The latest 2024 NFL mock draft from CBS has Jayden Daniels taken ahead of Caleb Williams

This feels like it would be an NFL Draft surprise in 2024.

Sure, Jayden Daniels won the Heisman Trophy in 2023, but we’ve seen plenty of players who won the award go below others in NFL Drafts for one reason or another.

Daniels didn’t appear in the latest NFL mock draft from our Christian D’Andrea, but in the new CBS Sports mock draft, Chris Trapasso has North Carolina QB Drake Maye going first overall to the Chicago Bears (and a Justin Fields trade!) and Daniels going second to the New England Patriots.

Where’s USC’s Caleb Williams? No. 6 to the Las Vegas Raiders. Here’s what Trapasso wrote about having Daniels go at No. 2 overall:

Surprise! The Patriots go with Daniels over Caleb Williams as the second quarterback off the board. Daniels is an athletic marvel with two years of high-caliber passing productivity in the SEC.
