2024 NFL Mock Draft: J.J. McCarthy nearly falls out of top 10 while Vikings trade back twice; 6 QBs go Round 1

The NFL offseason is flying by, as we are now fewer than two weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft. This is a class that appears to be loaded with talent, but what about the quarterbacks? Is it deeper than people realize with players like Spencer Rattler and Joe Milton? How many signal-callers will go on opening night?

Here’s a brand new mock draft with a couple of interesting predictions. Seemingly everyone thinks the Minnesota Vikings will trade up for Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. What if McCarthy falls out of the top five, and the Vikings trade back … TWICE. We have wide receivers flying off the board, and some talented players falling a bit more than anticipated. Let’s jump in to something different.
