5/1 - Most Interesting Draft Storylines:

The 2024 NFL draft was the most exciting selection since 2021 given the amount of blue chip talent at high value positions. Here, are in my opinion, some of the most interesting storylines regarding the picks after the top 10. Laiatu Latu at 15 sets a record for the latest a defensive player has been selected, previously coming from 2021 with Jaycee horn at 8. This allowed the Colts and Seahawks to acquire top notch value at positions that didn't seem likely coming into Thursday night, while then addressing those needs with their next pick. Latu is one of the most technically refined pass rushers in the past few years and Murhpy is a dual threat defensive tackle prospect, at a position which has seen a surge in demand. AD Mitchell is exactly what the Colts look for as he had a fantastic combine and will fill the field stretching role. The Seahawks desperately needed interior line help and Christian Haynes is a strong run-blocking guard who should have been gone by this point.
