2024 NFL Mock Draft: 3 Rounds of Holiday Gifts for Every Team

Check out the latest three-round projections for the 2024 NFL Draft.

You know that scene in "Home Alone" where Marv trudges up a tar-soaked staircase in the basement, losing his shoes and socks along the way, only to put a giant nail through his foot and fall all the way back to the floor?

That's what it's like to be a Carolina Panthers fan this season, watching your team slog their way to the worst record in the league, only to see the Chicago Bears sitting at the top of the 2024 NFL Draft order.

Thanks to this year's pre-draft trade to move up for Bryce Young, the Bears currently own the Panthers' first-round pick in next year's draft, which is on track to be the No. 1 selection. The Bears might be having challenges of their own this season, but at least they're on track to land a pair of top-five picks for their trouble.

Since Panthers (and Cleveland Browns) fans don't get to have any fun in your run-of-the-mill, first-round-only mock drafts, here's an updated look at how the first three rounds of next year's draft could turn out, using the latest updated pick order following Week 15 action:

1. Chicago Bears (from CAR)

Caleb Williams | QB | USC

Jason Parkhurst-USA TODAY Sports

If the Bears stick with Justin Fields, they could use this pick to keep building around him, either by auctioning it off again or by taking the best player in the draft (Marvin Harrison Jr.). But if they bring in a new coaching staff, it's more likely they'll want to pick their own franchise quarterback, and Williams still has the edge over the rest of a talented class.

2. New England Patriots

Drake Maye | QB | North Carolina

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

No team in this draft needs something more than the Pats need a franchise quarterback. Regardless of whether or not Bill Belichick returns next season, New England has to swing big under center, and they're in position to do just that with this pick. Similar to Williams, Maye struggled with consistency this season, but he's still got all the tools to be a difference-maker.

3. Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. | WR | Ohio State

Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

The perfect match of need and value, the Cards land the best overall player in the draft, while giving Kyler Murray the true No. 1 receiver he desperately needs. Lofty comparisons to his Hall of Fame dad are unfair for any rookie, but Harrison has the mental and physical traits to chase his own gold jacket.

4. Washington Commanders

Jayden Daniels | QB | LSU

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

This isn't Sam Howell's fault. Let's get that straight right off the bat. The offensive line had him running for his life all year long, and he's still managed to put up some promising numbers and make some big plays. But if there's a new coaching staff in place, it won't be shocking if they want to start over at quarterback, and Daniels' progression in 2023 proved he's worthy of a top-five pick.

5. Chicago Bears

Dallas Turner | EDGE | Alabama

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

This is a fantastic scenario for the Bears, who are presented with the coveted problem of having to choose between blue-chip prospects at multiple positions of need. Braxton Jones' improvement at left tackle might be just enough to get them to go defense instead here, passing up the top tackle prospects in favor of another explosive pass rusher to pair with Montez Sweat.

6. New York Giants

Olu Fashanu | OT | Penn State

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

With the top three quarterbacks already off the board, the Giants have to switch gears and find another way to help their stagnant offense. A top receiver like Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers would make sense, but if either Fashanu or Alt are still on the board (let alone both of them), fortifying the tackle spot opposite Andrew Thomas with another stud (and kicking Evan Neal inside to guard) would be the best choice.

7. New York Jets

Joe Alt | OT | Notre Dame

USA TODAY Sports

If the Jets want to avoid another serious injury to Aaron Rodgers next season, they're going to need to improve his protection up front. It would be ideal for the board to fall this way, giving New York the opportunity to land a polished, pro-ready left tackle prospect in Alt who would give them an immediate upgrade on Rodgers' blind side.

8. Los Angeles Chargers

Jer'Zhan Newton | DL | Illinois

USA TODAY Sports

This roster is getting old and expensive fast, and with a coaching change on the horizon, an overhaul is coming. Winning football starts in the trenches, and the Chargers need a difference-maker along the interior. Newton is easily the top prospect in this year's class at the position, and would give Los Angeles a disruptive playmaker at the point of attack.

9. Tennessee Titans

Brock Bowers | TE | Georgia

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Offensive line is easily the biggest need here, but if the board falls this way, there's nobody worth reaching for at those positions that would be worth passing up a talent like Bowers. If helping Will Levis develop into the best version of himself is the goal, giving him a dynamic playmaker like Bowers would be a huge step in that direction, and getting him at this slot would be a bargain.

10. Atlanta Falcons

Malik Nabers | WR | LSU

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

There are some pressing needs on defense, but without a quarterback still on the board who's worthy of a top-10 pick, the Falcons opt instead for yet another first-round playmaker for the offense. Nabers is a big-play machine after the catch, with the explosiveness to turn every touch into a score. Teaming him up with Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson could be scary if the Falcons can finally find a quarterback who can take full advantage of their talents.

11. Green Bay Packers

Taliese Fuaga | OT | Oregon State

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

The Packers haven't spent a first-round pick on an offensive tackle in more than a decade, but it's time to end that streak. A loaded class should give them plenty of quality options at this point in the draft, but after a dominant 2023 campaign, Fuaga could easily be the best of the bunch. He's a massive mauler who finishes his blocks with authority, and still has plenty of room to grow.

12. Las Vegas Raiders

Nate Wiggins | CB | Clemson

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY NETWORK

This team needs just about everything at this point, but without a worthy quarterback option here, their most glaring holes are on defense. They need a true shutdown presence at corner, and Wiggins brings an ideal combination of height and length for the position. His instincts and ball skills made him a big-play magnet for the Tigers, and the Raiders definitely need more of those.

13. New Orleans Saints

JC Latham | OT | Alabama

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

If the Saints are gonna get anywhere near their money's worth for Derek Carr, they're going to need to keep him upright and healthy, and that means some big upgrades along the offensive line are necessary. Latham is a powerful blocker with a massive frame who brings impressive quickness and athleticism for his size.

14. Denver Broncos

Rome Odunze | WR | Washington

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

The defense needs help at a couple of spots, but if Odunze is still on the board, he might be too hard to pass up. Courtland Sutton has been solid when healthy, and Marvin Mims Jr. has shown promise, but another top-flight receiver could help Russell Wilson and the offense take the next step. Odunze has all the tools to quickly become the best pass-catcher on this roster.

15. Seattle Seahawks

Jared Verse | EDGE | Florida State

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports

Trading for Leonard Williams bolstered the interior of Seattle's defensive front, but they could use another dominant presence on the edge, and this scenario gives them the perfect opportunity to land that player. Verse was the driving force behind one of the best defenses in the country this season, and he's a pro-ready pass rusher who would make an instant impact.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers

Terrion Arnold | CB | Alabama

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

Joey Porter Jr. already looks like a star in the making, but you can never have too many talented corners, and the Steelers need an upgrade on the other side of the field. Arnold wasn't even considered the best corner on his own team at the beginning of the year, but his impressive 2023 campaign has proven him to be a complete player worth taking in this range.

17. Arizona Cardinals (from HOU)

Kool-Aid McKinstry | CB | Alabama

USA TODAY Sports

Speaking of Crimson Tide corners, McKinstry might not be the top-10 lock many were projecting at the start of the season, but he's still got the physical tools and playmaking ability to be a first-rounder. The Cardinals need a high-upside player with McKinstry's combination of size, length and ball skills on the outside, something they haven't had since Patrick Peterson.

18. Buffalo Bills

Keon Coleman | WR | Florida State

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports

The Bills are finally unlocking more of their offensive potential with James Cook and Dalton Kincaid, but that shouldn't keep them from targeting another playmaker here, especially if the board falls this way. Coleman's size, physicality and leaping ability would be the perfect complement to Stefon Diggs' skill set as Josh Allen's new No. 2 receiver.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Laiatu Latu | EDGE | UCLA

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

While rookies Calijah Kancey and YaYa Diaby have brought some juice to Tampa Bay's pass rush this season, the Bucs should still target another dynamic edge rusher here. Latu's got top-five talent and tape, but his injury history could leave him on the board longer than he might deserve. If he's able to stay healthy, he could be a massive steal as the Shaq Barrett's new understudy.

20. Minnesota Vikings

Chop Robinson | EDGE | Penn State

Matthew OHaren-USA TODAY Sports

Quarterback is obviously the big wild card for the Vikings this offseason, but it makes the most sense for Kirk Cousins to return with a new contract, despite his season-ending injury. Minnesota should focus on their defensive front here instead, adding an explosive edge rusher in Robinson who can wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks every snap.

21. Los Angeles Rams

Amarius Mims | OT | Georgia

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Alaric Jackson has been solid at left tackle, but the Rams could use a long-term upgrade on the right side. Mims missed some time with an ankle injury earlier in the season, but at full strength, he's proven to be a dominant presence at that spot. A loaded offensive tackle class could give teams like the Rams some fantastic value options at this point in the first round.

22. Indianapolis Colts

Xavier Legette | WR | South Carolina

Jeff Blake-USA TODAY Sports

If the Colts are willing to wait until Day 2 to address their needs in the secondary, they can use this pick to grab a potential replacement for Michael Pittman Jr. if they can't re-sign him. Legette's rare combination of size, explosiveness and physicality jumps off the tape, and after he lights up the NFL Scouting Combine, this spot might be too low.

23. Jacksonville Jaguars

Troy Fautanu | OL | Washington

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

Protecting Trevor Lawrence has to be the top priority for the Jags at all times, and that means they need to bolster the interior of the offensive line. Fautanu has been lined up at tackle for the Huskies, but he profiles as a better guard prospect in the NFL. He could immediately become a dominant force for one of the league's ascending teams.

24. Cincinnati Bengals

Tyler Guyton | OT | Oklahoma

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

There are needs on defense, and Joe Burrow might need some new pass-catchers after free agency depletes their depth behind Ja'Marr Chase, but none of that will matter if the Bengals can't protect their franchise quarterback. Guyton has all the tools to be an immediate and long-term upgrade at right tackle.

25. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Paul | OT | Houston

USA TODAY Sports

Chiefs fans will be screaming for a wide receiver here, and I totally get it. But the left tackle spot has to be addressed, too, and this year's receiver class is deep enough to give them solid Day 2 options. Paul's combination of size and length gives him as much upside as any tackle in this class, and he's the perfect fit for what KC needs to protect Patrick Mahomes' blind side.

26. Houston Texans (from CLE)

Brian Thomas Jr. | WR | LSU

Matthew Hinton-USA TODAY Sports

Nico Collins and Tank Dell already give C.J. Stroud a strong wide receiver tandem, but you can never have too many dynamic weapons for your young franchise quarterback, so the Texans should be willing to target one here. Even while playing in Malik Nabers' shadow, Thomas made a name for himself with a breakout campaign in 2023, and his size/speed combo is first-round worthy.

27. Detroit Lions

JT Tuimoloau | EDGE | Ohio State

USA TODAY Sports

I hate to keep mocking the same guy to the same team over and over, but sometimes the fit is just too right. The Lions need an upgrade across from Aidan Hutchinson along the defensive front, and Tuimoloau's complete skill set makes him the perfect pairing. He's a tough, versatile player who can line up on the edge, slide inside on passing downs, and even get his hands on the ball when passes come his way.

28. Philadelphia Eagles

Kalen King | CB | Penn State

Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports

Philly needs an infusion of young talent at the corner spot, and they should have plenty of solid options in this range, thanks to a fairly deep class at the position. They don't have to look outside the state in this scenario, as King has all the physical and mental tools to be the first Nittany Lion defensive back ever selected in the first round.

29. Miami Dolphins

Leonard Taylor III | DL | Miami (FL)

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

The Dolphins need reinforcements in the trenches on both sides of the ball, so they could go either way here. In this scenario, the best value comes on defense, where they land a disruptive force in Taylor, who won't have to travel far after making tons of big plays in opposing backfields for the Canes.

30. Dallas Cowboys

Graham Barton | OL | Duke

Jaylynn Nash-USA TODAY Sports

Don't count out corner or even a wide receiver here, but Dallas has to bolster the offensive line before worrying about any of their other needs. If they're looking for a versatile prospect who can play multiple spots, Barton would be the perfect fit, thanks to his ability to play all five positions in the offensive trenches.

31. San Francisco 49ers

Quinyon Mitchell | CB | Toledo

Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports

If the 49ers miss out on the top prospects at right tackle, they should switch gears and look for better value elsewhere instead of reaching for need. That should point them toward the secondary, where they need help at corner. Mitchell may not be a household name just yet, but he's a stud cover man who could sneap into the first round after a fantastic 2023 campaign.

32. Baltimore Ravens

Cooper DeJean | DB | Iowa

George Walker IV/USA TODAY NETWORK-USA TODAY NETWORK

The Ravens already have one versatile playmaker in the secondary in Kyle Hamilton, so why not pair him with another one? DeJean lined up all over the field for the Hawkeyes, and can play either in the slot or outside at corner, on the back end at safety, or even in the box as a linebacker. He's also a big-play threat in the return game.
