2024 NFL Draft

You build a draft on nights like this. Cole Bishop had no business being available in slot 203, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Reaching for McGlothern left real value on the table behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
Marvin Harrison Jr. in slot 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Taliese Fuaga in the 41st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Drake Maye in No. 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They barely believed it either: Edgerrin Cooper still on the board at Round 3, Pick 25. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A slide stopped in pick No. 91, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They let Sedrick Van Pran come to them and pounced at the 99th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They robbed the room for Kiran Amegadjie here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A premium they did not need to pay, Kamal Hadden a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
James Williams in the 135th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 28 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
A real head-scratcher, Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
McKade Mettauer at pick 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
