2024 NFL Draft Trades Recap
The 2024 NFL draft was filled with excitement and anticipation as teams made moves to secure top talent and improve their rosters. From Round 1 to Round 7, every trade was meticulously tracked to analyze its impact on the league.
Early Round Shakeups
Prior to the draft, four significant deals set the tone for the first round. The Cleveland Browns made a splash by acquiring quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2022, giving up their 2024 first-round pick (No. 23 overall) and fourth-rounder (No. 123) in the process. The Houston Texans, however, later traded the No. 23 pick to the Minnesota Vikings. Additionally, the Texans traded their own first-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals to move up for edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. in the previous year.
One of the most notable trades involved the No. 1 overall pick, with the Carolina Panthers making a move with the Chicago Bears the year before to secure the top spot. Despite the Panthers having the worst record in the NFL at 2-15, the Bears emerged with the first pick and selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams.

These trades will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the league, influencing roster compositions and player developments.
