The 2024 NFL Draft kicked off with a bang as a record-breaking 23 offensive players were selected in the first round, including a streak of 14 consecutive offensive players to start the draft. The excitement continued as six quarterbacks were taken in the first round, tying a record set by the legendary 1983 class.
The Chicago Bears made a predictable choice with the first overall pick, selecting Caleb Williams. However, the Atlanta Falcons surprised everyone by picking quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the top 10, despite signing Kirk Cousins to a massive contract earlier in the offseason.
As the draft moves into the second and third rounds, the Buffalo Bills hold the 33rd overall pick and will kick off the action at 7 p.m. ET from Detroit. Fans can catch all the action live on NFL Network, ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes, or stream it on platforms like ESPN+, YouTube TV, Hulu+ Live TV, Sling TV, and Fubo TV.
The draft is being held in downtown Detroit, near Ford Field, home of the Lions. With plenty of talent still available on Day 2, teams will have the opportunity to add more impact players to their rosters. Stay tuned for more updates and expert commentary as the 2024 NFL Draft continues to unfold.
