We’re looking at the first-round 2024 NFL mock draft projection for all 32 teams ahead of the Scouting Combine
Philadelphia made significant changes to the coaching staff following a historic collapse that saw the Eagles lose 6 of their final seven games.
The positive vibes are back around the NovaCare Complex following the additions of Vic Fangio (DC) and Kellen Moore (OC).
It’s never too early to look ahead at the NFL draft, and with so many holes on defense, Howie Roseman has the assets to retool the roster.
With a massive week of scouting and pre-free agency discussions set to begin, we’re projecting the first round of April’s NFL draft for all 32 teams.

Several Texas players can raise their draft stock at the NFL combine.
The NFL combine is under a week away, and several Texas Longhorns football players have plenty to gain at the showcase. The team has 11 players set to compete in a series of events that give tangible measurements on players’ athleticism.
The combine is set to take place Feb. 26-March 4. Defensive tackles and linebackers start competing at 2 p.m. CT on Feb. 29. Defensive backs and tight ends will compete on March 1, quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers will participate March 2 and offensive linemen will take part on March 3.
Defensive tackles T’Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy will join linebacker Jaylan Ford on Feb. 29 with high stakes on the line. Ford was thought to be the best prospect of the bunch heading into the season, but Sweat and Murphy have become early potential picks in their own right.
Wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell have plenty on the line in the showcase. Worthy will have an opportunity to separate from the pack with a strong 40-yard dash time. His draft position could rely heavily on it.
Mitchell, who many view as a potential first- or second-round draft pick, can confirm positive views about his ability with a good showing in early March.
Texas will look to put up several draft picks in its best NFL draft class in recent memory.
The best tackle tandem in the country.

Former Saints draft pick and Alabama football star Vinnie Sunseri has taken a high-profile college coaching job at Washington:
Here’s some good news for a former New Orleans Saints draft pick: Vinnie Sunseri has taken a high-profile college coaching job as the Washington Huskies safeties coach, where he’ll be tasked with developing the next generation of defensive backs at a West Coast powerhouse with national championship ambitions.
Things have come full circle. Sunseri was a standout at Alabama during his own college playing career, and Alabama’s decision to hire Washington’s former head coach Kalen DeBoer led to a lot of turnover for the Huskies coaching staff.
Sunseri, 32, was picked by the Saints in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL draft. But he struggled to get on the field after dealing with a series of injuries. He finished his NFL playing career with the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers.
After hanging up his cleats, Sunseri began a coaching career at Alabama as a graduate assistant; he returned to the Patriots in 2020 to get more experience, where he first worked with the defense before moving to the offensive side of the ball for three years coaching running backs. Now he’s going back to his roots with much more responsibility under new Washington head coach Jedd Fisch.
The job comes with high expectations. Washington is fresh off a national title bid, and the school has sent many defensive backs to the NFL draft in recent years; Trent McDuffie and Kyler Gordon were both top-50 picks in 2022, while Elijah Molden was selected at No. 100 overall (followed by Keith Taylor in the fifth round) in 2021. Byron Murphy and Taylor Rapp were each second-round picks in 2019 with Jordan Miller also drafted in the fifth round. Sunseri will be charged with recruiting and developing players to follow in their footsteps. Good luck to him.
