After a whirlwind, Taylor Swift-centric 2023 season, the NFL has returned for the 2024 Draft. Thanks to a trade with the Carolina Panthers, the Chicago Bears had the first pick in the first round of the highly anticipated event, where they selected USC’s Caleb Williams. But Williams wasn't the only former college quarterback to find his team last night. LSU's Jayden Daniels became the No. 2 pick of the evening when the Washington Commanders tapped him. UNC's Drake Maye is joining the New England Patriots. The Atlanta Falcons chose Washington's Michael Penix Jr., and the Minnesota Vikings got Michigan's J.J. McCarthy.
The 2024 NFL Draft continues tonight with the second and third rounds. Are you ready to find out who else is joining your favorite football team? Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the NFL Draft, including where to stream it for free, what channels the Draft is on, the full NFL Draft schedule, NFL Draft order and more.
