The 2024 NFL Draft is approaching, and many experts are predicting which quarterbacks will be the highest-graded in various categories. According to PFF grading, Bo Nix from Oregon is currently leading the class with seven titles under his belt. Meanwhile, LSU's Jayden Daniels has shown off impressive arm talent and earned several other titles as well.
In terms of mock draft predictions, Bucky Brooks predicts that the Patriots will select J.J. McCarthy at QB1 and the Vikings will land Drake Maye to add another weapon to their offense. Other teams are also looking for specific types of players, such as an offensive tackle or a perfect fit for their existing lineup.
Overall, it's clear that quarterbacks are a top priority in this year's draft. With so many talented prospects available, it will be interesting to see how each team decides to use their picks.
Jerod Mayo could be looking to draft a quarterback as QB1.
Kyler Murray needs an athletic playmaker with A-plus arm talent and mobility to take his offense to another level.
Ryan Poles could add another weapon to the offense, such as Odunze or Kevin OConnell, who have two first-round picks.
Sean Payton and the Broncos need an impact edge defender on draft day.
The Vikings are looking for a perfect fit for their offense with Drake Maye's athleticism and winning pedigree.
Raheem Morris could prioritize landing an offensive tackle to complete his offseason makeover.
Aaron Rodgers is nearing the end of his career, so the Jets may opt to take a pass catcher who can dominate the middle of the field.
The Giants must add more explosive playmakers to their lineup if they remain committed to Daniel Jones.
