The NFL draft is the place where one right move or wrong move can make or break a franchise for years to come. But it’s also a place where teams take risks in hopes of landing that franchise-altering player that changes things for the better. We’re going to explore such a risk in this 2024 NFL mock draft, which includes a blockbuster trade at the top of the draft board. There has been plenty of speculation about a possible trade involving the top-three picks with three potential franchise quarterbacks up for grabs early. Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels are all high-end prospects that could get dangled like carrots to quarterback-needy teams aiming to trade up.
