James Fragoza’s 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft: Malik Nabers Pairs With Justin Herbert, J.J. McCarthy Unseats Daniel Jones

    Free agency is largely in the rearview mirror, and the 2024 NFL Draft is less than 20 days away. Does your favorite team ace this 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft?

    NFL Combine, check. Free agency, check. The last major event before teams take the practice field is the 2024 NFL Draft. Yet, there are still nearly 19 days until our favorite teams hit the podium (20 for those without first-round picks). To fill the time and preview the top prospects, here’s a 7-Round 2024 NFL Mock Draft for your enjoyment.

    2024 NFL Mock Draft | Round 1

    Want to see who can create the best mock draft with nine of your friends? Now you can with PFN’s free Mock Draft Simulator! But before you do, take a look at the selections below to get a step above the competition. Beginning in Round 6, small-school and lesser-known players await your discovery.

    1) Chicago Bears (From CAR): Caleb Williams, QB, USC

    Having preferences is fine, but bashing a player for painting his nails, having a pink phone case, and crying with his mom after a tough loss is embarrassing. All Caleb Williams has done throughout his college career is proof that he’s the top QB prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft and isn’t afraid to be himself.

    Don’t want him on your team? That’s OK; just don’t cry with your mom when he torches your defense.

    2) Washington Commanders: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

    North Carolina head coach Mack Brown said Drake Maye has “Super Bowl written all over him.” While Maye can play himself into trouble with arrogant throws and ball security when rushing, it’s not hard to see how Brown came to that opinion.

    At 21 years old, he’s nowhere near his ceiling and already translates well to the NFL. Maye can win from the pocket with eyes, throw WRs open, and create out of structure. There’s no need to overthink it here.

    3) New England Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

    Jayden Daniels could go No. 2, but it comes down to what you want under center. Maye is the better passer, while Daniels is more of a threat with his legs. Don’t get me wrong; the LSU QB has a beautiful deep ball and can throw over the middle better than Twitter will have you believe.

    Yet, he had Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. on the outside, creating open throwing lanes and coming down with contested targets. But Daniels isn’t a consolation prize at No. 3 — give him the keys and watch the offense hit a new gear. 

    4) Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

    There isn’t much to say about Marvin Harrison Jr. that hasn’t already been said. Here’s a list of what he can do: win off the line, win at the break, win at the catch point, win downfield, and win after the catch. Here’s what he can’t do: lose.

    5) Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

    No Mike Williams and no Keenan Allen likely means the Chargers are taking a WR at No. 5. With MHJ off the board, that leaves only two options: Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze. While Odunze may be more of a “can’t miss” prospect, Nabers’ speed and athletic ability vault him about the Washington pass catcher.

    6) New York Giants: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

    Daniel Jones isn’t the answer, and neither is Drew Lock. The Giants have to begin a new era. J.J. McCarthy is a proven winner with the raw tools to compete with the top of the class.

    MORE: Top QBs in the 2024 NFL Draft

    With Jones and Lock on the roster, he can sit for a year to hone his craft (which is a must for his professional outlook) and take the league by storm in 2025.

    7) Tennessee Titans: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

    Will Levis may not be the answer (more on that later), but the Titans have to give him a fighting chance. They added Calvin Ridley to the receiving corps, which is a plus, but the offensive line still needs help. Joe Alt can secure the blindside, allowing Levis to stand tall in the pocket and deliver strikes downfield.

    8) Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama

    Dallas Turner has all the physical gifts to be the edge rusher Atlanata has prayed for since John Abraham. His 4.46 40-yard dash, 40.5″ vertical, and 10’7″ broad jump highlight his explosiveness, but his pass-rush arsenal is limited. If he can win with more than just speed and power, Turner will terrorize NFL offensive tackles.

    9) Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

    If there is one adjective to describe Rome Odunze‘s game, it’s “smooth.” He’s a fluid mover and a route-running technician who can create separation with ease. Pairing him with Williams will only benefit all parties involved.

    10) New York Jets: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State

    Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses are the projected starting tackles, but the Jets must future-proof the position. Olu Fashanu could’ve been OT1 had he declared last year but chose to return to school. As an elite pass protector, the Penn State product will keep Aaron Rodgers upright at tackle or guard in Year 1.

    11) Minnesota Vikings: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama

    The Vikings don’t need “potential” at corner — they need a sure thing. Enter Terrion Arnold. He may never be able to beat an elite WR 1-on-1, but there are few holes in his game. Arnold is instinctual in zone, can wrap up in the open field, and, as with any Alabama DB, is well-coached.

    12) Denver Broncos: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State

    Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. are talented but not worth first-round picks, especially in the top 15. Thus, the Broncos have to target another position of need: EDGE. If it were not for Turner being a physical specimen, Jared Verse would be the top edge defender in the class.

    He’s physical at the point of attack, has a good first step and bend, and brings a power element few in the class provide without sacrificing speed.

    13) Las Vegas Raiders: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State

    Head coach Antonio Pierce is an old-school football mind, leaning heavily on the ground game to set the tone. Taliese Fuaga fits the mold perfectly and can pave lanes at right tackle for years to come.

    14) New Orleans Saints: Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington

    The Saints must retool the offensive line, and Troy Fautanu can slide into either tackle or guard spots. He can battle Trevor Penning for the LT role, with the loser kicking inside. Fautanu will pancake defenders as a run blocker, then stonewall them in pass pro on the next play.

    15) Indianapolis Colts: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

    Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and now Brock Bowers. Fully healthy, that’s one of the best skill position units in the league.

    Bowers isn’t much of a blocker due to his size, but it’s not for a lack of effort. And where he struggles in the run game, he makes up for as a pass catcher, turning short targets into long gains with his YAC ability.

    16) Seattle Seahawks: Graham Barton, G, Duke

    Charles Cross has cemented himself at left tackle, and Abraham Lucas should bounce back next season after an injury-riddled 2023 campaign. However, the interior needs an overhaul — one that may force Seattle to take a guard in Round 1.

    MORE: Top iOL in the 2024 NFL Draft

    While iOL players aren’t usually worthy of such high capital, Graham Barton bucks the trend. He started at LT the last three years after beginning his collegiate career as a center. His size and length translate better inside, and his athleticism and technique will lead to Barton being a perennial starter in the NFL.

    17) Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

    Quinyon Mitchell has skyrocketed his draft stock during the pre-draft process, locking up wide receivers at the Senior Bowl before running a 4.33 40-yard dash at the Combine. Offenses will need Raid on the field because Mitchell is a pest in coverage and has the best ball skills in the class.

    18) Cincinnati Bengals: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

    Tackles don’t come much bigger or more athletic than Amarius Mims. He has a ways to go to be a consistently dominant tackle, but he’ll have time to develop behind fellow behemoths Orlando Brown Jr. and Trent Brown. Mims has all the physical gifts that offensive line coach Frank Pollack dreams of working with.

    19) Los Angeles Rams: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA

    There’s an argument for Laiatu Latu being the top EDGE in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he lacks power and, more worrisome, medically retired due to a neck injury early in his collegiate career.

    Nevertheless, purely on tape, Latu is one of the best pass rushers in recent draft history, able to separate his upper half from his lower half to finish at the QB.

    20) Pittsburgh Steelers: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

    Look, I understand Cooper DeJean could probably be an excellent safety. But we’ve already seen him excel as a corner; why move him? His feel in off-coverage keeps him a step ahead of his opponent, and he’s the best tackler among all corners in the class.

    21) Miami Dolphins: JC Latham, OT, Alabama

    The offensive line has been a pain spot for the Dolphins, and JC Latham is the remedy. He can start on the interior to begin his career and move to left tackle when Terron Armstead misses his obligatory several games a year. Latham didn’t allow a sack at Alabama and packs a punch in the running game.

    22) Philadelphia Eagles: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson

    Nate Wiggins‘ closing speed shuts down throwing windows before QBs can even register what happened. He also has the manual transmission to make up ground downfield and the length to contest targets others can’t.

    23) Minnesota Vikings (From HOU via CLE): Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois

    After bolstering their CB room with their first Round 1 pick, the Vikings double-dip on defense and add Johnny Newton to the front four. Newton is violence incarnate, aiming to take the heads off QBs’ shoulders. His hand usage and block-shedding ability make him a star in all phases.

    24) Dallas Cowboys: Jackson Powers-Johnson, OL, Oregon

    It starts up front for Dallas, and Jackson Powers-Johnson injects youth and vigor into a unit that needs it. JPJ’s grip strength, kill-or-be-killed mentality, and dense frame thwart most attempts to get through or around him.

    25) Green Bay Packers: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State

    The Packers have one of the best offenses in the league, but they’re missing an alpha WR who can win on third down and in the red zone. 6’3″ and 213-pound Keon Coleman can do just that, coming down with highlight-reel contested catches with regularity.

    26) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mason McCormick, OL, South Dakota State

    Seemingly every year, a small-school offensive lineman hears his name called in the first round. Mason McCormick has my vote to be that player in the 2024 NFL Draft.

    The South Dakota State stalwart has 57 starts and three years of being a captain under his belt. He did exactly what you expect from small-school NFL prospects: dominate. Lining him up opposite Year 2 Cody Mauch could produce craters for running backs to run through.

    27) Arizona Cardinals (From HOU): Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State

    Chop Robinson lacks polish, but his athletic ability will force a team at the bottom of the first round to pull the trigger.

    MORE: 2024 NFL Combine Results 

    His first-step explosiveness and flexibility around the arc are not coachable, but his hand usage/placement and lack of counters are. With proper tutelage, Robinson can become a game wrecker off the edge.

    28) Buffalo Bills: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU

    Nabers isn’t the only 2024 NFL Draft prospect keeping LSU’s “WRU” bid alive. Brian Thomas Jr. instantly fills the Gabe Davis role in Buffalo, winning vertically with his size and speed.

    His presence will keep the field open so that Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid can operate underneath and in the intermediate areas of the field, lightening the load left by the Stefon Diggs trade.

    29) Detroit Lions: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

    The Lions traded for Carlton Davis and signed Amik Robertson to enhance their secondary, and bringing in Kool-Aid McKinstry could be the final piece. A physical and long corner, McKinstry stays low and balanced in his backpedal and is comfortable on an island.

    30) Baltimore Ravens: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas

    Zay Flowers was an electric addition in the first round last year, but the Ravens would be wise to dip into the WR well again in the 2024 NFL Draft. Adonai Mitchell gives Lamar Jackson a bigger-bodied weapon on the outside that can stretch the field, taking third-level defenders’ eyes off the backfield.

    31) San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma

    Trent Williams is getting longer in the tooth, and the 49ers must start looking for his long-term replacement. Tyler Guyton‘s movement skills at 6’8″ and over 320 pounds are uncanny.

    He fires off the snap, has cinder blocks for hands, and covers ground quickly. Learning from one of the greatest to ever do it will benefit Guyton as a rookie.

    32) Kansas City Chiefs: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas

    Chris Jones just won a Super Bowl and got the bag from the Chiefs, but 2024 is the gift that keeps on giving for the star DT. Kansas City selects Byron Murphy II to end Day 1, pairing Jones with the running mate he’s longed for.

    A versatile three-down playmaker, Murphy can take advantage of 1-on-1s and shift up and down the line in Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme.

    Round 2

    2024 NFL Mock Draft

    33) Carolina Panthers: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia

    Bryce Young struggled mightily as a rookie, and the lack of separation from his receivers was a big reason why. Separation is Ladd McConkey‘s middle name, as he uses his Garrett Wilson-esque physical profile and athleticism to snap down at the top of routes and make himself available.

    34) New England Patriots: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU

    Kingsley Suamataia has room to grow as a technician, but all the tools are there for him to become a long-term starting tackle.

    35) Arizona Cardinals: Christian Haynes, G, UConn

    A bully up front, Christian Haynes is at his best on the move, combining his brute force and short-area athleticism to pancake defenders in the ground game.

    36) Washington Commanders: Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona

    With fast hands and feet, Jordan Morgan moves like a starting lineman. However, his lack of strength must be improved early, or opposing defensive linemen will blow him off the ball, whether at tackle or guard.

    37) Los Angeles Chargers: Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri

    Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa are still in-house, but the Chargers need to add some muscle on the defensive line. Darius Robinson can line up wherever new DC Jesse Minter envisions, leaving disruption in his wake.

    38) Tennessee Titans: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington

    Sure, the Titans should build around Levis to see if he can be the face of the franchise. But why not take another swing with a highly touted prospect on the board? Michael Penix Jr. is a consistent thrower with the ability to get out of trouble with his legs.

    39) Carolina Panthers (From NYG): Zach Frazier, OL, West Virginia

    Improving the WR corps was step No. 1 in rehabilitating Young in Year 2. Step No. 2 is beefing up the offensive line. Zach Frazier can play all three interior positions, but with Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis signing as free agents, Frazier would likely start at center.

    40) Washington Commanders (From CHI): T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State

    T.J. Tampa can bump and run with most in this class, using his physicality to throw WRs off their spot. Remaining patient and keeping his eyes on his opponent’s hips will only lead to fewer completions.

    41) Green Bay Packers (From NYJ): Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota

    New Packers DC Jeff Hafley uses single-high coverages, which Xavier McKinney thrives in. Tyler Nubin can slide in as the starting box safety from Day 1, crashing in the run game and making plays as a coverage defender with his eyes and ball skills.

    42) Houston Texans (From MIN): T’Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas

    If a boulder ever became conscious, it would look like T’Vondre Sweat. The 6’5″, 366-pound DT can fill multiple gaps and push back double-teams simply by leaning forward.

    43) Atlanta Falcons: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon

    Kirk Cousins has proven two things in his career: He can make generational wealth by putting up regular-season stats, and he is a non-factor in the postseason. Is Bo Nix a starting-caliber QB? I have my concerns, but the Falcons need a succession plan.

    44) Las Vegas Raiders: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia

    Kamari Lassiter doesn’t have the physical tools that make analysts and fans drool, but he’s technically sound and anticipates plays before they happen.

    45) New Orleans Saints (From DEN): Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson

    Ruke Orhorhoro can start in Year 1 with alignment versatility, but he can expand his pass-rush moves to be more effective in that area as his career progresses.

    46) Indianapolis Colts: Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn State

    Hands are half the battle as a pass rusher, and Adisa Isaac has an elite pair. He needs to add some weight to better hold up against the run and bring power off the edge.

    47) New York Giants (From SEA): Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri

    Decent-at-best long speed will force Ennis Rakestraw Jr. into more zone-heavy looks, but his football IQ and control/patience in coverage are reliable.

    48) Jacksonville Jaguars: Braden Fiske, DT, Florida State

    Quicker than fast, Braden Fiske breaks the sound barrier with his first three steps. His quick penetration style makes up for his size limitations, and pressure up the middle is a QB’s worst nightmare.

    49) Cincinnati Bengals: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas

    Will Xavier Worthy fall this far in the actual 2024 NFL Draft after his record-setting 40-yard dash? Probably not, but a light breeze can blow his frame over, let alone grown men in the NFL.

    MORE: Top WRs in the 2024 NFL Draft

    With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins outside, that becomes less of an issue, especially with Joe Burrow throwing him out of harm’s way.

    50) Philadelphia Eagles (From NO): Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M

    Peanut butter and jelly. Fish and chips. The Eagles and taking a linebacker in Round 2. Edgerrin Cooper is the best LB in the class and joins Nakobe Dean and Devin White to form a terrifying trio.

    51) Pittsburgh Steelers: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

    No Diontae Johnson, no problem! There are a lot of impressive WR prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, causing Troy Franklin to get lost in the shuffle a bit. Yet, he’s a long 6’2″ smooth strider with consistent hands and footwork.

    52) Los Angeles Rams: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

    Patrick Paul is a bit of a project still, but he has the size and length you bet on. While hand placement and foot speed will be an issue early on, he showed improvement in his fundamentals from 2022 to 2023.

    53) Philadelphia Eagles: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State

    The Eagles are set at tackle and center — all they need is a mauling guard. Cooper Beebe is a two-dollar steak on the interior, with the toughness and awareness of a 10-year veteran.

    54) Cleveland Browns: Leonard Taylor III, DT, Miami (FL)

    Leonard Taylor III is not a “set it and forget it” defensive tackle just yet, but the Browns need talent inside. He looks and moves like a jumbo LB, but his motor runs hot and cold.

    55) Miami Dolphins: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky

    The other 31 teams would kick themselves in the shins if they allowed Malachi Corley to land with the Dolphins. His YAC ability in Mike McDaniel’s offense will torment defenses.

    56) Dallas Cowboys: Trey Benson, RB, Florida State

    Deuce Vaughn cannot be the Cowboys’ starting RB in 2024. Trey Benson has the build and athleticism to be a No. 1 back, but he has to trust his blocks instead of relying on his physical tools.

    57) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Max Melton, CB, Rutgers

    The younger brother of Packers WR Bo Melton, Max Melton has had a great pre-draft process. His inside/outside versatility was already worthy of a Day 2 selection, but jumping out of Lucas Oil Stadium (40.5″ vertical and 11’4″ broad) only sealed his stock.

    58) Green Bay Packers: Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington

    A Combine riser, Roger Rosengarten may not make it out of Round 2. His athletic ability is well-known, but his lack of play strength isn’t talked about enough. He won’t be able to start without serious struggles in Year 1, but the potential is there.

    59) Houston Texans: Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington

    There is no questioning Bralen Trice‘s down-to-down effort. He lives for the trenches and is most effective from a wider alignment, giving him a straighter shot at the QB with his speed-to-power conversion.

    60) Buffalo Bills: Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami (FL)

    Mike Edwards and Taylor Rapp are slated to be the Bills’ starting safeties in 2024 — quite the fall from Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. Kamren Kinchens has the vision, range, and ball skills to start as a free/deep safety early in his career.

    61) Detroit Lions: Chris Braswell, EDGE, Alabama

    Although Chris Braswell doesn’t have the bend to win around the arc consistently, he has a high floor with his length/strength/speed combination.

    62) Baltimore Ravens: Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State

    Pass-rush specialists on the interior are becoming more commonplace, and Michael Hall Jr. fits the bill. His 6’3″ and 280-pound frame was built to knife through gaps and cross offensive linemen’s faces.

    63) San Francisco 49ers: Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina

    Xavier Legette‘s physical profile (6’1″, 221 pounds, 4.39 40-yard dash, and 40″ vertical) will have NFL teams intrigued, and his background is awe-inspiring. If there is a Day 2 WR to believe in, it’s Legette.

    64) Kansas City Chiefs: Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon

    Kyhree Jackson is a 6’4″ CB built for Spagnuolo’s press-man scheme. He must anticipate routes with more consistency to stay ahead rather than behind, but his size/athleticism combo is rare.

    Round 3

    2024 NFL Mock Draft

    65) Carolina Panthers: Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE, Western Michigan

    Marshawn Kneeland played well from 2021-22, but he took his game to a new level in 2023. His skill set is built around power, aiming to run through tackles rather than around them.

    66) Arizona Cardinals: Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest

    A strong tackler, Caelen Carson plays above his weight class in all phases. He can operate inside and out with a plug-and-play skill set.

    67) Washington Commanders: Brandon Dorlus, DL, Oregon

    Brandon Dorlus lined up from 1- to 7-tech at Oregon and is quick enough to win inside and powerful enough to win outside.

    68) New England Patriots: Ja’Lynn Polk, WR, Washington

    Behind Odunze, Washington has two other WRs of note, beginning with Ja’Lynn Polk. He’s a reliable hands catcher with short-area acceleration, which allows him to win on release and at the break.

    69) Los Angeles Chargers: Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan

    While Kris Jenkins may never be a plus pass rusher, he’s already a potent run blocker with a quick first step to shoot gaps.

    70) New York Giants: Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida

    Quick off the line with strong hands and savvy routes, Ricky Pearsall can dominate from the slot as a rookie.

    71) Arizona Cardinals (From TEN): Payton Wilson, LB, NC State

    When Luke Kuechly speaks about LB prospects, you listen. His favorite in 2024? Payton Wilson. The only knocks on him are his injury history and age, but everything else screams starting LB.

    72) New York Jets: Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan

    Pairing a turbocharged athletic dynamo with Aaron Rodgers shouldn’t be allowed, but Roman Wilson falls to the Jets in Round 3, forming a new receiving corps featuring Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and Xavier Gipson.

    73) Detroit Lions (From MIN): Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College

    Christian Mahogany has center potential, but he is already a proven asset at both left and right guard. His natural leverage and proportional length allow him to unleash his mauling mentality, moving opponents against their will.

    74) Atlanta Falcons: Renardo Green, CB, Florida State

    Man coverage-leaning defenses will fall for Renardo Green due to his recovery speed and mirroring ability, but he can develop as a zone processor to utilize the tools at his disposal.

    75) Chicago Bears: Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU

    An explosive force at 3-tech with the movement skills of a linebacker, Mekhi Wingo is a pass-rush dynamo on the interior.

    MORE: 2024 NFL Draft Big Board

    That role, while limited, is valuable in today’s NFL, and he has the room to grow into a three-down player.

    76) Denver Broncos: Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina

    Jarrett Stidham is the projected starter for the Broncos. Yikes. Spencer Rattler won’t be the answer in Year 1, but he’s shown enough to earn a flier. He’s matured on and off the field and is mechanical in the pocket with the creativity to make plays outside of it.

    77) Las Vegas Raiders: Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington

    The other other standout Washington WR, Jalen McMillan is a route-running savant. He also has the speed to threaten defenses downfield, separates routinely, and converts at the catch point. What’s not to like?

    78) Washington Commanders (From SEA): Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina

    With requisite mass, density, and proportional length, Cedric Gray looks like an LB, and his sideline-to-sideline range allows his build to explode on the screen.

    79) Atlanta Falcons (From JAX): Beau Brade, S, Maryland

    Beau Brade is next off the Maryland NFL DB conveyor belt, bringing the physicality and run support talent that teams treasure in a safety.

    80) Cincinnati Bengals: McKinnley Jackson, DT, Texas A&M

    The Bengals need to fill D.J. Reader’s shoes as best they can, and McKinnley Jackson, at 6’2″ and 326 pounds, can do just that in run defense.

    81) Seattle Seahawks (From DEN): Junior Colson, LB, Michigan

    From one Michigan system to another, Junior Colson meshes well with Mike Macdonald’s scheme. His movement skills at 250 pounds are visible, and he attacks gaps with ferocity as a run defender.

    82) Indianapolis Colts: Cole Bishop, S, Utah

    Cole Bishop was built in the lab to be a slot/box safety. He covers a lot of ground and is versatile in coverage, leading to a clear role in Year 1.

    83) Los Angeles Rams: Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame

    In three seasons as a starting corner, Cam Hart never allowed a reception of 40+ yards. Having a 6’3″ frame certainly helps, but he’s still shading in the ancillary parts of his game.

    84) Pittsburgh Steelers: Sedrick Van Pran, C, Georgia

    Outside of owning an elite name, Sedrick Van Pran hasn’t allowed a sack in the last two years at Georgia. His athleticism (or lack thereof) will keep him at center in the league, but he’s a damn good one.

    85) Cleveland Browns: Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale

    Kiran Amegadjie only played four games in 2023 due to injury. However, he put enough on tape — at an FCS school, no less — to warrant a top-100 selection.

    86) Houston Texans: Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina

    The Texans don’t necessarily need to take a WR this early, but Devontez Walker brings a vertical ability that complements Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

    87) Dallas Cowboys: Johnny Wilson, WR, Florida State

    Whether the Cowboys use him as a TE convert or keep him at WR, Johnny Wilson is a towering presence whose coordination, explosiveness, and balance at 6’6″ is NBA-esque.

    88) Green Bay Packers: Trevin Wallace, LB, Kentucky

    Do you need a linebacker who does not miss tackles, creates pop on contact, and has the athleticism to mold as a coverage defender? Trevin Wallace is your guy.

    89) Tampa Bay Buccanneers: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. LB, Clemson

    With limiting size, length, and explosiveness, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. might be a hard sell for some teams. But he has two seasons of teach tape from the second level, utilizing sound fundamentals, instincts, and patience to be in the right spot.

    90) Arizona Cardinals (From HOU): Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas

    After riding the pine his first two seasons, Jonathon Brooks burst out of Bijan Robinson’s shadow, rushing for over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs. He can thrive in zone or gap schemes, with a torn ACL the only glaring question mark on his scouting report.

    91) Green Bay Packers (From BUF): Will Shipley, RB, Clemson

    Will Shipley won’t break many tackles, but he can force defenders to miss. His elusiveness makes him a weapon with the ball in his hands, both as a zone runner and receiver.

    92) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (From DET): Jermaine Burton, WR, Alabama

    Across four seasons and two different SEC teams, Jermaine Burton has never averaged less than 15.0 yards per reception, hitting 20.5 with Alabama in 2023. Winning alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin won’t be an issue.

    93) Baltimore Ravens: Dominick Puni, G, Kansas

    Dominick Puni was made for Baltimore. His size and power profile translate perfectly to their run-heavy system, and he can even move to tackle in a pinch.

    94) San Francisco 49ers: Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri

    With 33 pass breakups and seven interceptions over the last three years, there’s no denying Kris Abrams-Draine‘s ball-hawk ability. A former WR, he’s still learning the nuances of the position but has the fluidity to shine.

    95) Kansas City Chiefs: Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State

    Travis Kelce’s reign of terror is nearing its end, and Ben Sinnott could ultimately take the baton. However, as a do-it-all weapon, Andy Reid can get creative with him during his first couple of years in Kansas City.

    96) Jacksonville Jaguars: Malik Washington, WR, Virginia

    We know how Malik Washington looks as the focal point of a passing attack: 110 catches, 1,426 yards, and nine touchdowns.

    Of course, slot-only options aren’t as sought-after as their boundary counterparts, but Washington’s change of direction and acceleration are cheat codes on two-way go’s.

    97) Cincinnati Bengals: D.J. James, CB, Auburn

    D.J. James can click and close in an instant with the fluidity to turn and burn downfield against faster opponents. His top speed and overall play strength leave some to be desired, but the list of weaknesses doesn’t extend far beyond that.

    98) Pittsburgh Steelers: Javon Bullard, S, Georgia

    Although he took most of his snaps at deep safety last year, Javon Bullard is tailor-made for the slot. He can tackle in the open field, be an add-on in the box, and carry routes vertically.

    99) Los Angeles Rams: DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke

    DeWayne Carter doesn’t have the physical tools of other DTs in the class, but his natural leverage and pass-rush toolbox provide a high floor.

    100) Washington Commanders (From SF): Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech

    Dadrion Taylor-Demerson can slide into the free safety role Malik Hooker played for Dan Quinn’s defense last year. DTD shoots out of a cannon when he trusts his eyes and will make plays all over the field.

    Why would the titans take pennix when Frazier was there to solidify the oline and protect a qb they already have in place. Are you sniffing paint?

    If indy gets bowers WATCH OUT

    The fact you don’t have the Raiders selecting a QB or a RB is an absolute joke.

    I agree with and like your first two selections. They have to be OT and WR. I disagree with most of the rest of your picks. Calen Bullock is a FS. The Jets already have 2 FS in Tony Adams Jarrick Bernard-Converse. At present they only have one SS Chuck Clark, who is coming off of a major injury. A much better choice would be Jaden Hicks or later in the draft Kitan Oladapo. Both are SS prospects. Michael Pratt doesn’t have an NFL-caliber arm. It could be a smokescreen, but the Jets are rumored to like Jordan Travis, and he would be a better choice. The Jets need another RB, and could use upgraded IOL depth, or even a 2nd WR. It’s pointless to draft a P and K as they aren’t going to make the team, and I doubt that the Jets would take up two PS spots with a K and P. Also, with losing Hardee, imo the Jets are likely to draft a S, or CB for STs and depth.
