With the First Pick: AFC teams land potential steals in latest mock draft, plus J.J. McCarthy worth the hype?

With under two weeks to go until the 2024 NFL Draft, the waiting game continues, agonizingly. I will say, though, I am grateful to the Football Gods that it starts April 25, because it’s the earliest start date since 2020 when we watched Roger Goodell announce draft selections from his basement.

As for this draft-centric newsletter, we started last week, but if you’re new here, I got you covered. We’re rebranding the Pick Six newsletter through the end of April. I, CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Chris Trapasso, will be with you every step of the way. Honored. 

Before I begin with today’s newsletter, this paragraph will be your daily reminder to tell all your buddies and that one friend who’s adamant your team NEEDS to trade up in the first round to sign up for the With the First Pick newsletter. All you have to do is click here and then share this link with them.

… beyond the top 10, we get some fresh prospect-team pairings from Kyle, including Thomas to the Colts, which somehow, I haven’t seen too…
