Watch Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt release his most recent NFL mock draft of the off-season with the 2024 NFL Draft just over one month away.
Klatt’s has six quarterbacks being selected in the first round – Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, JJ McCarthy, and Michael Penix Jr. In that order. Six wide receivers – Marvin Harrison Jr., Rome Odunze, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Keon Coleman, and Troy Franklin. And seven tackles – Joe Alt, Olu Fashanu, Taliese Fuaga, JC Latham, Amarius Mims, Tyler Guyton, and Jordan Morgan.
Georgia’s Brock Bowers was the first and only tight end selected in Klatt’s mock draft at no 5., and Alabama defensive end Dallas Turner was Klatt’s first defensive player off the board at no. 8.
Overall, Alabama had the most first-round picks in Klatt’s mock draft with four.
Klatt believes there will be a big trade in the first round, with the Minnesota Vikings jumping from no. 11 to no. 5 in a swap with the Chargers to draft McCarthy out of Michigan, and then the Chargers drafting the All-American Bowers.
One of the most surprising picks of Klatt's mock draft was the Dolphins taking Penix Jr. at 21 despite a career year from Tua Tagovailoa, giving the Dolphins insurance, and most importantly leverage, in the event of a possible standoff with Tagovailoa over a new deal, as the fourth-year player is still without a contract extension going into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal.
