The 2024 NFL Thread

[ilovepaydays]

I decided to start a new NFL thread for the new season being that the 2024 NFL Draft is this week!

NFL.com - 2024 NFL Draft Page

The First Round will be airing live on ABC/ESPN/NFL Network this Thursday at 8pm ET.

Anyone else getting excited? Which teams or players are you following closely? Anyone got to see which player(s) end up crying buckets because they just got seven (or eight for First Round picks!) figures?

I no longer follow players since I stopped watching college football. I am still interested in the draft to see who my teams drafted. I look up who other teams drafted,and then I read about the players.

I just wish the draft would start inthe morning, and not in the evening.

Watching on ABC. Interesting that it’s in Detroit - I thought the NFL Draft was always at Madison Square Gardens in NYC. Or somewhere else like Las Vegas.

Also - it’s amazing how little Nick Saban has aged.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has walked onstage with Eminem.

Here’s the draft order for Round 1.

And……..here’s the #1 in the 2024 NFL Draft!

Congrats to Caleb Williams (USC) and he’ll definitely start for the Bears , but doesn't he need to bulk up a bit? I’m kinda worried about what that frame is going to do with a NFL defensive lineman.

Good Lord…..three picks, three quarterbacks so far!

 

[ilovepaydays]

Ten picks in Round 1 so far: 5 QBs, 3 WRs, and 2 OTs!

Great night for QB's---I enjoyed the light show on stage. The NFL is good at this stuff.

Grades for all teams for Day 1.

WAIT. Why would a team like the Browns miss out on making ANY picks AGAIN in the first round?

 

[Vash01]

I am disappointed that the AZ Cardinals drafted a WR as the 4th overall pick instead of a great OT, who was then picked up by the 5th picking team.

But was there a great OT and I mean GREAT because that WR looks awesome. I normally say line over wr’s but he looks so good.

That pick was part of the package to get Deshaun Watson.

Once the draft really became a "viewer event" they decided to move it around to create more excitement in different cities each year. Next year it's in Green Bay and the closest hotels are already sold out

I was so impressed by the crowds in Detroit. I think I am impressed by the city of Detroit and I never thought I would say that ever. But they are finding good ways to come back from some desolate times. I was watching Bargain Block last week and I love the idea of urban renewal one inexpensive house at a time.
