In our previous 2024 NFL Mock Draft, we predicted the Washington Commanders would move up to #1 and select Caleb Williams. That Mock Draft was released right before Justin Fields was traded to the Steelers. Now that Fields is no longer in Chicago we’ve made more changes to our predictions. Check out our latest NFL Mock Draft below and some of the highlights.
Vikings Move Up for J.J. McCarthy
The Minnesota Vikings have the draft capital and need to find their quarterback of the future. In comes J.J. McCarthy who has shot up draft boards this offseason. Whether you think McCarthy is worthy of a top 5 pick doesn’t matter at this point. Its become clear that many NFL execs are enamored with his ability to run a pro-style offense. Head coach Kevin O’Connell knows how to run an offense and if he likes McCarthy the Vikings will go all in.
Minnesota also brought in Sam Darnold this offseason but I see him more as a backup who can mentor the young QB. The Vikings have weapons and a strong o-line that can protect McCarthy.
Michael Penix Jr. to the Seahawks
Another quarterback to keep an eye on in this year’s draft is Michael Penix Jr. Penix is starting to climb up draft boards with some having him as 5th quarterback taken. The Seahawks seem like a perfect destination for the former Washington QB.
Penix can learn behind Geno Smith and compete with Sam Howell who Seattle traded for this offseason. Although he is not known as a runner Penix is sneaky athletic and can escape pressure if needed.
