Abstract

The 2024 NFL Draft saw an unprecedented number of quarterbacks being selected early on. Despite the high risk of failure, teams continue to prioritize this position due to its importance in the game. The draft began with the first three teams all choosing quarterbacks, and a total of five quarterbacks were taken in the top 10 picks for the first time ever. While history shows that many of these picks will not succeed, the potential savings with a young quarterback on a rookie contract make it an attractive opportunity for teams. However, it is important to note that most quarterback prospects do not become long-term solutions for their teams. [Extracted from the article]
