LSU QB Jayden Daniels to Commanders
Marvin Harrison to Chargers
The 2024 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and with pro-day season coming to a close, it's time for analysts like Charles Davis to take another crack at projecting Round 1. In this mock draft, Davis predicts that LSU QB Jayden Daniels will be taken by the Commanders with their first pick. He also notes that Harrison will be the first non-QB off the board in this scenario and JJ McCarthy is still a prime spot for Michigan QB but he's not taken here. Additionally, Davis predicts that Marvin Harrison will be taken by the Los Angeles Chargers at pick 5, Bo Nix, quarterback, Oregon will be taken by the Denver Broncos at pick 12 and Terrion Arnold, cornerback, Alabama will be taken by the Las Vegas Raiders at pick 13. He also notes that teams like Vikings or Raiders may move up in trades but he's keeping everyone in their current draft slots for this mock draft.
