2024 NFL Draft First Round Highlights

The first round began the way we thought it would with the Chicago Bears taking Caleb Williams from USC. At number four, the Arizona Cardinals held on to their pick and selected talented wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. out of Ohio State.

One of the most shocking picks in the first round was at number 8 overall when the Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. from Washington. This offseason, the Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a 4-year deal worth $180 million so it will be interesting to see how they handle this moving forward.

The first 14 picks of the 2024 NFL Draft belonged to offensive players before the Indianapolis Colts selected edge rusher Laiatu Latu from UCLA at no. 15 overall. The Minnesota Vikings moved up twice in the draft via trade to select QB JJ McCarthy at no. 10 overall and edge rusher Dallas Turner at no. 17 overall.
