Money has flown around the NFL this week, as a slew of free agency deals and big-name trades have impacted rosters around the league. And in turn, those moves — and in some cases, non-moves — have impacted how the 2024 NFL draft might unfold.
So let’s sort through the shifting team needs, prospect targets and potential strategies of franchises slated to pick in the top 15 of April’s first round, basing our predictions off all the action we’ve seen so far. Keep in mind that plenty of free agent signings still lie ahead and the draft landscape could continue to change, further influencing pick projections.
But for now, here’s a crack at how signings, trades, cuts, departures and decisions to not make certain moves might have an impact on each team picking in Nos. 1-15 — and the prospect that makes the most sense to fill roster holes. (I’ll have a more complete updated mock draft in early April — stay tuned.)
Jump to a pick:
1. CHI | 2. WSH | 3. NE | 4. ARI | 5. LAC
6. NYG | 7. TEN | 8. ATL | 9. CHI | 10. NYJ
11. MIN | 12. DEN | 13. LV | 14. NO | 15. IND
