For a handful of NFL franchises, the NFL Draft is the most important three-day stretch of the year.
It’s when teams can potentially shift their franchise from the league’s basement to a competent squad with a few talented rookies. It’s a major turning point, and NFL fans are aware how important each pick is.
Caleb Williams headlines the 2024 NFL Draft along with a strong quarterback class featuring Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy that all should land in the first round. Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix also may sneak into the first round.

The top picks and quarterbacks won’t be the only ones garnering attention following the draft. Teams are bound to reach for prospects, and some are destined to fall further than expected.
And, of course, Mr. Irrelevant will be a name to remember, especially since 2022 Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy has blossomed into a Pro Bowl quarterback.
Here is the pick-by-pick breakdown for the 2024 NFL Draft, from Rounds 1-7.

NFL Draft 2024 live news, updates from Rounds 1-7
5:41 p.m.: The Chiefs may move up from pick 32 in the first round and belief is it would be for a wide receiver, per James Palmer.
5:04 p.m.: The 49ers may move up in the first round in exchange for one of their top receivers Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk, per the Athletic’s Dianna Russini. It’s possible San Francisco moves into the top 10 with this move.
4:33 p.m.: The Giants are actively trying to trade up for a quarterback, per Connor Hughes.
The #Giants are actively trying to move up for a QB, I’m told. I’m just not sure they can pull it off.
If Odunze is gone I think the #NYJ will trade back. https://t.co/litrLe7AMG

4:27 p.m.: The Chicago Bears, who have the No. 1 and No. 9 picks, are fielding offers for the ninth pick in the draft, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source.

3:30 p.m. — It doesn’t seem like hugs will be on the menu for Roger Goodell in 2024. The NFL commissioner underwent back surgery three weeks ago, so we’ll have to wait and see how he feels when players start walking across the stage. Luckily for Goodell, there’s only 13 potential hugs to get through.

3:01 p.m. — Once we get past the first night, there is always some intrigue regarding who will announce the picks for Rounds 2-7. Wonder no more, since the NFL released the list.

1:44 p.m. — The Rams are set to make their first pick in the first round since 2016 and are looking to make a triumphant return by trading into the top-10, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
The Rams, who haven’t picked in the first round since 2016, are calling to get into the top 10, per sources.

12:50 p.m. — The Jets will be drafting a player at some point tonight. Who that is remains to be seen, but ESPN’s Rich Cimini has narrowed it down to about half the first round thanks to the possibility of a trade. In other words, stay tuned.
What I’m hearing on the #Jets (No. 10):
🏈They could pick anywhere from 8 (ATL) to 17 (JAX). There’s a chance they could move up or move down. If they go up, I believe it would be for Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze. If they go down, I suspect it would be for an OT.
🏈I do think…

12:09 p.m. — The rumors are swirling around New England today with the No. 3 pick being somewhat of a starting point for the 2024 NFL Draft. While the Patriots are seen as likely to take Maye, Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz says the Giants are making a push to land the selection for the UNC QB.
The #Giants have been trying to trade up to No. 3 with the #Patriots, with the belief being they want UNC QB Drake Maye, according to multiple league sources.

10:46 a.m. — NBC Sports Boston’s Tom E. Curran is making draft day a relatively stress-free experience for Patriots’ fans. The insider says that New England will take Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick unless they get an offer the team can’t refuse.
Expect the Patriots to take Drake Maye at number three tonight unless someone – Vikings or Giants – makes them an offer they just can’t refuse.
— Tom E. Curran (@tomecurran) April 25, 2024
10 a.m. — ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. says that Michael Penix Jr. won’t fall past the No. 13 pick. It continues a meteoric rise for the former Washington QB, who began the draft process with a lot less love from mock drafts.
