Eagles find a long-term solution at CB in mock draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The NFL is taking over Indianapolis this week for the annual Scouting Combine, which is just one stop along the way to the 2024 NFL Draft.
Plenty will change over the next couple of months but mock drafts are fun. So it’s time to take a look at a full first-round mock draft.
As a reminder, the Eagles have pick No. 22, although Howie Roseman is never shy about making a trade.
1. Bears: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
It seems like this is the way it’s going to go. The Bears have the No. 1 pick but a huge decision to make because they already have Justin Fields. I think I’m higher on Fields than most. You can win with that guy with a better structure around him. But if the Bears feel like Williams is a can’t-miss then they have to go for it. This will then result in a trade of Fields.
2. Commanders: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
If the Bears aren’t sold on Williams, then the door is open for the Commanders to trade up and get him. But if the Bears stick at 1, then the Commanders can take the next best quarterback. That’s Maye. Now, some will make the case for Jayden Daniels but I have the Commanders sticking with the big Tar Heel, who they hope will become the type of franchise quarterback they’ve been missing.
3. Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Here’s where things get tricky. The Patriots are entering the post-Bill Belichick Era and they can take the best player on the board or they can find their next quarterback. Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe aren’t the answer. And if the Patriots think Daniels can be the guy, then they have to do this. The Heisman Trophy winner is a true dual-threat who is a bit erratic but has major upside.
4. Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
There’s a strong case to be made that the son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison is the best overall prospect in this draft class. If the Cardinals are going to run it back with Kyler Murray,…
