Round one: No selection

The Panthers were without a first-round pick after trading it to the Bears last year. So they need an immediate playmaker at No. 33. McConkey is a polished and intelligent wideout who could be a dual threat as a returner too.

Trade details:
Raiders receive No. 34 (2nd) overall
Patriots receive Nos. 44 (1st), 112 (4th), and 148 (5th) overall

Round one: J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama

The Raiders could have gone quarterback in round one but addressed their line instead before making a Day 2 phone call to New England. With multiple areas of need, the Patriots move back 10 spots to pick up a fourth and fifth. Las Vegas takes a gamble on Penix.

Round one: Marvin Harrison, Jr., WR, Ohio State
Round one: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois

The Cardinals need more help on offense, and Worthy is the all-time 40-yard dash king of the combine. Worthy can excel as a complement to Harrison Jr., as well as a return man with the new NFL kickoff rules. The Cardinals add a third player to continue their impressive start to the draft.

Round one: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

After getting a quarterback to lead Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, the Commanders have a solid war chest of picks left, so they turn their attention to pass rushing help. Robinson has Round 1 talent, but slips to Washington in the early second.

Round one: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

The Chargers went with wide receiver help in Round 1 and can switch to defense in Round 2. A tough and physical corner lands in LA as Mizzou players go back-to-back.

Round one: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

Tenessee goes old-school football by building the trenches. After getting Joe Alt on offense in the first round, they land Fiske, a force on the defensive line who will immediately help the Titans. What Fiske lacks in sheer size and measurables, he makes up for with a high motor and relentlessness.

Round two: Ladd McConkey WR – Georgia

The Panthers bring in the best cornerback still on the board and another Georgia Bulldog. Perhaps McConkey and Lassiter can hitch a ride to Charlotte together. The pair stays together, and Carolina gets a dog at corner.

Round one: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Round two: Darius Robinson Jr., EDGE, Missouri

The Commanders need a protector for their rookie quarterback. BYU’s athletic tackle Kingsley Suamataia would do the trick.

Round one: Byron Murphy II, DL, Texas

The Packers are building from the inside out. Here they add protection and help for young quarterback Jordan Love. Frazier is a physical and intelligent center who could also play guard, if needed.

Round one: No selection

With their first selection in the 2024 NFL draft, Houston goes defense with a Gophers safety. Nubin is perhaps the best at the position in the class. Houston traded for Stefon Diggs earlier in the offseason, making this pick a well-rounded addition to the Texans, who are building themselves into a contender.

Round one: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State

Newly acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins is used to throwing to top-tier targets, and Oregon’s Franklin fits the bill as a potential WR1.

Round one: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

The Patriots went with a new QB in round one, and they desperately need help at receiver to help Maye develop. Coleman is a big target at 6’4 and a nice pairing with a rookie signal-caller. This is quality value for New England after a trade back.

Round one: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State

The Saints get a crafty receiver to pair with Chris Olave. A burner who put up a 4.41 40-yard dash at the combine, Pearsall can be outstanding in the slot for the Saints at the Superdome. He could also be a factor in the return game.

Round one: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

The Colts would have loved to see Brock Bowers fall to them, but he got scooped up by the Jets. Instead they get TE2 in Sanders, who should be an immediate impact target for second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Round one: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

A national champion at Michigan, Sainristil is an incredible athlete with top-tier ball-hawking skills. He could excel as a slot corner.

Round one: Troy Fautanu, OL, Washington

The Jaguars got help in the first round on the offensive line with Fautanu. Now they add an edge presence to get to the quarterback.

Round one: Brian Thomas, Jr., WR, LSU

The Bengals added help for Joe Burrow with Thomas at wideout. Now, they get their quarterback more protection. Paul is a great pass protector with excellent size and could hopeful provide help on the run-blocking side of things too.

Round one: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson

The Eagles love to have offensive line toughness, and with the retirement of Jason Kelce, Philly could use more of it. As strong as they come and a fantastic interior pass protector, he could be perfect for the “Brotherly Shove” and help Jalen Hurts buy time to throw.

Round one: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon

After trading Diontae Johnson to Carolina, the Steelers stick with their M.O. of finding a replacement wide receiver in the draft. Wilson is a speedy receiver with great hands who can stretch the field.

Round one: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA

Tampa is a physical pass-breakup machine. The Rams add secondary help and pass rushing help after two straight years of losing stars, Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald.

Round one: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Round two: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State

Howie Roseman loves Georgia Bulldogs defenders and nabs one of the draft’s top safety prospects in Bullard.

Round one: No selection

Cleveland was without a first-round pick, but start their selection process off with a First-Team All-American and First-Team All-SEC linebacker.

Round one: Graham Barton, OL, Duke

The Dolphins lost Christian Wilkins to free agency, yet a mini-version falls to them at No. 55. Very similar in size and skill-set, Jenkins won a national championship with Michigan heading into the draft, five years after Wilkins won one with Clemson in 2019. Miami general manager Chris Grier loves drafting collegiate champions and has done so four straight years from 2019 to 2022 (Wilkins, Blake Ferguson, Jaylen Waddle, and Channing Tindall).

Round one: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma

Dallas loves to sit and wait for wide receivers to fall to them. Here they get another weapon for Dak Prescott.

Round one: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State

The Bucs double-dip on defense to start by adding high-motor and fast linebacker Payton Wilson. Impressive at the combine, Wilson could be the heart of any defense in the pros. With great size and athleticism, Wilson could be a steal here.

Round one: Byron Murphy II, DL, Texas
Round two: Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia

The Packers add secondary help in Melton with so many NFC North targets to defend. The Rutgers product could play on the boundary or slot with solid size and ball skills. His brother is currently a wide receiver for the Packers.

Round two: Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota

Sliding down the board not because of talent but some recent off-field trouble, Houston takes a chance on a stud in a steal.

Round one: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas

The Bills replaced Stefon Diggs with Mitchell in the first round. They stick with Longhorns here and get a running mate for James Cook. The duo should take the load off of Josh Allen in the red zone and Brooks offers a lot with both his rushing and receiving abilities.

Round one: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

The Lions added help on defense in round one and are looking for another player to join Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in the wide receiver room. Malachi Corley is physical with plenty of yards after the catch ability and can break tackles. He is a potentially explosive third option in Detroit.

Round one: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

The Ravens are excellent at drafting and even developmental prospects have a strong chance at panning out in Baltimore. Kneeland is a freak athlete with versatility and solid bull-rushing strength to get pressure on the quarterback.

Round one: Jordan Morgan, OL, Arizona

The Niners can use another weapon, as Brandon Aiyuk’s future with the team is uncertain. Polk could be a top 50 talent, and his ability was too much for the Niners to pass up at the tail-end of the second.

Round one: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

The Chiefs are loaded on offense and still building on defense. They add to their pass-rush with Washington’s Trice. With leadership and a good motor, Trice could rack up sack numbers with Chris Jones and George Karlaftis already on the line.
