The NFL Draft is crucial for teams to bridge the talent gap with their opponents, but not all rookies make an immediate impact. In 2024, several rookies are expected to have a significant impact on their teams. Quarterback C.J. Stroud transformed the Texans last season and rookie quarterback Williams has the potential to do the same. In the NFC North, the Bears are banking on their top pick to lead them to the playoffs. The Cowboys will rely on rookie Guyton to fill the void left by Tyron Smith, while the Ravens have high hopes for their rookie offensive lineman. Washington, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans all have rookies who could play key roles in their success this season. The Rams are looking to defensive rookies to help fill the void left by Aaron Donald. With the right rookies stepping up, these teams could have a successful 2024 season.
