Cecil Lammey’s one-and-only first-round mock of the 2024 NFL Draft

The 2024 NFL Draft is finally here! It’s my favorite time of year, and the draft is basically three days of Christmas in April for me. I look forward to this every year, and each year I do one mock draft.

I do not do any trades in this mock draft, but after the No. 1 overall pick, I think we could see two moves just within the top-five picks. The Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings are desperately looking to move up. The New England Patriots may be bluffing about their quarterback interest, and they – along with the Arizona Cardinals – may be willing to move back for the right haul.

As you can see, there is a ton of potential activity on Thursday. My mock won’t be 100 percent correct, but if I can get around 5-10 picks correct then I’ll be more than happy – and that would be better than most any other mock out there.

Here is my 2024 first-round mock draft. Enjoy.
