Welcome to the Breitbart Sports 2024 NFL Draft live blog! This is a running narrative/stream of consciousness as we navigate our way through the NFL’s annual draft bonanza.
Caleb Williams of USC is widely expected to be taken #1 overall by Chicago. Cameras caught Williams making his way to the draft earlier today with his girlfriend.

It’s not often that you have a situation where a quarterback might have better nail polish than his girlfriend, but that is the situation we find ourselves in now.

Honestly, there aren’t many quarterbacks who have more red flags than Williams. Not only because of the nails, pink phone, and lip gloss. But then you have to look at all the other concerns: His crying in his mother’s arms during his final game at USC. The fact that his teammates seemed genuinely happy to win without him in the bowl game. It’s just a huge risk for the Bears as they gamble their future on a player who has shown serious character and emotional maturity concerns.
Taking a step away from the draft talk for a second, look at this crowd in Detroit. Over 150,000 are expected to attend, and this video makes it look like they might exceed that number.

Seriously, how many sports in the world can unite 150,000 people for a game, much less a draft?
