The upcoming 2024 NFL Draft certainly appears to favor more first-round offensive talent than defensive players. There is the obvious focus on quarterbacks, with a strong possibility of five being chosen on day one of the draft. In addition to these high-profile quarterbacks, several game-changing pass catchers are lauded as “got-to-have-receivers,” featuring Heisman finalist Marvin Harrison Jr. Plus, there is a slew of offensive tackles and one exceptionally elite tight end from Georgia, all considered first-round certainties. It’ll be interesting to see how many defensive players drop into the later rounds because of the multitude of difference-makers likely chosen on offense.
