5 NFL teams that desperately need to strike gold in the 2024 NFL Draft

Teams who need an excellent 2024 NFL Draft

#3 - New York Giants

Los Angeles Rams v New York Giants

Following an impressive 2022 campaign under rookie HC Brian Daboll, where they won a playoff game, the New York Giants had an awful 2023 finish at 6-11.

This offseason will be a vital one for New York, with stars such as Saquon Barkley, Adoree Jackson, Xavier McKinney and Isaiah Simmons all due to become free agents.

Thankfully, due to their poor record in 2023, the New York Giants hold the 6th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

#2 - New England Patriots

New England Patriots Introduce Jerod Mayo as Head Coach

The New England Patriots are embarking on their first season without legendary HC Bill Belichick since 2000, and it may prove to be one of the most important in their history.

After a terrible 2023 where they finished 4-13, the Patriots hold the 3rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They're likely to select a quarterback, as the team looks to cut ties with both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. They may take one of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels, but whoever new HC Jerod Mayo ends up with, they'll need to be a success.

#1 - Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears v Green Bay Packers

After trading away the 1st overall pick to the Carolina Panthers prior to the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears hold both the 1st and 9th picks in the 2024 edition.

They ended 2023 with a 7-10 record, with new recruit DJ Moore having an excellent season alongside QB Justin Fields.

Owning two high draft picks makes for an interesting offseason for Chicago, as many are speculating that the team could move on from Fields.

Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels have all been touted as the best QBs in the draft, or the Bears may take a punt on potential superstar wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to give Fields another weapon in 2024.
