The 2024 NFL Draft begins this week, on Thursday, April 25, with the Chicago Bears set to make the first overall selection for the first time since 1947. The Bears had the first overall pick last year but traded it away to Carolina, with the Panthers selecting QB Bryce Young. Chicago got Carolina’s 2024 first round pick as part of that trade and will now select first overall this year after the Panthers finished with the worst record in the league last season.
Seven of the last nine first overall picks have been quarterbacks, and the Bears are expected to take QB Caleb Williams out of USC with the first pick this year. The Bears traded QB Justin Fields to the Steelers in March, signaling the start of a new era in Chicago. Williams highlights a draft class which includes QBs Drake Maye (UNC) and Jayden Daniels (LSU), as well as WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State), Malik Nabers (LSU) and Rome Odunze (Washington).
This year’s draft is being held around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan. The first round will take place on Thursday, April 25, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, April 26. The final four rounds will wrap up on Saturday, April 27. Below is the complete draft order for all 257 picks in all seven rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, including compensatory picks (denoted with an asterisk *).
