Now that the first eighteen picks of the 2024 NFL Draft have been set, I wanted to take a second and start to look forward to the upcoming process and start my early projections for several players. I do this every year, the mock draft 0.5 to discuss the first picks that are set and not speculate on the postseason that has yet to be played. This mock draft, because of the partial list, will not include trades – although the first pick is already up on the trading block. Interested teams will be inquiring to the Chicago Bears about what it’s going to take to move that pick so that they can select the future of their franchise. However, it’s just too early to start projecting trades, and more of the focus on this mock draft is projections.
