Harmon’s 2024 First-Round Mock Draft
The long lying season has finally come to a conclusion. No, I’m not suggesting that there aren’t a number of false starts and bogus reports (beware spoof accounts) still to come. But, the countdown clock is on … and soon enough, Caleb Williams will become the next in a long line of Chicago Bears Quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks have been the story of the offseason, be it the fights over next contracts (Hello, Dallas) or the order and number of Quarterbacks to be selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft. We’ve read myriad reports and critiques, including a number that didn’t quite land as anticipated. I mean – Williams as Prince? That’s a bad thing?
Anyway, I did my annual dart-throwing with the same rules I apply each year. Though I know there will be a number of trades, I play to the established order. The goal is to match players with the proper team by the time the three-day soirée concludes.
