Neil Dutton: “Based on team needs, here is my First Round no trades mock draft. Obviously, it gets blown out of the water as soon as the Vikings find their dance partner but, for now, this is a good team-to-fit selection for my limited money!”

PICK #1
CHICAGO BEARS
The Bears have done an admirable job setting the table for the quarterback they will select with the first overall pick. They signed running back D’Andre Swift and tight end Gerald Everett while also trading for veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen. Trading away Justin Fields shows that they are committed to trying yet again to land their franchise signal caller with the first of their two top ten selections, while the additions they have made should not stop them selecting a top tier wide receiver should one fall to them at nine.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
The Commanders added a lot of cheap veteran players to their roster during free agency. Marcus Mariota would seem to the quarterback if they had to play a game today, Austin Ekeler signed after spending his entire career to date as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers, Zach Ertz returns to the NFC East after spending his most productive years as a Philadelphia Eagle, while Bobby Wagner reunites with his old Seahawks coach Dan Quinn. The team can still anoint a new franchise quarterback with the second overall pick, but is screaming out for help across both lines.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
The Patriots are one of the most talent poor teams in the entire NFL, and seem to have needs everywhere. They added some veterans in free agency, but no one expects Jacoby Brissett to be the long-term answer at quarterback, nor do they think Antonio Gibson is the key to jump starting the Patriots offense. New head coach Jerod Mayo desperately needs to find the next franchise quarterback, but also needs to put an offensive line in front of that player and give him players to catch his passes. A trade down from the third overall pick to load up with more picks would not be a stunner.

ARIZONA CARDINALS
The Cardinals added several pieces to their defense in free agency, a unit that is sorely in need of reinforcing after a woeful first season under Jonathan Gannon. They also added Jonah Williams at offensive tackle, and it is the offensive side of the ball that could really stand the most investment during the draft. The team is woefully short of pass catching weapons, especially after Marquise Brown signed for the Chiefs in free agency and Rondale Moore was traded to the Falcons. Gannon and GM Monti Ossenfort are hardly lacking in picks, however.

Everything the Chargers have done this offseason suggests they want to become a physical, hard-nosed team on offense: from the hire of Jim Harbaugh to the signings of Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, and the trade or release of the team’s best wide receivers. As such, their focus should be on beefing up. The offensive line has long been an issue and one that should be addressed early and often in the draft, while they simply need to add some bodies at the wide receiver and tight end spots.

NEW YORK GIANTS
Financially, the Giants are committed to Daniel Jones at quarterback in 2024. Logically, they should not let money stop them from landing his replacement if the right guy falls to them in the draft. The offensive line continues to be a major area of concern whoever lines up under center, and the pass-catching corps is one of the weakest in the entire league. The Giants traded for Brian Burns, giving them a talented duo of pass rushers with Burns across from Kayvon Thibodeaux, but this team needs an almost complete offensive overhaul.

The Jets made some moves to improve the situation around the returning Aaron Rodgers, signing Tyron Smith to play left tackle while trading for Morgan Moses to fill the spot opposite him. These moves, plus the signing of wide receiver Mike Williams, gives the Jets flexibility to take the best available player in the early stages of the draft. A longer-term answer at offensive tackle might be a solid post-Rodgers move, while boosting the defensive backfield would make an already strong unit stronger.

The Broncos are, and have been since Peyton Manning retired, in desperate need of a long-term answer to their quarterback troubles. They pulled the plug on the Russell Wilson experiment after just two seasons, leaving them once again looking for a new face of the franchise. Jerry Jeudy was sent to the Browns for a couple of draft picks, leaving whoever the quarterback will be in 2024 a trifle short of viable receiving options. The Broncos defense improved as the 2023 season went on but could still stand an injection of youth on the edge and in the secondary, especially after releasing safety Justin Simmons.

The Raiders were active in free agency, and their roster certainly appears to be better today than it was in Week 18 of the 2023 season. But they still have serious needs, especially at the quarterback spot, with Gardner Minshew currently looking like being the starter. Assuming that the team is looking to add a quarterback, they could also look at investing across the offensive line to protect him, while adding a few pass catchers would certainly help whoever is under center in 2024. Christian Wilkins fills a huge hole at defensive tackle, but the defensive backfield could stand a talent injection.

The Colts look desperately short-handed at cornerback after failing to land La’Jarius Sneed, while reinforcements for the pass rush would be welcomed by Gus Bradley and his defensive staff.

They simply must invest in the front five to protect Geno Smith, who the team re-committed to during the offseason. Linebacker is also an area in need of reinforcements, especially with franchise icon Bobby Wagner now in Washington.

Geno Stone was added to the defensive backfield after a career season for the Ravens in 2023, but the Bengals could do with devoting some resources to the defensive line and, with their franchise quarterback in place, could also look to investing in players tasked to keep him upright.
