Quarterbacks matter. They will dominate the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

No, quarterback won't be the most-represented position on the first night – that will be offensive line – but QBs will constitute the first four picks in the draft when it's all said and done, and I anticipate there being a half dozen taken on the first night. And, no, that's not because anyone is rising (Michael Penix Jr., allegedly, or J.J. McCarthy because of his pro day, allegedly). It's because smart evaluators I trust have been telling me such since before the college football season ended. My reporting has been steadfast on that for months, and I would be surprised if it changes now that we are a month away.

The betting markets for the draft are not fully formed and there will be more props added as we get closer. But of those that can be readily found, several stood to me among the quarterback offerings, and I have jumped on a few. I chose one sportsbook and stuck with their odds for all of these picks (BetMGM) for the sake of convenience and consistency for this project, but as always, shop around. These are my early plays on QBs.
