2024 NFL mock draft: Reid predicts seven rounds, 257 picks - ESPN

Editor's note: We updated late-round picks Monday afternoon off the Broncos' trade for quarterback Zach Wilson.

It's officially NFL draft week. Round 1 kicks things off Thursday night (8 p.m. ET on ESPN/ABC), Rounds 2-3 follow Friday (7 p.m. ET) and Rounds 4-7 close it out Saturday (noon ET). In all, 257 prospects will hear their names called over the three days. So why not project every single selection here in my final mock draft for this cycle?

I ultimately found landing spots for 11 quarterbacks, including the first overall pick and the Mr. Irrelevant selection. If you need a receiver, you're in luck, too — 35 of them made this seven-round mock draft. And because we will undoubtedly see a bunch of moves around the draft board, I projected six trades on Day 1.

So here are my predictions for Rounds 1-7. I provided complete breakdowns for the first three rounds then picked my favorite fit in each Day 3 round. (Compensatory picks are denoted with an asterisk.)

Easy pick.

Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

This pick will likely come down to Daniels and UNC's Drake Maye. But considering the Commanders' veteran additions this offseason, they seem to believe they can win right now while still establishing a
