This type of mock draft is really more of an exercise than an actual prediction. Before the 2023 declaration deadline, it is near impossible to know how many eligible players will go back to school. So, to focus my evaluations of true 2nd year college players, I try to piece together a 2024 mock draft. A few caveats:
- This is ONLY 2nd year players (from the 2021 recruiting class)
- Mock Draft order is approx. the current NFL order
- What teams may do in 2023 is basically ignored (in terms of needs, FA, draft, etc)
- Many of these players have barely (or not even) played. I utilize this mock draft to see when positions fall off when effective players to ineffective players to players who haven’t played (but were top high school recruits, so they may appear in this mock draft)
I’ll be tweeting about my mock draft, fantasy football, and the NFL Draft for the totality of the football year @ShanePHallam as well as @Draftcountdown.Â
