NFL Draft 2024: Teams Poised for Success with Abundance of Draft Capital
The NFL Draft is approaching, and teams are gearing up to make impactful moves to improve their rosters. In the post-Super Bowl lull, football fans are eagerly anticipating the draft, where hope springs eternal for all franchises.
Leading the pack in terms of draft capital is the Arizona Cardinals, who are set to make a quick turnaround with an impressive 13 picks, including two first-round selections at No. 4 and No. 27. With Kyler Murray leading the offense, the Cardinals can focus on bolstering their defense.
The Green Bay Packers have also positioned themselves well for the draft with 11 picks in total, including multiple early-round selections. With Jordan Love showing promise at quarterback, the Packers can shore up other areas of need.
The Chicago Bears may have fewer picks with only six selections, but the quality is undeniable. Holding both their own first-round pick at No. 9 and the No. 1 overall pick obtained from the Carolina Panthers in last year’s trade, the Bears have a rare opportunity to make impactful moves.
The Washington Commanders are in search of a franchise quarterback and hold the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. With a total of nine picks, including multiple early-round selections, Washington is poised to make significant improvements on both sides of the ball.
Finally, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in a unique position with 11 picks in hand. Along with being Super Bowl participants, the 49ers have ample draft capital to further solidify their roster, particularly with starting quarterback Brock Purdy still on a rookie contract.
