The Super Bowl is over. The 2024 NFL Draft is officially on the clock. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in overtime to clinch their third championship in five years. Patrick Mahomes reminded the rest of the NFL that he sets the standard every other team is chasing. As we turn our attention to the NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears’ decision at quarterback will define the top of the order. The Bears own the No. 1 pick thanks to the trade they made a year ago with the Carolina Panthers. Now Chicago has a decision to make at the most important position in the sport: stick with QB Justin Fields, or draft the consensus top top signal caller in the clas in Caleb Williams. Chicago could get another massive haul in a trade down, but it’s so hard to pass up on a potential franchise quarterback. The Bears’ decision kicks off a fascinating first round that’s loaded with potential storylines. With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror, let’s dive into the 2024 NFL Draft with a new mock draft. The draft begins on April 25. This is how we would project the first round right now. We’ll go through every pick after the table.
