The 2024 NFL draft was the 89th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft was held at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan on April 25–27, 2024.[1] The draft had a peak attendance of 275,000, breaking the record set previously in 2019.[2]
A record six quarterbacks were selected in the first round — Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Michael Penix Jr., J. J. McCarthy, and Bo Nix — tying the amount from 1983. The six quarterbacks were within the first 12 picks, with five in the top 10. Conversely, for the first time since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger, no other quarterback would be selected until the fifth round.[3] Seven wide receivers were also selected in the first round, tying the amount from 2004.[2] In total, a record 23 offensive players were selected in the first round, including 14 consecutive to start the draft, another draft record.[3][4][5]
