The first round of the 2024 NFL draft is complete. Only six rounds to go.

If your team didn’t get the player you wanted on Thursday night, don’t worry about it. There’s still Friday and Saturday, beginning with the second and third rounds on Friday evening.

But before we dive into what could happen in the rounds ahead, let’s take stock of Thursday night.

In the first 12 picks, there were six quarterbacks selected: Caleb Williams (No. 1), Jayden Daniels (No. 2), Drake Maye (No. 3), J.J. McCarthy (No. 10) and Bo Nix (No. 12). 

Conversely, no defender was taken in the top 10 picks for the first time since the common draft era began in 1969. The first was Laiatu Latu, who fell to the Indianapolis Colts at No. 15.

But what should you expect moving forward? How are things going to go from here? Let’s look at our mock for the next two rounds.
