Final 2024 NFL Mock Draft

We are less than 24 hours away from the 2024 NFL Draft.

While the first pick is all but certain, the intrigue starts with the second pick. The Commanders are sure to draft a quarterback, but which one?

The draft is likely to start QB-QB-QB, and Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort has stated that Arizona won't trade out of the fourth pick, if they do, until the team is on the clock.

Will the Vikings (or another team) trade up for the fourth quarterback? Will the draft start with four consecutive quarterbacks for the first time in draft history?

Offensive prospects (55) outnumbered their defensive counterparts (45) in my final top 100 NFL Draft big board, and that trend continues in this mock.

In fact, the disparity is even more pronounced in this first-round mock — 21 offensive prospects compared to 11 defensive prospects. Here is the breakdown by offensive position group:

There are two projected trades in this mock:
