We’re one month away from the 2024 NFL draft. The 2023 season is lengthy over, and we have seen high prospects make their instances at all-star occasions, the mix and professional days. There’s nonetheless time for change as we study increasingly more about how all 32 groups plan to strategy the draft, however we’re actually getting a clearer image of how this class stacks up — and who may get drafted.
So it looks like time to foretell all 257 names that shall be referred to as — and when they are going to be referred to as over the course of seven rounds. I discovered touchdown spots for 11 quarterbacks, together with 5 in Spherical 1. And two of these first-round passers have been picked right here after projected trades up the board.
Listed here are my predictions for Rounds 1-7. I offered full breakdowns for the primary three rounds then picked my favourite slot in every Day 3 spherical. Let’s get to it, beginning with the Bears’ straightforward name at No. 1 and wrapping up with Mr. Irrelevant for the Jets at No. 257. (Compensatory picks are denoted with an asterisk.)
Leap to a spherical:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7
ROUND 1
Caleb Williams, QB, USC
The Bears buying and selling Justin Fields to Pittsburgh cements their number of a quarterback at No. 1 total. Williams isn’t solely the perfect one on this class, but in addition the perfect of the previous decade. A proficient creator beneath middle, he accounted for 120 touchdowns in his three-year faculty profession (93 passing, 27 dashing) to simply 14 interceptions. The Bears have constructed a implausible supporting solid, permitting Williams the prospect to see on the spot success. He’ll be a Week 1 starter and will have a C.J. Stroud-like influence right here.
