The case for and against 32 first-round picks trying to be on the right side of their team exercising their fifth-year option after the 2024 season.
Each April, teams take a player on that Thursday night and hope to have found a cornerstone, someone to build around and hopefully see play on a second contract.
Of course, that doesn’t always happen. In fact, it’s a relative 50–50 whether the player will even see his fifth-year option exercised. Of the 96 players drafted from 2019 to ’21, only 49 of them have had their option exercised. Going into the 2024 campaign, there are 32 players trying to be on the right side of that split come next offseason. Let’s look at each case and break down which ways things are currently leaning.London hasn’t gone over 1,000 receiving yards in a season, but he’s racked up 141 catches, 1,771 yards and six touchdowns. Additionally, he’s done so without good quarterback play or another wideout who could help draw coverage away.
This draft class is terrific. Gardner is a two-time, first-team All-Pro while Wilson has become one of the league’s best receivers, registering two 1,000-yard seasons. As for Johnson, he started slow as a rookie but had 7.5 sacks in 2023, showcasing his talent off the edge.The Eagles have two decisions, and yet no decisions at all. Pickett comes over from the Steelers and clearly isn’t more than a backup with low upside after struggling in Pittsburgh.
