Are 2024 NFL Draft QBs poised to make history on Day1?

GFAN52 : 4/1/2024 8:00 pm

In 24 days, the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off in Detroit, and it might well be a historic night on April 25.

There have only been three instances in which quarterbacks have been selected with each of the first three picks of a draft -- and there's never been a year in which four straight QBs have been taken to begin the festivities, according to NFL Research.

Could 2024 be the year in which quarterbacks make more history on Day 1?

NFL Media draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah is predicting a record four quarterbacks will go in the first four picks -- USC's Caleb Williams to the Chicago Bears at No. 1, UNC's Drake Maye to the Washington Commanders at No. 2, LSU's Jayden Daniels to the New England Patriots at No. 3 and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy to the Minnesota Vikings via a trade at No. 4.

In top 5 the more I am starting to think BS..

Yes, it could happen but I have a feeling too much is being said this way to have it actually be true..

It’s definitely possible

But I also think people are underestimating the non QB talent. The draft is loaded and teams will have to consider long and hard before passing up on some of the non QBs. Guys who not too long ago were seen as later first or even second round picks are suddenly in play high in the top 10? I’m not convinced that’s not driven by talking ones self into something based on need more than anything.

I'd say the odds are high 4 QB go in the first 4 and I bet 6 go rd 1 to tie the 1983 record.
