The Excitement Ahead of the 2024 NFL‌ Draft: Top⁢ Storylines to Watch

The anticipation for the 2024 NFL Draft is building as fans eagerly await the fate of top quarterback‌ prospects and the ripple effect​ their decisions will have on the ⁤rest of the draft. As the owner ‌and author of this​ article, Kosport Magazine brings you​ the top five storylines to keep an eye on leading up to this month’s draft.

1. Will Teams Trade ‌Up for ⁣a Quarterback?

The top three picks in ⁢the draft are expected to be quarterbacks, leaving teams like the‍ Vikings, Raiders, and Broncos to potentially trade up⁢ for‌ their own signal caller. With the possibility of a run on quarterbacks early in the draft, the odds⁢ of five quarterbacks being taken in ‍the ‌first round increases. Keep an eye on Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. as⁣ a ⁣potential⁢ sleeper pick.

2. What Will Jim Harbaugh Do in His First Draft Back in the NFL?

After returning to the NFL, Jim Harbaugh’s first draft with the Los‍ Angeles Chargers at⁢ the fifth⁤ overall pick is full of intrigue. Will he go for a tight end like Georgia’s Brock Bowers, or focus on building a physical team that wins in the trenches? With the⁣ recent release of veteran wide receiver Mike Williams, the Chargers could ⁢also be a prime candidate to ⁣trade out of their pick.

3. Who Will⁤ Land Tight End Brock Bowers?

Bowers is widely regarded as one of⁣ the best players⁣ in ‍this draft class, but the tight end position is ​not typically‍ valued as highly as other positions. With the Jets⁢ potentially solidifying their offensive line‍ at the tenth ⁣pick, it’s unclear where Bowers will end up. Keep an eye on the Jets, as well as other teams in ‌need ‍of a playmaking​ tight end.

4. Will a Veteran Be Traded on Draft Night?

In recent years,‍ we’ve seen ‍multiple veteran players ‌traded on draft night, including A.J. Brown, Trent Williams,⁤ and D’Andre Swift. Could the Bengals⁤ trade away wide receiver Tee Higgins, who has expressed frustration with the organization? Keep an eye‌ on disgruntled players like ‍Brandon Aiyuk, who could also be on the move.

5. When Will the First Running Back ⁢Be Drafted?

Last year, two running backs were taken in the first dozen picks, but this year’s class is not as top-heavy. Keep an eye on Florida State’s Trey Benson, Texas’ Jonathon⁢ Brooks, and Michigan’s Blake Corum as potential first-round picks. ‍It’s possible that the first running back may not be taken until the second day of the draft.
