As of 8 p.m. ET tonight, it’s officially 2024 NFL Draft week. Well, it won’t really feel like that until Monday, but yes, we have made it. Sort of. One week out from Caleb Williams going No. 1 overall to the Bears then all hell breaking loose with what happens after that.
We are under the assumption the Commanders will pick Jayden Daniels at No. 2 overall. That’s not nearly as set in stone as Williams to Chicago, though. And it’s anyone’s guess as to what the Patriots do. Pick a quarterback. Or trade back. That’s when the draft really starts.
John Breech is getting a well-deserved break for the time being as we’ve rebranded the Pick Six newsletter through the end of April. I, CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Chris Trapasso, will be with you every step of the way. Honored.

All you have to do is click here and then share this link with them.
