Round one: No selection
Round two: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
Round two: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia

The Panthers add a linebacker from the 2023 NCAA champion Michigan Wolverines. Carolina is attempting to instill a winning culture, and gets three players from the last two schools to win the national title.

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

The Cardinals are doing fantastic with receiver help in Harrison and Worthy, and trench upgrades on both sides with Newton on defense and a new right guard in Haynes. Out of Connecticut, Haynes has talent beyond his draft position and could easily go Round 2.

Round one: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Round two: Darius Robinson Jr., EDGE, Missouri
Round two: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU

The Commanders have a changing of the guard at head coach, so what does Kiff Kingsbury do? He gets his brand new rookie quarterback a young wide-out to grow with.

Round one: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Round two: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State

Going with a solid quarterback-wide receiver combo in rounds one and two, the Patriots continue to build on offense by adding a protector in Amegadjie. The Yale tackle can be a franchise fixture on their offensive line with versatility to play guard and tackle.

Round one: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
Round two: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri

The Chargers lost two receivers and a running back this off-season. The draft is the best way to replenish. New coach John Harbaugh got an elite wideout in Nabers and now nabs a rusher to replace Austin Ekeler.

Round one: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Round two: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan

The Giants need a quarterback, but that scenario didn’t materialize in round one. They landed Rome Odunze, but now need to find a future signal caller with immediate potential. That could be South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler. Once a higher projected prospect, the Giants may have uncovered a hidden gem in Round 3.

Trade details:
Colts receive No. 71 (3rd) overall
Cardinals receive Nos. 82 (3rd), 117 (4th), and 234 (7th) overall

Round one: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
Round two: Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas

There were rumors that the Colts were in play at free agency to sign a big-name defensive tackle. They inked Raekwon Davis from the Dolphins to a deal but add more meat to the middle of the unit with LSU’s Smith. A big force at 6’5, he could play anywhere on the line’s interior. Smith and Davis on the same front could be fearsome.

Round one: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

After a home run in Round 1 with potential generational tight end in Brock Bowers, the Jets add more weaponry in UNC’s Walker. The former Tar Heels star is a tall, vertical receiver, and suddenly, the Jets have an arsenal of weapons.

Round one: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Round two: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky

The Detroit defense continues adding pieces to the defensive backfield. After McKinstry helps the corner position, the Lions get a top-five safety in the class in Bishop.

Round one: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
Round two: Troy Franklin, WR, Orgeon

The Falcons went defense with Verse in the first and add more on the side of the ball with Hicks in the third.

Round one: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Round one: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama

The Bears have limited picks in 2024, but are using a quality over quantity strategy here. A passer, an edge-rusher, and now an interior pass-rushing presence. The Bears add Hall, who is a tad undersized for the pros but makes up for it with speed and strength. A solid interior pass-rusher, Hall could fit well in the Windy City.

Round one: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

The Broncos started with a mock trade to get their new quarterback in McCarthy. They flip to defending the pass in the third round by adding Penn State pass rusher Adisa Isaac.

Round one: JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Round two: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington

The Raiders added Christian Wilkins on the line in free agency and get some depth from a similar well. Fellow Clemson alum, Orhorhoro can be a solid nose tackle or rotational piece in Vegas. The run-stuffer is a former basketball player, similar to Wilkins.

Round one: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Round two: Darius Robinson Jr., EDGE, Missouri
Round two: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Round three: Jermaine Burton, WR, Alabama

The Commanders are already on their fifth selection. After making a pick at every other spot that could be considered a premium position, why not add a cornerback to the mix?

Round one: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
Round two: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Round three: Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State

The Falcons would be smart to get pass protection help with Cousins joining the roster. They go to a normally reliable source of offensive line talent in Notre Dame. Fisher can man the right side for Atlanta as a tackle.

Round one: Brian Thomas, Jr., WR, LSU
Round two: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

The Bengals need offensive line help to keep Joe Burrow on the field. After adding Paul in the second and Puni in the third, Cincinnati is prioritizing the health of the franchise quarterback.

Round one: Taliese Fuaga, OT/G, Oregon State

The Seahawks are far removed from their Legion of Boom days. Bullock will add a ball-hawking safety or slot corner to the Seattle defense.

Round one: Marvin Harrison, Jr., WR, Ohio State
Round one: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois
Round two: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Round three: Christian Haynes, OG, Connecticut

The Cardinals continue their feast by adding Dorlus, who was a three-time All-Pac-12 selection at Oregon.

Round one: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA.
Round two: T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State

The Rams lost Hall of Fame talent on defense in consecutive years when they waved bye to Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donald, so it makes sense to stock up on that side of the ball. Trotter has an NFL pedigree and could be a steal at linebacker this late in the third round.

Trade details:
Bengals receive No. 84 (3rd) overall
Steelers receive Nos. 97 (3rd) and 115 (4th)

Round one: Brian Thomas, Jr., WR, LSU
Round two: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston
Round three: Dominick Puni, G, Kansas

No more Joe Mixon makes the Bengals needy at running back. Cincinnati swings a trade with a divisional rival to come up for Michigan’s uber productive touchdown scorer, Corum.

Round two: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M

The Browns stay in Ohio get a local tight end. The next best at the position after Bowers and Sanders, Stover can block and be a factor in the passing game with good hands even if there’s nothing sensational in terms of athleticism or size.

 Round one: Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
Round two: T’Vondre Sweat, DL, Texas

Van Pran-Granger is a pure center with leadership and championships on his resume. That’s the kind of pedigree the fast rising Texans need to keep the arrow pointing up.

Round one: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Round two: Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina

After losing Tony Pollard in free agency, the Cowboys need a new back. Wright could easily succeed right away, as the team is light at the position.

Round one: Byron Murphy II, DL, Texas
Round two: Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia
Round two: Max Melton, CB, Rutgers

The Packers need to beef up the offensive line, and Rosengarten is a tackle who can move. After getting power with Frazier at center, athleticism and a light-on-his-feet right tackle will benefit Jordan Love and the Packers’ offensive unit as a whole.

Round one: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Round two: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State

Versatility at either guard spot, Mahogany is a solid pass protector with pulling ability to assist in the running game in space.

Round one: Marvin Harrison, Jr., WR, Ohio State
Round one: Jer’Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois
Round two: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Round three: Christian Haynes, OG, Connecticut
Round three: Brandon Dorlus, EDGE, Oregon

The Cardinals are winning the draft so far and stocking up in all their areas of need. Braelon Allen brings a power running style for short-yardage situations on a team that needs depth and youth at running back. He can eventually be a three-down back with his size and strength.

Round one: Graham Barton, OL, Duke
Round two: Kris Jenkins, DL, Michigan

Benefiting in the third from the first-round trade back in this mock draft, the Dolphins find a third target for their offense. Mostly limited to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at wide receiver, the Dolphins also need to think about who may replace the first member of the duo. Hill may not have many seasons left in Miami (or football, in general), so looking to add from a deep draft class could be wise.

McMillan has versatility and the speed Mike McDaniel covets in Miami. He put in a 4.47 40-yard dash, and is familiar with catching passes from a left-handed quarterback.

Round one: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Round two: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State
Round three: Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College

The Bucs are stacking up solid picks and add a corner in Oregon’s Jackson. Very tall for a defensive back at 6’4, Jackson has skills to be great in man coverage. When targeted in 2023, Jackson was credited by PFF with keeping opposing quarterbacks to a passer rating of 41.6.

Round one: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Round two: Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE, Western Michigan

Kinchens has injury concerns but could prove to be one of the top safeties of the class. The Miami alum can work well in the Ravens secondary as both a safety or slot. Kinchens has good ball skills, tallying five interceptions last season. But he’s not the fastest defensive back or the best in coverage, which explains his dip into the late third.

Round one: Jordan Morgan, OL, Arizona
Round two: Ja’Lynn Polk, WR, Washington

The Niners added offensive help in the opening round at lineman and a new receiver to potentially replace Brandon Ayuik if rumors of a trade come to fruition. Now they can look to the other side of the ball and add a potential bookend with Nick Bosa. Elliss is from a football family with great football smarts, who uses explosiveness to combat being a bit undersized at 6’2.

Round one: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Round two: Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington

While the Chiefs are the back-to-back champs, Patrick Mahomes has been working with a sub-prime receiving corps. Baker gives the two-time MVP some help.

Round one: Troy Fautanu, OL, Washington
Round two: Chris Braswell, EDGE, Alabama

With all the offense materializing in the AFC South and young quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson Jr., the Jaguars need cornerbacks. Hart is a fine prospect, coachable, and has terrific athleticism. While he isn’t a ballhawk, Hart has stepped up against top-tier talent.

Round one: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon
Round two: Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan

Phillips has good versatility and is fast, with a 4.48 40-yard dash time. He doesn’t have ideal pro size, but can make up for it with his athleticism.

Round one: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon
Round two: Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan
Round three: Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky

It’s the Steelers on the clock again and they get pass-rushing depth in Booker. He has the type of nonstop motor the Steelers love and he could be a very solid rotational rusher for Pittsburgh.

Round one: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
Round two: T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State
Round three: Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., LB, Clemson

A former safety with the versatility to return to that position, Taylor-Demerson could factor in at slot corner as well. Great athleticism mixed with top-end speed with his 4.41 40-yard dash time.
