2024 NFL Draft Order: First-Round Picks, Post-Free Agency Team Needs
A team-by-team breakdown of what everyone needs in the 2024 NFL Draft, plus the full seven-round draft order - all 257 picks!
Mark your calendars and set your alarms, folks, because the grand spectacle of the 2024 NFL Draft is nearly upon us. When the clock strikes 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 25, the sports world will turn its eager eyes to the kickoff of this football fiesta. The opening act? None other than the thrilling Round 1, where dreams come true and legends begin their journey.
When the dust settles from the night's excitement, we reconvene for a double feature on Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m. ET for Rounds 2 and 3.
And for the grand finale, on Saturday, April 27, at noon ET, Rounds 4 through 7 will unfold, bringing our epic draft saga to a close. It's a marathon of talent-spotting, deal-making, and future-building that you won't want to miss.
I'm diving deep into the playbook to break down the needs of each team at each pick. The pre-draft period has been nothing short of a blockbuster, with a whirlwind of moves reshaping the player landscape faster than a plot twist in a season finale.
My mission? To cut through the fog of war and shine a spotlight on which direction each team might lean with their coveted first-round pick. Also included is the full draft order as of Tuesday, April 2, at 10 a.m. ET.
