As the dust settles from the whirlwind of free agency, NFL teams are now turning their attention to the upcoming 2024 NFL draft. This annual event is a crucial opportunity for teams to find the next star player that will shape the future of their franchise.
One position that will be closely watched leading up to the draft is the quarterback position. Top prospects such as Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and J.J. McCarthy are expected to be at the center of attention as teams evaluate their potential to become franchise quarterbacks.
With the importance of the quarterback position in today’s NFL, some teams may be willing to trade up in the draft to secure their future signal-caller. This could lead to some exciting draft day trades as teams jockey for position to land their desired prospect.
One team that may be feeling the effects of recent trades is the Houston Texans. After trading away their first-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for two second-round picks, the Texans find themselves without a first-round selection in this year’s draft. This has forced the team to get creative with their draft strategy, as they look to find value in the later rounds.
Texans Wire recently released a post-free agency mock draft that includes a number of trades and a focus on selecting a quarterback. The Texans will need to make the most of their draft picks to ensure they can continue to build their team for the future.
As teams across the league prepare for the 2024 NFL draft, all eyes will be on the quarterback position and the potential trades that could shake up the draft board. Stay tuned for more updates as the draft approaches.
