2024 NFL Mock Draft: Predictions for Next Year's Top Prospects

Zach BuckleyApr 29, 2023

The NFL draft is all about looking forward.

We're just peeking a bit further down the line than most here and already taking an early look at next year's draft class.

We'll use the latest Super Bowl odds from DraftKings Sportsbook to set the order, then after mapping out a mock first round, we'll take a closer look at the top two prospects on the board. Since we're projecting so far into the future, we'll focus more on prospect values than team needs.

Fresh off a Heisman Trophy win, Caleb Williams is in pole position to lead the 2024 NFL draft class. As long as he stays healthy, he'll have an excellent chance to stick in that spot.

"He's able to throw guys open rather than just throwing to spots," one NFL executive told SI.com's Albert Breer. "He also has a great feel for the game; he doesn't get the offense in trouble. He takes what is there, makes the drive-starting throws. Lots of [Patrick] Mahomes in his game."

A Mahomes comparison is about the highest praise a quarterback prospect can get, but Williams deserves the hype.

His award-winning 2022 campaign was a jaw-dropper. He threw for 4,537 yards and 42 touchdowns (against just five interceptions) while rushing for another 10 scores. He could be the league's next superstar signal-caller.

Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

Marvin Harrison Jr. is the son of Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. It's possible the son will outproduce the father.

That sounds all kinds of hyperbolic—Harrison Sr. had 14,580 regular-season receiving yards and 128 touchdowns over the course of his career—but most every comment connected to Harrison Jr. rings that way.

"He's not pretty good. He's comically good," one NFL scout told The Athletic's Zac Jackson.

The Buckeyes had a ton of NFL talent on this past season's roster, but Harrison may have shined the brightest. He caught 77 passes for 1,263 yards and 14 scores.
