The 2023 NFL Draft is over, making it a great time to conduct The Sporting News' first of many mock drafts for the 2024 NFL Draft. Although the quarterbacks and rest of the current top prospects are hot now, it won't be long before the talk heats up regarding the best players available for next April 25 in Detroit. There's no question the Class of '24 comes out throwing fire with two players labeled as surefire superstars, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and USC quarterback Caleb Williams. Barring injury and major dropoff from elite play, they will be the 1-2 punch dominating the conversation. Beyond them, however, what kind of high-level help may be available, based on initial talent evaluations? Here are The Sporting News' way-too-early predictions for picks 1-32, reversing the Super Bowl 58 odds (per Bet MGM) and alternating the would-be playoff teams to project the first-round order:
