MIAMI, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams, North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye and Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. lead my first NFL mock draft of 2024.
The first 28 slots in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft are confirmed, with the Chicago Bears set to pick first. The remaining four slots will be determined by playoff results.
For the purposes of my first mock draft of the year, the remaining slots are projections based on favorites for the conference title games.
The 2024 NFL Draft will be held April 25 to 27 in Detroit. The first round will be held on the 25th, the second and third rounds will be on the 26th, and the fourth through seventh rounds on the 27th.
