How many first-round prospects are there in the 2024 NFL draft class?
You might be thinking the answer is 32, since there will be 32 selections in Round 1 come April 25 in Detroit. But we aren't talking about how many players will be drafted in Round 1, we're talking about how many carry a true Round 1 grade.
NFL teams don't typically deem many prospects in a given class as a Round 1-caliber talent, and it's never 32 of them. More realistically, around 15 per class earn a real first-round grade, though the number varies by team and scouting department.
