The first three picks of the 2024 NFL draft could all be quarterbacks.
The Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and New England Patriots may all be in the market for a signal-caller, and there's a talented trio coming up in USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels.
Teams will surely be interested to see these top three quarterbacks throw the football. However, that isn't going to happen this weekend.
According to Chris Burke and Dane Brugler of The Athletic, none of the three will be participating in throwing drills at the combine. Instead, they'll likely throw at their respective college pro days.
USC's pro day is scheduled for March 20, and LSU's event is set for March 27. North Carolina has not yet announced the date for its pro day.
There's a good chance Williams will be the first player taken in the draft, whether he goes to Chicago or not. If the Bears opt to stick with Justin Fields at QB, they could trade down and send the top pick to a team in the market for a quarterback. At that point, Williams would still be the front-runner to go No. 1.
It will be interesting to see whether Maye or Daniels is the second QB off the board. They both have a lot of talent, but they possess different skill sets.
Of course, the way these quarterbacks perform at their pro days could impact their draft stock and change the order they're likely to get selected.
