We are less than a week away from the 2024 NFL Draft, which means we are fully into “Draft SZN,” where there are so many rumors out there that all of our brains are being twisted into pretzels. So let’s get away from prognostication and trying to follow the speculation that’s been floating around and take a slightly different approach with this mock draft. Here, I’ll be using our consensus big board to make selections based on premier positions and positional needs based on my NFL Projection Model as if I were the general manager of every team. Yes, I can trade, and I tried to make them as realistic as possible. With that said, let’s get to it.
