2024 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Bears Move on From Justin Fields

With the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the San Francisco 49ers in a thrilling Super Bowl matchup, it’s officially the start of the 2024 NFL Draft season. With evaluations happening from the start of summer and throughout the All-Star games, it’s time to answer the questions that have come while watching the film and figuring out where these players could go in the 2024 NFL Draft.

There is still plenty of time to answer these questions, from the NFL Scouting Combine to individual school Pro Days. In the end, many of these questions will be answered only a few weeks before the clock starts.

2024 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

Everyone’s eyes will always be on the first overall pick, and this year is no different. The Chicago Bears find themselves in an interesting spot. Do they keep Justin Fields and continue to develop what, at times, looked like a promising prospect, or do they trade him and start the rookie contract over with a player like Caleb Williams or Drake Maye? There will be plenty of time to mock draft the various scenarios, but the likely one seems that they’ll move and get a haul for the young gunslinger.

Quarterbacks are always the thrill of the NFL Draft, and this year might be even more thrilling than we’ve seen in recent drafts. There are many talented quarterbacks in the draft, from Jayden Daniels to JJ McCarthy; several teams will land their future franchise quarterback. Draft day trades are always exhilarating, and with the number of teams that need a quarterback, we’re likely to see a few by the time the draft gets underway.

Every year, we seem to get more talented wide receivers, and this year might have one of the best prospects we’ve seen. Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. seems like a surefire to be the next best thing to come to the NFL and is projected to go anywhere around the top five. Look for stud players like Harrison to lead the way in our dynasty rookie ADP. However, other players like Malik Nabers, Rome Odunze, and Brian Thomas have shown flashes of greatness and will likely be first-round picks. Not only that, players like Roman Wilson, Ladd McConkey, and Troy Franklin have emerged as potential WR1s for whatever teams draft them.

Let’s dive into the first of many NFL Mock Drafts to see what the first round could look like.
