The NFL draft madness begins early in the final edition of the AP’s 2024 mock draft.
Eight trades in the first round. Two swaps in the top five. One team moves down and back up. Another makes three trades, going down twice before a move up to snatch a quarterback. A division champion trades out of the first round.
It’s no secret the Chicago Bears are taking Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner at USC has been ticketed for the top selection for months.
The Washington Commanders are expected to choose between LSU’s Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman winner, and North Carolina’s Drake Maye at No. 2.
Then, the New England Patriots are expected to take the remaining quarterback.
Or, will they?
Here’s the AP’s mock draft 3.0:
1. Chicago Bears: CALEB WILLIAMS, QUARTERBACK, USC
Williams is the consensus No. 1 pick. The Bears already traded away Justin Fields, their 2021 first-round pick, and now finally may have a long-term answer at the most important position.
