Draftman Rick's Mock Draft
2024 NFL Mock Draft – First Round – Final Version 4/25/24 4:00pm (And Grading The Mock Draft Experts Including Me)
Hi Draft Fans,
Here is how I see the 2024 NFL draft shaping up. It’s quarterback city this year. I expect quarterbacks to do the Lawrence Welk… a 1 and a 2 and a 3! Yes, I think the top three picks in the draft will be quarterbacks and the fourth one won’t be far behind. As many as six could go in the first round. Even more teams than that need a quarterback. That will lead to some craziness with trades. Expect a lot of wide receivers and offensive linemen, too. Teams will be fighting for a good offensive lineman. Mel Kiper said that he thinks this is the most interesting draft he has seen in the 46 years he has covered the draft. That means it will be hard on people like me who try to predict players to go in the first round, especially to the right team. I like predictability. This draft will likely have very little of it. So, I’ve put on my thinking cap… and blew a hole through the top of it trying to figure it out!
We'll see how many of my first rounders actually go in the first round. I’ll be satisfied with 25 or 26, but my record is 29 out of 32. So, here goes!​
​
1) Chicago – Caleb Williams, QB, Southern Cal – I think Williams will be fantastic and the best QB in this draft.
2) Washington – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU – Daniels has great touch on his throws and is extremely fast when he runs. He has a thin frame, so will he stay healthy?
3) New England – Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina – Maye runs hot and cold, but when he’s on, he has Josh Allen type skills.
4) Arizona – Marvin Harrison Jr., - Harrison just doesn’t have any significant flaws. He should be a great one.
5) LA Chargers – JC Latham, OT, Alabama – I think the Chargers will end up with Latham whether they take him here or trade down with the Vikings.
6) NY Giants – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU – QB Daniel Jones is not too good, but I don’t think they will trade up to get a QB. They have not had an excellent receiver since Odell Beckham Jr.
7) Tennessee – Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame – Alt is the best left tackle in the draft, and the Titans must have one.
8) Atlanta – Dallas Turner, LB, Alabama - Falcons need a pass rusher, period!
9) Chicago – Rome Odunze, WR, Washington – Odunze is the last of the three awesome WRs. If the Bears draft him, Caleb Williams will have D. J. Moore, Keenan Allen and him to throw to.
10) NY Jets – Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State – Jets strongly consider Brock Bowers, but I think they might take an OT, like Fuaga or Olu Fashanu. They like Odunze if he falls.
11) Minnesota – J. J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan – There’s a good chance the Vikings will trade up to get McCarthy, but I think they will end up with him.
12) Denver – Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo – Broncos are another QB needy team but don’t have a second round pick to help them move up to get one. I’m not sure if they like Bo Nix enough to draft him here. They could trade down and take him or stay put for a CB or pass rusher.
13) Las Vegas – Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington – The Raiders signed Gardner Minshew, but he is not the long-term answer. Raiders could wind up late in the first round and take Penix.
14) New Orleans – Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State – Fashanu is a very solid prospect. Most any team would be happy with him.
15) Indianapolis – Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia – I think the Colts might have to move up to get Bowers who could be the next Travis Kelce.
16) Seattle – Troy Fautanu, G/OT, Washington – Many forecast Fautanu to play guard in the NFL, and Seahawks need an interior offensive lineman.
17) Jacksonville – Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama – Alabama is known for great CBs. Arnold is the next in line.
18) Cincinnati – Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas – Bengals lost DT D. J. Reeder and must have a replacement.
19) LA Rams – Jared Verse, DE, Florida State – Rams top need is a pass rusher. Laiatu Latu is also a strong possibility.
20) Pittsburgh – Graham Barton, C/G, Duke – Pittsburgh needs a center and a wide receiver.
21) Miami – Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois – Dolphins need a DT to replace Christian Wilkins who left in free agency.
22) Philadelphia – Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia – Eagles really need a CB, but they like to take big men in the first round and love guys from Georgia.
23) Minnesota – Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas – I’m not sure the Vikings will still have this pick if they trade up, but if they keep it, they need a WR or a CB.
24) Dallas – Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma – Cowboys have to replace the offensive linemen that they lost in free agency.
25) Green Bay – Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa – Packers need a complement to CB Jaire Alexander, and DeJean can also play safety. If an offensive lineman they like falls to here, they would probably take him.
26) Tampa Bay – Chop Robinson, LB, Penn State – Robinson has tremendous athletic ability. While not bad, his production was a bit below his measurements, but someone will take a chance on getting the most out of him.
27) Arizona – Laiatu Latu, LB, UCLA – If Latu did not have a neck issue, he would likely be in the top 10. He might be anyway if a team like Atlanta or Chicago thinks his neck is not high risk.
28) Buffalo – Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU – If you trade away your number 1 WR in Stephon Diggs, you better bring in someone to help pick up the slack.
29) Detroit – Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama – Oh yeah! Kool-Aid’s here bringing you fun. Kool-Aid’s got receivers on the run. Get a big wide happy ear-to-ear Kool-Aid smile! I couldn’t help myself.
30) Baltimore – Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson – Ravens want a CB or offensive lineman with CB being slightly more needed.
31) San Francisco – Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona – The 49ers need offensive line help, and Morgan can potentially play all three of those positions.
32) Kansas City – Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas – Chiefs must have a wide receiver in this draft. Also, they need a left tackle, so I think they take one or the other here.
Other first round possibilities…
Bo Nix, QB, Oregon, Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State, Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina, Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia, Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington, Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU, Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon, Darius Robinson, DE, Missouri, Edgerrin Cooper, ILB, Texas A&M, Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia, Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri, T. J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State.
Anyone else would be somewhat of a reach.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!

Grading the Mock Draft Experts (2024)
​
Hope you are having a good day. Each year, I like to compare how my first round mock draft stacked up with the experts in the field. Anybody can SAY they are good at mock drafts. I like proof! I have reviewed lots of mock drafts from the experts who get paid to do this stuff. I include familiar names and those who might not be so familiar but have excellent track records. These mock drafts are almost all from websites or newspapers where you would expect to find the best of the best, so you will recognize many of the names. Two popular ways exist to grade a draft. You can grade it by seeing how many players you name to go in the first round who actually go in the first round, or you can see how many you pick to the correct team. Adding the two together seems like a fair way of scoring it. All of these appear to be final versions of each person's mock draft.
* Also, check out https://www.thehuddlereport.com/mock.scores.shtml which grades mock drafts for the last five years from some of the best experts in the field and others who are just getting started. You have to have a well-established website to be considered. Maybe I'll get there some day. They score players going in the first round as one point (fair enough) and players to the correct team as two points (seems too heavy considering trades can royally mess that up). Anyway, my 5-year mock draft record would rank tied for 3th of the 75 experts who have 5-year records using their scoring method and tied for 5th out of 171 experts for this year.
​​​
Here are the results, including where I fit in if scoring one point for going in the first round and one point for the correct team. I tied for 3rd out of 23 mock drafters. Here are the scores. The date of the mock drafts is assumed to be the day of the draft unless otherwise known and listed.

I used to consider Nolan Nawrocki to be the king of mock drafts. Nolan learned from the deceased all-time draft master of Pro Football Weekly, Joel Buschbaem. Nawrocki was hired as a scout by the Raiders in 2019 then let go in 2022 and has since drifted into the ether. Rick Gosselin and Michael Abromowitz were awesome but have stopped putting out a mock draft. So, who’s the new king of mock drafts? I’d say it’s Jason Boris of the Times News in Lehighton, PA. According to the Huddle Report, who scores lots of mock drafts, Jason is number 1 for his 5-year average. Jason is incredibly insightful.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!

Previous Years - Mock Drafts and Grading the Mock Draft Experts
2023...
Hi Draft Fans,
Here is how I see the 2023 NFL draft shaping up. Many of the picks at the top of the draft will be determined by what the Houston Texans do at pick number 2. They are not telling anyone. Even their own people are thinking in two different directions. Some say it will be a quarterback. Some say it will be a defensive player. We mock drafters are left to guess, and if we are wrong, the penalty will be severe! The other big guessing game involves where Bijan Robinson will be drafted.
We'll see how many of my first rounders actually go in the first round. Since Miami forfeited their pick for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton, the first round only has 31 picks this year. I’ll be satisfied with 25, but my record is 29 out of 32. so here goes!
​
1) Carolina - Bryce Young, QB, Alabama - Panthers likely have chosen Young over other QBs.
2) Houston - Will Anderson Jr., OLB, Alabama - If the Texans take a defensive player over quarterback C. J. Stroud, they are an even nuttier franchise than I thought, but it looks like they will.
3) Arizona - Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech - Cardinals would like to trade down and still get Wilson.
4) Indianapolis - C. J. Stroud - Colts will pick a QB. I think he will be either Stroud or Will Levis.
5) Seattle - Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia - Carter was falling but not out of the top 10. No way.
6) Detroit – Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois – Lions have brought in a few cornerbacks, but they need a shutdown corner to lead the group.
7) Las Vegas – Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon - Currently, Raiders can't cover anybody.
8) Atlanta - Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas - Falcons need help on defense, but Arthur Smith was the offensive coordinator for the Titans with Derrick Henry and knows what a great RB can do.
9) Chicago - Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State - Bears need to protect Justin Fields, period.
10) Philadelphia - Nolan Smith, DE/OLB, Georgia - Eagles have a long history of drafting linemen in the first round.
11) Tennessee - Peter Skoronski, OT/G/C, Northwestern - Titans and Skoronski are both “meat and potatoes” kind of people.
12) Houston - Will Levis, QB, Kentucky - If the Texans don’t get a QB high in this draft, you can put a big red X by their 2023 season.
13) Green Bay - Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah - Packers lost TE Robert Tonyan to free agency.
14) New England - Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee - I think he is the best right tackle in the draft.
15) NY Jets - Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia - Aaron Rodgers is here and HATES to be rushed.
16) Washington - Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State – Forbes is so thin that he makes Twiggy look like an elephant, but he is a ball hawk who can score when he intercepts the ball.
17) Pittsburgh - Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State – LB and OT are needs, also.
18) Detroit - Lukas Van Ness, DE/DT, Iowa - Lions were thinking about Bijan Robinson, but if he’s gone, a defensive lineman to pair with Aidan Hutchinson would be a good idea.
19) Tampa Bay - Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson - Bucs need pass rushers and an OT.
20) Seattle - Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida - Richardson could be long gone by now. He could even go to the Seahawks with the fifth overall pick.
21) LA Chargers - Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College – Should be defense but seem WR crazy!
22) Baltimore - Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland - I think CB is the Ravens biggest need, and Banks played at nearby Maryland.
23) Minnesota - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State - The Vikings need someone to take the pressure off of Justin Jefferson. I’m sure Smith-Njigba goes higher, but I couldn’t find a slot.
24) Jacksonville - Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma – Jags lost OT Jawaan Taylor to free agency, and OT Cam Robinson faces a performance enhancing drug suspension at the start of this year.
25) NY Giants - Jordan Addison, WR, Southern Cal - If a good WR falls, Giants badly need one.
26) Dallas - Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame - If Cowboys can figure out how to get Bijan Robinson, I think they will.
27) Buffalo – Brian Branch, CB/S, Alabama – Bills could also use an offensive lineman or WR.
28) Cincinnati - Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama - Bengals need to shore up the RB position.
29) New Orleans - Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU – Saints need defensive linemen and receivers.
30) Philadelphia - Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh - Super quick. Perfect for Eagles 4-3 defense.
31) Kansas City - Will McDonald IV, DE, Iowa State - Edge rusher, OT, WR and CB are options.
​
Other first round possibilities…
Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee, Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State, Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia, Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State, O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida, John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State, Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech, Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern, Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson, Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan, Drew Sanders, ILB, Arkansas, Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson, Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia, Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina, DJ Turner II, CB, Michigan.
​
Anyone else would be somewhat of a reach.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!

Note: Only 31 picks were in the first round this year due to the Dolphins forfeiting their pick for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton.

2022...
Hi Draft Fans,
Here is how I see the 2022 NFL draft shaping up. Just when things start settling down, Jacksonville is considering taking a surprise at the first pick of the draft. Aidan Hutchinson has been the player at the top of nearly all draft boards, but Travon Walker is now being considered along with Ikem Ekwonu. Also, if the Panthers or Falcons don’t take a QB, it might be a while before one is chosen.
We'll see how many of my first rounders actually go in the first round. I’ll be satisfied with 25, but my record is 29 out of 32, so here goes!
​
1) Jacksonville-Travon Walker,Edge,Georgia - GM Trent Baalke has always liked to take big swings. Walker has a high ceiling but not a ton of production. If Baalke misses on this pick, he might have to pack his bags… again.
2) Detroit-Aidan Hutchinson,Edge,Michigan - If the Jags don’t take Hutchinson, the Lions will do cartwheels taking the card up to pick the hometown boy.
3) Houston-Ikem Ekwonu,OT,NC State - Ekwonu is a great athlete with a mean streak.
4) New York Jets-Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner,CB,Cincinnati - The Jets like Kayvon Thibodeaux and will consider him, too.
5) New York Giants-Charles Cross,OT,Mississippi State - The Giants want a good offensive tackle. I hear they like Cross, but that would mean they have to swap Andrew Thomas to right tackle. Do you risk moving the only offensive lineman that was playing well? Evan Neal makes more sense, but I’m going to bow to the information I keep hearing. I’ll be hitting my head with a hammer if Neal is the pick here.
6) Carolina-Evan Neal,OT,Alabama - I think the Panthers will take whichever tackle the Giants do not take. A lot of people have the Panthers taking a QB here. I’m not sure if the Panthers are blowing smoke, but they have me convinced they are not taking a QB in this spot.
7) New York Giants-Kayvon Thibodeaux,Edge,Oregon - Thibodeaux is a polarizing player. He has the quickest first step to rush the QB of anyone in this draft, but his motor does not always run as hot as it should. Derek Stingley Jr. and Jermaine Johnson II are possibilities.
8) Atlanta-Jermaine Johnson II,Edge,Florida State - The Falcons need a WR, so Garrett Wilson or Drake London could go here, but I like a pass rusher with the Falcons having the worst pass rush in the NFL.
9) Seattle-Derek Stingley Jr.,CB,LSU - As a freshman, Stingley showed he was one of the very best.
10) New York Jets-Garrett Wilson,WR,Ohio State - Once London or Wilson are picked, you will see a lot of WRs taken in the next dozen or so picks.
11) Washington-Drake London,WR,Southern Cal - Commanders could go WR or safety here.
12) Minnesota- Kyle Hamilton,S,Notre Dame - If you had asked me about a month ago, I would have said Hamilton would be a top 5 pick. He’s too good to last much longer.
13) Houston-Trent McDuffie,CB,Washington - With Ekwonu and McDuffie, the Texans would have two nice players to build on.
14) Baltimore-Jordan Davis,DT,Georgia - Davis blots out the sun. He’s just the kind of player the Ravens love.
15) Philadelphia-Jameson Williams,WR,Alabama -Williams could be long gone by now, but if his torn ACL causes him to still be available, the Eagles would be happy to take him.
16) New Orleans-Trevor Penning,OT,Northern Iowa - The Saints must replace left tackle Terron Armstead who left in free agency.
17) Los Angeles Chargers-Chris Olave,WR,Ohio State - The Chargers would like to have taken Penning, but if Olave is there, their wide receiver corps could be tops in the NFL.
18) Philadelphia-Devin Lloyd,LB,Utah It almost broke the internet when a 7 year old Eagles fan told GM Howie Roseman “for the love of God” take a WR or LB! Eagles might just oblige by taking both.
19) New Orleans-Kenny Pickett,QB,Pittsburgh - I just don’t know where the QBs will go, but we might be about to see how much the Saints like Jameis Winston.
20) Pittsburgh-Malik Willis,QB,Liberty - The Steelers almost have to add a QB at some point in this draft. I don’t see them just handing the job to Mitchell Trubisky with no questions asked.
21) New England-Zion Johnson,OG,Boston College - The Patriots need to add a linebacker, also.
22) Green Bay-Jahan Dotson,WR,Penn State - For the first time in 20 years, the Packers have to add a WR in the first round, don’t they?!
23) Arizona-George Karlaftis,Edge,Purdue - The Cardinals need a WR, so they might take one here, but they need a replacement for Chandler Jones who left in free agency.
24) Dallas-Kenyon Green,OG,Texas A&M - The Cowboys must keep Dak Prescott upright, and Green is very solid. Center Tyler Linderbaum is a possibility as is a trade up for an edge rusher or WR.
25) Buffalo-Kaiir Elam,CB,Florida - The one weak spot on the Bills team is at CB. They could take one here or go with RB Breece Hall as a luxury pick.
26) Tennessee-Treylon Burks,WR,Arkansas - Burks fits the type of receiver the Titans like, especially with thoughts of trading A.J. Brown who is of similar size. They need offensive linemen, too.
27) Tampa Bay-Devonte Wyatt,DT,Georgia – Due to character concerns, some teams have taken Wyatt off of their draft board. Maybe I should do the same, but he’s very talented.
28) Green Bay-Arnold Ebeketie,Edge,Penn State - The Packers need someone to replace the pass rush of Za’Darius Smith who left in free agency.
29) Kansas City-Christian Watson,WR,North Dakota State - With Tyreek Hill leaving, the Chiefs need an athletic WR. They also need an edge rusher and a cornerback.
30) Kansas City-Daxton Hill,DB,Michigan - The Chiefs are said to be looking to trade up, so they might not have this pick. If they stay put, they need defensive back help, assuming they’ve already taken a WR.
31) Cincinnati-Tyler Smith,OT,Tulsa - It’s time for the Bengals to finish fixing their offensive line. A cornerback is also needed, like Kyler Gordon or Andrew Booth Jr.
32) Detroit-Lewis Cine,S,Georgia - The Lions have a lot of holes to fill, and Cine hits like a ton of bricks.
​
These players could go in the first round… Matt Corral,QB,Mississippi, Desmond Ridder,QB,Cincinnati, Breece Hall,RB,Iowa State, Kenneth Walker III,RB,Michigan State, Skyy Moore,WR,Western Michigan, George Pickens,WR,Georgia, Bernhard Raimann,OT,Central Michigan, Tyler Linderbaum,C,Iowa, Nik Bonitto,Edge,Oklahoma, David Ojabo,Edge,Michigan, Travis Jones,DT,Connecticut, Logan Hall,DT,Houston, Nakobe Dean,LB,Georgia, Quay Walker,LB,Georgia, Andrew Booth Jr.,CB,Clemson, Kyler Gordon,CB,Washington, Jalen Pitre,S,Baylor
Anyone else would be somewhat of a reach.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!
