After two trade backs to get totally out of Round 1... the Bills go with a player mocked to them frequently at No. 28. Instant, versatile boost to the offense with Ladd McConkey.

After snagging Drake Maye in Round 1, the Patriots get a large, gifted route-runner in AD Mitchell.
Round 2 - Pick 35
Alabama • 6'3" / 255 lbs
Projected Team
Arizona
PROSPECT RNK
45th
POSITION RNK
7th
The Cardinals need more rushing capabilities on their defense, and Chris Braswell is a long, powerful rusher who kind of feels like he's in his own second tier at the edge-rusher spot in this class.
Round 2 - Pick 36
BYU • 6'4" / 326 lbs
Projected Team
Washington
PROSPECT RNK
40th
POSITION RNK

The receivers will come for Jayden Daniels, but with two off the board in the first few selections, the Commanders go with a high-upside blocker in Kingsley Suamataia to eventually protect the edge.

Projected Team
Tennessee
PROSPECT RNK
65th
POSITION RNK
6th
Marshawn Kneeland is a work in progress but possesses elite physical tools at the edge-rusher spot. The Titans need more threatening outside rushers.
Round 2 - Pick 39
Oregon • 6'3" / 328 lbs
Projected Team
Carolina
PROSPECT RNK
34th
POSITION RNK
2nd
JPJ can start at guard and eventually kick inside to center in Carolina. While the Panthers did make a concerted effort to shore up the blocking unit in front of Bryce Young this offseason, it's never a bad idea to add more offensive line reinforcements for a young quarterback.
Round 2 - Pick 40
Rutgers • 5'11" / 193 lbs
Projected Team
Washington
PROSPECT RNK
78th
POSITION RNK
13th
Max Melton has been a fast riser during the pre-draft process because of how awesomely he tested, and the Commanders do have some needs in the secondary.

NC State • 6'4" / 242 lbs
Projected Team
Green Bay
PROSPECT RNK
62nd
POSITION RNK
2nd

Round 2 - Pick 42
Texas A&M • 6'2" / 229 lbs
Projected Team
Houston
PROSPECT RNK
47th
POSITION RNK
1st
Mini off-ball linebacker run here in Round 2, as DeMeco Ryans gets a young and athletic second-level defender in Edgerrin Cooper to fill the void left by Blake Cashman leaving in free agency.
Round 2- Pick 43
Penn State • 6'4" / 254 lbs
Projected Team
Atlanta
PROSPECT RNK
73rd
POSITION RNK
8th
Chop Robinson's edge-rusher mate at Penn State is, unsurprisingly, a freaky specimen around the corner, too. This fills a need.
Round 2 - Pick 44
Yale • 6'5" / 326 lbs
Projected Team
Las Vegas
PROSPECT RNK
116th
POSITION RNK

After surprisingly going Brock Bowers in Round 1, the Raiders address a more immediate need in Round 2 with the versatile Kiran Amegadjie.

The Saints have to give Derek Carr more weapons, and Ja'Lynn Polk is a do-everything type out wide. Align him anywhere, too.
Round 2 - Pick 46
Iowa State • 6'1" / 199 lbs
Projected Team
Indianapolis
PROSPECT RNK
61st
POSITION RNK
10th
The Colts have to bring in more cornerback talent to the secondary room, and T.J. Tampa fits the profile of the longer cornerbacks Chris Ballard normally likes. Great tackler, too.
Round 2 - Pick 47
Connecticut • 6'3" / 318 lbs
Projected Team
N.Y. Giants
PROSPECT RNK
50th
POSITION RNK
4th
Nore blocking reinforcement is needed for Daniel Jones, and Christian Haynes is probably the best pure guard in the class.
Round 2 - Pick 48
Minnesota • 6'2" / 210 lbs
Projected Team
Jacksonville
PROSPECT RNK
49th
POSITION RNK
1st
The Jaguars make Tyler Nubin the first traditional safety off the board. He was a ball magnet at Minnesota and can step into a prominent role relatively early in his NFL career.
Round 2 - Pick 49
Illinois • 6'2" / 295 lbs
Projected Team
Cincinnati
PROSPECT RNK
26th
POSITION RNK
2nd
Many had Johnny Newton to the Bengals in Round 1. Given how good Newton is attacking up the field, this is tremendous value.

Philadelphia
PROSPECT RNK
98th
POSITION RNK

POSITION RNK

Cleveland
PROSPECT RNK
85th
POSITION RNK
13th

Texas • 6'4" / 252 lbs
Projected Team
Miami
PROSPECT RNK
84th
POSITION RNK

72nd
POSITION RNK
2nd
Even with Josh Jacobs in the mix, the Packers reinvest in the running back position with one of the most talented rushers in the class, who probably would've been picked earlier than this had he not torn his ACL in 2023.
Round 2 - Pick 59
S. Dakota St. • 6'5" / 315 lbs
Projected Team
Houston
PROSPECT RNK
84th
POSITION RNK

Buffalo
PROSPECT RNK
33rd
POSITION RNK

Detroit
PROSPECT RNK
56th
