2024 NFL Draft: With the top 10 players selected, an early estimate of where elite players will go
The draft order for the top 18 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft has been announced, which is creating excitement for the event.
The focus is on whether these teams will stick with their starting quarterbacks or look for a king’s ransom to trade back, acquire a tonne of additional draft capital and bolster their roster at other positions, or even take a quarterback later in the draft as there are some intriguing options.
The Chicago Bears hold the No. 1 pick thanks to last year’s trade with the Carolina Panthers and the Washington Commanders following at No. 2.
For Washington, I believe it to be obvious. In light of former first-round pick Justin Fields’ impressive performance throughout the second half of
Round 1 of the draft will begin on April 25 in Detroit, with Rounds 2 and 3 on April 26 and Rounds 4 through 7 on April 27.
After a 7–10 season, the Chicago Bears may thank a masterful deal with Carolina last spring for this crazy choice.
Even though Justin Fields made progress this season, his franchise potential is still unknown. If Chicago retains him, there will also be a sizable salary in the near future.
The Bears don’t want to be the team that lost out on Patrick Mahomes in 2017 and his potential replacement, Caleb Williams, and they can’t afford to pass on a top prospect.
Williams is a less expensive and perhaps superior alternative than Fields because of his dynamic passing abilities and capacity for off-schedule plays.
The quarterback position is still a concern for the Washington Commanders, who are ranked second.
Sam Howell, who just finished in the top five among NFL passing leaders, started every game for Washington.
His decline matched Washington’s, indicating that, like many others in the organisation, his future with the team is seriously in doubt (coach Ron Rivera was fired on Monday).
Having exceptional throwing qualities and the ability to be a dual threat, Drake Maye would excite Washington more than any prospect since Robert Gryphon III in 2012.
He has exceptional technical ability, runs more quickly than most people realise, and has the potential to be an NFL quarterback of the highest calibre because of his ability to create magic and be a classic pocket thrower.
The outstanding LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels finished the season as the greatest player in the nation.
The whole package that Daniels offers could be advantageous to the New England Patriots, who are looking to upgrade at quarterback.
Daniels has the physicality, poise, and play-making ability to lead the Patriots into a new era of football that most likely won’t involve Bill Belichick. Jayden, no pressure.
Arizona’s starting quarterback, Kyler Murray, is secure. He is fortunate that Arizona is in a strong position to select the top wide receiver prospect in a long time.
Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State stands out in a crowded wide receiver class thanks to his size, speed, and Hall of Fame pedigree.
Despite the Buckeyes’ quarterback since before the Urban Mayer period, MHJ won the Biletnikoff and caught 67 passes for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior.
As a rookie, he will be able to take control of games.
The Los Angeles Chargers want to add Olu Fashanu, who I believe to be the greatest offensive tackle in the draft, to strengthen their offensive line in order to safeguard franchise quarterback Justin Herbert.
Strong and long-legged, Fashanu is projected to go from guard to right tackle, where he will complement the Chargers’ already excellent pass-protector Rashawn Slater on the left side.
The New York Giants may choose to start a quarterback in this situation, but they may hold off on selecting Daniel Jones’ replacement until Day 2.
It’s no secret that ever since Odell Beckham Jr. was traded, they have lacked great outside options. In my opinion, this pick ought to go to a receiver.
Additionally, how about New York returns to the Bayou? Malik Nabers of LSU might be an electric factory in New York because he can play out of the slot, beat defenders deep, and make contested catches.
