With the pro days of all the top QB prospects in the rearview mirror, we’ve officially reached the home stretch of the pre-draft process. The 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit will be here in a few short weeks, and yet there’s still so much unknown about how Round 1 will shake out.
Will the top-four picks be quarterbacks for the first time in NFL history? If so, what order will they come off the board? And how will this impact the other positions, especially at wide receiver and offensive line where there are multiple blue-chip prospects?
Former longtime Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden and NFL Draft insider Ryan Wilson came together recently to try and answer those questions in a joint mock draft. The guys rotated picks and were allowed to trade, which resulted in one team moving up for a QB and another climbing the board for a pass-protector.
