The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books.
This year’s class is brimming with elite talent all over the field, but it was offence that ruled the draft stage Thursday night. Of the 32 players selected in the first round, a record 23 suit up on offence. Quarterbacks were the biggest story, with six selected within the first 12 picks — another NFL record.
While trade rumours ruled the lead-up to draft night, Thursday didn't pack quite as much drama as was projected. But there were still plenty of moments that garnered big reactions around the league — including a few head-scratchers.
