Follow live: See who joins the NFL’s 2024 Draft class in Rounds 2 and 3

In Sports
April 26, 2024

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and it was the most offensive-heavy first round in the history of the annual player selection meeting. 23 offensive players — highlighted by 14-in-a-row to start the draft — was an all-time record.

While there was little drama with the first pick, where Caleb Williams went to Chicago, heads turned at the tail end of the top 10 when the Atlanta Falcons picked quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the most surprising pick of the night. The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract earlier this offseason.

Quarterbacks also tied a record with six of them going in the first round, matching the legendary 1983 class. All of the quarterbacks went in the top 12, culminating with Bo Nix to Denver with that 12th pick.

Next up on Friday, are rounds two and three of the NFL Draft, and the Buffalo Bills have pick No. 33 overall, and will get the draft going again at 7 p.m. ET from Detroit.

  • Buffalo finally takes a WR after trading down twice during Round 1

  • Day Two of the NFL Draft is underway

    The Buffalo Bills have the first pick of the second round, No. 33 overall to get things started on Day 2.

    In Round 2, teams will have seven minutes to make their selection, as opposed to 10 minutes in Round 1. In Round 3, teams will have five minutes to make their selections.

    There are 32 selections in Round 2 and 37 in Round 3 this season because of compensatory selections awarded to teams who lost compensatory free agents during the off season. Those are determined by the NFL with a formula that considers salary, playing time and postseason honors of the player that left in free agency.

  • Who’ll rule the NFC North for the next few years?

    Detroit won the NFC North last year and is in the midst of a franchise renaissance. This comes as the other three teams in the division have now loaded up on potential superstars under center. Even with the Lions ruling the roost for the moment, could the Bears, Packers and Vikings be hot on their heels?

  • Kansas City adds speed to the WR room in Round 1

    The two-time degending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are already solidified among the league’s elite teams thanks to a once-in-a-generation quarterback/head coach pairing, but throughout the regular season K.C. did face some questions at wide receiver. While some of those were answered by the emergence of Rashee Rice, questions remain around his availability stemming from an off-season car crash he was involved in down in Texas.

    Even after adding Hollywood Brown before the Draft, K.C. spend a first round pick on the fasters player in the draft, Texas’ Xavier Worthy, and Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew weighed in on the champs’ pick.

  • Best players available on Day 2

    Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft are here, and there are still some big nsmae on the board for the second day of picks. Quarterback Spencer Rattler — who lost his starting job at Oklahoma to eventual No. 1 pick Caleb Williams before transferring to South Carolina — is just one of many big names still available. Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice has a full list, broken down by position, of the top stars still waiting to get their names called in Detroit on Friday.

  • Why the Atlanta Falcons’ selection of Michael Penix Jr. is bizarre

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 32 — Xavier Legette

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 76

    • School: South Carolina

    • Height: 6′ 1″

    • Weight: 221

    This is a fine pick for the Panthers. They probably didn’t need to trade up, but moving up one spot to secure your guy isn’t the worst move in the world. They also needed to add a bigger player to their wide receiver room. This is solid pickup for the Panthers who really needed juice on offense.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 31 — Ricky Persall

    • Draft Grade: D

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 85

    • School: Florida

    • Height: 6′ 1″

    • Weight: 189

    Huh? This pick seems a bit out of nowhere, especially considering no one really had Pearsall going at this point in the draft. Perhaps this is the 49ers bracing for a move at wide receiver, but Pearsall could have been had later than this.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 30 — Nate Wiggins

    • Draft Grade: B-

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 31

    • School: Clemson

    • Height: 6′ 1″

    • Weight: 173

    Baltimore definitely has a need for a cornerback, but it took a bit of a project at the position at this point in the draft. Wiggins is a rangy, fast corner, but he needs to add weight and strength before he can be a real contributor for the Ravens defense.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 29 — Tyler Guyton

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 37

    • School: Oklahoma

    • Height: 6′ 8″

    • Weight: 322

    The Cowboys needed a left tackle to develop and at least have a prospect now in Guyton. He’s got a bit of a way to go as far as technique is concerned, but the physical tools and frame to grow into something for the long term are there. Guyton might have a lower floor than some of the other tackle prospects, but the upside is still here.

  • The Buffalo Bills moved out of the first round entirely, trading the No. 32 pick to Carolina who selected a WR to add to Bryce Young’s arsenal

  • With questions surrounding a potential Brandon Aiyuk trade, the 49ers addressed their wide receiver room in Round 1

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 28 — Xavier Worthy

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 63

    • School: Texas

    • Height: 5′ 11″

    • Weight: 165

    The Chiefs add some speed to their wide receiver room and some playmaking for Patrick Mahomes. This does feel a tad redundant with Marquise Brown on the roster, but that’s only a one-year deal. Mahomes solves all problems, and having Rashee Rice on the roster is a nice changeup from the Brown and Worthy combo, but a 165-pound player in the first round is a bit of a tough sell.

  • The Ravens needed help on the backend on defense, and they were able to add elite speed and positional versatility

  • The Dallas Cowboys add to a recent string of first round picks on the offensive line that have hit — Tyron Smith (2011), Zach Martin (2014) — and hope they’ve found the next Pro Bowler on the O-Line

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 27 — Darius Robinson

    • Draft Grade: C

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 62

    • School: Missouri

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 285

    Robinson isn’t a bad player, but he’s not the most dynamic guy on the defensive line. He’s a steady player who should be a solid piece for the Cardinals’ defensive line rotation, but that’s not necessarily the type of player that feels like a need in the first round. Still, he’s someone that will help the Cardinals up front.

  • The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs moved up from No. 32 to No. 28 to take speedy WR Xavier Worthy in the wake of the potential legal trouble facing Rashee Rice stemming from a car crash in Texas

  • The Cardinals add to their pass rush group with another pick from an SEC school

  • The Buccaneers are set at the pivot for the first time since the retirement of Super Bowl center Ryan Jensen

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 25 — Jordan Morgan

    • Draft Grade: C+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 25

    • School: Arizona

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 311

    This is a very safe pick for the Packers. Morgan needs to develop some strength as he enters the NFL, but should have the footwork and skill to at least be a quality pass blocker. It just feels like there might have been more juice to squeeze here with some of the defensive players still on the board.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick Np. 25 — Graham Barton

    • Draft Grade: A

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 12

    • School: Duke

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 313

    Barton is a stud offensive lineman who can play all five positions up front. He was announced as a center, so he may wind up on the interior after playing left tackle at Duke, but he’s well-equipped for the move. He’s the most versatile lineman in the draft and the Buccaneers may have just gotten a steal.

  • The Packers, who’s pick was met with a chorus of boos in Detroit, beefed up their offensive line. Packers fans will get the chance to return the favor next year when the NFL Draft heads to Green Bay

  • Bo Nix is the most experienced starting quarterback in NCAA history with 61 starts under center at Auburn and Oregon, where he developed into a First-Team All-Pac-12 performer in his final year in Eugene, but what will his fit be like with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos? Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew talked about how Nix would fit as a replacement for Russell Wilson in the Mile High City.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 23 — Brian Thomas Jr.

    • Draft Grade: B+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 15

    • School: LSU

    • Height: 6′ 3″

    • Weight: 209

    The Jaguars get brownie points for trading down here. Thomas is an explosive wide receiver who has the physical frame that the Jaguars needed in their wide receiver room. Thomas is a bit raw on some of the finer points of wide receiver play, but there’s no doubting his potential to be a truly dynamic playmaker in the NFL.

  • Detroit got cheers from the hometown crowd when they traded up with the Cowboys to their defensive backfield

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 22 — Quinyon Mitchell

    • Draft Grade: A+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 13

    • School: Toledo

    • Height: 6′ 0″

    • Weight: 195

    This pick might be the steal of the draft when we look back. The Eagles just got a cornerback prospect who checks all the boxes that a team could want for a cornerback prospect — from production to athleticism. Mitchell is the exact type of prospect the Eagles needed to add and has real shutdown potential in the NFL.

  • Another LSU wide receiver goes in the first round and Trevor Lawerence has another weapon on the outside

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 21 — Chop Robinson

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 26

    • School: Penn St.

    • Height: 6′ 3″

    • Weight: 254

    Robinson is a raw pass rusher, but he’s found himself in a good spot playing for new Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Robinson has all the tools in the world to become an elite pass rusher in the NFL if he can get a few signature moves down. The Dolphins also have some nice insurance in case Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips have a slow return from injury.

  • Philadelphia addresses a huge need in their defensive backfield, taking the first corner back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft

  • The Miami Dolphins have added to their defensive front to replace Andrew Van Ginkel opposite Jaelan Phillips

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 19 — Jared Verse

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 21

    • School: Florida St.

    • Height: 6′ 4″

    • Weight: 254

    This is a very safe, solid pick for the Rams at this point in the draft. Verse is a high-floor player for the Rams that fits in well with the players they have up front. The Rams were looking at an offensive player earlier in the process, but they ended up with a stud pass rusher who immediately makes them better.

  • The Steelers have made their first round selection, and they’ve added to their offensive line to help protect new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields

  • Caleb Williams is already being welcomed to Chicago by another USC product who’s already a sports star in the city — six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 18 — Amarius Mims

    • Draft Grade: A+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 11

    • School: Georgia

    • Height: 6′ 8″

    • Weight: 340

    Love this pick! Mims did not play a whole bunch of football in college due to injury and depth, but he is not lacking for talent and skill. He has the size at 6-foot-8 and 340 pounds with the technique of the purest pass protectors in the NFL. If he can stay healthy, he’ll have no problem assimilating to the NFL.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 17 — Dallas Turner

    • Draft Grade: B+

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 14

    • School: Alabama

    • Height: 6′ 3″

    • Weight: 247

    Turner’s draft slide officially comes to an end with the Vikings trading up to get him in an effort to replace Danielle Hunter. Turner isn’t a finished product, but he’s a rugged defender that managed to run a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He’s got the potential to be a dynamite edge defender in the NFL.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 16 — Byron Murphy II

    • Draft Grade: A

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 19

    • School: Texas

    • Height: 6′ 1″

    • Weight: 297

    The Seahawks got one of the few truly disruptive interior defenders in the draft with Murphy — something they really needed. Murphy has the talent to become a star in Mike Macdonald’s defense and gives the Seahawks a credible option up front in case Dre’Mont Jones struggles again in his second year with the team.

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 23

    • School: UCLA

    • Height: 6′ 5″

    • Weight: 259

    This is a good landing spot for Latu. He’s had some injury concerns in the past, but Latu is a productive, versatile edge rusher that profiles as a high-floor player. He might not be Von Miller or prime Khalil Mack, but he’s a talented player in his own right that should be an 8-10 sack guy in the NFL.

    • Draft Grade: B

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 18

    • School: Oregon St.

    • Height: 6′ 6″

    • Weight: 324

    The Saints needed an offensive lineman with the struggles of Trevor Penning and Ryan Ramczyk’s injury situation. Fuaga can play tackle or guard and will be a big boost for the Saints in the ground game. This is a strong pick that gives the Saints some much needed flexibility and depth up front.

  • Defense finally matters! The Indianapolis Colts, who are ready to get franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson back in the fold, make the first defensive selection of the 2024 NFL Draft.

  • For the first time since 1999, Bill Belichick isn’t pulling the levers in the New England Patriots’ war room on draft day, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t weighing in on the Pats picks. The six-time Pats’ Super Bowl winning head coach was lukewarm on New England’s first round selection of North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick in the first round.

  • The NFL Draft is not just an annual showcase of the top college football talent making the jump to the NFL, but its also a look at the fashion trends that the young players turning pro are bringing to the league. So who stole the show and achieved “Drip God” status in Detroit? Yahoo Sports takes a look at the best dressed players at the NFL Draft in 2024.

    • Draft Grade: B-

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 4

    • School: Georgia

    • Height: 6′ 3″

    • Weight: 243

    This is a bit of a surprise at this point because the Raiders just drafted Michael Mayer last year, but it’s hard to get too mad at adding a talent like Brock damn Bowers. The Raiders’ two-tight end personnel sets are going to be a beast and they’ll be in good position to make life easier for whoever is playing quarterback for them this year.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 12 — Bo Nix

    • Draft Grade: F

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 64

    • School: Oregon

    • Height: 6′ 2″

    • Weight: 217

    Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.

  • Expert Commentary: Pick No. 11 — Olu Fashanu

    • Draft Grade: A-

    • Pre-Draft Rank: 6

    • School: Penn St.

    • Height: 6′ 6″

    • Weight: 312
