The Philadelphia Eagles moved up in the second round to select Iowa defensive back Cooper DeJean. 

The Eagles traded both of their second-round picks - Nos. 50 and 53 - along with a fifth-round pick to the Washington Commanders for picks 40 and 78.

DeJean was a projected first round pick, but was still available at No. 40.

DeJean totaled seven interceptions and 13 passes defensed over the past two seasons for Iowa while also making an impact as a punt returner.

The Los Angeles Chargers received trade inquiries on Justin Herbert from the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings.

Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz confirmed Thursday that he fielded inquiries about Herbert but did not specify which teams contacted him, adding "they were quickly shot down."

"Justin who?" Hortiz said with a smile. "No. No, at the combine I had some people ask me would we consider it, and they were quickly shot down. No, that is never an option."

The Chargers would have had to take on a $63.5 million salary cap charge for 2024 if they traded Herbert. The Chargers signed Herbert last July to a five-year, $262.5 million extension that included $133.7 million in full guarantees and $193.7 million in injury guarantees.

New England selected Drake Maye at No. 3, while the Vikings picked J.J. McCarthy at No. 10. 

Kirk Cousins was amongst the observers stunned by the decision by the Atlanta Falcons to spend a first round pick on quarterback Michael Penix Jr. out of Washington. 

The Falcons made the pick despite signing Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract last month in free agency.

Cousins' agent, Mike McCartney, told ESPN's Pete Thamel that the Falcons only notified the QB that they'd pick Penix while the team was on the clock. McCartney said there is frustration and confusion coming from Cousins' camp because Atlanta did not use its first-round pick to make the team better in 2024.

Penix, himself, said he was surprised when he got the call telling him he was the pick.

"I'm not going to say I knew it was coming," Penix said. "But I knew once the phone call came through."

The Chicago Bears led off the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Caleb Williams out of USC as expected with the Washington Commanders taking Jayden Daniels at No. 2 and the New England Patriots also taking a quarterback at No. 3 in Drake Maye.

The Minnesota Vikings traded up to No. 10 with the New York Jets to select J.J. McCarthy.

The Vikings sent the No. 11 pick as well as a fourth rounder and a fifth rounder for No. 10 and the No. 203 pick.

McCarthy was the fifth quarterback selected Thursday night, following Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Michael Penix Jr.

The New England Patriots are open to trading the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but are also comfortable keeping the selection for a quarterback. 

Eliot Wolf described trade discussions with other teams as "ongoing" while adding: "We have some holes we feel like we need to fill in the draft. We're a draft-and-develop team; the more picks we have, the better."

The Patriots enter next week's draft with eight total selections, headlined by the No. 3 pick and selections at the top of the second (No. 34) and third (68) rounds. 

Caleb Williams is expected to go No. 1 to the Chicago Bears, while the Washington Commanders are widely expected to pick Jayden Daniels at No. 2. The Patriots could consider Drake Maye, J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix Jr. at No. 3.

Three quarterbacks -- Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye -- are among the 13 players who have accepted invitations to be in attendance at the NFL draft in Detroit, it was announced Thursday.

USC's Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, is the presumptive No. 1 pick of the Chicago Bears when the draft kicks off the first of three days on April 25 (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC).

When the NFL changed its collective bargaining agreement in 2011 to give first round picks a contract slot based on when they were selected, drafting quarterbacks became a more valuable proposition.

From 1993 to 2010, teams used an average of 8.5 percent of their overall capital in a typical draft by the Jimmy Johnson chart on quarterbacks. Since 2011, that mark has risen to 10.9 percent, a jump of more than 28 percent.

If the New England Patriots select a quarterback at No. 3, they will automatically sign that player to a four-year, $35.8 million deal, or just under $9 million per year.

With the veteran average annual value at quarterback at $46.36 million, the required hit rate of drafting that quarterback at No. 3 would only need to be at 19.3 percent. If the Patriots believe Drake Maye has a 20 percent chance of turning into an NFL-caliber starting quarterback, they would be justified taking him with their pick.

The next positions on the list are edge rusher and wide receiver, which would require a 40.4 percent and 41.8 percent hit rate, respectively.

Linebacker, running back and center would each require a hit rate of more than 80 percent.

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired the No. 23 overall pick from the Houston Texans in the 2024 NFL draft.

The Vikings sent No. 42, No. 188 and a second rounder in 2025 to acquire No. 23 and No. 232.

The Chicago Bears hope to move "as quickly as possible" on whether they will draft a quarterback or go in another direction while keeping Justin Fields.

The Bears own the No. 1 pick in the draft for the second straight season. Last year, the Bears traded the pick to the Carolina Panthers, which led to the No. 1 pick this year.

"It just depends on what opportunities pop up," GM Ryan Poles said. "I will say this, I think you guys know me well enough now, if we go down that road, I want to do right by Justin as well. No one wants to live in gray, I know that's uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to be in that situation either. So, we will gather the information -- we will move as quickly as possible, [but] we are not going to be in a rush -- and see what presents itself and what's best for the organization."

Caleb Williams is widely considered the presumptive No. 1 pick in the draft.
