2024 NFL DRAFT: DAY 2 MOCK DRAFT

 

Round 2

33. BUFFALO BILLS
Adonai Mitchell-WR-Texas
6'2"/205/4.34
NFL Comp: Terry McLaurin/Mike Wallace  
55 receptions
846 total yards
11 TD
The Bills were able to trade out of the first round and still get the pass receiver they want. Big armed Josh Allen gets one the best deep threats in the draft.
Adonai “AD” Michell transferred from Georgia to Texas and produced at a high level. His is very fluid and can change direction like a much smaller receiver. He is a big play guy that has a knack for the endzone. If when used as more of a role player at Georgia, he still scored in all four College Football Playoff games he was in. He showcased his elite athletic ability at the combine posting the best broad jump at 136” and third fastest 40 time for receivers.

34. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Ladd McConkey-WR-Georgia  
6'0"/186/4.39
NFL Comparison: Don Beebe/Eric Metcalf
2022
58 receptions
896 total yards
9 TD
McConkey is a very polished receiver that also provides a ton of value in the return game. He would be used perfectly in the slot where his quickness would be best utilized. He is a very good blocker and physical player for such a smaller guy. He is an old school player so I had to have the old school player comparisons with Beebe and Metcalf.
McConkey will remind Patriot fans of Julian Edelman and Wes Welker. New quarterback Drake Maye needs young playmakers that he can grow with.

35. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Jackson Powers Johnson-C/G-Oregon
6’3”/328/78.5”/30 reps
NFL Comparison: Damien Woody/Tyler Biadasz
PFF Grade: 84.5
Powers-Johnson was the best center in the country winning the Rimington Award. He has an elite combination of power, toughness and intelligence. He is arguably the safest offensive line prospect in the class as he should be an instant above average starter from day one.
Arizona could use an upgrade at every interior spot. Both Will Hernandez and Hjalte Froholdt will be free agents after this year. JPJ is a very smart pick here. 

 36. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Cooper DeJean-DB-Iowa
6’1”/203/4.47
NFL Comp: Minkah Fitzpatrick/Antrel Rolle
PFF Grade: 77.4
DeJean has the size and elite athletic tools to line up anywhere in the secondary. He is the most versatile defensive back in the class and one of the best against the run. He would be used best as a slot/safety hybrid in the way that the Steelers use Minkah Fitzpatrick.
New Head Coach Dan Quinn can utilize DeJean’s versatility and athletic ability. Washington looks to add some defense after going offense in round one. 

 37. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
Jer’Zhan Newton-DL3T-Illinois
6’2”/304
NFL Comp: Grady Jarrett/Quinnen Williams   
PFF Grade: 84.9
7.5 sacks and 8.5 TFL
The Newton vs Murphy debate really comes down to how much a team value’s Murphy’s elite athletic tools vs Newton’s consistent production. He is an elite run stuffing 3 tech that is also a great pass rusher. Both Newton and Murphy are as close to “can’t miss” prospects as one will find.
Jim Harbaugh is tempted to take his own guy in Kris Jenkins but Newton is the better prospect. The Chargers need guys that can get after Patrick Mahomes. Newton would be the most talented lineman on the Chargers defense from day one.

38. TENNESSEE TITANS
Kool-Aid McKinstry-CB-Alabama -Alabama
6'0"/199
NFL Comp: AJ Terrell/Marcus Peters
PFF Grade: 88.8
Kool-Aid has by far and away the best nickname in the draft class. He formed the best corner duo in the nation along with Arnold. Kool-Aid was the top-rated corner in the high school class of 2021 and lived up to expectations playing as a true Freshman then starting the past two seasons. He has ideal length, size and ball skills to be a starting outside corner. His lack of elite athletic ability is why he not a top 10 pick.
The Titans took Kool Aid’s college teammate in JC Latham in the first round. Trevor Lawrence and CJ Stroud will be starting in the AFC South for the next decade. The Titans need multiple defensive backs in order to compete.

39. CAROLINA PANTHERS
Ennis Rakestraw-CB-Mizzou
5'11"/183/4.51
NFL Comp: Aaron Colvin/Janoris Jenkins
PFF Grade: 80.7
Rakestraw may be undersized, but he mirrors receivers as well as anyone in this draft class. He has very good length and is a willing tackler. He played mostly zone in college and would flourish in the Panthers zone heavy defense. 

40. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Troy Franklin-WR-Oregon 
6'2"/176/4.39
NFL Comp: Paul Richardson/Todd Pinkston
81 receptions
1383 total yards
14 TD
Franklin is the definition of a deep threat with his blazing speed and long strides. The questions are if he can be anything more than a dep threat given his lack of bulk. The track record of guys over six feet and under 180 pounds having long term NFL success is very short. Franklin could be the one to change this stat or he could be nothing more than a backup outside receiver.
Washington gives its new quarterback Jayden Daniels a big play deep threat. 

41. GREEN BAY PACKERS
Braden Fiske-DL5T/3T-FSU  
6’4”/292/4.78/26 Reps
NFL Comp: Justin Madubuike/Dean Lowry
PFF Grade: 73.9
6 sacks and 9 TFL
Fiske is disruptor that has the combination of power, size and athletic ability to play nearly anywhere on the interior of the line. Justin Madubuike is the blue print for how to use Fiske at the next level.
The Packers have arguably the best nose tackle in the league in Kenny Clark. Rashan Gary is a great end, but Devonte Wyatt looks like nothing more than a rotational player. Fiske would be a perfect fit and compares to Dean Lowry.

42. HOUSTON TEXANS
Edgerrin Cooper-ILB-TX A&M  
6’2”/230/4.51
NFL Comp: Darius Leonard/CJ Mosely
PFF Grade: 90.8
8 sacks, 17 TFL and 84 total tackles
The Texans take the local player from nearby College Station. Cooper is a fast and physical linebacker that is an ideal weakside (Will) linebacker. He changes direction like a running back and is great in pursuit. He graded well in coverage in college and has a chance to be special in the NFL. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans will see a lot of himself as a player in Cooper.

43. ATLANTA FALCONS
Adisa Isaac-EDGE-Penn St   
6'4"/247/4.74/123” Broad Jump
NFL Comparison: Carl Granderson/Jonathon Cooper
PFF Grade: 81.7
7.5 sacks and 16 TFL
Isaac was more productive than his teammate Chop Robinson at Penn St. He is an excellent athlete that is a very good run stopper. He brings value to a team that needs help stopping the run on the edge.
The Falcons have not had a player get double digit sacks in a season since Vic Beasley in 2016. Atlanta invested heavily in the offense in free agency. Expect them to invest a lot in the defense this draft.

44. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Marshawn Kneeland-EDGE-Western Michigan  
6'3"/267/21 reps
NFL Comparison: Frank Clark/Dorance Armstrong
PFF Grade: 88.1
4.5 sacks and 7.5 TFL
Kneeland knows how to use his strong frame to overpower linemen. He uses a bull rush to collapse the pocket. He showed his quickness and change of direction skills posting the fastest 3 cone drill at the combine at 7.02 seconds
The Raiders took superstar Maxx Crosby from Eastern Michigan in the fourth round of 2019. They go to the other side of Michigan and get the perfect guy to pair with Crosby. The Raiders will consider a quarterback here, but the better value is later in the draft.

45. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Chris Braswell-EDGE-Alabama
6’4”/251/4.6
NFL Comp: Darrell Taylor/Dante Fowler.
PFF Grade: 81.0
8 sacks and 10.5 TFL
Braswell is a very fast pass rusher that played in the shadow of Dallas Turner and Will Anderson. He should be able to carve a role like Taylor and Fowler. He is a hard projection because he has always played with such great players. He has good pass rush moves and can drop into coverage. In the first round he would be a risk, but he is a safe pick in the late second early third range.
Braswell continues the run-on edge rushers. The Saints signed Chase Young, but he is veyy injury prone and is one a short deal. They need a young edge rusher opposite Carl Granderson.

46. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Zach Frazier-C-West Virginia  
6'3"/313/78.5” Wingspan/30 reps
NFL Comp: Ted Karras/Stefen Wisniewski
PFF Grade: 76.5
Another offensive lineman to help a young quarterback. Frazier is a physical anchor that started four years at West Virginia. He has a good combination of size and technique. He is a center prospect that has enough bulk to play guard.
Ryan Kelly is going into the last year of his deal and may be looking to move on. Frazier could start at right guard this year and then move to center in year two.

47. NEW YORK GIANTS
Tyler Nubin-S-Minnesota
6'1"/199
NFL Comp: Antoine Winfield/Marcus Williams
PFF Grade: 89.2
Nubin is the top-rated true safety prospect by most draft pundits. The last time a versatile safety from the University of Minnesota was drafted in the second round he turned out pretty good. Nubin is much bigger than Winfield but shares the same versatile traits that make him arguably the top safety in the NFL today.
The Giants addressed the front in free agency, expect them to address the secondary early. Nubin's versatility will allow him to start at either safety spot.

48. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
TJ Tampa-CB-Iowa St  
6'1"/189
NFL Comp: Kyle Fuller/Jaylon Johnson
PFF Grade: 75.8
Tampa has an ideal combination of length, height and ball skills. He is physical and has shown versatility to play press man and zone.
Tampa is a Florida native that is actually from the Tampa Bay area. I have him going to the other part of the state where he could become the starting corner opposite Tyson Campbell.

49. CINCINNATI BENGALS
Kris Jenkins-DL3T-Michigan 
6’3”/299/29 reps
NFL Comparison: Harrison Phillips/Jordan Elliott
PFF Grade: 90.8
2.5 sacks and 4.5 TFL
Jenkins is the best run stuffing tackle in this class. He is powerful and quick and plays much bigger than his 299-pound frame. He can handle double teams and is quick enough to be a factor in the pass rush game as well.
The Bengals were 26^th against the run last year. Jenkins would help to stop the great rushing attacks of the AFC North teams.

50. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Malachi Corley-WR-Western Kentucky
5'11"/215
NFL Comparison: DJ Moore/Golden Tate
2022 Stats
101 receptions
1382 total yards
11 TD
Corley offers big play after the catch ability in a 215-pound frame. He is a former running back and one can see it in his play. He is a good route runner from the slot and has great balance. Guys like Moore and Tate had similar body types and running back backgrounds. They provide the blueprint on how to use Corley.
Corley would be a great number 3 with AJ Green and DeVonta Smith. He could help Jalen Hurts take the next step and become a league MVP. 

51. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Keon Coleman-WR-FSU 
6’3”/213/4.61
NFL Comp: Tee Higgins/Kenny Golladay
50 receptions
660 total yards
11 TD
Coleman is not a speed demon but he makes up for it with elite level body control for a player his size. The same speed concerns caused Higgins to be a second-round pick in 2020. Coleman has the same big play ability.
The Steelers only had 13 receiving touchdowns in 2023. They signed Russell Wilson to upgrade the deep passing game. Coleman would be a great fit here and the perfect number two to pair with George Pickens.

52. LOS ANGELES RAMS
Payton Wilson-LB-NC St 
6’4”/233/4.43
NFL Comp: Sean Lee/Fred Warner
PFF Grade: 89.9
6 sacks, 17.5 TFL and 138 total tackles
Wilson has the perfect combination of elite speed, height and strength. He is versatile as an open field tackler, pass rusher and in coverage. His athletic gifts and length are perfect to match up with modern day tight ends. The Packers need an upgrade at linebacker.
The Rams continue to upgrade the defensive front after drafting edge rusher Jared Verse on night one.

53. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Kingsley Suamataia-G/RT-BYU
6'5"/326/81.13”/31 Reps
NFL Comp: Brandon Shell/Chukwuma Okorafor
PFF Grade: 67.5
Suamatioa is a powerful and physical lineman. He is good run blocker that is improving in the pass game. He is a pretty good athlete for his size as evidenced by his 110” broad jump. The Browns need to find eventual successors for their aging interior linemen.
Suamataia could come in and compete for a starting guard spot and eventually take over at right tackle for Lane Johnson. His athletic traits make him the perfect developmental lineman for the Eagles. Jeff Stoutland is one of the best line coaches in the league and can get the most out of the young prospect that just recently turned 21.

54. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Christian Haynes-G-UConn   
6'3"/317/79.75”/25 Reps
NFL Comp: Nate Davis/Ronald Leary
PFF Grade: 80.2
Haynes is an athletic run blocker that is both experienced and durable as her started 49 straight games. He is solid in both the run and pass games.
The Browns need to find eventual successors for their aging interior linemen. Haynes is a physical player that fits what the Browns want to do in the run game.

55. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Roman Wilson-WR-Michigan
5'11"/185/4.39
NFL Comparison: Brandin Cooks/TY Hilton
48 receptions
799 total yards
12 TD
Wilson was the big play option in Michigan’s run heavy attack. His 12 of the 22 touchdown passes thrown by JJ McCarthy. His big play ability was on display in the College Football Playoff where he caught 7 passes at 18.15 yards per catch. He has the speed to play outside but may be best used in the slot given his lack of size. 
Head Coach Mike McDaniel is making sure the Dolphins don’t leave Friday night without another fast receiver. Owner Stephen Ross loves that Wilson is a Michigan Man.

56. DALLAS COWBOYS
Jonathon Brooks-RB-Texas
6'0"/216
NFL Comp: Melvin Gordon/Miles Sanders
1425 Total Yards
11 Touchdowns
25 receptions
Brooks waited patiently for two years behind two NFL running backs in superstar Bijan Robinson and power back Roschon Johnson. Brooks did not disappoint in his only season as the workforce back. Brooks’ quickness for his size is his greatest asset. He moves and cuts like a back weighing 200 pounds. He showed some skills as a receiver in space but he is not going to be a high factor in the pass game.
Brooks is the top rated running back in the class. Dallas needs a starter and the local in state product should be the best back on the roster the day he enters the building. 

57. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Ruke Orhorhoro-DE/DL5T3T-Clemson   
6’4”/294/29 reps/4.89
NFL Comp: Jonathan Bullard/Quinton Jefferson
PFF Grade: 73.5
5 sacks and 8 TFL
Orhorhoro has an incredible combination of power, length and quickness. He is an excellent athlete for an interior lineman. He is still very raw and has the tools to develop into a starter.
He would be the perfect 5 tech end to pair with nose tackle Vita Vea and last year’s first round pick, 3 tech Calijah Kancey.

58. GREEN BAY PACKERS
Mike Sainristil-Slot DB-Michigan
5'9"/182/4.47
NFL Comp: Mike Hilton/DJ Reed
PFF Grade: 81.4
Sainristil is a very physical slot defender that has incredible body control and quickness. He played receiver for three years at Michigan before switching to corner the past two seasons. His experience on offense shows with excellent ball skills. He should be able to carve out a role as a very good slot corner at the next level.
The Packers get the perfect slot corner to matchup with the highly paid Amon-Ra St Brown,

59. HOUSTON TEXANS
Javon Bullard-SS-Georgia
5'11"/198/4.47
NFL Comp: Darnell Savage/Donovan Wilson
PFF Grade: 82.8
Bullard was used as the big slot nickel in Georgia’s base defense. This is the ideal role for him in the NFL where he can use his combination of size, speed and tackling. He is another guy that DeMeco Ryans will love to coach.

60. BUFFALO BILLS
Blake Fisher-OT-Notre Dame 
6'6"/310/83.0”
NFL Comp: John Theus/Kenyatta Walker
PFF Grade: 90.7
Fisher formed the best tackle duo in the nation with Joe Alt. He has a nice combination of size, quickness and agility. He is scheme versatile and is very physical.
Left Tackle Dion Dawkins remains a franchise player protecting Josh Allen’s blindside. Right Tackle Spencer Brown is entering the last year of his deal and has been average at best.

61. DETROIT LIONS
Ja'Lynn Polk-WR-Washington    
6'1"/203/4.52
NFL Comparison:  Marvin Jones/Tyler Boyd
69 receptions
1191 total yards
9 TD
Polk is a versatile receiver that can play inside or outside. He has good everything (good hands, good routes, good size, good physicality) but nothing truly elite.  He is the token “just does his job” type of guy that would be an ideal number 2/3 receiver. Guys like Jones and Boyd have been able to stick in the league due to intangibles and so should Polk.
The Lions need an outside receiver that can help take the offense to another level. Polk has risen up draft boards and could get drafted much earlier than this.  

62. BALTIMORE RAVENS
Jonah Elliss-EDGE-Utah  
6’2”/248             
NFL Comparison: Dee Ford/Shaquil Barrett
PFF Grade: 84.7
12 sacks and 16 TFL
Like many of the other pass rush prospects, Ellis had a huge jump in production last year. He is undersized as an edge rusher but makes up for it with great quickness and technique. Elliss would fit best playing next to an established star pass rusher.
The Ravens have one of the best interior pass rushers in Justin Madubuike. Their best outside rusher is 33 year old Kyle Van Noy. Odafe Oweh has not been consistent in his three years in Baltimore.

63. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Roger Rosengarten-RT/G-Washington  
6'5"/308/80.38”/4.92 forty time
NFL Comp: Chris Chester/Ezra Cleveland
PFF Grade: 71.0
Rosengarten was the fastest lineman at the combine posting a 4.92 forty which is just INSANE to do at over 300 pounds. He is a right tackle that protected the blindside of lefty quarterback Michael Pennix Jr. He is raw and lacks length but could be a starter if he finds the right situation and coach that develops his raw athleticism.
Rosengarten went to the same high school as the McCaffery family, and he would be a good fit at right tackle for the 49ers. 

64. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Jaden Hicks-S-Washington St  
6'2"/211
NFL Comp: Thomas DeCoud/Kamren Curl
PFF Grade: 76.6
Hicks is a big safety that has versatility to play in the box, deep or in the slot. He is a good tackler and brings ideal height and length in the slot to cover tight ends.
Strong safety Justin Reid is entering the final year of his contract and Kansas City likely cannot afford to keep him. Hicks would be an ideal replacement.

Round 3

65. CAROLINA PANTHERS
Bralen Trice-DE/EDGE-Washington  
6'3"/245/22 reps
NFL Comparison: Uchenna Nwosu/Alex Highsmith
PFF Grade: 88.1
7 sacks and 11.5 TFL
Trice is a hard worker with a great motor. He was among the best in college football at generating pressure on the passer. Like Highsmith and Nwosu, he is a bit undersized but would make an ideal complement to a star. He could be a steal in the third round.
The Panthers finished last in sacks in 2023. Trice would have a chance to play right away. 

66. ARIZONA CARDINALS   
Max Melton-CB-Rutgers  
5'11"/187/4.39
NFL Comp: Denzel Ward/Robert Alford
PFF Grade: 82.8
Melton followed his older brother Bo Melton (current WR for the Packers) to Rutgers where he was an instant impact player. He brings elite athletic tools which translate on the field. His has the versatility and length to play outside or in the slot. 
Arizona has a good safety duo in Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson, but they need help at corner.

67. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Ja’Tavion Sanders-TE-Texas
6'4"/245/4.69
NFL Comparison: Jonnu Smith/Dallas Goedert 
45 receptions
694 total yards
2 TD
Sanders was the 3^rd option in the Longhorns passing game. Texas got a lot better the more they featured him. This included big games in the Big 12 Title and in the National Semifinals. He has great hands as he had zero drops in 2023. He is a vertical threat but also has enough size and power to play inside the trenches.
A tight end is a young quarterback’s best friend. Sanders has a chance to tools to be a very productive player. Zach Ertz would be the ideal mentor to Sanders.

68. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Kamari Lassiter-CB-Georgia
6’0”/186
NFL Comp: Josh Norman/Rock Ta Sin
PFF Grade: 85.4
Lassiter is a very physical corner despite his size. He is very similar to Kool Aid in that he was able to play right away on a very talented and complex defense. His football IQ and toughness should allow him to have a long NFL career. This is a Jerod Mayo type of football player.

69. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
Blake Corum-RB-Michigan
5'8"/205/4.53
NFL Comp: Devin Singletary/Shane Vereen
3 Year Average
1333 Total Yards
16.3 Touchdowns
17 receptions
Consistency is the key word when examining Corum’s production and value as a prospect. He is on the small side but is very compact and powerful. He proved his strength at the combine putting up 27 reps on the bench press. At Michigan he was not asked to be a pass catcher, but he has solid hands and could be valuable in the pass game at the next level. Jim Harbaugh gets his college back to help run his offense at the next level.

70. NEW YORK GIANTS
Spencer Rattler-QB-USC  
6’1”/211
NFL Comp: Jimmy Clausen/Sam Howell   
2023 Stats
3186 passing yards
19 passing touchdowns
8 Interceptions
68.9 completion percentage
147.7 QB Rating
Rattler is a former five-star recruit that became more consistent in his two years at South Carolina after a roller coaster three years at Oklahoma. He was is much better as a game manager than gunslinger. He has always had the arm tools. He will need to continue to improve the rest of his game if he is to have a chance as a starter in the NFL. In the third round Rattler is a good risk/reward pick for the Giants.

71. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Jaylen Wright-RB-Tennessee
5'11"/210/4.46
NFL Comp: Isiah Pacheco/Tony Pollard
1154 Total Yards
4 Touchdowns
22 receptions
Wright is a powerful back with great breakaway speed. His stock rose after a great performance at the combine showcasing his 4.46 speed and finishing with the top broad jump. Despite his low TD total in 2023 (he had 10 TDs in 2022) he is a big play waiting to happen. He had three 50 plus yard runs on the season. With six picks in the top 100, Arizona is able to get a young back to pair with James Connor. Wright, Trey Benson and Blake Corum could all get drafted in the third round. 

72. NEW YORK JETS  
Javon Baker-WR-UCF 
6’1”/202/4.54
NFL Comp: JuJu Smith-Schuster/Brandon Aiyuk
52 receptions
1139 total yards
7 TD
Baker was buried on the depth chart at Alabama for two years, he then transferred to Central Florida where he played right away. He broke out his senior season in 2023. He is a true X receiver that has great hands and knows how to make contested catchers. He is a physical player that is very competitive too. He uses his long wingspan 78.25” to play much larger than his height. This is why I compare him to JuJu and Aiyuk.

73. DALLAS COWBOYS
Junior Colson-LB-Michigan 
6’2”/238
NFL Comparison: Foyesade Oluokun/Bobby Okereke
PFF Grade: 81.7
Colson is rising up draft boards due to his raw athletic tools. He was a three-year starter for the National Champions. He is a very good run defender that has the tools to be good in coverage. He would fit best as a Mike backer but has the athletic traits to also play the Will spot. He can start at linebacker in Dallas.

74. ATLANTA FALCONS
Calen Bullock-S-USC  
6'2"/188/4.48
NFL Comp: Brandon Jones/Julian Love
PFF Grade: 71.5
Bullock uses his elite speed and quickness to make plays in the passing game. Due to his lack of weight and instincts he can be a liability in the run game. He could become a solid starting free safety like Jones and Love or he may be moved to corner. 

75. CHICAGO BEARS
Brandon Dorlus-LDE/DL5T-Oregon
6’3”/283/4.85
NFL Comp: Zach Allen/John-Franklin Myers
PFF Grade: 73.5
3 Year Average
3.3 sacks and 7.7 TFL
Dorlus showed his athletic prowess at the combine posting elite numbers in the 40, 3 cone and both jumps. His versatility is his best tool as he proved he can lineup at many spots along the defensive line. He would be used best as a 5 tech due to his length and speed combination. In Chicago he would be a great base end in their 4-3 defense.

76. DENVER BRONCOS
Andru Phillips-CB-Kentucky 
5'11"/190/4.48
NFL Comp: Darius Butler/Ronald Darby
PFF Grade: 71.7
Phillips’ saw his stock rise after the combine where he showed his elite athletic tools posting a 42” vertical and running a 4.48. He is a bit smaller but plays very physical and would fit best as a slot in a man scheme. The Broncos get the best player on the board and fill a need in the secondary.

77. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Khyree Jackson-CB-Oregon
6'4"/194/4.5
NFL Comp: Ahkello Witherspoon/Benjamin St-Juste
PFF Grade: 80.5
Jackson is a tall corner that has elite level length with a 78” wingspan. He has the traits to become a good press man corner.  He is an older prospect (will turn 25 in August) that played at JUCO and as a backup at Alabama. He finally settled into a starting role at Oregon where he showed the traits that will get him drafted in on day two. The Raiders likely go Spencer Rattler if he is still available here. Since he is not, I have them filling a need at corner.

78. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Patrick Paul-OT-Houston 
6'8"/331/86.25”/30 Reps  
NFL Comp: Demar Dotson/Matt Pryor
PFF Grade: 81.1
Paul is another very tall, long and athletic tackle in this class. He could develop into a very good pass protector if given time to develop. Washington must protect their new franchise quarterback.

79. ATLANTA FALCONS 
Maason Smith-DL3T5T-LSU   
6’5”/306/29 reps/84.68” Wingspan
NFL Comp: Adam Butler/Bilal Nichols
PFF Grade: 65.3
2.5 sacks and 4.5 TFL
Smith has incredible physical tools including a long wingspan and great quickness. Like Butler and Nichols he could develop into a very nice rotational player that can play multiple spots. Atlanta gets a replacement for franchise legend Grady Jarrett.

80. CINCINNATI BENGALS  
Devontez Walker -WR-UNC 
6'2"/193/4.36
NFL Comparison: Zay Jones/Jerome Simpson
41 receptions
722 total yards
7 TD
Walker transferred from Toledo, overcame early season injuries and then emerged as star quarterback Drake Maye’s top option. He flashed his big play ability with three 100-yard games in the season. He is fast and can jump out of the gym. He should be a solid outside receiver and high end number 3 option for the team that picks him. 

81. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Dadrion Taylor Demerson-S-Texas Tech
5'10"/197/4.41
NFL Comp: Budda Baker/Antoine Bethea
PFF Grade: 78.5
Taylor Demerson was the fastest safety at the combine and also showed his athletic prowess with a 38” vertical jump. He has risen up draft boards as teams like his leadership qualities and versatility to play in the box and deep.

82. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Ben Sinnott-TE- Kansas St
6’4”/250/4.68
NFL Comp: Mike Gesicki/Noah Fant
49 receptions
676 total yards
6 TD
Sinnott tested very well at the combine showcasing his speed, leaping ability and short area quickness. He is very versatile and has all the tools to be a solid starter like Gesicki and Fant. Once again, a tight end is young quarterback's best friend.

83. LOS ANGELES RAMS
Cooper Beebe-G-Kansas St   
6'3"/322/78.18”/20 Reps
NFL Comp: Will Hernandez/Joe Looney
PFF Grade: 83.9
Beebe is among the most experienced players in this draft class. He has short arms but knows how to use his leverage and has great technique. The Rams continue to rebuild the offensive line. 

84. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Michael Hall-DL3T-Ohio St    
6’3”/290
NFL Comp: DaVon Hamilton/Earl Mitchell
PFF Grade: 65.3
2022 Stats
4.5 sacks and 7.5 TFL
Hall has a nice combination of power and skill. He lacks size to play strictly as a 3 tech but that is where he is best at. Hall should develop into a nice rotational player.

85. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Trey Benson-RB-FSU 
6’0”/216/4.39
NFL Comp: Ryan Mathews/Lamar Miller
1133 Total Yards
15 Touchdowns
20 receptions
Benson has an ideal combination of speed, size and power. He is a straight downhill runner with speed and power between the tackles. He also can out run corners on the edge. Like most back in this class he needs a lot of work in the pass game. Nick Chubb is no longer a star and has battled injuries. Benson could thrive once he gets the workhorse back role.

86. HOUSTON TEXANS
Christian Mahogany-G/C-Boston College
6'3"/314/81.63”
NFL Comp: Chris Snee/Kevin Dotson
PFF Grade: 74.9
Mahogany is athletic and powerful guard. He bounced back from a torn ACL and was one of the best linemen in the ACC. He is a very physical run blocker that needs work in the pass game. Houston needs depth on the interior of the line.  

87. Dallas Cowboys  
Sedrick Van Pran-C-Georgia
6'4"/298/78.63”  
NFL Comp: Erik McCoy/Andre James
PFF Grade: 77.9
Van Pran was the anchor for the Georgia offense that was balanced in the run and pass games. Van Pran was a leader on a winning team and that should translate as a starting center in the NFL. This is a pure needs based pick for Dallas that has Brock Hoffman as its current starting center.

89. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.-LB-Clemson   
6’0”/228
NFL Comp: Denzel Perrymany/Zaire Franklin
PFF Grade: 85.7
5.5 sacks, 15 TFL and 88 total tackles
Trotter is a bit undersized as an Inside backer but has the perfect combination of speed, power and football IQ. He is an elite run defender, but lack of size and range hurts him in coverage. Tampa needs to get younger at linebacker.

90. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Jalen McMillan-WR-Washington    
6'1"/197/4.47
NFL Comparison:  Jakobi Meyers/Nelson Agholor
2022
79 receptions
1098 total yards
9 TD
McMillan was Washington’s top receiver in 2022 who took a backseat to Odunze and Polk last year. He was used best as a vertical threat out of the slot where he was able to exploit mismatches with linebackers and safeties. He runs great routes and knows how to use his size and speed. He has the tools to be a starter and solid third option The Cardinals double dip at receiver and get a perfect slot guy to help Marvin Harrison Jr.

91. GREEN BAY PACKERS
Jermaine Burton-WR-Alabama 
6’1”/196/4.45
NFL Comp: Amon-Ra St Brown/Christian Kirk/Randall Cobb
39 receptions
798 total yards
8 TD
Burton has a nice combination of quickness and physical play. He is an ideal slot target who compares well to St Brown and Kirk in playing style. He showed his elite athletic ability at the combine where he posted a 133” broad jump and 38.5” vertical jump.

92. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Kamren Kinchens-S-Miami
5'11"/203/4.65
NFL Comp: Jarius Byrd/Eddie Jackson
PFF Grade: 67.8
Kinchens relies on physical instincts, physical play and intelligence on the field. He is a ballhawk as a deep safety and a reliable run defender in the box. He would be rated as high as Nubin if he had better athletic numbers. Tampa will probably not be able to afford both of their starting safeties.

93. BALTIMORE RAVENS
MarShawn Lloyd-RB-USC 
5'9"/220/4.46
NFL Comp:  D’Andre Swift/Rashard Mendenhall
1052 Total Yards
9Touchdowns
13 receptions
Lloyd is built like a pin ball and runs with great leverage and power through the hole. He offers little in the passing game. He should be used in an early down role very similar to Swift and Mendenhall. The Ravens get a young back to help Derrick Henry. 

94. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Kris Abrams Draine-Slot DB-Mizzou
5'11"/179/4.44
NFL Comp: Jourdan Lewis/Taron Johnson 
PFF Grade: 80.7
Abrams Draine has shown his value in the slot where he knows how to use his speed and ball skills to cover slot receivers and running backs. Like Sainristril, he also played receiver in college before staying on defense permanently. He is the type of versatile defensive back the 49ers love.

95. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Theo Johnson-TE-Penn St
6’6”/259/4.57
NFL Comp: Jimmy Graham/Cole Kmet
34 receptions
341 total yards
7 TD
Johnson has nearly identical measurables to Graham and Kmet. He is a true inline tight end that proved his value as a blocker playing in the Big Ten. He is still developing as a pass catcher but it would not be surprising if he ended up a high-end starter given his size and athleticism. Travis Kelce is not going to play forever. The Chiefs need to find a replacement soon.

96. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Kiran Amegadjie-OT-Yale
6'5"/323/85.5”
NFL Comp: Billy Turner/Trey Pipkins
PFF Grade: 89.5
Amegadjie is a small school prospect that has exceptional physical tools including an elite wingspan. He is the a developmental prospect that a team will need to be patient with. In Jacksonville he can sit behind Cam Robinson and compete for the swing tackle spot. 

97. CINCINNATI BENGALS
Austin Booker-EDGE-Kansas   
6'5"/240
NFL Comparison: Arden Key/Leonard Floyd
PFF Grade: 82.2
8 sacks and 12 TFL
Booker is a very tall and lean edge rusher that knows how to use his length and athleticism. He possesses an 83.38” wingspan and knows how to use it to initiate first contact.

98. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Dominick Puni-G/C/T-Kansas
6'5"/313/81.18”
NFL Comp: Tytus Howard/James Hudson
PFF Grade: 80.6
Puni is a very physical and skilled run blocker that can be a liability in the pass game. He will likely play guard at the next level but has enough length to play right tackle. Puni was smart to take reps at center at the Senior Bowl. Ideally he is a swing tackle or starting guard. In Pittsburgh he could start at center

99. LOS ANGELES RAMS
Michal Pratt-QB-Tulane
6'2"/217
NFL Comp: Andy Dalton/Teddy Bridgewater
Stats: 2-year Average:
2707.5 passing yards
24.5 passing touchdowns
5 Interceptions
64.5 completion percentage
160.35 QB Rating
382 Rushing Yards
8 Rushing Touchdowns
Pratt is a Florida native that has been a starting quarterback since his Freshman year at Tulane. He is a very fundamental player with a solid size and a good arm. He is the ideal low-end starter, high-end backup type of quarterback. This is why I compare him to Dalton and Bridgewater. If Pratt played at bigger school he would likely be seen as an equal prospect to Nix. Pratt would be an ideal young quarterback to develop under Matthew Stafford.

100. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
James Williams-SS/LB-Miami
6'4"/231/4.65
NFL Comp: Kam Chancellor as a Safety/Divine Deablo as a Linebacker
PFF Grade: 67.8
Williams is a box safety/linebacker hybrid that knows how to use his huge frame to make big hits. The Raiders drafted Deablo as a safety in 2021 and turned him into a linebacker and Chancellor was the first hybrid box safety to be a Pro Bowl level player. Williams is a unique prospect that could turn out to be a steal if used correctly. I would love to see him play for Dan Quinn in Washington.
