Dreams become reality and legends could potentially begin to bloom as the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. There is no drama with the 1st overall pick, but you could argue that it’s a crapshoot for the next 5 picks. Will there be chaos as teams feverishly try to trade up to beat out the fray? If there were a year that a team approaches that “Godfather” offer Washington traded to St. Louis to take Robert Griffin III No. 2 overall in 2011, this could be it. Could the Washington Commanders be on the other end of that pendulum now?
Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'NFL Draft odds'for NFL prospects and tab the best bets for who will be the No. 5 overall pick — just one of many SportsbookWire’s expert NFL picks and predictions.
I wrote a Mock Draft for SportsBookWire’s brother site The Huddle a couple of weeks ago, and I predicted 2 teams jumping up to 3 and 4 to select quarterbacks. The Los Angeles Chargers own the 5th selection, and a lot of things could transpire according to what happens with picks 2-4. Will the Chargers make this selection, or will someone take who they’re targeting, which forces their hand to move down?
