With the 2024 NFL Draft approaching, mock drafts are evolving into their final form. After rounds and rounds of mock drafts going through their review period as information is leaked league-wide, it's safe to say some prospects still aren't being mocked in the right area.
It's all speculation at this point, but some educated guesses can hold a lot of weight in terms of the likelihood something will happen.

If Mel Kiper Jr. were to have predicted the entire 2024 NFL Draft in his newest Mock Draft, I'll bite my tongue. Since that probably won't be the case, however, here are the players being mocked much too high, or far too low.
