Timb2's NFL Mock Draft 2-24-24 withReasons& Trades

[timb2]

1ST ROUND

***TRADE***
Bears trade the 1st overall pick to the Commanders for their 1st( 2nd overall and a 3rd round pick)
Reason- I just don't see the Bears going for another QB when they just drafted Justin Fields just a couple of years ago.

1- Commanders- Caleb Williams QB USC
Reason- Commanders need to figure out the QB situation. Fear of teams like the Patriots leap frogging them for the QB rated the best in this draft.

2- Bears- Marvin Harrison WR Ohio State
Reason- Harrison is the best player in this draft. Bears could have dynamite at WR with DJ Moore & Harrison paired together.

3- Patriots- Jayden Daniels QB LSU
Reason- Matt Jones lost his confidence and Pats need to look for a fresh start post Belichik era. Start with the Heismann Winner Daniels.

***TRADE***
Cardinals trade 4th overall to the Giants for their 1st (6th overall)& 3rd.
Reason- Giants need to pull the trigger if they want to replace Daniel Jones who has been nothing special.

4- Giants- Drake Maye QB North Carolina
Reason- Need to find the future of the franchise with this pick.

5- Chargers-Laiatu Latu OLB UCLA
Reason-Edge Rushers Khalil Mack who is getting up in age and Joey Bosa gets hurt a lot both are big contracts. Latu would be a popular pick from UCLA

6- Cardinals- Malik Nabers WR LSU
Reason- Really need a #1 WR. Hollywood Brown is ok but not special. Nabers is a YAC guy that would be a great help to the Cards offense.

7- Titans- Joe Alt OT Notre Dame
Reason- Titans have lots of free agents and holes. If Titans want Will Levis to succeed,they better get him some protection. Alt is NFL ready and could play either OT position as a rookie

8-Falcons- J.J. McCarthy QB Michigan
Reason- Desmond Ridder regressed and Taylor Heinke and his noodle arm is the starter. Dirty Birds hope McCarthy who greatly improved in 2023 can be their guy at QB.

9-Bears- Brock Bowers TE Georgia
Reason- Got the best WR and now the best TE in the draft.

10-Jets- Olu Fashanu OT Penn State
Reason- Mekhi Becton is a free agent, plus in 2022 didn't know if he wanted to play football anymore plus weight issues maybe it's time to move on.

[Hardline]

If the Bears don't want Caleb all Washington would have to do is take him with the very next pick.

 

[timb2]

11-Vikings- Dallas Turner OLB Alabama
Reason- Both edge rushers Danielle Hunter & Marcus Davenport are free agents. Turner can start as a rookie.

12-Broncos- Bo Nix QB Oregon
Reason- Russell Wilson is out and Broncos will be searching for a QB. Is 12 too high for Nix? Yes ,but teams desperate make gambles.

13-Raiders- Taliese Fuaga OT Oregon State
Reason- This team is in all kinds disrepair. Fuaga is a good molding block to help rebuild. Fuaga is a mean & nasty player. Exactly what the Raiders need.

14-Saints- Xavier Worthy WR Texas
Reason- Really need a spark on offense. Michael Thomas is getting more injured and Chris Olave is very good but needs someone to not have teams just doubling him. Worthy is probably one of the fastest players in this draft .

15-Colts- Terrion Arnold CB Alabama.
Reason- Julius Brents & Dallis Flowers are not # 1 CBs. Arnold is a ballhawk and should become the # 1CB here.

 

[timb2]

If the Bears don't want Caleb all Washington would have to do is take him with the very next pick.

Bears will try to get value to move down. Play poker like other teams interested for the 1st pick and Commanders panic to move up.

 

[timb2]

16- Seahawks- Troy Fautanu OG Washington
Reason- Seattle's o- line interior are all free agents. Fautanu is very athletic and would be a solid starter for the next decade.

17-Jaguars- Nate Wiggins CB Clemson
Reason- Really need a star in their secondary and Wiggins has talent to be a Day 1 Starter and #1 CB.

18-Bengals- Amaris Mims OT Georgia
Reason- Jonah Williams is free agent and actually better suited to be a OG. Mims paired with Orlando Brown as bookend tackles would be like 2 monsters out of a Godzilla movie. Joe Burrow would be very happy.

19-Rams- Jackson Powers- Johnson C Oregon
Reason- If you look at the Rams depth chart currently. There's very little depth at interior o- line a Shelly the starter at Center is a free agent

20-Steelers- T'Vondre Sweat NT Texas
Reason- Sweat is 360 lbs. No one is moving Sweat. Roadblock for the run game.

[timb2]

21- Dolphins- Jer'Zhan Newton DT Illinois
Reason- Wilkens & Davis both free agents and little depth on D- Line.

22-Eagles- Kool- Aid McKinstry CB Alabama
Reason- Secondary was a problem. Slay is getting old and Bradberry was exposed. McKinstry brought in to shore it up.

23-Texans- Jared Verse DE Florida State
Reason- Verse is BPA . Paired with Anderson and they could be the start of something special on the D- Line.

24- Cowboys-Rome Odunze WR Washington
Reason- What Dallas is missing is a big target at WR. Odunze at 6'-3" ,215 lbs could be what the Boys have been missing.




25-Packers- Cooper DeJean S Iowa
Reason- Both Packers starting Safeties are free agents and both are small. DeJean tall and fast enough who could also play CB if needed.

 

[timb2]

26-Buccaneers- Kamren Kitchens S Miami
Reason- Both starting Safeties are free agents Winfield and Neal. Kitchens is a playmaker and could step in immediately.

27-Cardinals- Kamari Lassiter CB Georgia
Reason- Cardinals CBs scare no one. Lassister is a hard hitting CB who could bring some attitude to the Cards Defense.

28-Bills- Troy Franklin WR Oregon
Reason- Another weapon for Josh Allen. Memories of Jim Kelly's High Score Offense.

29-Lions- Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo
Reason- Lions need help at CB. Don't let the smaller school fool you. Mitchell can play.

30-Ravens-Graham Barton OG Duke
Reason- Both starting OGs are free agents Simpson and Zeitler. Zeitler has to be near 100 years old now. Barton could take his spot.

31- 49ers- JC Latham OT Alabama
Reason- Trent Williams getting near his mid - thirties . Time to find the heir apparent.

32-Chiefs-Darius Robinson DE Missouri
Reason- 3 starters on the D- Line are free agents. Robinson is versatile enough to play DE or DT if needed

 

[timb2]

2ND ROUND

33-Panthers- Tyler Guyton OT Oklahoma
Reason- Guyton is BPA . Ekwonu or Moton could slide to OG and the 6'7",322 lbs OT starts blocking out the sun.

34-Patriots-Patrick Paul OT Houston
Reason- Both starting OTs are free agents.

35-Cardinals- Johnathan Brooks RB Texas
Reason- James Connor is a workhorse but he is slow.
