The NFL season is officially over, and now it's time to start looking ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft. With the NFL combine set to take place from February 26 through March 4, and the official draft set for April 25, the 2024 NFL Draft is right around the corner.
This is the perfect time to start mock drafting to see who your favorite team might select in the first couple of rounds. The Chicago Bears will have the first overall pick in this year's draft. But they could go many different routes, including trading back, taking quarterback Caleb Williams, or selecting wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Bears will also have another pick at ninth overall, putting them in the driver's seat in the 2024 NFL Draft with two picks in the top 10. But which teams have the most picks in this year's draft, and which teams have the least? Let's dive in and find out.

Teams With The Most Draft Picks (With Expected Compensatory Picks)
Arizona Cardinals (13)
The Arizona Cardinals will enter the 2024 NFL Draft with the most draft picks at 13. After trading out of the third spot in last year's draft, the Houston Texans gave Arizona future draft picks in this year's draft, including a first-round pick (27th) and a third-round pick (90th).
That gives the Cardinals six picks inside the top 90, including the fourth overall pick. What Arizona plans to do with that pick remains a mystery, but selecting the best wide receiver prospect in Harrison Jr. seems like the most logical selection for a team that doesn't need a quarterback.
Which team will draft Marvin Harrison Jr.?

San Francisco 49ers & Green Bay Packers (11)
Both the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are projected to have 11 picks in the upcoming draft. Green Bay will have the better picks as they will have two second-round picks (one from the Aaron Rodgers trade) and two third-round picks (one from the Rasul Douglas trade). Green Bay should also gain three compensatory picks, per Over the Cap.
As for the 49ers, they will first pick at 31st and again at the end of the second round. But they should gain four compensatory picks in this year's draft, including an extra third-round pick with Jimmy Garoppolo leaving. They also gained an extra fourth-round pick from the Cowboys in the Trey Lance trade this past season.
Others to Note: Washington Commanders (nine total, six in the top 105)
Teams With The Least Draft Picks (With Expected Compensatory Picks)
Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos (6)
All four of these teams are expected to have the fewest amount of draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft at six. The Bears, though, are still in the best spot with two picks in the top nine, including the number one overall pick. But after that selection, they won't pick again until the third round because they sent a second-round pick to Washington in the Montez Sweat deal.
The Chicago Bears are on the clock ... what should they do?

The Broncos (12th) and Dolphins (21st) still have their first-round picks, while the Panthers will first pick at 33rd after giving up their 2024 first-round pick in last year's draft for quarterback Bryce Young. All four of these teams are also not expected to gain any compensatory picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, which explains why they might have the fewest draft picks.
