2024 NFL Mock Draft: ESPN releases 2-round mock, predictions for first 64 picks

The latest 2024 NFL Mock Draft has been released from ESPN’s Matt Miller, who detailed two rounds and predictions for all 64 picks.

Miller predicted where the top quarterbacks, playmakers and under the radar prospects would go within the first two rounds. So maybe some shakeups are coming! There are no trades in this mock draft however.

Let’s dive into Miller’s 64-pick (two round) mock draft for ESPN.

1. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, QB – USC

It looks like the Bears opt for Williams over Justin Fields this spring. The former Heisman Trophy winner comes in as a better prospect than the former Ohio State star.

Matt Eberflus is back as the head coach and this could be the pick that turns things around for him. Williams would be a day one starter and could elevate the offense with his talent.

2. Washington Commanders: Drake Maye, QB – North Carolina

Maye is back to QB2 among mock drafts and Miller has the UNC signal caller off the board next. If the Commanders don’t trade up to draft Williams, this is certainly a nice consolation prize.

It would be something to select Maye, considering Washington already has former UNC quarterback Sam Howell, the one right before Maye for the Tar Heels. It appears the latter is the better prospect.

3. New England Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB – LSU

Daniels won the Heisman Trophy this year after an absurd season in 2023. The LSU quarterback only got better when he transferred from Arizona State.

The Patriots need a reset at quarterback and perhaps this dynamic passer and runner could be the answer. It appears the Mac Jones experiment in New England is over.

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

The Cardinals can get an instant impact weapon with Harrison Jr. and it’ll immediately help Kyler Murray. Murray, who was brought back midseason after a torn ACL, could use some more help.

Harrison Jr. was the most dominant wide receiver during his time with the Buckeyes. He’s as pro ready as any other prospect in this draft class.

5. Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Nabers, WR – LSU

Other than Harrison Jr., this is arguably the best wide receiver in the draft class. He went hand in hand with Daniels at LSU and was quite the target.

He can run the entire route tree and Jim Harbaugh gets one of the best pass catchers for Justin Herbert. Talk about an instant impact type of weapon.

6. New York Giants: Rome Odunze, WR  – Washington

Another instant impact type of weapon is Odunze. While the Giants’ quarterback situation is not as high quality as the Chargers, Odunze could help.

Odunze was Washington’s best pass catcher, aiding Michael Penix Jr. to his best years as a quarterback. This is a day one starter for the Giants and a needed jolt for the offense.

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

The Titans need to protect their quarterback Will Levis, or whoever it’s going to be in 2024. There’s a debate between the top tackles in the class but you can’t go wrong with Alt.

Alt was one of the best in the country over the last couple of seasons. There’s no question he was one of the team MVPs for Notre Dame in 2023.

8. Atlanta Falcons: Terrion Arnold, CB – Alabama

Arnold is as good as it gets and the Falcons will get a defensive playmaker in the secondary with a top 10 pick. New head coach Raheem Morris will kepe improving the defensive side of the ball.

So in essence, this pick makes the most sense. The most concerning thing for the Falcons is the quarterback position. But on the surface, this is the best for Atlanta at the moment.

9. Chicago Bears: Olu Fashanu, OT – Penn State

Fashanu is going to be needed to protect a new franchise quarterback. If Williams is going to succeed in Chicago, he’ll need to be protected before worrying about additional weapons on offense.

Alt has the argument as the top tackle but Fashanu might have a case as well. Either way, the Bears will likely take one of them in this specific scenario.

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

Speaking of protection, Aaron Rodgers needs it badly in 2024. If the Jets are going to have any success, they need their old, but future Hall of Fame quarterback, upright all season.

If so, then Fuaga could be one of the best picks in the draft based on the potential ripple effect. He’s a top three tackle, so this looks like a good selection.
