2024 NFL Mock Draft: QBs go early, receivers fall

Quarterbacks go early and runs on offensive line and wide receiver dominate Tyler Forness’ mock draft

The 2024 NFL draft season has been going since May 1st, 2023 but it’s been kicked up a notch with the Minnesota Vikings eliminated from the playoffs and all of the focus being toward 2024.

Each Wednesday, Vikings Wire will be bringing you a mock draft. Why are we doing them with such regularity? It’s about presenting different situations. Everyone thinks they know what will happen with the NFL draft but there is something that happens each year that throws a wrench into what you think will happen.

Throughout the next four months, players will rise and fall up the draft board and that is very natural. What we will do with each of these mock drafts is show you how the draft might go if it were to happen that day. Most of these picks will be wrong but it’s more of a critical thinking exercise than anything.

Without further ado, here is my first mock draft of the 2024 NFL draft cycle.
