Everything to know about the 2024 NFL Draft
By Josh Edwards
• 2 min read
The 2024 NFL Draft is officially here! The first round kicked off Thursday nightas a record number of offensive players came off the board, and the action will continue through Saturday as 257 young men will hear their names called as professional football players.
On Thursday night, the first several picks went as expected before things started to go off the rails. By far, the biggest surprise of Round 1 was the Atlanta Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick despite recently signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal. Another huge surprise was six quarterbacks being selected in Round 1 (an NFL record) and the first 14 picks being spent on offensive players (another record).
While Round 1 is in the books, we've got two more days of draft coverage in front of us. Here's everything you need to know about the next two days of the 2024 NFL Draft:
