2024 Mock Draft 5.0 will feature zero trades and will cover the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. In previous mock drafts, I covered only the first round, and they all involved some type of trade, which centered around the several teams that need a QB.
You can check out all of the previous mock drafts I have linked below.
Below is a round-by-round breakdown of how each player was drafted.
In my current NFL Mock Draft 5.0, there are 7 total QBs being drafted in the first three rounds, with 5 in round one. There will be zero RBs drafted in the first 50 picks. There are 18 WRs that will be drafted in the first three rounds, which should drive urgency even in a deep WR class—probably the deepest we have ever seen. The offensive line class, starting with the OTs, is very deep, and there is a lot of Day Two and Three talent for the interior offensive line.

The 1st Round Mock Draft 5.0
1). Chicago Bears
The Pick: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Team Needs: QB, EDGE, WR
Summary: Chicago is poised to select a franchise quarterback after trading away Justin Fields, likely targeting Caleb Williams. They also need to add a high-impact edge rusher and another quality receiver to round out their offensive weapons.
2). Washington Commanders
The Pick: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Team Needs: QB, EDGE, OT
Summary: With key departures on defense and offense, Washington is looking to draft a new quarterback and strengthen the edge of its defense.
3). New England Patriots

Team Needs: QB, WR, OT
Summary: New England is expected to select a new quarterback. They also need a top-flight receiver and improvements on the offensive line. Will they draft J.J. McCarthy, Jayden Daniels, or Drake Maye? They are a prime tradeback candidate as well.
4). Arizona Cardinals
The Pick: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Team Needs: WR, LB, CB
Summary: Arizona has needs at WR and will likely draft one of the top three available if they remain at 4 overall. They will also look to add LB and CB in the draft. The Cardinals are also a prime trade-back candidate.
5). Los Angeles Chargers
The Pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Team Needs: WR, DI, LB
Summary: After significant departures, the Chargers must replenish their receiver corps and strengthen their defensive line and linebacker groups. Most Chargers fans will implode if they pass on a WR. The Chargers are a prime trade-back candidate.
6). New York Giants
The Pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Team Needs: WR, TE, S
Summary: The Giants are rumored to have an interest in drafting a QB if one falls, but they also need an elite WR and will be able to draft one if they do not trade out. J.J. McCarthy and Drake Maye are the two QBs many believe could land with the Giants if they fall.
7). Tennessee Titans
The Pick: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Team Needs: OT, DL, TE
Summary: The Titans will look to build around second-year quarterback Will Levis by adding an elite left tackle. They have needs on the defensive line and could add a TE in the later rounds. Brock Bowers could be an option. If a quarterback falls, the Titans could be a trade-back candidate.
8). Atlanta Falcons
The Pick: Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama
Team Needs: EDGE, CB, WR
Summary: Atlanta is well-positioned to pick a premier edge rusher or cornerback and needs additional talent at wide receiver to complete their offense. The Falcons have several needs to fill, so once again, if they are presented with additional draft capital to move back, they should consider it.
9). Chicago Bears
The Pick: Jared Verse, Edge, Florida State
Team Needs: QB, EDGE, WR
Summary: With their second pick in the first round, the Bears could further bolster their defense with an edge rusher or add another talented receiver to complement their new quarterback. Going best available edge rusher for scheme fit might not be advisable here. Trading back feels like the best option.
10). New York Jets
The Pick: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Team Needs: WR, TE, S
Summary: The Jets could trade back or stay in this spot. They will look to draft an elite tackle, or they can get a win-now player like Brock Bowers. They need to add secondary help eventually.
11). Minnesota Vikings
The Pick: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Team Needs: QB, G, CB

The likely scenario is that they must trade up to avoid the Broncos and Raiders trying to advance. They have needs on the offensive line and in their secondary to address.
12). Denver Broncos
The Pick: Laiatu Latu, Edge, UCLA
Team Needs: QB, DL, TE

13). Las Vegas Raiders
The Pick: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
Team Needs: QB, OL, DI
Summary: The Raiders are in a similar position to the Vikings and Broncos. They need a quarterback, but they must pay big-time to move up. In this scenario, they might get lucky; if not, they can fill needs on the offensive and defensive lines.
14). New Orleans Saints
The Pick: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
Team Needs: OL, DL, CB
Summary: The Saints will look to improve the offensive and defensive line, as well as their secondary in the draft. They could use another WR.
