Colin Cowherd Releases His Final 2024 NFL Mock Draft
Watch Colin Cowherd release his final NFL mock draft of the off-season with the 2024 NFL Draft just hours away.
Check out the full segment above as Colin discusses all 13 of his selections.
1. Chicago Bears – Caleb Williams, QB, Southern California
"They've got really nice weapons. Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Gerald Everett, Cole Kmet, DeAndre Swift. Ryan Poles is the GM for the future, Caleb is the quarterback for the future -- that was an easy one."
2. Washington Commanders – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
"I'm going Jayden Daniels to Washington; that's what I've been told from a source I trust. I think Drake Maye may have a higher ceiling, but I think they go with a kid who can play now. He's the Lamar Jackson; they've been watching him in Baltimore and now they get their Lamar Jackson. Highly productive, lots of starts, beautiful deep ball, Terry McLaurin, Kliff Kingsbury... He can sort of hide that average o-line for the first couple of years. I think he's terrific and he's ready to play NOW."
3. Minnesota Vikings [**Trade with Patriots**] – Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
"I think the Vikings are moving up and I think they want Drake Maye. The kid has 26 TDs and one pick on third and fourth-downs. He's a little raw but so was Mahomes, so was Lamar, so was Jordan Love, so was Josh Allen. He's never had elite weapons all over the field and he's had to elevate others."
4. Arizona Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
"He's arguably the best player in the Draft. Arizona doesn't have a very good receiving corps. Harrison is MONEY, and as good a college receiver I've seen since maybe a Calvin Johnson."
5. Los Angeles Chargers – JC Latham, RT, Alabama
"I think they want to move down but there's no takers. He's the right tackle of note in this Draft. Plays like a bully, people-mover, people call him 'violent hands'; he's classic Harbaugh."
6. New York Giants – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
"I don't think they want the fourth quarterback, I think they're going to get a star receiver. LSU is a receiver factory, he's a play-maker, he led the nation in big-time catches -- 34 catches of over 20 yards. A lot of these LSU receivers end up being really good and really productive in year one, and the Giants just have a lack of weapons now that Saquon Barkley is gone."
7. Tennessee Titans – Joe Alt, LT, Notre Dame
"He's athletic and played a little defensive end and tight end in high school. I think he's really good. I don't know if he's Trent Williams good, but he's a very, very good left tackle. If Will Levis is going to succeed, he can't do it on his back."
8. Atlanta Falcons – Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
"Grady Jarrett is a good defensive tackle but he's getting up there in age. They are already stacked on offense and are going defense. I like Atlanta a lot and think they win their division. They'll be one of the higher scoring offenses in the NFL, but to score you need the ball and to get the ball you gotta make stops, and they'll get a big guy inside."
9. Chicago Bears – Dallas Turner, OLB, Alabama
"Bears had the fewest sacks in the league, I think they go with Dallas Turner. He's consistent and Alabama edge rushers, Will Anderson, they do well in the NFL. I think the Bears are more than talented on offense and I think Matt Eberflus will pound on the table and say 'you gotta give me a complementary edge rusher!'"
10. New York Jets – Taliese Fuaga, RT, Oregon State
"This is the smart decision. He's the highest-graded run-blocker. I don't want to hear about Brock Bowers, he's a tight end. History is rough on tight ends in the first round -- even Kyle Pitts was a lock and it hasn't worked out so far. They went out and got two old tackles, go out and get a young one. Go get a bedrock right tackle."
11. New England Patriots [**Trade with Vikings**] – Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
"A grown-up, productive, and ready to play. He got better every with Michael Penix. New England has a million needs. They need draft capital and weapons, and I'd argue that is almost more valuable than a quarterback right now. I think they're going to sit and wait to see who Washington takes, and if they take the quarterback they have higher graded, I think New England moves down and gets a wide receiver. I don't love wide receivers in the first round but this kid is really good."
12. Denver Broncos – JJ McCarthy, QB, Michigan
"I think the Broncos would trade back if they could, but if JJ McCarthy falls to them I think Sean Payton sees a guy that has got mobility, won a lot of games, had an NFL coach in college, so he's clearly coachable and used to hard coaching. I don't love JJ McCarthy, but I think it's too rich to draft Bo Nix or Michael Penix. There's a lot of rumors that teams are moving up to get him, but I think he'll be drafted at 12, which is much more appropriate for his skills."
13. Las Vegas Raiders – Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LT, Penn State
"Tom Telesco's history as a GM is not big swings. Fashanu is a really good pass protector. Doesn't play with enough physicality, maybe Antonio Pierce brings that out of him. I don't ever have a problem taking a tackle in the first round. Outside of center, the safest position to take in the first round in the last 20 drafts is tackle."
