2024 NFL draft: Debating need, value for 32 Round 1 picks

Let's be clear: This isn't a mock draft. It isn't a projection of what each team will actually do in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Instead, it's a look at which prospects might make sense -- and should still be on the board -- at each slot based on two very different draft room strategies: picking to fill a huge team need and picking based on "best player available."

Ideally, NFL teams try to marry the two concepts when making selections in Round 1 -- addressing a need without reaching is how teams win on draft night.
