The 2024 NFL draft was the 89th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft was held at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit on April 25–27, 2024.[1] The draft had an attendance of over 775,000, breaking the overall record previously set in 2019.[2]
Six quarterbacks were selected in the first round—Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr., J. J. McCarthy, and Bo Nix—tying the record from 1983. The six were within the first 12 picks, with five in the top 10. Conversely, for the first time since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger, no quarterbacks were selected in the second through fourth rounds.[3] Seven wide receivers were also selected in the first round, tying the record from 2004.[4] A record 23 offensive players were selected in the first round, including 14 consecutive offensive players to start the draft.[3][5][6]
