NFL Draft 2024 Day 2 live updates: Second and third round picks ...
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.
While there was little drama with the first pick, where Caleb Williams went to Chicago, heads turned at the tail end of the top 10 when the Atlanta Falcons picked quarterback Michael Penix Jr. in the most surprising pick of the night. The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract earlier this offseason.
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 Buffalo Bills have the first pick of the second round, No. 33 overall to get things started on Day 2.
In Round 2, teams will have seven minutes to make their selection, as opposed to 10 minutes in Round 1. In Round 3, teams will have five minutes to make their selections.
There are 32 selections in Round 2 and 37 in Round 3 this season because of compensatory selections awarded to teams who lost compensatory free agents during the off season. Those are determined by the NFL with a formula that considers salary, playing time and postseason honors of the player that left in free agency.

Detroit won the NFC North last year and is in the midst of a franchise renaissance. This comes as the other three teams in the division have now loaded up on potential superstars under center. Even with the Lions ruling the roost for the moment, could the Bears, Packers and Vikings be hot on their heels?

The two-time degending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are already solidified among the league's elite teams thanks to a once-in-a-generation quarterback/head coach pairing, but throughout the regular season K.C. did face some questions at wide receiver. While some of those were answered by the emergence of Rashee Rice, questions remain around his availability stemming from an off-season car crash he was involved in down in Texas.
Even after adding Hollywood Brown before the Draft, K.C. spend a first round pick on the fasters player in the draft, Texas' Xavier Worthy, and Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew weighed in on the champs' pick.

Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft are here, and there are still some big nsmae on the board for the second day of picks. Quarterback Spencer Rattler — who lost his starting job at Oklahoma to eventual No. 1 pick Caleb Williams before transferring to South Carolina — is just one of many big names still available. Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice has a full list, broken down by position, of the top stars still waiting to get their names called in Detroit on Friday.

This is a fine pick for the Panthers. They probably didn’t need to trade up, but moving up one spot to secure your guy isn’t the worst move in the world. They also needed to add a bigger player to their wide receiver room. This is solid pickup for the Panthers who really needed juice on offense.

Huh? This pick seems a bit out of nowhere, especially considering no one really had Pearsall going at this point in the draft. Perhaps this is the 49ers bracing for a move at wide receiver, but Pearsall could have been had later than this.

Baltimore definitely has a need for a cornerback, but it took a bit of a project at the position at this point in the draft. Wiggins is a rangy, fast corner, but he needs to add weight and strength before he can be a real contributor for the Ravens defense.

The Cowboys needed a left tackle to develop and at least have a prospect now in Guyton. He’s got a bit of a way to go as far as technique is concerned, but the physical tools and frame to grow into something for the long term are there. Guyton might have a lower floor than some of the other tackle prospects, but the upside is still here.

The Chiefs add some speed to their wide receiver room and some playmaking for Patrick Mahomes. This does feel a tad redundant with Marquise Brown on the roster, but that's only a one-year deal. Mahomes solves all problems, and having Rashee Rice on the roster is a nice changeup from the Brown and Worthy combo, but a 165-pound player in the first round is a bit of a tough sell.

Robinson isn’t a bad player, but he’s not the most dynamic guy on the defensive line. He’s a steady player who should be a solid piece for the Cardinals’ defensive line rotation, but that’s not necessarily the type of player that feels like a need in the first round. Still, he’s someone that will help the Cardinals up front.

This is a very safe pick for the Packers. Morgan needs to develop some strength as he enters the NFL, but should have the footwork and skill to at least be a quality pass blocker. It just feels like there might have been more juice to squeeze here with some of the defensive players still on the board.

Barton is a stud offensive lineman who can play all five positions up front. He was announced as a center, so he may wind up on the interior after playing left tackle at Duke, but he’s well-equipped for the move. He’s the most versatile lineman in the draft and the Buccaneers may have just gotten a steal.
