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."
