The 2024 NFL Draft will be the 89th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan, on April 25–27, 2024.[1]

This could be the first time since 1991 in which the number one overall pick is traded prior to the draft for consecutive years (as it remains unclear what will the Chicago Bears do with it after getting it from the Carolina Panthers in the previous draft)[2] and will be the first time since 1990 that a team with the worst record did not get a first round pick.

Host city

Detroit was chosen over Green Bay and Washington, D.C. as the host city on March 28, 2022.[3]

Selection order

The selection order for subsequent rounds will follow the order of the first round, except that teams with the same record and same playoff result will rotate among their respective groups. Also, 32 additional supplemental picks will be allocated between the ends of round 3 through 7. The Miami Dolphins will forfeit their third round selection, while the San Francisco 49ers will receive an additional third round selection pursuant to 2020 Resolution JC-2A, for a total of 256 picks.

See the rules for determining draft order for more details.

Forfeited picks

2020 Resolution JC-2A picks

Since the 2021 draft, the league, under 2020 Resolution JC-2A passed in November 2020, rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.[6] The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded by draft order in the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.[7] One pick was awarded for the 2024 draft pursuant to the resolution.
