2024 NFL Draft: NFL.com releases new mock draft following Scouting Combine

There’s another mock draft in the books, this time from NFL.com after the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

Some familiar faces are at the top of course, but there are some new surprises. Just wait until you see what’s changed with the top 10!

Let’s dive into NFL.com’s latest mock draft after the scouting combine, this time from Charles Davis.

1. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, QB – USC

This has been the general consensus for a lot of mock drafts and nothing changes here. Williams is the top quarterback in the draft and a chance for the Bears to hit the reset button.

With this selection, gone is former first round pick Justin Fields and in comes Williams. It’s hard to envision a scenario where this doesn’t happen at this point.

2. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB – LSU

Davis is putting Daniels in the QB2 spot in this draft. The Heisman Trophy winner will be the new face of the Washington Commanders. He has serious franchise quarterback vibes and could turn this team around in a hurry.

Daniels is a true dual threat and only got better as he progressed in college. If this happens, the dual-threat gets a chance to work with Kliff Kingsbury. He didn’t work out as a head coach but he’s got quite the creative offensive mind.

3. New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB – North Carolina

The next quarterback off the board is Maye. He was the QB2 for so long, but Daniels’ breakout year pushed him above the Tar Heels signal caller. There are some who love this QB and others who say it’s a whole lot of smoke and mirrors. We shall see.

It seems like the Patriots need a reset at QB and Maye is the guy to do it. New head coach Jarod Mayo will usher in a new era in New England and Maye is the prototypical guy to build around for years to come.

4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR – Ohio State

Harrison Jr. is by far the best wide receiver in this class. If the Cardinals stick with Kyler Murray, which according to their Twitter account they will, and don’t attempt to get one of the top QBs in this draft, Harrison Jr. is an obvious pick.

You have to give Murray a legitimate No. 1 pass catcher. Harrison Jr. could turn into one of the best playmakers in the league right away.

5. Los Angeles Chargers: Rome Odunze, WR – Washington

A change here from other mock drafts around the sports media world. Odunze could very well be WR2 in this draft and Jim Harbaugh won’t waste time with this pick.

Seeing him up close against his Michigan defense, he’ll get a new weapon for Justin Herbert. The Chargers offense just got more dynamic in 2024.

6. New York Giants: JJ McCarthy, QB – Michigan

Here’s a big change in recent mock drafts and it’s been getting buzz lately. McCarthy is a prototypical quarterback but his stats did not jump off the page.

However, he’s a field general and a bonafide leader, according to Jim Harbuagh. Davis has McCarthy as the new franchise face in New York. An interesting pick to say the least.

7. Tennessee Titans: Joe Alt, OT – Notre Dame

So here’s where Alt ends up within the first round of the NFL Draft. He’s been a popular selection around this section anyway.

The Titans get a good one though. Whoever is taking snaps behind center next season, Alt should be able to protect him as a day one starter and be a franchise piece for the next decade.

8. Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, EDGE – Alabama

Dallas Turner was a menace for the Crimson Tide over the course of his college career. He seemingly just fits Atlanta right? He logged 10 sacks last year and 22.5 for his career and put up 32.5 tackles for loss.

Raheem Morris might hit a home run with this type of pick in the 2024 draft. Davis seems to think so as well. The Falcons could get an instant pass-rushing starter here.

9. Chicago Bears: Malik Nabers, WR – LSU

The Bears get a quarterback and now they get a wide receiver within the first 10 picks. It’s a pretty good haul on paper isn’t it?

Nabers was part of an explosive LSU offense in 2023 led by Daniels. But Nabers was one of his favorite targets and he certainly made opposing defensive backs look pretty silly.

10. New York Jets: Taliese Fuaga, OT – Oregon State

Here’s the franchise tackle drafted by the Jets to protect Aaron Rodgers in the immediacy. Fuaga is a monster athlete and a popular pick to be one of the first two or three tackles to be selected.

He has all the tools to start right away. Certainly, the Jets need offensive line help going into 2024, even if there are other weapons on the board that look appealing.
