We tracked every trade involving the 2024 NFL draft, from Round 1 all the way through Round 7, which ended with the Jets selecting Alabama safety Jaylen Key at No. 257 overall.
Before the draft even began, there were four deals that shook up the first round, starting with the Browns' big move for quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2022. The Texans' haul included Cleveland's 2024 first-round pick (No. 23 overall) and its fourth-rounder (No. 123). Houston ended up sending No. 23 to the Vikings, however, as part of a larger deal, and it also traded its own first-rounder to the Cardinals when it moved up the board for edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. last year.
The biggest trade, though, impacted the No. 1 overall pick, as the Panthers traded up to the top of the board with the Bears a year ago ... and then promptly had the NFL's worst record (2-15). That means Chicago owned the first pick, which it used on USC quarterback Caleb Williams. The first day of the draft saw five deals, with the Vikings moving up twice, the Bills trading back twice and the Lions moving up to the delight of the hometown fans to pick Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold.
Friday got off to a frenetic start on the trade front, as there were six trades within the first 14 picks of the second round and seven overall, including one between the Super Bowl LVIII combatants to end Round 2. The third round had four trades, with the Eagles moving back twice. Day 3 also had its usual frenzy of deals.
Here are all of the draft-pick deals that affected the 2024 draft.
