2024 NFL Mock Draft: Latest 3-Round Forecast with Projected Comp Picks

See where this year's top prospects land in the latest three-round NFL mock draft for 2024.

How is it December already?

The final month of the calendar year means your favorite NFL team is either trying to make one last push for the postseason, or they've already got you looking ahead to the offseason.

If you find yourself in that second group, welcome to draft season! We've been expecting you.

Whether you're a Chicago Bears fan salivating over multiple top-five picks (including No. 1, again), a New England Patriots fan who has never seen what a top-five pick actually looks like, or a Carolina Panthers fan who has "C.J. Stroud" muted on social media, we've got something for everyone in our updated 2024 NFL mock draft.

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 13 results:

1. Chicago Bears (from CAR)

Caleb Williams | QB | USC

Jason Parkhurst-USA TODAY Sports

The Bears could choose to keep building around Justin Fields (either by using this pick on a different position, or by trading down like they did last year), but if there's a new coaching staff in Chicago, conventional wisdom says they'll want to hand-pick their own franchise quarterback. Despite his up-and-down 2023 season, Williams' rare talent gives him limitless upside that's worth the top pick.

2. New England Patriots

Drake Maye | QB | North Carolina

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

No team in the NFL needs anything as badly as the Patriots need a quality quarterback. The post-Tom Brady era has become a desolate wasteland for New England under center, and any of this year's top rookies would give them an immediate upgrade. Similar to Williams, Maye's 2023 season was a roller-coaster, but he's still got the tools to be a difference-maker at the next level.

3. Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. | WR | Ohio State

Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

This is the ideal scenario for Arizona, as they land the best overall prospect in the entire draft, and fill one of their biggest needs in the process. They've already invested heavily in Kyler Murray with a massive contract, and giving him a true No. 1 receiver like Harrison would ensure he's able to play up to that pay grade. Harrison has all the traits to live up to his Hall of Fame namesake.

4. Washington Commanders

Olu Fashanu | OT | Penn State

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Sam Howell has shown flashes of franchise-QB ability this season, but he's been running for his life all year long. Imagine what he'd be able to do with improved protection up front? Bolstering the offensive line has to be the top priority for Washington in the offseason, and landing the best tackle in a deep class would be an ideal way to start. 

5. Chicago Bears

Laiatu Latu | EDGE | UCLA

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

The Bears made a bold move at the deadline, trading for Montez Sweat to address their desperate need for an impact edge rusher. He's made an immediate impact for Chicago, but they could still use a similar presence on the opposite side of the defensive front. Latu comes with some medical concerns, but he's been as dominant and productive as any pass rusher in college football this year.

6. New York Jets

Joe Alt | OT | Notre Dame

USA TODAY Sports

If the Jets want to keep Aaron Rodgers healthy for more than a couple of plays next season, they're going to need some massive improvements to the offensive line. That needs to start at left tackle, where Rodgers needs a reliable blind-side protector. The son of a Pro Bowler at the same position, Alt has the talent and polish to be that guy from Day 1.

7. New York Giants

Rome Odunze | WR | Washington

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

I wouldn't count out a quarterback here, but if the Giants want to give Daniel Jones another shot at living up to his big contract extension (once he's returned to full strength from a torn ACL), they need to give him a true No. 1 receiver. New York has some solid complementary targets for Jones, but nobody that brings Odunze's size, physicality, and complete skill set to the table.

8. Tennessee Titans

Brock Bowers | TE | Georgia

Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union-USA TODAY NETWORK

Offensive line is easily the biggest need here, but there's not a prospect on the board in this scenario that's worth passing on an elite talent like Bowers. A dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands, Bowers is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, and hhis presence would aid the development of their young quarterback in Will Levis.

9. New Orleans Saints

Jayden Daniels | QB | LSU

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

Derek Carr has been banged up all year long, but even at full strength, he hasn't looked like a quarterback worthy of the massive contract the Saints gave him last offseason. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if the Saints admitted their mistake by spending their top pick on a new signal-caller, and if they get the chance to stay in-state with a dual-threat weapon like Daniels, it should be an easy call.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Dallas Turner | EDGE | Alabama

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

The Bucs have a long list of potential needs after this season, and quarterback might be at the top of the list. In this scenario, though, there's not a passer available who's worth passing on the talent available at other positions they'll need to address. Turner's athleticism, explosiveness and versatility would give Tampa Bay's pass rush a much-needed boost off the edge.

11. Las Vegas Raiders

Malik Nabers | WR | LSU

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Much like the Bucs, the Raiders will have tons of needs to fill in the offseason, and quarterback should easily be their top priority. But instead of reaching for the next-best signal-caller on the board, the Raiders would be wise to find better value elsewhere, and that leads them to a loaded receiver class. Nabers is a smooth route-runner whose rare explosiveness makes him a big-play machine after the catch.

12. Los Angeles Chargers

Jer'Zhan Newton | DL | Illinois

USA TODAY Sports

This defense needs all the help it can get, so this pick has to be about finding the best prospect on that side of the ball. Whatever Newton might lack in ideal size, he makes up for with rare explosiveness for an interior defender. He's easily the top player at his position in this year's class, and would give the Chargers a disruptive force at the point of attack that they desperately need.

13. Buffalo Bills

Keon Coleman | WR | Florida State

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports

Josh Allen needs another pass-catcher who can take some pressure off Stefon Diggs, and make opposing defenses pay for giving him too much of their attention. This year's elite receiver class should give them the perfect opportunity to remedy that, and Coleman's combination of size, length, physicality and leaping ability would make him the perfect complement to Diggs' skill set.

14. Denver Broncos

Nate Wiggins | CB | Clemson

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY NETWORK

The Broncos hit a grand slam a few years back when they landed Patrick Surtain II in the first round, and this time around, they should be looking for another stud corner to pair with him. Wiggins has ideal height and length for the position, and the instincts and ball skills to make opposing quarterbacks regret throwing away from Surtain's side of the field.

15. Seattle Seahawks

Chop Robinson | EDGE | Penn State

Matthew OHaren-USA TODAY Sports

Trading for Leonard Williams addressed Seattle's need for more beef along the interior of their defensive front, but they could still use another explosive edge rusher to team up with recent draft picks Boye Mafe and Derick Hall. Robinson has a fantastic first step off the snap, and a wide range of polished pass-rushing moves that should allow him to make an immediate impact at the next level.

16. Los Angeles Rams

Jared Verse | EDGE | Florida State

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports

The Rams have needs all over the place on both sides of the ball, but you can never go wrong loading up on the trenches. Even though he's the fourth edge defender off the board in this scenario, Verse is a polished and pro-ready defender who has anchored one of the nation's most dominant defenses this season. Lining him up next to Aaron Donald would be a nightmare for opposing blockers.

17. Cincinnati Bengals

JC Latham | OT | Alabama

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

This pick has to be about helping out Joe Burrow, and with all of the top pass-catchers off the board, that means bolstering the offensive line. Jonah Williams is in the final year of his contract, and the Bengals could get a cheaper upgrade if they're able to land a player like Latham, who has been battle-tested against SEC competition at his right tackle spot.

18. Arizona Cardinals (from HOU)

Kool-Aid McKinstry | CB | Alabama

USA TODAY Sports

This pick is a bit lower than the Cards were probably hoping, but this scenario still puts them in position to fill their biggest need on defense with a blue-chip talent. McKinstry has all the physical tools to quickly develop into a shutdown corner at the next level, and he brings added value as an explosive playmaker in the return game.

19. Atlanta Falcons

J.J. McCarthy | QB | Michigan

Junfu Han-USA TODAY NETWORK

The Falcons have a ton of explosive playmakers on offense, but they need an upgrade at quarterback who can take full advantage of the talent around him. McCarthy has worked in a run-heavy offense at Michigan, but has flashed impressive arm talent and big-play ability as both a thrower and a runner that could be a strong fit in Atlanta.

20. Green Bay Packers

Amarius Mims | OT | Georgia

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

It's time for the Packers to look to the future at offensive tackle, where they should be targeting a successor for banged-up veteran David Bakhtiari. Mims missed a decent chunk of the 2023 season with an injury of his own, but when fully healthy, he's a massive mauler who would give Green Bay a long-term upgrade at a premium position.

21. Minnesota Vikings

Leonard Taylor III | DL | Miami (FL)

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Quarterback will obviously be the wild-card here, but it seems likely that Kirk Cousins will be back in Minnesota with a new contract next year. If that's the case, the Vikings would be wise to load up on defensive talent early in this draft, particularly in the trenches. With all of the top edge defenders off the board, the better value comes inside, where Taylor would give the Vikes a disruptive force against both the run and pass.

22. Indianapolis Colts

Terrion Arnold | CB | Alabama

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

This secondary needs help at both levels, and this scenario gives them strong options at both corner and safety. Corner being the more premium position, they go in that direction with this pick. Arnold may have been under McKinstry's shadow heading into the season, but you can make a strong argument that he was the best corner on the field for the Crimson Tide in 2023.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers

Taliese Fuaga | OT | Oregon State

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

This year, the Steelers spent a first-round pick on an offensive tackle for the first time since 1996, so doing it two years in a row seems unlikely. That said, why not double-dip and go another 20 years without having to do it again? Fuaga's massive frame and punishing style of play would be a perfect fit in Pittsburgh, and he'd be an immediate upgrade opposite Broderick Jones on the right side.

24. Houston Texans (from CLE)

Emeka Egbuka | WR | Ohio State

USA TODAY Sports

Nico Collins is having a breakout season, and rookie Tank Dell already looks like a star, but that shouldn't stop the Texans from giving C.J. Stroud another dynamic pass-catcher. Egbuka's well-rounded skill set and polished route-running ability would make Houston's promising offense that much more dangerous next season and beyond.

25. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Paul | OT | Houston

USA TODAY Sports

Plenty are clamoring for more receivers for Patrick Mahomes, but the Chiefs' biggest need on offense is at left tackle, where they need a true franchise player to protect their star quarterback's blind side. Paul's combination of size, length, and power give him as much upside as any tackle in this year's deep class, and would make him an instant upgrade in Kansas City.

26. Jacksonville Jaguars

Kalen King | CB | Penn State

Kirby Lee - USA TODAY Sports

Tyson Campbell is solid, but you need more than one quality corner in today's pass-happy NFL, so the Jags should look for another stud to pair him with early in this draft. King is a complete defender with the physical and mental tools to be a star at the next level, and he'd somehow be the first Nittany Lion defensive back ever picked in the first round.

27. Dallas Cowboys

Graham Barton | OL | Duke

Jaylynn Nash-USA TODAY Sports

Dallas could use help at multiple spots along the offensive line, so why not spend a first-round pick on somebody who can play all five positions up front? Barton has spent the lion's share of his college snaps at tackle for the Blue Devils, but his best fit at the next level is likely inside. Wherever he lines up, he'd provide an instant boost for the Cowboys, both on the ground and protecting Dak Prescott.

28. Detroit Lions

JT Tuimoloau | EDGE | Ohio State

USA TODAY Sports

Aidan Hutchinson has already established himself as one of the most dominant edge defenders in the NFL, but the Lions could use another well-rounded player to lock down the other side. Tuimoloau has the versatility to defend the run and rush the passer, can line up all over the defensive front, and even make big plays in the passing game when asked to drop into coverage.

29. San Francisco 49ers

Tyler Guyton | OT | Oklahoma

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

There are a few clear-cut needs on this roster, but none more glaring than right tackle, where the 49ers desperately need an instant upgrade. The depth of this year's tackle class should give them some solid options, even this late in the first round, and Guyton fits the bill. He checks every box from a physical standpoint, and while he has plenty of experience on both sides, he's best suited for what San Francisco needs most.

30. Baltimore Ravens

Cooper DeJean | DB | Iowa

George Walker IV/USA TODAY NETWORK-USA TODAY NETWORK

Kyle Hamilton is already a stud, but the Ravens need more playmakers in the secondary. DeJean suffered a season-ending injury late in the year that could impact his availability for predraft testing and workouts, but at full strength, he's one of the most athletic and versatile prospects in the entire draft. He could be a huge steal here once he's fully healthy.

31. Miami Dolphins

Troy Fautanu | OL | Washington

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

It's never flashy to spend your first-round pick on an interior offensive lineman, but good teams know the value of building up the trenches. If the Dolphins want to remain a good team, that's the route they shoulkd take in this scenario. Fautanu has lined up at tackle for the Huskies, but he'd be a dominant guard from Day 1 in Miami.

32. Philadelphia Eagles

Xavier Legette | WR | South Carolina

Jeff Blake-USA TODAY Sports

The Eagles don't have any glaring holes in the starting lineup, so they can make something of a luxury pick here, giving Jalen Hurts yet another explosive playmaker in the passing game. Legette's scary combination of size, explosiveness and physicality would make him an unfair matchup as the No. 3 receiver in this loaded offense.
