Everything written here will be extremely irrelevant in just a few hours, that is true. And NFL mock drafts are essentially just fan fiction for sports nerds, as I’m well aware. So, I’m not going to pretend this is something greater than what it is. But for exactly that reason, I also had quite a bit of fun with it, and I hope you did, too.
Here’s my final (and only) 2024 NFL Mock Draft.
