The 2024 NFL Draft week is here, and Round 1 begins on Thursday, April 25 in Detroit. By the end of the three-day draft, 257 NFL prospects will have traded their college jerseys for professional ones.
Brock Bowers, tight end from Georgia, is expected to be drafted among the top 15 prospects. Bowers had an outstanding performance at Georgia, winning the nation's top tight end recognition, the John Mackey award, and becoming the first player to win it in back-to-back seasons. Bowers led the Bulldogs with 56 receptions, 714 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns in the 2023-24 season.

Brock Bowers 2024 NFL draft predictions
Jordan Reid, ESPN: New York Jets, No. 10 overall pick
Reid writes: "It's a tough call between an offensive tackle and an offensive playmaker. New signee Tyron Smith has been injury prone over the past two seasons, leaving the door open to take an OT here. But the pressure to win next season is at an all-time high in New York, as Aaron Rodgers returns from an Achilles injury at age 40. Bowers would give him an immediate top-tier option in the passing game behind Garrett Wilson, and the Jets would love his after-the-catch ability."

Bucky Brooks, NFL.com: New York Jets, No. 10 overall pick
Brooks writes: "Operating in win-now mode with Aaron Rodgers at age 40, the Jets snag a big-bodied pass catcher with the capacity to dominate the middle of the field."
Josh Edwards, CBS Sports: New York Jets, No. 10 overall pick
Josh Edwards writes: "New York will be faced with a decision to go all in to potentially win a championship now or plan for the future. Selecting an offensive tackle would be a nod to the future while the selection of Brock Bowers is a win-now move."
James Boyd, The Athletic: Indianapolis Colts, No. 15 overall pick
James Boyd writes: The football gods finally answered the Colts’ prayers — or I just hit refresh on the mock draft simulator three times until Bowers was still on the board at No. 15. In other words, this is an absolute best-case scenario for Indianapolis."
