent pass rush outside. 9. Chicago Bears Malik Nabers, WR, LSU One of the youngest prospects in the draft, Nabers can ease into the offense as a second receiver behind DJ Moore and help redefine Monsters of the Midway. 10. New York Jets Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia Drafting tight ends in the top 10 might be foolhardy, but the Jets are in win-now mode yet again. Bowers brings a gamebreaker approach to tight end that Aaron Rodgers can use to exploit defenses instantly. 11. Minnesota Vikings Jared Verse, DE, Florida State The Vikings prioritize length in their edge group and Verse has it in spades, combined with explosive athleticism and decent technical refinement. Verse should bring up the floor of a depleted defensive line and elevate Brian Flores to new heights as a defensive coordinator. 12. Denver Broncos J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan Betting big on the underdog quarterback isn't a novel concept to Sean Payton, who tutored undrafted free agent Tony Romo in Dallas and pushed his chips to the middle of the table for Drew Brees coming off shoulder surgery. McCarthy isn't going to flinch under the taskmaster coaching of Payton but getting great results might mean surviving growing pains. 13. Las Vegas Raiders Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo With 4.4 speed and nearly unprecedented playmaking to get to balls in the air, Mitchell has a chance to rise to stardom early behind the Raiders' dominant pass rush. 14. New Orleans Saints JC Latham, OT, Alabama Pass protection is a serious need in New Orleans with a pair of wobbly tackles. A franchise whose draft board rarely matches the masses targets Latham for his strength and the footwork to help preserve QB Derek Carr after a rough year running for cover in 2023. 15. Indianapolis Colts Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama The Colts would be intrigued by a move down with a handful of offensive linemen and wide receivers that fit the prototypes GM Chris Ballard prefers. The value of landing Arnold in this spot is too good to resist. 16. Seattle Seahawks Jer'Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois Versatile defensive linemen are like favorite songs for new coach Mike Macdonald — he can't pick just one. A gap-shooting force with strength and agility, Newton brings valued versatility to the new-look Seahawks. 17. Jacksonville Jaguars Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU Losing Calvin Ridley leaves a mark, but Thomas will be cheaper and more than capable with impressive size, speed and agility. 18. Cincinnati Bengals Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA Latu's technical refinement fits in a rotation with Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson but it might not be long before he becomes the marquee edge for the Bengals. 19. Los Angeles Rams Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State He's arguably a better long-term prospect than Joe Alt and JC Latham, but Fashanu isn't quite an out-of-the-box play at left tackle. He'll have a chance to nail down the job on a revamped offensive line that is suddenly a strength. 20. Pittsburgh Steelers Byron Murphy II, DL, Texas A ‘tweener who becomes a 3-4 defensive end in the Steelers' scheme, Murphy's burst and high motor make for the ideal match as Pittsburgh rebuilds the front seven. 21. Miami Dolphins Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State Miami could go with an interior lineman or select Fuaga, a power blocker with tackle and guard potential, to fill the massive gap created by right guard Robert Hunt's exit for Carolina. 22. Philadelphia Eagles Chop Robinson, DE, Penn State Significant changes came to the Eagles' defense after a late-season meltdown, and Robinson would help further refresh the pass rush alongside new addition Bryce Huff. 23. Minnesota Vikings Darius Robinson, DT, Missouri Robinson has great length, a stout frame and serious strength to further bolster Minnesota's defense. 24. Dallas Cowboys Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson Value at offensive tackle is tempting in this spot, but Wiggins could be a top-10 level NFL cornerback and is the best player available. Paired with Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, Wiggins would give the Cowboys a top-tier CB crew. 25. Green Bay Packers Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa There's just something about the Hawkeyes that appeals to Green Bay decision-makers who add the versatile DeJean as a peer to 2023 first-rounder via Iowa, outside linebacker Lukas Van Ness. 26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia Raw as a junior with only eight career starts, Mims has blackout-the-sun size at 6-8, 335 pounds and can break in at right tackle. 27. Arizona Cardinals Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama Signing Sean Murphy-Bunting is a solid start, but the Cardinals can't pass on Kool-Aid at the end of the first round. Can play man or zone and isn't afraid to step to the best receivers in the game. 28. Buffalo Bills Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State Coleman would be miscast as a No. 1 receiver or replacement for Stefon Diggs. But the Bills are setting up their offense to emphasize their talent at tight end, and can utilize the tall and reliable Coleman in downfield and contested catch spots. 29. Detroit Lions Ennis Rakestraw, CB, Missouri Willing in any role the Lions might choose, Rakestraw doesn't mind brawling with a competitive grade the Lions embrace. 30. Baltimore Ravens Troy Fautanu, OL, Washington Fautanu has tackle and guard flexibility and can pave wide paths in the running game. 31. San Francisco 49ers Graham Barton, C, Duke Capable at center or guard, Barton also has experience at left tackle. He's been on the maybe list of at least five teams before getting to this point, and GM John Lynch shouldn't think twice. 32. Kansas City Chiefs Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas Patrick Mahomes gets another big-play toy in Worthy, who ran the fastest 40 ever at the combine (4.21 seconds) right after receiving a motivating text from the KC quarterback. Second round 33. Carolina Panthers Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 34. New England Patriots Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona 35. Arizona Cardinals T'Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas 36. Washington Commanders Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma 37. Los Angeles Chargers Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan 38. Tennessee Titans Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan 39. Carolina Panthers Marshawn Kneeland, Edge, W. Michigan 40. Washington Commanders Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State 41. Green Bay Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia 42. Houston Texans Braden Fiske, DT, Florida State 43. Atlanta Falcons Cooper Beebe, OG, Kansas State 44. Las Vegas Raiders Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 45. New Orleans Saints Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina 46. Indianapolis Colts Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon 47. New York Giants Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 48. Jacksonville Jaguars Zach Frazier, OL, West Virginia 49. Cincinnati Bengals Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas 50. Philadelphia Eagles Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon 51. Pittsburgh Steelers Sedrick Van Pran, C, Georgia 52. Los Angeles Rams Payton Wilson, LB, NC State 53. Philadelphia Eagles Javon Bullard, S, Georgia 54. Cleveland Browns Bo Nix, QB, Oregon 55. Miami Dolphins Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson 56. Dallas Cowboys Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU 57. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 58. Green Bay Packers Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 59. Houston Texans Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan 60. Buffalo Bills Chris Braswell, Edge, Alabama 61. Detroit Lions Christian Haynes, OG, Connecticut 62. Baltimore Ravens Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida 63.
