2024 NFL Draft: 6 QBs go in top 13, Jets trade up in Joel Klatt's mock draft

Draft week is here, and we'll finally start seeing players going to new homes.

Before that happens, it's time for one last mock draft. In my previous two mock drafts, I had six quarterbacks going in the first round. That hasn't changed in my final mock draft, but I've shuffled the landing spots of a few of them.

I'm excited for the 2024 NFL Draft, which I'll cover on NFL Network for the first two days.

As the final countdown is here, here's my last mock draft of the year.

2024 NFL Draft prospect rankings | Top 10 QB prospects | Top 10 RB prospects | Top 10 WR prospects | Top 10 TE prospects | Top 10 OT prospects | Top 10 IOL prospects | Joel Klatt's first mock draft | Joel Klatt's second mock draft

1. Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers ) — QB Caleb Williams , USC

We all know what's going to happen. Williams is going to a place where he's better suited to have success than Justin Fields was when he was drafted. I think Williams can have a lot of success in Chicago and I hope he does. This situation is pretty rare for a team to pick a quarterback at the top of the draft. 

2. Washington Commanders — QB Jayden Daniels , LSU

Personally, I would draft Drake Maye. However, there's too much smoke in NFL circles about Daniels going to Washington and how much some of these guys love the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. Part of that is because he's a safer pick. He might not have the overall ceiling that Maye has, but he's safer. I know Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury loves Daniels.

Daniels has the ability to run, which is a huge feather in his cap. Defensive coordinators will hate seeing that. He can also throw the ball well and can throw it
