When is the 2024 NFL Draft?
By Tommy Jaggi
The NFL Draft is always the most anticipated offseason event of the NFL calendar year. Millions of fans gather in front of their TV screens for three days straight as they anxiously await to see which players their team has drafted.
We know that the NFL Draft can have major implications on the future of an NFL franchise -- both for good or for bad. When teams miss early in the draft, it can set the organization back years. At the same time, strong drafts can help turn things around in a hurry, and every once in a while, a new star is born in the NFL.
We all are familiar with the NFL Draft and what it entails, but when will the next draft take place?
When is the 2024 NFL Draft?
With very few exceptions, the NFL Draft is almost always held annually during the final weekend in April. This year will be the same.
The 2024 NFL Draft is set to take place from Thursday, April 25th to Saturday, April 27th, according to Football Operations. The draft is divided into three parts with the first round taking place on the evening of April 25th, rounds two and three taking place on the evening of April 26th, and rounds four through seven taking place on the afternoon of April 27th.
During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers landed an impressive haul with players like Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, Darnell Washington, Nick Herbig, and Cory Trice Jr. Obviously, we still need to wait and see how this draft class will perform in 2023 and beyond.
The draft is arguably the most important time of the year for NFL teams to load up on young talent as they look to strengthen a championship roster or begin building for the future. We will be sure to tune in to the 2024 NFL Draft like we do every year.
