The 2024 NFL draft is setting up to be a wildly entertaining night of possible trades and unpredicted draft board deviations. All it takes is one team to zig for everyone else to zag in a way that wasn’t initially foreseen in hordes of NFL mock drafts that came before it. Granted, there’s also the possibility that teams play everything straight without the drama created by Day 1 trades. We’re going in the complete opposite direction with this mock draft. The Minnesota Vikings have already kick-started the festivities by trading back up into the first round with the Houston Texans. They now own the No. 11 and No. 23 picks in the draft.
