- Second Round
- Third Round
With Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft in the books, here’s a look at how Rounds 2 and 3 could play out on Friday in Detroit, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
Buffalo acquires a promising receiver prospect who possesses exceptional attributes and a high potential for growth.
The Patriots have bolstered their defense by adding a sizable and experienced cornerback, signaling the end of McKinstry’s fall. This new player has experience in multiple coverages.
The Cardinals necessitate strengthening the center of their offensive line, and Powers-Johnson presents a robust and sizeable option for them.
DeJean, who has the ability to play either cornerback or safety, is a fervent tackler with excellent instincts.
Fiske is all gas and no brakes on every single snap, which is exactly what Jim Harbaugh is looking for.
Newton enhances Tennessee’s pass rush from the defensive interior.
Cooper possesses exceptional speed and is known for his powerful hits. This linebacker can cover vast areas and has the ability to keep an eye on athletic quarterbacks.
Washington, in a state of desperation for the tackle position, eagerly recruits this unrefined yet promising player from BYU.
Colson has a sheriff’s demeanor in the middle of the defense and should pair nicely with Quay Walker.
Sainristil’s aggressive run support and competitive coverage align with the defensive mentality that DeMeco Ryans values.
Atlanta secures secondary assistance with a physical corner from Missouri who enjoys crowding and annoying wide receivers.
If Paul, who boasts some of the longest arms in the entire draft at 36 1/4 inches, can master the timing, he has the potential to be a durable starter for the Raiders.
McConkey is very hard to cover in man-to-man, and even when covered, he rarely drops on-target throws.
Wilson provides another field-stretching option — one who also can work across all areas of the field — for second-year QB Anthony Richardson.
After losing Saquon Barkley to the rival Eagles in free agency, the Giants add this talented Texas runner who is on the mend from an ACL tear last November.
Braswell offers the much-needed depth in pass-rush with the potential to assume a starting role in the near future.
Franklin’s game is similar to that of Tee Higgins, making him a natural fit if/when Higgins departs.
Hunt, an edge rusher with remarkable traits from a small school, won’t be overlooked by the Eagles, who have a penchant for players with outstanding height, weight, length, and speed.
Coleman, a large and reliable possession receiver, is capable of stepping in and managing difficult catches over the initial two levels.
Bullard’s ability to play in the slot or on the back end provides the Rams with the flexibility to shift him around as required.
Nubin could potentially be the draft’s most instinctive safety and is likely to quickly become a favorite among fans.
Orhorhoro didn’t step up his game in 2023 following a strong performance in 2022, but his strength and talent are clearly visible on tape.
Jenkins’ game is somewhat similar to Christian Wilkins‘, which could help soften the blow of the stud defensive tackle’s departure in free agency.
Dallas is desperately in need of a center player. Fortunately, Frazier is still available to fill the starting position.
Though Lassiter may not be the fastest cornerback, he compensates with his toughness and tenacity. He has the capability to play man or zone, whether from an inside or outside position.
Phillips, a name that has been gaining heat over the past month, is precisely the kind of nickel corner that could excel in the scheme of new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
Hall is among the draft’s most dynamic interior pass rushers, yet his smaller size could make him more suited to creating disruption in subpackages.
After the breakup of longtime safety duo Jordan Poyer (signed with Miami) and Micah Hyde (currently a free agent), the Bills dive into the draft pool to find a player at the position with size and instincts to challenge throws and make plays.
Kneeland is an energetic pass rusher with an excellent knack for reaching the edge and rounding the corner.
Fisher is a skilled tackle possessing the athleticism and potential to play on either the left or right side throughout his career.
Thanks to his toughness and ability to adapt to zone-scheme rush attacks, Rosengarten’s stock has been consistently rising during the draft process.
Amegadjie would have been a sure-fire second-rounder if he’d been healthy during the pre-draft process. Brett Veach and Andy Reid recognize his upside and get a potential steal at No. 64.
