GO FOR 2 Carlos Gust

With only a few days left until the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. I wanted to give you guys my mock draft 3.0 with some pretty interesting trade ideas. In each episode, I take you through every pick in the draft and tell you what I think will happen versus what I think the team will do. I'll breakdown every pick in the first round what I like and don't about the player.
1. CHI- QB Caleb Williams, USC
Bears get the new face of the franchise in Caleb Williams. Can he break the Bears curse at QB?
2. WAS- QB Jadyen Daniels, LSU
With a regime can Jayden Daniels be the new Leaders of the Commanders?
3. NE- QB Drake Maye, UNC
Life without Bill. What will the Patriots do to turn around this historic franchise? Could the Patriots possibly trade out of the 3rd overall pick and pass on a legacy WR or a franchise QB?
4. ARZ- WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State
Cardinals find their next Larry Fitzgerald. With all the talent and bloodline, how good can Marvin Harrison be?
5. (Trade) MIN- QB JJ McCarthy, Michigan
Chargers trade out of the top 5. to collect 2 extra first round picks to rebuild this roster.
Chargers receive 

(11th) overall pick
(23rd) overall pick
(129) in the 4th round pick
1st round pick in 2028

Vikings receives

(5th) overall pick and
2025 2nd round pick

Vikings go all in on Michigan QB JJ McCarthy. Will he be the next Jordan Love or Trey Lance/Zach Wilson?
6. NYG- WR Malik Nabers, LSU
Giants finally get a WR1 to help Daniel Jones in what could be a make or break season.
7. TEN- OT Joe Alt, Notre Dame
Titans under a new regime continue to build this roster. Joe Alt is a near perfect prospect. Help is on the way for QB Will Levis.
8. ATL- ED Dallas Turner, Alabama
With "Kirko" Chains coming to the ATL this offense might have finally broken open. New Head Coach Raheem Morris looks to continue an improving defense.
9. (Trade) LAC- WR Rome Odunze, Washington
The Bears trade out of the Top 10. I know they are passing on WR Rome Odunze and/or ED Jared Verse, but the Bears only have 4 picks in the draft. I expect General Manager Ryan Poles to be working the phone all night.
Bears receive 

11th overall pick
(129th) 4th round pick
(181th) 6th round pick

Chargers receive

9th overall pick

The Chargers traded back into the Top 10, jumping over the Jets to select WR Rome Odunze. Jim Harabaugh is very famailiar with Rome, back in January they faced each other in the National Championship game. The Chargers, desperate to find pass catchers in the offense find, one for Justin Herbert. Adding Rome could help the development of last year's first round pick Quentin Johnston, who had a rough rookie year to say the least.
10. (Trade) CIN- TE Brock Bowers, Georgia
General Manager Joe Douglas for the first time ever trades out of the 1st round to collect more draft capital. I know it's hard to believe the Jets are leaving a lot of big time prospects on the board, but they need depth. Moving back 8 spots and adding a 2nd round pick is a steal.
Jets receive 

18th overall pick
(49th) 2nd round pick
(80th) 3rd round pick

Bengals receive

10th overall pick
(72nd) 3rd round pick

This might be a fever dream but I think the Bengals go all in. With 11 picks the Bengals trade up 8 spots to get a super dynamic pass catcher to go along in this offense. Let's not forget we are assuming that Tee Higgins will be on the roster in 2024. Nonetheless, Brock Bowers would be a great second option in this offense. The AFC is just getting tougher.

With only a few days left until the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. I wanted to give you guys my mock draft 3.0 with some pretty interesting trade ideas. In each episode, I take you through every pick in the draft and tell you what I think will happen versus what I think the team will do. I'll breakdown every pick in the first round what I like and don't about the player. 
* I did have to update the trades just a bit.
11. (Trade) PHI- CB Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo
Bears receive

22nd overall pick
(53rd) 2nd round pick
(161) 5th round pick

The Bears trade back once again to collect even more trade assets. Bears taking advantage of the runs on CBs. and OTs.
Eagles receive

11th overall pick
(140th) 5th round pick

The Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman strikes again. Making a big time trade to move up 11 spots to jump into from of some CB needy teams. They take Quinyon Mitchell to add to this secondary. He's a perfect fit for Vic Fangio defense.
12th. (Trade) GB- CB Cooper DeJean, Iowa
Broncos receive

12th overall pick
(58th) 2nd round pick
(91st) 3rd round pick

The Broncos are desperate for a QB even with the addition of QB Zach Wilson. Trading back allows the Broncos to build the roster through the draft.
Packers receive

12th overall pick
(121st) 4th round pick

The Packers have a lot of draft picks here. They have 5 picks in the top 100. I think the Packers go big and bring in Cooper DeJean from Iowa. Cooper DeJean is the ultimate Swiss army knife under new Defensive Coodinator Jeff Haley.
13. LV- OT Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State
Raiders could look to take a CB but I think they look to build the offensive line. After losing two starting offensive linemen the Raiders take the versatile Taliese Fuaga. He fits the mode of a Raider player. Tough and Nasty. New Head Coach Antonio Pierce would approve.
14. NO- OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, Penn State
Saints need help on the offensive line. Adding Olumuyiwa Fashanu could play the left tackle position moving former 1st round pick Trevor Penning to left guard. This could fix two positions on the offensive line.
15. IND- CB Terrion Arnold, Alabama
The Colts missed out on CB L'Jarius Sneed and they need help to match up with all the WRs in the AFC South. Guys like: Calvin Ridley DeAndre Hopkins, Gabe Davis, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and now Stefon Diggs. Help is on the way.
16. (Trade) NYJ- OG Troy Fautanu, Washington
Seahawks receive

18th overall
(134th) 4th round pick

The Seahawks with a new Head Coach in Mike McDonald move back two spots to collect another pick in this draft.
Jets receive

16th pick

The Jets need help at the offensive. Still a lot of uncertainty at the position. Troy Fautanu can play 4/5 positions on the offensive line. That is exactly what the Jets need.
17. (Trade) CHI- ED Jared Verse, Florida State
Jaguars receive

22nd overall pick
(75th) 3rd round pick

The Jaguars move up in the 3rd round.
Bears receive

17th pick
(96th) 3rd round pick
(212nd) 6th round pick

The Bears not only move back and collect some draft picks but they also get the guy they need on defense. ED Jared Verse with, only 31 sacks last year 2nd to last in the league. The Bears have two chip players to help turn around this franchise like the Texans did last year.
18. (Trade) SEA- OT Graham Barton, Duke
The Seahawks get a versatile offensive linemen in Graham Barton. Someone who has played all 5 positions on the offensive line. this is important because the Seahawks are trying to replace 3 starting offensive linemen from last year.
19. LAR- ED Laiatu Latu, UCLA
This will be the first pick for the Rams since 2016 when they took QB Jared Goff. The Rams look to start life without Aaron Donald. I like Laiatu Latu out of UCLA. Latu stays close to home.
20. PIT- OT Amarius Mims, Georgia
The Steelers have taken care of the QB situation for now. New OC Arthur Smith looks to build this offensive line.
21. MIA- DT Jer'Zhan Newton, Illinois
Dolphins look to repl

With only a few days left until the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. I wanted to give you guys my mock draft 3.0 with some pretty interesting trade ideas. In each episode, I take you through every pick in the draft and tell you what I think will happen versus what I think the team will do. I'll breakdown every pick in the first round what I like and don't about the player. 
* I had to update some of the trades.

22. (Trade) JAX- CB Nate Wiggins, Clemson
Bears receive

17th overall pick
(212nd) 6th round pick

Jaguars receive

22nd overall pick
(129th) 4th round pick
(161st) 5th round pick

After trading back the Jags land themselves an athletic CB to add to this defense. Help cover the WRs in the AFC South (WR would be fun).

23. (Trade) LAC- OT JC Latham, Alabama
The Chargers with a bunch of draft picks and holes on this roster look to upgrade this offensive line under OC Greg Roman.

24. DAL- OT Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma
Dallas needs to nail this draft here. I think Dallas needs to consider moving out of the first round to collect more draft capital. General Manager Jerry Jones normally doesn't trade up or down in the draft and for the sake of Cowboys fans everywhere. I can't imagine there reaction if they do trade out. Nonetheless, Dallas looks to connote to rebuild there offensive line esipcally after losing future Hall of Fame Tyron Smith.

25. (Trade) DEN- QB Bo Nix, Oregon
Packers receive

12th pick
(121st) 4th round

Broncos recieve

25th overall pick
(58th) 2nd round pick
(96st) 4th round pick

The Broncos got exactly what they wanted and more. They got the QB they wanted and they added a couple draft picks to help build their roster. Zach Wilson isn't the answer. Bo is battle tested.

26. TB- C Jacksons Powers-Johnson, Oregon
The Bucs need some help at the IOL position. Back to back Oregon players here. Bucs adding center Jackson Powers-Johnson is a huge addition to an offensive line that needs to protect QB Baker Mayfield and help a 32nd ranked running game.

27. ARZ- ED Chop Robinson, Penn State
Cardinals need help all over the defense, but Head Coach Johnathan Gannon needs to find is stud edge rusher.

28. BUF- WR Brian Thomas Jr, LSU
Bills move up 4 spots to take the speedy WR out of LSU. Bills need to give Josh Allen a new target to help replace Stefon Diggs.

29. DET- ED Darius Robinson, Missouri
Now the home team. Last year the Lions moved all over the board. This year I think they stay put and add another EDGE rusher to go opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Darius is a very versatile EDGE rusher and should fit in nicely.

30. BAL- CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama
Ravens don't have a lot of needs but they need to fill out this roster. The Ravens could look to trade out of the first round to collect more draft capital, but I really like Kool-Aid McKinstry out of Alabama (Not just because of his name. This is a player that played one of the hardest positions in all of College Football. He's smart and a perfect fit for this Ravens defense.

31. SF- OT Jordan Morgan, Arizona
49ers reloaded this offseason. I like the options at IDL or CB here, but this offensive line needs an upgrade. They did return all 5 starters, but Jordan Morgan can make this offensive line better.

32. KC- DT Bryon Murphy II, Texas
WR makes a lot of sense here but I just love the value here. Adding Bryon Murphy II to pair up with the best defensive linemen in Chris Jones would be tough to defend. The Chiefs are a defense first team even with Patrick Mahomes. A lot of value in the WR position later in the draft.
