The first night of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books. It was a very exciting and historical night.
This draft set and tied several records in the common draft era that started in 1967. It set the record for the most offensive players drafted in the first round. It tied the record for the most quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 1983. But it set the record for six quarterbacks drafted in the first twelve picks.
It also set the record for have the first defensive player being draft at the 15th spot by the Colts, which is the latest by far for a defensive player.
There were also five trades made during the first round. The Minnesota Vikings traded up twice in the first round and the Buffalo Bills traded down twice in the first round.
This was one crazy week in the NFL. This week rankings will be much different than last week. Who would have guessed that Aaron Rodgers would have gone down on the 4th snap of the season.
