This is my last crack at projecting the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and I want to get it as (close to) right as possible. The problem? There's a giant game of quarterback musical chairs that's set to unfold, and at least one team is going to be left without a place to sit -- or at least one of the fancy chairs. I've typically resisted projecting trades in my final mock, knowing a lot of it was unlikely to ever come to fruition, but I am forgoing tradition and just throwing it all out there. In this version, I have three first-round trades projected because, well, all three just make sense to me, and there might even be a little smoke behind those fires. So, let's have at it one final time. This first round has a chance to be a whole lot of fun.
