2024 NFL Mock Draft: Latest Predictions After This Year's Combine
The NFL Combine has concluded, and several players increased their stock in a big way. But how could those performances in Indianapolis change where players land in the draft?
Here is our updated 2024 mock draft now that all the workouts are finished.
Post-Combine 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT
1. Chicago Bears
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 215 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Caleb Williams didn't test at the NFL Combine, and he didn't provide his medical information either. And yet, none of it matters because everyone knows that Williams will be the No. 1 pick. He is exactly the quarterback the Chicago Bears have needed for decades and should help turn the franchise around in Year 1.
2. Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 210 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: Like Williams, Jayden Daniels didn't test at the NFL Combine either. There was no reason to do so because his stock couldn't get much higher. In this mock, Daniels goes ahead of Drake Maye as the Washington Commanders search for a quarterback who can make plays with his arm and legs.
3. New England Patriots
Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 230 pounds
Class: RS Sophomore
Fit: Trading down to No. 6 or 8 was considered in this mock, but the New England Patriots decided to stay at No. 3 and pick their next franchise quarterback. Drake Maye's stock has lost some steam since October, but he is still a quality quarterback and a massive upgrade for the Patriots.
4. Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 205 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: There might not be a better fit in the draft than Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Arizona Cardinals. Kyler Murray needs a receiver who can stretch the field on the outside and win 50/50 balls. The Cardinals have plenty of slot receivers and an emerging star at tight end in Trey McBride. They need the alpha receiver who can win every 1-on-1 matchup. With Harrison in the fold, Arizona's offense finally can take off.
5. Los Angeles Chargers
Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 321 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Of all the picks inside the top 10, this one is the most difficult to figure out. The Los Angeles Chargers could go in several different directions, and the best option might be to grab an elite weapon for Justin Herbert. Instead, Jim Harbaugh picks the most decorated offensive lineman in the class to build the trenches. Rashawn Slater might have to move to right tackle or guard, but picking Joe Alt would instantly upgrade the Chargers' offensive line and make them a more physical team.
6. New York Giants
Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 200 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: In nearly any other draft class, Malik Nabers would be the first receiver drafted and a lock to be a top-five pick. But because of Harrison Jr., he “slides” to No. 6. It’s very reminiscent of when Julio Jones fell to No. 6 in the 2011 NFL Draft because A.J. Green was selected at No. 4 by the Bengals.
The New York Giants need a No. 1 receiver, and Nabers can fill that role immediately. And the last time the Giants took a star receiver from LSU, it worked out well.
7. Tennessee Titans
Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 212 pounds
Class: Sophomore
Fit: This has been a spot where an offensive lineman has been mocked frequently, but the Tennessee Titans need a No. 1 receiver for Will Levis. There are quality offensive linemen who can't be found later in the draft, but few players are as safe as Rome Odunze. He checked every single box at the NFL Combine and could be Brian Callahan's version of Ja'Marr Chase in Tennesee.
8. Atlanta Falcons
Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 247 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Let's assume the Atlanta Falcons either sign Kirk Cousins in free agency or acquire Justin Fields via trade for the purpose of this mock draft. That allows them to take the best defensive player on the board, who happens to be Dallas Turner from Alabama. Turner lit up the NFL Combine, running a 4.46-second 40-yard dash at 247 pounds. He has incredibly long arms and the tools to be an elite edge rusher in the NFL.

9. Chicago Bears
Jared Verse, Edge, Florida State
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 254 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Byron Murphy II and Chop Robinson were considered for this pick, but the Bears opt for one of the most complete players in this class. Jared Verse performed excellently at the NFL Combine, running a 4.58-second 40-yard dash at 254 pounds. He’s a fantastic run defender and would make for a great pairing with Montez Sweat.
10. New York Jets
Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 312 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The New York Jets have to get more offensive line help this offseason after releasing multiple starters ahead of free agency. Olu Fashanu is still a work in progress, but he would be a massive upgrade at left tackle for New York. Pairing him and Alijah Vera-Tucker for the next several seasons sounds like a great long-term plan.
11. Minnesota Vikings
J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 219 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Minnesota Vikings need a quarterback, but will they be able to trade up inside the top five to select a Williams, Daniels or Maye? The answer to that question is probably a no. However, J.J. McCarthy’s stock continues to rise after a strong combine. It’s fair to wonder if the Vikings would need to trade up to acquire him.
12. Denver Broncos
Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 243 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: You can make a strong case that Brock Bowers is one of the top six players in the draft, but the lack of positional value and his below-average size could cause him to drop. Bowers landing in Denver with Sean Payton would be a fantastic fit. He can move around the formation and be a 1,000-yard receiver immediately for the Broncos.
13. Las Vegas Raiders
Byron Murphy, IDL, Texas
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 297 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The most impressive defensive lineman at the NFL Combine was Byron Murphy II from Texas. Murphy weighed 297 pounds and ran a 4.87-second 40-yard dash. His test numbers were off the charts, but his performance in the positional drills stood out. The Las Vegas Raiders want to improve the spine of their defense, and Murphy would be a big-time addition to their defensive line.
14. New Orleans Saints
Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 254
Class: Junior
Fit: One of the most impressive players during the NFL Combine was Chop Robinson. Weighing in at 254 pounds, Robinson ran a blazing 4.48-second 40-yard dash with a 1.54 10-yard split. His 10-yard split is the third-fastest ever for an edge rusher over 250 pounds. Plus, he will still be just 20 years old by the time he is drafted. The New Orleans Saints need more pass-rush help, and Robinson could be a massive steal at No. 14.
15. Indianapolis Colts
Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 189 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The odds of Terrion Arnold falling to No. 15 in the actual NFL draft are next to zero. He is the best cornerback prospect in the class and can play in the slot and outside. But because of how this mock fell, he is available to Chris Ballard and the Indianapolis Colts. They have needed cornerback help for some time, and Arnold would be a dream selection here in Round 1.
16. Seattle Seahawks
Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 265 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: Laiatu Latu gets to stay on the West Coast as the Seattle Seahawks grab arguably the best pure pass rusher in the NFL Draft. Latu had a fantastic combine performance, but his medicals will ultimately decide where he gets picked. But No. 16 feels about right for the most dynamic pass rusher in the country.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars
Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 195 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: Quinyon Mitchell has dramatically raised his stock this offseason and continued to do so at the NFL Combine. Running a 4.33-second 40-yard dash, Mitchell established himself as one of the top defensive players in this draft. But with several pass rushers drafted ahead of him in this mock, Mitchell falls to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 17.
18. Cincinnati Bengals
Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 324 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Cincinnati Bengals are looking for a long-term answer at right tackle, with Jonah Williams expected to hit free agency. Taliese Fuaga would be the dream pick for Cincinnati. Fuaga has some “nasty” to his game and would bring more physicality to the Bengals' offense.
19. Los Angeles Rams
JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 342 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Los Angeles Rams have one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses, but they need to add more quality offensive linemen. JC Latham could be a potential starter at right tackle, but his best spot might be inside at guard. Regardless, Latham is a lock to be a top-20 pick and would be a massive upgrade for Los Angeles.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 173 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Pittsburgh Steelers hit gold on Joey Porter Jr. during the 2023 NFL Draft, but they need another cornerback opposite him. Nate Wiggins ran an incredible 40-yard dash (4.28 seconds) at the NFL Combine before injuring his hip. He should be 100 percent healthy by his Pro Day and would be a Day 1 starter for Pittsburgh.
21. Miami Dolphins
Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 334 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Connor Williams is set to become a free agent, and it seems unlikely he will return after suffering another knee injury. Jackson Powers-Johnson is the best pure center in the class and would give Miami a much-needed upgrade on the interior of its offensive line.
22. Philadelphia Eagles
Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 207 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Philadelphia Eagles must get younger and more athletic in their secondary this offseason. While Cooper DeJean could not work out at the NFL Combine, he remains a fantastic fit for the Eagles. DeJean can play outside cornerback and in the slot, precisely what Philadelphia needs. If he were fully healthy, he would be a lock top-15 pick in the draft. But the Eagles get a steal on a player who could instantly be their best secondary player.
23. Houston Texans
Jer'Zhan Newton, IDL, Illinois
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 295 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Jer’Zhan Newton didn't work out at the NFL Combine due to a foot injury, but he should still be a lock first-round pick. He is an up-the-field pass rusher that would make Houston's defensive line even more dynamic.
24. Dallas Cowboys
Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 340 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: With the news breaking during the NFL Combine that Tyron Smith and the Dallas Cowboys are expected to go their separate ways, offensive tackle becomes an even more significant need for Dallas. Amarius Mims has only eight career starts, but he has incredible size, power and athleticism. Mims could be a long-term replacement for Smith at left tackle.
25. Green Bay Packers
Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 317 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Green Bay Packers need more help on the offensive line, and Troy Fautanu seems like a perfect fit. He could play either tackle spot, but his best spot might be at guard in the NFL.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Graham Barton, OL, Duke
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 313 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: One of the NFL’s worst-kept secrets is that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to upgrade the interior of their offensive line. Graham Barton is arguably the best interior offensive line prospect in this class despite spending most of his career at left tackle. Barton could be a Day 1 starter at center for Tampa Bay.
27. Arizona Cardinals
Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 322 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Tyler Guyton was considered for the Cowboys at No. 24, but he slides down to No. 27. With Paris Johnson Jr. expected to slide to left tackle, that would allow Guyton to start right away on the right side. Guyton needs a lot of work and refinement, but his size and athleticism are first-round worthy.
28. Buffalo Bills
Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 209 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: This would be a dream come true for the Buffalo Bills at No. 28. Buffalo needs an outside receiver who can stretch the field and replace Gabriel Davis in its offense. Brian Thomas Jr. has excellent size and production, but it is unlikely he will fall this far in Round 1.
29. Detroit Lions
Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 296 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: The Detroit Lions need to add more big bodies to their defensive line, and Darius Robinson couldn't fit any better. While he didn't post gaudy sack totals at Missouri, he can play up and down the defensive line and loves contact.
30. Baltimore Ravens
Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Height: 5-foot-11
Weight: 165 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: The Baltimore Ravens added a smaller receiver in Zay Flowers during the 2023 NFL Draft, but they do it again here with Xavier Worthy. After running a record-breaking 4.21-second 40-yard dash, Worthy should be a first-round pick. But finding a perfect landing spot for him is tough. The Ravens are always looking for more speed, and Worthy certainly has that.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 325 pounds
Class: Senior
Fit: There isn’t a better fit for Jordan Morgan than the San Francisco 49ers. Kyle Shanahan’s offense needs athletic offensive linemen, and Morgan certainly fits the mold. He could play either tackle spot for San Francisco, but his best position in the NFL might be at guard.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 205 pounds
Class: Junior
Fit: Adonai Mitchell is exactly what the Kansas City Chiefs need in their offense, and he would pair well with Rashee Rice. It wouldn't be a shock to see him go much higher than this in the NFL Draft after running a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
