2024 NFL Draft: Bold Predictions and Surprising Trades

The 2024 NFL Draft is finally upon us, and with it comes a flurry of rumors, reports, and downright speculation. As we count down the hours until the draft, we’re making some bold predictions and exploring surprising trades that could shake up the first round.

Quarterback Shuffle

Our first bold prediction: the Commanders pass on Jayden Daniels at No. 2. Instead, the Patriots take J.J. McCarthy over Jayden Daniels, leaving the Giants to trade up to draft Jayden Daniels. But that’s not all - the Jets trade up, but not for a pass catcher. Michael Penix Jr. stays in Washington, and the Seahawks surprise everyone with a bold move.

Trade Frenzy

The Steelers have long been rumored to be interested in Brandon Aiyuk, and trading the No. 20 pick for him would be good business. The Falcons, meanwhile, might be looking to trade back, and the Saints or Patriots could be interested in making a move.

The Vikings, armed with multiple picks, might trade up to No. 3 to snag a quarterback. The Patriots, meanwhile, could kick-start their rebuild with multiple impact players in year one.

Chargers Eye Joe Alt

According to insiders, the Chargers are heavily linked to Joe Alt, the top offensive tackle prospect available. With the No. 5 overall pick, the Chargers could snag Alt, who would be a huge upgrade over Trey Pipkins.

Alt could be the Chargers’ top pick

The Chargers have a ton of needs on both sides of the ball, and with teams like the Vikings, Broncos, and Raiders potentially looking to trade up and select a quarterback, trading down from No. 5 is a viable option. But if Jim Harbaugh has his heart set on Alt, the Chargers will probably have to stay at No. 5 and take him.

Conclusion

The 2024 NFL Draft is full of surprises, and our bold predictions are just the beginning. With trades, quarterback shuffles, and surprising picks, this draft is shaping up to be one for the ages.
