As we progress to Draft Day next weekend for the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan, teams continue to maneuver to position themselves for draft success. 2024 may be one of the most talented classes in recent memory. This year is highlighted by superb talent at wide receiver, quarterback and offensive line. So teams will have their choice of solid prospects and impactful players through several of the early rounds.
Easterling stays the course with quarterbacks Williams, Daniels, and Maye going 1-2-3 to Chicago, Washington and New England respectively, plus superstar wideout Harrison being selected 4th to the Cardinals.
The fun begins with the Vikings trading multiple first-rounders to the Chargers to move to the 5th slot to land the College National Championship QB from Michigan, and the Jags make a deal with Atlanta to move to 8 for the chance to grab the explosive WR Odunze from Washington.

The Cowboys swing a trade to move to 12 to reinforce their offensive line by snagging a top-10 talent from Penn State who had slid a bit, but has immense upside.
