espn analytics returns its nfl draft day predictor ahead of 2024 nfl d

It’s almost time for the 2024 NFL draft, and ESPN Analytics today launched the latest edition of its NFL Draft Day Predictor. The NFL Draft Day Predictor is a tool developed by the ESPN Analytics team at ESPN that foresees the most likely landing spot(s) for NFL draft prospects based on the ESPN analytics model. The tool also showcases the likelihood of whether a player will still be available at a specific draft spot, and also provides live updates during the NFL draft to identify values and reaches. Available now, fans can go to espnanalytics.com to check out the tool. “The NFL Draft Day Predictor is a multi-use tool that adds a layer of storytelling to our content in and around the NFL draft,” said Allison Loucks, ESPN Director of Business Development & Innovation. “Not only that, though, our draft simulator allows fans to sit part of the action because they can play the role of GM, using the tool to run drafts, making picks and conducting trades.”

The ESPN NFL Draft Day Predictor will be featured across ESPN platforms during the 2024 NFL draft, which airs on ABC and ESPN beginning at 8 p.m. ET Thu., April 25, followed by 7 p.m. ET on Fri., April 26 and Noon ET, Sat., April 27. ESPN Deportes, ESPN Radio, ESPN social platforms and NFL Network will also have coverage of all three days of the draft. More on ESPN’s draft plans will be announced in the coming days. Let's predict the 2024 NFL draft, probabilistically.

That's the job of ESPN's Draft Day Predictor, our publicly available tool that uses expert mock drafts, Scouts Inc. grades and team needs to forecast pick probabilities for prospects in the upcoming draft. In other words, we can get a look at the range of selection outcomes for the best players and the chance they will be available at specific slots. With two days remaining before the Bears presumably select USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick, let's break down some key questions about the draft using the Draft Day Predictor. We'll look at who will go No. 2 overall, which wide receivers could be available for the Bills, whether Oregon QB Bo Nix or Washington QB Michael Penix Jr.

could fall deep into the second round and more. Plus, we'll look at who users are selecting using our NFL mock draft simulator in the form of a fan mock draft. Check out the Draft Day Predictor Use our mock draft simulator Jayden Daniels, though there's still a fair bit of uncertainty. The model gives the LSU quarterback a 49% chance to be the selection at No. 2, with North Carolina's Drake Maye at 21% and Michigan's J.J.

McCarthy at 15%, respectively. The remaining possibilities consist of Williams and Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. -- probabilities that are almost certainly inflated. Any model like this requires uncertainty, though there is little actual doubt that Williams will go No. 1 and the Commanders will take a QB at No. 2.

The model believes Daniels has the edge -- and he is probably an odds-on favorite if we mentally redistribute the Williams and Harrison probabilities -- but it's no slam dunk. The Chicago Bears are nearly on the clock at No. 1, kicking off the 2024 NFL draft. It will be the first of 257 total selections over a three-day period from Thursday to Saturday. The big questions heading into the draft: Which quarterback will the Commanders take at No. 2?

Will the Patriots trade the No. 3 pick or take a QB of their own? How many receivers will be taken in the first two rounds? Which teams could shake up the first round? To get you ready for all the action, here is a one-stop shop for everything you need to know about the draft -- times, location, draft order, top prospects, rankings, mock drafts, stats to... Read about the draft's best players, your team's pressing needs and how things might play out.

Let's start with some of the basics. Round 1: Thursday at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN, ABC, ESPN App, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network) Rounds 2-3: Friday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN, ABC, ESPN App, ESPN Radio, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network) Need Photos?
