The opening round of the 2024 draft will always be remembered for beginning with an unprecedented string of 14 consecutive offensive selections — including six quarterbacks among the first dozen picks. According to NFL Network, that was the longest run of offensive (or defensive) players in any part of any draft… ever.
But this wasn’t unexpected, because only four defensive players were among the top 14 in our original consensus draft prospect ranking. Things started getting out of hand with two big reaches for quarterbacks.
With the eighth pick, the Atlanta Falcons selected Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. 25 spots ahead of expectation. Oregon quarterback Bo Nix was almost as big a stretch for the Denver Broncos, who acquired him 19 picks early with the 12th selection.
Everyone had expected Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt to be taken by the Tennessee Titans with the seventh pick — but after the Los Angeles Chargers acquired Alt with the fifth selection, the Titans reached 14 spots to get Alabama tackle J.C. Latham. At 31, the San Francisco 49ers also landed Florida wideout Ricky Pearsall 14 picks early.
With the 25th pick, the Green Bay Packers took Arizona tackle Jordan Morgan 11 spots ahead of expectation — and then after trading into the last selection of the night, the Carolina Panthers reached 10 positions to get South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ acquisition of Texas wideout Xavier Worthy at 28 was seven picks earlier than expected.
But teams got some good values, too The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions got the draft’s top two corners a dozen spots later than expected by taking Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama’s Terrion Arnold with the 22nd and 24th picks. The Minnesota Vikings got a deal on the draft’s top EDGE — Alabama‘s ninth-ranked Dallas Turner — with the 17th selection.
Good values remain available. Six players with first-round rankings will still be on the board when the second round begins on Friday night.
The Chiefs now have six picks remaining:
Enjoy the second and third rounds on Friday night — and we’ll be back with an updated consensus ranking on Saturday morning.
