Follow along with USA TODAY’s live coverage of the 2024 NFL Draft here.

The 2024 NFL Draft is in full swing. Round 1 kicked off Thursday night with multiple trades and surprises in Detroit. The first round set multiple records, including: most offensive players selected in the first round, most quarterbacks in the first 10 picks, and the first time picks Nos. 1-10 were all offensive players.

There’s still many talented players left in the draft that will likely get selected today. After some teams missed out on Round 1, all 32 franchises will have at least one draft pick Friday, giving fan bases across the country reason to tune in.
