The NFL Draft has arrived, as teams continue their thorough preparation for the 2024 season.

Detroit is the site for this year’s selection show, with the three-day event set to impact the lives of more than 200 prospects. It also marks a potential change for numerous organizations, who will get the chance to add high-end talent to their rosters.

The Bears are on the clock with the first pick, and they’re expected to take a USC QB Caleb Williams. The 2022 Heisman winner has long been regarded as the top talent in the 2024 draft class, and Chicago is in line to bring in the talented quarterback as its starter.

NFL Draft 2024: First round order

The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the draft thanks to last year’s trade with the Panthers for the 2023 No. 1 pick. It gives Chicago the No. 1 and No. 9 picks in the draft.

The Vikings traded up into the first round earlier in the offseason, acquiring the No. 23 pick from the Texans, which previously belonged to the Browns. It gives Minnesota a pair of first-round picks — No. 11 and No. 23.

In addition, the Cardinals have two first-round picks after acquiring the Texans’ first-round pick last year when Houston moved up to No. 3 in the 2023 draft. Arizona owns the No. 4 and No. 27 picks as a result.
