NFL MOCK DRAFT: A Gold 急ぐ for quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy could see teams 貿易（する） up... as our writers guess who the first ten 選択s in this year's 草案 will be

• e-mail

The 2024 NFL 草案 is only a few weeks away and while the 最高の，を越す 全体にわたる 選ぶ seems to be locked in, there are questions surrounding the 残り／休憩（する） of the class.

While it's 推定する／予想するd for USC quarterback Caleb Williams to be taken first 全体にわたる by the Chicago 耐えるs, there's still plenty of 最高の，を越す talent at that position in this 草案.

So 自然に, with that much good talent, there could be a gold 急ぐ for quarterbacks in this class - with 指名するs like Jayden Daniels, J.J. McCarthy, and Drake Maye all up for 得る，とらえるs.

Last year, four of our sportswriters gave their 割れ目 at who they thought would be the first ten 指名するs taken off the board. We were horribly wrong, so why not try it again?

Here's the thoughts of our MailSport writers on who is going within the first ten 選ぶs of this year's 草案.

Alex Raskin

USC quarterback Caleb Williams

1) Chicago 耐えるs (from Carolina): Caleb Williams (QB, USC)

2) Washington 指揮官s: Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU)

3) New England 愛国者s: J.J. McCarthy (QB, Michigan)

4) Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR, Ohio 明言する／公表する)

5) Los Angeles Chargers: Joe Alt (OT, Notre Dame)

6) New York 巨大（な）s: Drake Maye (QB, North Carolina)

7) Tennessee 巨人s: Malik Nabers (WR, LSU)

8) Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner (OLB, Alabama)

9) Chicago 耐えるs: Rome Odunze (WR, Washington)

10) New York Jets: Olu Fashanu, (OT, Penn 明言する／公表する)

With the Chicago 耐えるs all but 保証（人）d to take USC quarterback Caleb Williams first 全体にわたる, the 2024 NFL 草案 won’t really begin until the second 選ぶ, when the Washington 指揮官s will have a trio of quarterbacks to consider.

North Carolina’s Drake Maye had been considered a favorite to go second 全体にわたる, but the 連合させる and strong プロの／賛成の days by LSU’s Jayden Daniels and Michigan’s JJ McCarthy have clouded the 指揮官s’ 決定／判定勝ち（する）.

Daniels’ 辛勝する／優位 over McCarthy and Maye could come 負かす／撃墜する to his 正確. Not only did the 統治するing Heisman 勝利者 完全にする a whopping 72.2 パーセント of his passes in 2023, but he’s also credited with proper ball placement, which 許すs receivers to 蓄積する yards after the catch.

‘Jayden Daniels, I think that skillset that he has gives me the most hope,’ former Pittsburgh Steelers running 支援する and scout Merril Hoge told DailyMail.com.

McCarthy, one of the 草案’s risers, has an excellent change to leapfrog Maye in New England, where the 国家の 支持する／優勝者 could follow in the footsteps of another Wolverine, Tom Brady. Maye, 一方／合間, has drawn some 批評 for his ball placement and could be better served to play as a backup behind someone like the New York 巨大（な）s’ Daniel Jones before becoming an NFL starter.

Jayden Daniels could be selected second 全体にわたる by the Washington 指揮官s

One of the best fits in the 2024 草案 comes at No. 4, where the Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs can 追加する エリート wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from Ohio 明言する／公表する. Thanks to the presence of Kyler Murray, Arizona has no need for a quarterback, and can instead 焦点（を合わせる） on 改善するing an 罪／違反 an d 弁護 that 階級d 24th and 31st, それぞれ.

From here, things get far murkier. The Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee 巨人s and New York Jets could all use a 取り組む, such as Notre Dame’s Joe Alt or Penn 明言する／公表する’s Olu Fashanu. But the 誘惑 to 追加する エリート talents at wide receiver, such as Washington’s Rome Udenze or LSU’s Malik Nabers, could be too much to ignore.

支払う／賃金 particular attention to Alabama 辛勝する／優位 rusher Dallas Turner, who will likely be the first 防御の player taken. Given the 豊富 of quarterbacks, receivers and 不快な／攻撃 取り組むs 頂上に the 草案, Turner could easily slide 負かす／撃墜する to No. 8, where the new-look Falcons are hoping to 改善する.

The 耐えるs can give Williams a new 武器 at No. 9 by either taking a receiver, such as Udenze, or Georgia tight end Brock Bowers.

Perhaps no team is better 据えるd to 演説（する）／住所 a 圧力（をかける）ing need as the New York Jets, who should be able to 支える their 不快な／攻撃 line with Fashanu or Oregon 明言する／公表する left 取り組む Taliese Fuaga. Bowers is also a 可能性 for the Jets, as is Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold.

Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy

1) Chicago 耐えるs (from Carolina): Caleb Williams (QB, USC)

2) Washington 指揮官s: Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU)

3) Minnesota Vikings (from New England 愛国者s): J.J. McCarthy (QB, Michigan)

4) Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs: Marvin Harrison Jr (WR, Ohio 明言する／公表する)

5) Los Angeles Chargers: Joe Alt (OT, Notre Dame)

6) New York 巨大（な）s: Malik Nabers (WR, LSU)

7) Denver Broncos (from Tennessee 巨人s): Drake Maye (QB, North Carolina )

8) Atlanta Falcons: Rome Odunze (WR, Washington)

9) Chicago 耐えるs: Dallas Turner (OLB, Alabama)

10) New York Jets: Olu Fashanu (OL, Penn 明言する／公表する)

Once again, use this mock 草案 as an 演習 if a team that is really hungry for a quarterback decides to move up in the 草案 - or in this 事例／患者, two teams that are really hungry for a quarterback.?

The New England 愛国者s need a number of things. Yes, they need a quarterback, but they also need pass catchers and 不快な／攻撃 line help. Sticking a 新人 in as a day-one starter without those latter two things might be a bad idea.

ESPN's Mina Kimes floated a hypothetical 貿易（する）?where the Vikings give the 愛国者s 選ぶs 11 and 23 in this 草案 同様に as 多重の 未来 草案 選ぶs to move up to number 3. The 愛国者s have been 声の about their 賞賛 for Jayden Daniels in the lead up to this 草案 過程.?If Daniels is gone and the Vikings come calling with this 申し込む／申し出, they should 受託する and they can 草案 a good wideout or 不快な／攻撃 lineman with those other two 選ぶs.?

加える, a player like Bo 拒む，否認する or Michael Penix Jr. could still be around when the 愛国者s 選ぶ again with the second 選ぶ of the second 一連の会議、交渉／完成する. I could even see them using either 11 or 23 to move 支援する into the 最高の，を越す-10 to 草案 a wideout, but that's a bit too 複雑にするd.?

Either way, the Vikings move up to take the most overhyped QB prospect in this class in J.J. McCarthy. He's been 賞賛するd a lot for a passer that 普通の／平均（する）d under 200 yards a game, but 明らかに there's a number of intangibles he 所有する that is 製図／抽選 attention to him.

The Denver Broncos need for a quarterback could 要求する them to 貿易（する） up for Drake Maye

The 枢機けい／主要なs need a wideout, so they get the best in the 草案 in Marvin Harrison Jr. The Chargers need an 不快な／攻撃 取り組む, so they get the best in the 草案 in Joe Alt.?

Then we enter a weird 状況／情勢 with the 巨大（な）s: they could take Drake Maye, but they also need pass catchers and Daniel Jones' 契約 is too big to move on from or 削減（する） 権利 now. 草案ing Malik Nabers will give them some help in the wideout department, so I think they'll take him there.

That leaves the Denver Broncos - who don't have a starter after they 削減（する） Russell Wilson. They'll most assuredly be looking to 貿易（する） up and Tennessee could be a perfect 貿易（する） partner. Denver will have to give up the 12th 全体にわたる 選ぶ and likely at least a second 加える more 草案 補償（金）, but they'll 支払う／賃金 that to take Drake Maye.

Atlanta takes Odunze to give Kirk Cousins more 選択s to catch passes, the 耐えるs luck into getting a 最高の，を越す 辛勝する／優位 rusher in Dallas Turner, and the Jets get Aaron Rodgers some pass 封鎖するing help with Olu Fashanu from Penn 明言する／公表する to 一連の会議、交渉／完成する out the 最高の，を越す-10.

Alabama 辛勝する／優位 rusher Dallas Turner

1) Chicago 耐えるs (from Carolina): Caleb Williams (QB, USC)

2) Washington 指揮官s: Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU)

3) New England 愛国者s: Drake Maye (QB, North Carolina)

4) Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs: Marvin Harrison Jr (WR, Ohio 明言する／公表する)

5) Minnesota Vikings (from Los Angeles Chargers): J.J. McCarthy (QB, Michigan)

6) New York 巨大（な）s: Malik Nabers (WR, LSU)

7) Tennessee 巨人s: Joe Alt (OT, Notre Dame)

8) Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner (OLB, Alabama)

9) Chicago 耐えるs: Rome Odunze (WR, Washington)

10) New York Jets: Brock Bowers (TE, Georgia)

There's not a lot of mystery around the first 選ぶ this year. Caleb Williams has been ワインd and dined (literally) by Chicago and, with Justin Fields out of the picture, they must take the best quarterback in this class. Williams is that guy.

Things then start to get 利益／興味ing at No. 2. There's been some 憶測 that J.J. McCarthy could 衝突，墜落 the 最高の，を越す three but the 指揮官s' choice really boils 負かす／撃墜する to Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye.

Daniels has proven himself to be a strong passer and rusher and, while they need to do a lot of work to give him a dangerous 罪／違反, I think he ends up with the 指揮官s. That means Maye goes to the 愛国者s to lead the 地位，任命する-法案 Belichick 時代 and finally be Tom Brady's 交替／補充 after they got burnt by Mac Jones.

Many have 推測するd whether it would be the Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs who 貿易（する） 選ぶs with the Vikings so Minnesota can land McCarthy. But it surely makes sense for them to keep 持つ／拘留する of this 選ぶ and land Marvin Harrison Jr. The guy is a stud and will 即時に transform Arizona's receiver room, which is 現在／一般に threadbare.

Instead of 貿易（する）ing with the 枢機けい／主要なs, I think the Vikings will 現実に use their two first-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 選ぶs (No. 11 and the No. 23 they got from the Texans last month) to 貿易（する） with the Chargers and move up to No. 5.

Kirk Cousins is gone and, while they still have arguably the best receiver in the NFL in Justin Jefferson, they need a new long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 quarterback. McCarthy 証明するd himself to be a winne r at Michigan, he'll have plenty of 武器s in Minnesota and a QB-friendly 長，率いる coach in Kevin O'Connell.

LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers could be on the レーダ of the New York 巨大（な）s

After the 大混乱 of 選ぶs two, three, four and five, I think the next three seem pretty obvious.

Malik Nabers is 長，率いるing to New York to 即時に transform a 巨大（な）s 罪／違反 that was 大部分は terrible l last season. The 巨人s will get much-needed help on their 不快な／攻撃 line thanks to Joe Alt and the Falcons will land the best 防御の player in the class in the form of Alabama 辛勝する／優位 Dallas Turner.

After taking Williams with the first 選ぶ, the 耐えるs are 支援する on the clock at No. 9 and - with Rome Odunze still on the board - it makes sense to 手渡す their new quarterback a welcome gift. Keenan Allen may have arrived but time is not on his 味方する. By 草案ing Odunze, the 耐えるs will have two long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 不快な／攻撃 星／主役にするs on their roster.

一連の会議、交渉／完成するing out the 最高の，を越す 10 is Brock Bowers to the Jets. He is the standout tight end in this class and, if last season 証明するd anything, New York's 罪／違反 is light on players who can catch the ball - aside from Garrett Wilson.

Ohio 明言する／公表する wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr

1) Chicago 耐えるs (from Carolina):?Caleb Williams (QB, USC)

2) Washington 指揮官s:?Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU)

3) Minnesota Vikings (from New England 愛国者s): Drake Maye (QB, North Carolina)

4) Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs:?Marvin Harrison Jr (WR, Ohio 明言する／公表する)

5) New England 愛国者s (from Los Angeles Chargers): J.J. McCarthy (QB, Michigan)

6) New York 巨大（な）s:?Malik Nabers (WR, LSU)

7) Tennessee 巨人s:?Joe Alt (OT, Notre Dame)

8) Atlanta Falcons:?Rome Odunze (WR, Washington)

9) Chicago 耐えるs:?Olu Fashanu (OL, Penn 明言する／公表する)

10) New York Jets: Brock Bowers (TE, Georgia)

The fit for Caleb Williams with the 指揮官s would be immaculate, and I 審議d them 貿易（する）ing up one slot with a new 長，率いる coach and 所有権 to make a splashy move to land the 地元の kid.?

Unless Williams 証明するs to be the next Patrick Mahomes, not even the next Russell Wilson would be 十分な, Washington needs as many 資産s as possible and stays put. The 指揮官s get a phenomenal なぐさみ prize in Jayden Daniels. Then things get spicy.?

Minnesota has teased too ひどく its 願望（する） to land a 最高の，を越す quarterback in the 草案 not to 貿易（する） up. The Vikings still have arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL in Justin Jefferson. So they 貿易（する） up to No 3 and get Drake Maye.?

貿易（する）ing 支援する and getting more 資産s has been the 愛国者s' 草案 戦略 for years, until they offload some to 伸び（る） a 価値のある piece, like they will at No 5.?

The Arizona 枢機けい／主要なs are on an island in the 最高の，を越す 10. They do not need a quarterback and will just take the best player left on the board, and maybe the best player 全体にわたる in the 草案 in Marvin Harrison Jr.?

New England does have a major need at quarterback. While waiting until later in the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する to offload いっそう少なく 資本／首都 sounds nice, passing on McCarthy, with other teams ぼんやり現れるing would be too much. They send the 選ぶ they just acquired to the Chargers, who will 企て，努力，提案 their time to select anyone.??

The 巨大（な）s wish they could take a quarterback so 不正に. Daniel Jones is not the answer, but his 契約 will be too 堅い to move around. Here comes a 5-12 season!?

Notre Dame 不快な／攻撃 取り組む Joe Alt is 見解（をとる）d as the best lineman in this year's NFL 草案

Even with New York selecting LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers here, Jones has to get him the ball for him to be 効果的な in year No 1.?

The 巨人s need help in several 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs, and they take a foundational piece that is not flashy in Notre Dame OT Joe Alt.?Tennessee could be another team that 貿易（する）s 支援する, with the Denver Broncos かもしれない continuing the run on quarterback's with Oregon's Bo 拒む，否認する. The 巨人s stay put however.?

Atlanta wants to give new quarterback Kirk Cousins an 即座の chance to make a プレーオフ run. Taking Odunze 完全にするs the 最高の，を越す trio of wide receivers by a country mile in the 草案.??

The 耐えるs were hoping Odunze would 落ちる to them at No 9, but the Falcons passed on Dallas Turner, who 落ちるs out of the 最高の，を越す 10.?Instead of giving Williams someone to catch the ball, the 耐えるs need all the 不快な／攻撃 line help they can get and take the best one 利用できる in Olu Fashanu.?

To 一連の会議、交渉／完成する out the 最高の，を越す 10 are Aaron Rodgers and pals, sorry, I mean the New York Jets. There is no team in the NFL under its 現在の structure with a shorter window to 勝利，勝つ with it than the Jets.?

Instead of taking an 不快な／攻撃 lineman, which is the team's biggest team, they swing big to give Rodgers another 武器 in the passing game in Brock Bowers.?Bowers is the only tight end in the 草案 with Travis Kelce-esque 可能性のある. And I don't mean the ability to date Taylor Swift.??
