Many have projected that three quarterbacks will be with the first three picks of the 2024 NFL. The Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and New England Patriots all look set on having new quarterbacks.
However, a new trend has the Patriots acquiring a quarterback via trade or free agency, meaning the most coveted player for Arizona Cardinals fans — Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. — is off the board when the Cardinals select fourth overall.
In his latest mock draft for NFL.com, draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah projects that exact scenario. The Bears and Commanders take quarterbacks, the Patriots take Harrison, leaving the Cardinals to make a decision. Do they pick or do they trade back?
They don’t trade back and LSU’s Jayden Daniels falls to the New York Giants with the sixth overall pick.
What happens with the Cardinals? Below are their two picks in the first round in these projections from Jeremiah.
