The Kansas City Chiefs are a week removed from winning their second straight Super Bowl. But for 31 other teams and fan bases, the official conclusion to the 2023-2024 season marks the official beginning of draft season.
What makes the 2024 NFL Draft particularly unique is that the questions truly start at the very beginning. We’ve seen plenty of drafts where the No. 1 pick is a foregone conclusion. We’ve also seen plenty of drafts where it’s fairly obvious that a team is looking to trade out of the top pick. But it’s rare to have a situation as polarizing as the decision the Chicago Bears must make with the top overall selection.
Here are all of our burning questions for the 2024 NFL Draft. Below we dive into a few notable 2024 NFL Draft Prospects.

2024 NFL Draft Burning Questions
Can Atlanta Land a QB?
The Falcons are almost certainly going to try to add a franchise quarterback during the draft. But like the Giants, Atlanta could have trouble achieving that goal with the eighth overall pick.
Atlanta seemingly has the pieces offensively in Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Pitts. If any team were to make a bold move for the No. 1 pick, I could see it being Atlanta. But after hiring a defensive-minded head coach in Raheem Morris, will the Falcons get aggressive and make a move to land a top prospect?
Atlanta also seems like a realistic landing spot for Fields should the Bears move on from him. Either way, the Falcons will be an awfully interesting team to monitor.
Could There Be a Battle for the No. 4 QB?
Things will get interesting even after the top three passers are off the board, as there are plenty of teams picking outside the top 10 who could be in the market for a quarterback.
The Vikings could be in the market for a QB if they part ways with Kirk Cousins. The Broncos have already parted with Russell Wilson and have no answer. The Raiders can’t go into next season with Aidan O’Connell as their starter. All three of these teams could be jousting for the next-best QB in this class, either J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix, both of whom have some concerns. But again, the 2025 class might not offer many better alternatives.
Will There Be No Running Backs Taken in Round 1?
As of right now, it looks like there won’t be tailback taken in the first round of this year’s draft, and it might not even be close. Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board lists Florida State’s Trey Benson as the top-ranked tailback as the 60th-ranked prospect.
Combine an unheralded class with the league’s general philosophy of treating running backs like livestock, and this sets up for an RB-free first round. However, I do think there are some prospects in this draft who could surprise, most notably Benson, Texas’ Jonathon Brooks and Notre Dame’s Audric Estime.
