The 2024 NFL Draft class has either played their final game or is in the midst of bowl season. In this 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft, we’re rewarding the nation’s top on-field performers and looking to plug the holes of every NFL team.
The following mock draft order is based on current NFL standings as of Dec. 20. With underclassmen now declaring their intentions and buzz building about who will be available, our mock draft looks to plug major needs and find ideal landing spots.
7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft | Round 1
1) Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
There’s no question that the top two quarterbacks in the 2024 class are excellent prospects. Both Caleb Williams and Drake Maye deserve QB1 status, and this choice will purely come down to interviews and the desired play style of Chicago’s next signal-caller.
Incumbent Justin Fields has looked good enough to start somewhere in 2024, but if Chicago lands the No. 1 pick, it’s hard to justify keeping him over starting anew with a rookie with a fresh five-year deal.
Williams is my top signal-caller, so he gets the nod here.
2) New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Maybe the New England Patriots are ready to turn the page on head coach Bill Belichick, but it’s also possible he’s pulling off a terrific tank job to land a top quarterback in the 2024 class.
Giving Belichick and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien a talent like Drake Maye would allow the franchise to compete with Buffalo and Miami in the AFC East in the coming years. O’Brien previously got the best out of Deshaun Watson, and Maye can match Watson’s peak performance, if not surpass it.
After landing Maye, their focus would be overhauling the rest of the anemic offense.
3) Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
All indications point toward Arizona wanting to build around Kyler Murray. Maybe it’s because of the massive financial ramifications of moving off Murray, but let’s operate in a world where that’s true.

If Murray is sticking in Arizona, getting him premier playmakers is a must. Marvin Harrison Jr. is worth all of the hype and will be a franchise cornerstone. Taking him over a defensive cornerstone isn’t an easy choice, though.
4) Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Washington hasn’t seen enough from Sam Howell to justify passing on a superior playmaker at the position. Jayden Daniels‘ developmental arc throughout college speaks volumes about his work ethic and potential. More work is needed as a pocket passer, but the Commanders’ new coaching staff should love his explosive skill set.
5) Chicago Bears: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
It doesn’t matter who the Bears’ next QB is unless they add more talent around him. Joe Alt is the best left tackle in the draft, boasting elite size, technical ability, and strength. Few prospects over the last decade are as clean as Alt is, so the 6’8″, 315-pounder gets the nod here.
6) New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Giants GM Joe Schoen said that Daniel Jones is expected to be the starter in 2024, but I think that’s more because a rookie won’t easily overtake the veteran on Day 1.
Nevertheless, while Bo Nix is a stronger prospect than some give him credit for, the Giants should be able to add a similar talent in Round 2. Passing on an elite receiving prospect to reach for a quarterback would be foolish.
As tremendous as Harrison is, one could argue that Malik Nabers is better built for the modern NFL. The LSU star has elite quickness and speed throughout his routes and can win from the slot and as an outside receiver.
7) New York Jets: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Supporting Aaron Rodgers’ return is non-negotiable for the Jets. Olumuyiwa Fashanu is as physically imposing as anyone in the nation. His consistency isn’t there yet, as he’ll lose to power rushers, but that should improve with NFL coaching and strength and conditioning programs.
8) Los Angeles Chargers: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Georgia tight end Brock Bowers is as unique as pass catchers come, boasting excellent athleticism for a 6’4″, 240-pounder.
Regardless of whether Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler are in LA beyond this year, Bowers is a foundational piece to build around. One could argue he’s a top-five player in this class.
9) Tennessee Titans: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
The best right tackle in the draft might be an unexpected name. Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga is far from a household name, but the massive 6’6″ blocker has elite movement ability, great power, and improved hand usage.
He’s not quite Tristan Wirfs, but Fuaga’s not that far off, either.
10) Atlanta Falcons: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Atlanta needs a quarterback, but a veteran like Kirk Cousins makes more sense than putting another youngster through the Arthur Smith experience.
Instead, giving the Falcons another sticky man corner to go with A.J. Terrell makes sense. There’s not a better 1-on-1 corner in the class than Kool-Aid McKinstry.
11) Green Bay Packers: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Green Bay’s offense has looked sharp as the season has developed, but the defense needs retooling. Their need for a cornerback has become more apparent in recent weeks.
The 6’2″, 185-pound Nate Wiggins has tremendous speed, length, and a high football IQ that projects well as a solid starter.
12) Las Vegas Raiders: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
An unexpected challenger for the class’ CB1 mantle has arrived, and it’s McKinstry’s teammate.
MORE: Free NFL Mock Draft Simulator
Terrion Arnold has been everywhere for Alabama, providing timely tackles and turnovers. He can play in the slot or kick out as an outside corner, thanks to his speed and physicality.
13) New Orleans Saints: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
Cameron Jordan turns 35 next offseason, and New Orleans routinely invests in the most valuable positions on the field. Dallas Turner is a plus-run defender already and has the physical tools to be an impact pass rusher in the near future. Learning from Jordan can help Turner reach his Pro Bowl-level ceiling.
14) Denver Broncos: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois
This is a terrific DT class, and Jer’Zhan Newton is unanimously the best available. He’s a game-wrecker on the interior. Newton has great hand strength and placement, the burst needed to challenge interior blockers, and is a menace when single-blocked.
15) Seattle Seahawks: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
The best pass rusher in the class is UCLA’s Laiatu Latu. He offers a deep array of pass-rush moves and improved his quickness and power in 2023.
Pete Carroll can replicate UCLA’s usage of Latu, which protected him in the run game and created advantageous pass-rush angles to maximize his effectiveness.
16) Pittsburgh Steelers: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
The Steelers would be a great fit for Justin Fields if Chicago opts for a rookie — as they have in this mock. He’s a better roll of the dice than any QB left on the board here and wouldn’t cost a first-round pick.
With that in mind, Pittsburgh can shore up their CB room by nabbing a playmaker in Denzel Burke.
17) Arizona Cardinals: JC Latham, OT, Alabama
If Arizona is willing to move 2023 first-round pick Paris Johnson to left tackle, then taking JC Latham is a home run. Latham is a bit raw but physically dominant with his unique strength, length, and quickness.
The Cardinals’ offense would quickly be more formidable and be set up for future success with Harrison and Latham added in Round 1.
18) Buffalo Bills: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Rome Odunze has everything needed to be a dominant alpha in the NFL. His body control, hands, footwork, and quickness are well-advanced for someone over 6’2″ and 200 pounds. Passing on an impact defender stings, but the Bills must add more talent around Josh Allen.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Tampa Bay has a slew of needs on both sides of the ball, so this pick is about value relative to the class. Iowa’s Cooper DeJean can play cornerback, safety, linebacker, and be a star return man. The Buccaneers have struggled to stay healthy in the back end of their defense, so DeJean can help revitalize the unit.
20) Minnesota Vikings: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
Bo Nix has been terrific the last two seasons, boasting efficiency numbers that are almost hard to believe. He’ll get ridiculed for checking down more than hunting big plays, but that inner playmaker who can create on his own is still in there.
MORE: When Is the 2024 NFL Draft?
Don’t be surprised if Nix plays better in the NFL than in college, just like his predecessor Justin Herbert has.
21) Los Angeles Rams: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
There was a gaping opportunity for a riser in the pass rusher class entering the season. Penn State’s Chop Robinson has taken advantage, showing off better play strength and a more diverse set of moves at his disposal compared to last year.
Los Angeles desperately needs to find a top-notch edge threat.
22) Indianapolis Colts: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
The Colts already have a young receiving room, but Alec Pierce hasn’t shown he’s a legitimate NFL player, and Josh Downs hasn’t been consistent in his rookie year.
Giving Anthony Richardson the best alpha receiver in the class in Keon Coleman will help him succeed upon his return. The 6’4″ Coleman offers terrific explosiveness and a huge catch radius.
23) Jacksonville Jaguars: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
How 6’4″, 195-pound Adonai Mitchell runs routes is astounding to watch. His flexibility and acceleration for his height are truly rare.
Jacksonville’s need for a true WR1 has been made more apparent in recent weeks. Mitchell’s presence will help everyone on the offense be in a more fitting pecking order.
24) Cincinnati Bengals: Troy Fautanu, G, Washington
Cincinnati must protect Joe Burrow at all costs, and re-signing Tee Higgins would give them more flexibility to achieve that goal.
Washington left tackle Troy Fautanu will move inside at the next level and continue to round out an offensive line that always seems a piece away from being complete. He’s a nasty and effective blocker in all phases.
25) Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
We can write in pen that every mock draft until April will see the Chiefs taking a receiver. Rashee Rice is the real deal, but the team can’t stop adding to the unit.
LSU’s other star receiver, Brian Thomas Jr., has quickly become a riser in this class. The 6’5″, 200-pounder has proven to be a great vertical threat, thanks to his length and speed. He’s still a raw route runner, so success in his first few years will depend on whether his quarterback trusts him to get the ball.
26) Houston Texans: T’Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas
Massive dudes who move well don’t grow on trees, and T’Vondre Sweat is one of the most impressive athletes in the class. At 6’3″ and 346 pounds, Sweat eats blockers for lunch every Saturday.
MORE: NFL Draft Underclassmen Tracker
He has tremendous strength and surprising quickness for his size, projecting to be a solid nose tackle for a long time. DeMeco Ryans will love this guy.
27) Detroit Lions: Leonard Taylor III, DT, Miami (FL)
Detroit has invested a ton of resources into its DT position to no avail. However, Leonard Taylor III could finally provide an answer. Taylor’s quickness and upper body strength are particularly impressive as he penetrates the pocket.
28) Philadelphia Eagles: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
The 2024 cornerback class has some depth issues after the top few names, meaning an unexpected name will rise throughout the offseason.
Quinyon Mitchell has the size, length, speed, and production to be that emerging star. Philadelphia always thinks one step ahead, and Mitchell can be a difference-maker for their aging secondary.
29) Miami Dolphins: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Georgia’s Amarius Mims has all the tools needed to be a very good starter for a decade. He has great power and fluidity as a pass blocker.
With Miami having to consider Terron Armstead’s lack of durability, Mims is a logical replacement. Having the same left tackle for most of the season will bring comfort to a line that’s struggled with injuries.
30) Dallas Cowboys: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Dallas’ passing game ranks well but the individual talent outside CeeDee Lamb leaves room for improvement. Brandin Cooks looks old, and Michael Gallup looks cooked.
Emeka Egbuka gets up to top speed quickly, can separate easily from defenders, and continues creating once the ball is in his hands.
31) San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Tyler Guyton is a natural right tackle with tremendous movement ability and comfort in pass protection. He’ll fit in across from Trent Williams, giving the 49ers even more strength in the run game and athleticism to move the pocket whenever they want.
The NFL’s best offense gets better with this pick.
32) Baltimore Ravens: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
As much as Baltimore wants to continue growing its passing game, their tackle play holds them back. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley isn’t the same guy he once was after all the injuries.
BYU’s Kinglsey Suamataia might be the best athlete in the class at the position, considering his immense 6’6″, 325-pound frame.
Round 2
33) Carolina Panthers: Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
Getting more versatile playmakers with explosiveness has to be a priority for the woeful Panthers offense. Xavier Legette fits the bill.
The 6’1″ senior is averaging an absurd 18.3 yards per catch this season, thanks to his open-field running ability and huge catch radius.
34) Arizona Cardinals: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
Although the 2023 season hasn’t been the dominant campaign we’d hoped for Jared Verse, he’s still a good prospect. Verse doesn’t quite have the lower body flexibility and sheer speed to overtake games, but he’s a strong, creative rusher with good athleticism.
Jonathan Gannon should love his tenacity and skill set.
35) New England Patriots: Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
Adding a franchise left tackle and quarterback in the same draft is a dream. This class is so deep with tackles that Jordan Morgan falls to the second round. He’s a silky smooth pass blocker with great balance and hand usage.
36) Washington Commanders: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston
Although Patrick Paul is a bit top-heavy and isn’t a top-tier athlete, he gets the job done effectively. His hand usage and ability to withstand power rushers help overcome some of the physical limitations of his build.
The tackle class sees a huge dip after Paul, so Washington would be wise not to wait.
37) New York Giants: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
The Giants get rewarded for their patience, landing Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy early in the second round of this mock. McCarthy, who has been an excellent game manager under Jim Harbaugh, has shown off above-average arm talent, creativity, and playmaking chops in the limited opportunities the Wolverines have asked him to do more.
MORE: Top Quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft
McCarthy is more reliable and has a higher ceiling than Daniel Jones, even if he ends up being less dynamic than what we project.
38) Green Bay Packers: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
With Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon failing to produce as hoped, it’s time for Green Bay to refresh its RB room. Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson is the best back in the class, boasting elite speed and better contact balance than most of his peers.
Green Bay would have one of the youngest but most explosive surrounding casts in the league around Jordan Love.
39) Los Angeles Chargers: Graham Barton, G, Duke
Seeing Justin Herbert get injured after carrying this limp unit for another season must spark change in LA. Getting him an improved offensive line is a priority.
Graham Barton‘s quickness complements his power extraordinarily well, making him a well-rounded prospect likely to kick inside from tackle.
40) Tennessee Titans: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
The Titans have so many needs that taking the best player to make impact moments is critical. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. flies around the field and is an asset as a blitzer, giving head coach Mike Vrabel a key weapon to unleash.
41) Washington Commanders: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
Washington is still searching for a game-changing linebacker. Edgerrin Cooper is a potential superstar at the position. He has all the tools to be a fantastic player immediately, showing off sideline-to-sideline range, quick twitch reactions, and great power.
42) Green Bay Packers: Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami (FL)
As soon as Kamren Kinchens stepped onto the field for the Hurricanes, he became a defensive leader — even as a freshman.
Kinchens became an All-American in his second year and led the team with six interceptions. His tackling angles are a concern, but the ball-hawking presence helps compensate for other deficiencies.
43) Las Vegas Raiders: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
Michael Penix Jr. has helped his stock significantly this year, even if his game has shown more cracks recently.
Like Tua Tagovailoa, Penix is a pocket passer with an incredible touch on his throws. Yet, he struggles to create on the move or while under pressure especially well, so Vegas needs a top-notch scheme or blockers in front of him.
44) Atlanta Falcons: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
There’s no way to watch Ohio State without noticing Tyleik Williams wrecking games for opposing offenses. The 320-pounder can be too aggressive sometimes, but his physical prowess and quickness are worth banking on.
Atlanta desperately needs a young interior defender with huge potential.
45) New Orleans Saints: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
New Orleans loves speed, and there won’t be many receivers who run faster than Oregon’s Troy Franklin. The 6’2″ playmaker was nearly unstoppable this season, routinely winning on vertical routes against top competition. He’d fit right in with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
46) New York Giants: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State
There aren’t many humans bigger than Donovan Jackson. The 6’4″, 320-pounder engulfs and bulldozes defenders with his long, powerful arms. The Giants would quickly find that Jackson can solve their need at guard.
47) Pittsburgh Steelers: Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia
The top center in the class is West Virginia’s Zach Frazier. He stonewalls defenders in pass protection and can handle nose tackles or incoming blitzers who have the momentum advantage. He’d be a huge upgrade on Mason Cole.
48) Philadelphia Eagles: Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas
The Eagles are so desperate at linebacker that they signed the ghost of Shaq Leonard. Getting a long-term fix for the position should be a priority, and Jaylan Ford is a perfect fit behind this talented defensive line.
Ford could challenge to be one of the NFL’s leading tacklers with his instincts and physicality.
49) Buffalo Bills: Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
A true ball hawk who would complement the Buccaneers’ physical secondary and maximize their talents, Tyler Nubin can help redefine the right unit. Buffalo has to get younger at safety, and the middle of their defense will benefit from Nubin’s addition.
50) Houston Texans: Trey Benson, RB, Florida State
It’s been a tough season for Dameon Pierce under new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, as the powerful back has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry. However, the Texans have seen success with veteran Devin Singletary, so it might be just a Pierce problem.
Adding the speedy Trey Benson to the unit would give them a true workhorse who fits the scheme.
51) Minnesota Vikings: Brandon Dorlus, EDGE, Oregon
At 6’5″ and 285 pounds, Brandon Dorlus has everything he needs to be an intimidating, difference-making defensive lineman. His toolbox is deep, including an impressive burst off the snap, great hand usage and physicality, as well as the ability to play as a 3-4 end, 4-3 tackle, or even as a 4-3 end.
52) Los Angeles Rams: Sedrick Van Pran, C, Georgia
Sedrick Van Pran is the best run-blocking center in the class. Georgia’s powerful middle man would slot seamlessly into the Rams’ line and help QB Matthew Stafford and RB Kyren Williams succeed.
53) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State
There’s no more physical guard in the draft than Kansas State’s Cooper Beebe. He’s a hammer in the run game as he bulldozes defenders into the turf. He’s also effective in pass protection, where his massive 332-pound frame allows him to anchor and withstand challengers.
54) Jacksonville Jaguars: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
Only a junior, Kamari Lassiter has emerged as one of the best cover men in the country this season. The 6’0″, 180-pounder is springy and deters targets from coming his way. Jacksonville can use him in a rotation to help ease his transition.
55) Cincinnati Bengals: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
Texas’ DL is stacked with talent, and Byron Murphy II might be the best. The 3-tech defender has consistently found himself in the backfield this year, producing 4.5 sacks and 17 tackles in eight games.
MORE: 2024 NFL Draft Big Board
Getting Murphy at this point is a steal, and he could replace DJ Reader.
56) Indianapolis Colts: J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
Although J.T. Tuimoloau couldn’t parlay the momentum he built as a pass rusher at the end of 2022 into this season, he’s still a very good player who will start in the NFL for a long time. Tuimoloau lacks elite burst and flexibility but is as strong as an ox and reads run keys at a near-perfect level.
57) Cleveland Browns: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Cleveland doesn’t have many pressing needs, so taking the best player available makes sense.
With Amari Cooper aging and Elijah Moore failing to impress in his first season with the team, adding Xavier Worthy to reshape the unit is a forward-thinking move. Worth and Cedric Tillman would complement each other nicely in the coming years.
58) Kansas City Chiefs: Beau Brade, S, Maryland
One of the best safeties in the class, Beau Brade can do it all. The 6’1″, 205-pounder has produced 168 tackles and three interceptions throughout his career. He flies around the field and is comfortable in all coverage types.
59) Philadelphia Eagles: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
The Eagles can afford a luxury pick. Quick route runners who are reliable at the catch point.
Enter Ladd McConkey, who has had a huge season after returning from injury. McConkey has all of the tools to be an effective playmaker.
60) Detroit Lions: Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest
While Caelen Carson didn’t shut down Keon Coleman in their matchup, Carson held his own and proved he belonged.
Carson has the length and physicality to bully wide receivers in man coverage. He also has fleet-footed athleticism, corrective twitch, technical prowess, and ball-tracking ability to hold strong through routes.
61) Dallas Cowboys: Kalen King, CB, Penn State
The 2023 season hasn’t been as kind to Kalen King as 2022 was now that he’s out of Joey Porter Jr.’s shadow.
But we shouldn’t judge King too harshly for his struggles against Marvin Harrison.
King is quick-twitched, flexible, and versatile. Dallas could use that skill set in a more defined role and benefit from his move to the nickel.
62) Miami Dolphins: Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington
Washington’s Bralen Trice boasts incredible power as a strongside defender, with enough quickness to be an effective No. 2 pass rusher in the NFL.
Though he’s not the fastest or most nimble body, Miami will be happy with his high floor and ability to play on Day 1.
63) San Francisco 49ers: Cole Bishop, S, Utah
Seeing Talanoa Hufanga tear his ACL was terrible. Rookie Ji’Ayir Brown will step into his shoes right away.
However, San Francisco already needed to add a younger talent to the position as Tashaun Gipson Sr. is nearing retirement. Utah’s Cole Bishop is well-rounded as a run defender and slot coverage option.
64) Baltimore Ravens: Will Shipley, RB, Clemson
The Ravens continue to see backs go down with major injuries, so fresh legs are needed.
No back in this class has more nuance to their game than Will Shipley. His footwork is efficient, and he manipulates rushing lanes like second nature. Shipley is an asset as a pass catcher as well.
Round 3
65) Carolina Panthers: Christian Haynes, G, UConn
Adding quality pass blockers in front of Bryce Young is paramount for the young QB to find success in 2024.
Christian Haynes is built like a refrigerator, boasting a thickness that makes it difficult for defenders to sneak by his reach. He’d push for a starting job right away.
66) New England Patriots: Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas
Everything New England does this offseason must be centered around building a successful offense around its new QB. Giving Maye a smooth route runner who can win on seam routes and near the goal line will help his transition to the NFL.
MORE: 2024 Shrine Bowl Rosters
Ja’Tavion Sanders is also a willing blocker, so he can be an early contributor in both phases.
67) Arizona Cardinals: Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon
Oregon’s Bucky Irving is a bit small at 5’9″ and 190 pounds, but his speed, creativity, toughness, and elusiveness are good enough to put him in the RB1 discussion for this class. Putting him next to Murray and Harrison will put fear into opponents’ eyes.
Irving’s lone weakness is his size in pass protection, but he’s otherwise too efficient and explosive to keep him off the field.
68) Washington Commanders: Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State
Washington’s defensive line just hasn’t consistently lived up to its billing. Michael Hall Jr. penetrates through offensive lines thanks to a great first step and effort. He’ll need more technical seasoning to reach his best form, but the tools are well worth investing in on Day 2.
69) New York Jets: Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan
Adding a ready-made player at this point in the draft isn’t easy, but Michigan’s Roman Wilson would be an ideal fit for Rodgers. Wilson is a solid route runner with enough burst to create separation when he needs to the most. He’ll earn early playing time in a unit desperately needing consistency beyond Garrett Wilson.
70) Los Angeles Chargers: MarShawn Lloyd, RB, USC
The Chargers need to clean out its RB room and find more explosive bodies.
MarShawn Lloyd is one of the biggest home-run threats in the class, boasting terrific speed for his 5’10”, 212-pound frame. He’s a bit of a wild runner and will look to create out structure, but it often pays off as he creates tough tackling angles for defenders.
71) Arizona Cardinals: Josh Newton, CB, TCU
No team in the NFL is lacking at cornerback more than Arizona is. TCU’s Josh Newton is experienced, physical, and has a knack for finding the ball mid-air. He’s a high-floor player who will compete effectively against high-end receivers.
72) Chicago Bears: Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
Despite having a lanky 6’3″, 175-pound frame, Devontez Walker is a premier deep-threat prospect. Since gaining eligibility midway through the season, Walker was Maye’s best friend.
The Bears must add a field-stretcher to go with DJ Moore, and Walker’s dynamic ball skills and speed fit right in.
73) New York Giants: Josh Proctor, S, Ohio State
There wasn’t a bigger X-factor on Ohio State’s defense than Josh Proctor in 2023. His physicality near the line of scrimmage and ability to compete in coverage will allow him to be at least a third safety on an aggressive defensive unit. He’s perfect for Giants DC Wink Martindale.
74) Las Vegas Raiders: Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale
The class lacks tackle depth, so the Raiders will need to be creative to fill a long-term need. Kiran Amegadjie‘s season was cut short due to a knee injury, but his athleticism and raw potential are worth waiting for as he recovers.
75) Atlanta Falcons: Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida
Atlanta will need to double dip at the receiver position in the draft because they have zero long-term talent besides Drake London.
Adding a speedy threat in Ricky Pearsall can help solve that issue. Pearsall can line up all over and create mismatches thanks to his sudden burst and cutting ability.
76) Green Bay Packers: Isaiah Adams, G, Illinois
A monstrous presence at 6’4″ and 320 pounds, Isaiah Adams was dominant as a run blocker throughout the season. His massive wingspan and powerful base project well in pass protection, but he’ll need some time to improve his hand-strike placement and overall game plan against quick defenders.
77) Seattle Seahawks: Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
The Geno Smith era might end sooner than anyone expected after his excellent 2022 season. Pushing him with a better talent than Drew Lock is a necessity.
Spencer Rattler has the experience, high-level traits, and developmental curve that suggests he could be a major Day 2 steal at the position.
78) Pittsburgh Steelers: Malik Washington, WR, Virginia
Pittsburgh seems likely to make a move at receiver after seeing the lackluster effort from Diontae Johnson and George Pickens at various points of the year.
Virginia’s Malik Washington is only 5’9″ and 192 pounds, but he was incredibly productive as a possession threat. His quickness and reliable hands led to 1,426 yards and nine touchdowns on 110 receptions in 2023.
79) Denver Broncos: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan
The Wolverines’ defense has been loaded over the last few years. Cornerback Mike Sainristil has developed into a solid player and projects nicely as a CB2 at the next level.
His anticipation and ball skills have greatly improved, and Denver is looking for a playmaker to complement star Patrick Surtain II.
80) Seattle Seahawks: T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State
One of the best zone corners in the country is T.J. Tampa. He’s rarely targeted as an off-ball defender, making his projection somewhat difficult. But Tampa’s coverage stats are strong, and his 6’2″, 190-pound frame makes it easier to trust his talent.
81) Arizona Cardinals: Rod Moore, S, Michigan
A minor knee injury caused Rod Moore to miss several weeks at the start of the season, but his return brought immediate production. With six interceptions over the last two years, Moore is clearly a playmaker who can raise the floor and ceiling of any unit he’s on.
Arizona desperately needs that type of contributor in its secondary.
82) Green Bay Packers: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
The Packers can offer Ruke Orhorhoro some time to develop his natural athleticism. He’s only played football for a few years, and it shows. However, those moments when he puts his tools together are special flashes of what he could be.
83) Los Angeles Rams: D.J. James, CB, Auburn
A hyper-fluid, versatile CB who can play inside or outside, D.J. James gives Los Angeles a defensive weapon to move around. The Rams will value someone who can step in immediately, and James’ experience and high IQ will impact this unit.
84) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
This will be a tough offseason for Tampa Bay as they must extend Mike Evans and look at reconfiguring Chris Godwin’s deal. Godwin has struggled to fit in with Baker Mayfield, so adding another complementary receiver makes sense.
MORE: 2024 Senior Bowl Rosters
Western Kentucky’s Malachi Corley has rare play strength and the ability to produce with the ball in his hands.
85) Detroit Lions: Jamari Thrash, WR, Louisville
An explosive athlete who puts pressure on defenders to guess his routes or risk giving up a big play downfield, Jamari Thrash would fit in Detroit’s aggressive passing attack. Eventually, he could replace Josh Reynolds as a rotational pass catcher.
86) Cincinnati Bengals: Max Melton, CB, Rutgers
Since Cincinnati doesn’t need a Day 1 starter at cornerback, they can develop an athletic ball of clay like Max Melton.
Melton, at 6’0″, 190 pounds, has good ball skills and production. However, he needs refinement with his footwork and leverage reads before earning trust.
87) Indianapolis Colts: Javion Cohen, G, Miami (FL)
A heavy-handed blocker who is better in the run game than as a pass blocker right now, Javion Cohen has the physical tools to be a solid starter.
Indianapolis was able to get most of its line playing better in 2023, so head coach Shane Steichen can afford to trust his ability to get the most out of athletes like Cohen who need a little seasoning.
88) Jacksonville Jaguars: Zak Zinter, G, Michigan
A devastating broken tibia and fibula against Ohio State ended Zak Zinter’s season prematurely. When he’s healthy, few guards are as effective as him. He’s a menacing 6’6″, 322-pounder who dominated throughout his career.
Zinter’s a little tall to be a guard, but he should settle in as a good starter wherever he lands.
89) Kansas City Chiefs: Darius Robinson, EDGE, Missouri
Kansas City has dumped resources into its defensive line trying to keep the unit deep and effective, and they can’t stop now.
The 6’5″, 291-pound Darius Robinson can play alongside their corps of talent without hurting Felix Anudike-Uzomah’s development. Robinson is more of a 3-4 end or strong side 4-3 end than an explosive pass rusher.
90) Cleveland Browns: Javon Foster, OT, Missouri
Cleveland thought they’d have a franchise LT after drafting Jedrick Wills Jr. in the first round of the 2020 class, but Wills has been inconsistent. Adding a developmental body to sharpen into a starter for 2025 would be wise.
Missouri’s Javon Foster is a punishing run defender with the tools to be an effective pass blocker.
91) Detroit Lions: Calen Bullock, S, USC
The Lions could use as much secondary help as they can possibly get. Adding the rangy Calen Bullock will help prevent big plays over the top of their defense and increase the number of turnovers they force.
Bullock isn’t a great tackler or option in man coverage, but the Lions have better alternatives for those roles.
92) Houston Texans: Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn State
With 9.5 sacks over the last two seasons, Adisa Isaac is more than just an impressive athlete playing football. He’s a speed rusher who doesn’t have the consistent leverage or power to be a three-down player right away, but Houston can offer him the chance to compete for playing time while the staff fine-tunes his game.
93) Dallas Cowboys: Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina
Cedric Gray is built for the modern NFL. The 6’2″, 225-pounder is rangy and has an explosive first step, which is a big reason why he totaled 365 tackles, 29 TFLs, 8.5 sacks, and five interceptions over the last three years. Gray’s insane production has caught the eye of evaluators across the country, and his film doesn’t disappoint.
94) San Francisco 49ers: Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
As great as Christian McCaffrey has been, the 49ers could use a reliable threat behind him.
Devin Neal was undeniable in 2023. The junior back carried Kansas’ offense while Jalon Daniels has been hurt, showing off much sharper cuts and better acceleration that allows him to create advantageous angles. Neal averaged 6.6 yards per carry and 8.9 yards per catch this season.
95) Baltimore Ravens: McKinnley Jackson, DT, Texas A&M
McKinnley Jackson can be, at minimum, a solid role player for this competitive roster.
Jackson is as stout as any run defender in the class, able to draw in multiple blockers easily. Baltimore will love his ability to play on Day 1.
96) Washington Commanders: Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado State
Washington will need to replace Montez Sweat and Chase Young this offseason.
Colorado State’s Mohamed Kamara is a late bloomer, putting together 13 sacks and 17 tackles for loss in 2023. The 6’3″, 245-pound speed-rusher saw a dramatic improvement in his move set and ability to adapt throughout games in 2023.
