The 5 Biggest Holes Left After the 2024 NFL Draft

The 2024 NFL draft has come and gone, leaving many teams with significant holes in their rosters. While some franchises addressed their needs, others are still searching for answers. In this article, we’ll explore the five biggest holes left after the draft, from the Dallas Cowboys’ running back situation to the Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback conundrum.

The Cowboys’ Running Back Conundrum

Yes, Ezekiel Elliott is returning to Dallas, but did we forget about the complaints about Elliott taking snaps away from Tony Pollard from 2020-2022? Is Elliott a great RB1 option as he turns 29 years old? The Cowboys’ decision to stick with Elliott raises questions about their backfield strategy.

The Cowboys’ running back situation is still a mystery

The Falcons’ Pass Rusher Problem

The Atlanta Falcons’ surprise first-round draft pick of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has raised eyebrows. With three teams reportedly trying to move up into the top 10 for Penix, the Falcons could have theoretically moved back to the middle of the first round, picked up more picks, and still gotten a top pass rusher like Laiatu Latu or Dallas Turner.

The Bills’ Wide Receiver Woes

Maybe Keon Coleman, the Bills’ pick to start the second round, will fix the position. There’s some question about that considering Coleman’s speed and his ability to separate, but most considered him a first-round talent.

The Bills’ wide receiver situation is still uncertain

The Jets’ Tight End Troubles

Tight end wasn’t a huge need for the Jets, but it’s not a strength either. There’s a reason every mock draft had Brock Bowers going to New York.

The Raiders’ Quarterback Conundrum

Well, some team was going to lose out at quarterback. When the Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth pick, that put the squeeze on for the rest of the quarterback-needy teams.

The Raiders’ quarterback situation is still uncertain

In conclusion, while some teams addressed their needs in the 2024 NFL draft, others are still searching for answers. The Cowboys, Falcons, Bills, Jets, and Raiders are just a few examples of teams with significant holes in their rosters.
