With the NFL Draft just days away, my 2024 NFL Mock Draft 5.0 is LIVE. My second-to-last mock. Teams’ needs have changed drastically with all the transactions in free agency, impacting how they approach the top prospects in the draft. Some teams that looked to be in the market for certain positions among the 2024 NFL rookie class may be going in a different direction than a few weeks back. Hence, I’ve created the 2024 NFL Draft Needs For All 32 NFL Teams Post-Free Agency – as my guide to align this latest mock draft with what NFL teams will do when they are on the clock. I’ve also conducted a deep dive into the historical trends of each team’s major decision-makers to project how they will approach Round 1 of the NFL Draft. Note that I will also be using my remaining mock drafts following the “Huddle Reports” mock draft contest. The rules are simple: One point for a player selected in Round 1. A player matched to a team is worth two points. Ergo, it’s more important to me in this exercise to focus on player-to-team and players selected in Round 1 generally, not so much on where a player is selected (numerically).
