The countdown to the 2024 NFL Draft has officially begun. Hopeful prospects from all over the globe have undergone intense scrutiny at the hands of the NFL’s evaluators over the past few months as teams hope to find the next cornerstones of their respective organizations before the first round kicks off April 25.
While the No. 1 overall pick seems to be a foregone conclusion (Caleb Williams to the Chicago Bears), there are still plenty of intriguing storylines for Round 1.
