The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and it was the most offensive-heavy first round in the history of the annual player selection meeting. 23 offensive players — highlighted by 14-in-a-row to start the draft — was an all-time record.
Quarterbacks also tied a record with six of them going in the first round, matching the legendary 1983 class. All of the quarterbacks went in the top 12, culminating with Bo Nix to Denver with that 12th pick.
Next up on Friday, are rounds two and three of the NFL Draft, and the Buffalo Bills have pick No. 33 overall, and will get the draft going again at 7 p.m. ET from Detroit.

The Steelers needed some wide receiver depth and they got it, but they might have been better served finding a bigger play wide receiver. Still, Wilson will learn quickly with the big target vacuum he’s walking into.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 83 — Blake Corum
Draft Grade: C+
Pre-Draft Rank: 86
School: Michigan
Height: 5′ 8″
Weight: 205
Corum is a good player, no doubt, but this feels like a weird fit with what Kyren Williams brought to the team last season. Still, a 1-2 punch with Williams and Corum behind a revamped offensive line might rake for the Rams.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 82 — Tip Reiman
Draft Grade: C+
School: Illinois
Height: 6′ 5″

Good, big athlete for the Cardinals to pair with Trey McBride. This is the thunder to McBride’s lightning.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 81 — Christian Haynes
Draft Grade: A+
Pre-Draft Rank: 30
School: Connecticut
Height: 6′ 3″
Weight: 317
Haynes is a STUD. The Seahawks might have a rookie starting guard in the third round who excels just about everywhere. This is a fantastic pickup.
