2024 NFL Mock Draft
1. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams (QB – USC)
Whether you are a fan of Williams or one of the other top quarterback options in this year’s class, it’s safe to say that the Justin Fields Era is coming to an end in Chicago. To me, the answer is clear. Caleb Williams brings his impressive skillset to Chicago and, with it, the most tantalizing upside the city has seen since, well, Justin Fields.

6. TRADE – Atlanta Falcons – J.J McCarthy (QB – Michigan)
- Falcons trade: Pick Nos. 8 and 79, plus a conditional 2025 fifth-rounder
- Giants trade: Pick No. 6
The Giants fail to make a move into the top three picks and decide to accrue as many assets as they can, adding a pick in the third round and a future asset. The Falcons grab their new franchise quarterback in McCarthy. The addition of offensive coordinator Zac Robinson bodes well for McCarthy’s development in the NFL. Atlanta keeps its second and a third-rounder to add a pass catcher to fit Robinson’s scheme.

15. Indianapolis Colts: Brock Bowers (TE – Georgia)
To be clear, I don’t think Bowers has any business making it to No. 15. There are a few teams who may pull the trigger on the generational tight end prospect, but navigating need and positional value are at play here for many teams. The Colts benefit in this case and give second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson an elite option to complement wide receivers Michael Pittman (if they keep him) and Josh Downs.
