How does the NFL draft work?
The draft is a reverse order of last season’s standings, with the Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs given the final pick.
The Carolina Panthers, who had the worst record last season, would normally have picked first, however the Chicago Bears will have first dibs this time around having acquired the pick from the Panthers as part of the deal which saw the franchise move up in 2023 to take Bryce Young.
When does the NFL 2024 season start?
The regular season is set to begin on September 5 and will last until January 5.
The play-offs will then get underway from January 11, with the Super Bowl set for February 9, 2025.
Super Bowl LIX will be held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is home to the New Orleans Saints.
