Round 2 - Pick 33
Georgia
• 6'0"
/ 185 lbs
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.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 34
Texas
• 6'2"
/ 205 lbs
After snagging Drake Maye in Round 1, the Patriots get a large, gifted route-runner in AD Mitchell.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 35
Chris Braswell
EDGE
Alabama
• 6'3"
/ 255 lbs
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
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.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 37
Keon Coleman
WR
Florida State
• 6'4"
/ 215 lbs
Keon Coleman is a young wideout who plays a tick faster than his timed speed and flashes acrobatic catch skill.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 38
Western Michigan
• 6'3"
/ 268 lbs
Marshawn Kneeland is a work in progress but possesses elite physical tools at the edge-rusher spot. The Titans need more threatening outside rushers.
| |||||||
From
New York Giants
Round 2 - Pick 39
Oregon
• 6'3"
/ 328 lbs
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.
| |||||||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 2 - Pick 40
Max Melton
CB
Rutgers
• 5'11"
/ 193 lbs
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.
| |||||||
From
New York Jets
Round 2 - Pick 41
NC State
• 6'4"
/ 242 lbs
Payton WIlson is a plug-and-play inside linebacker. If he stays healthy, he could become one of the best overall defenders from this class.
| |||||||
From
Minnesota Vikings
Round 2 - Pick 42
Texas A&M
• 6'2"
/ 229 lbs
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
Adisa Isaac
EDGE
Penn State
• 6'4"
/ 254 lbs
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
After surprisingly going Brock Bowers in Round 1, the Raiders address a more immediate need in Round 2 with the versatile Kiran Amegadjie.
| |||||||
From
Denver Broncos
Round 2 - Pick 45
Ja'Lynn Polk
WR
Washington
• 6'1"
/ 203 lbs
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
T.J. Tampa
CB
Iowa State
• 6'1"
/ 199 lbs
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.
| |||||||
From
Seattle Seahawks
Round 2 - Pick 47
Christian Haynes
IOL
Connecticut
• 6'3"
/ 318 lbs
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
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
Many had Johnny Newton to the Bengals in Round 1. Given how good Newton is attacking up the field, this is tremendous value.
| |||||||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 2 - Pick 50
Roman Wilson
WR
Michigan
• 5'10"
/ 186 lbs
Even after the A.J. Brown extension, the Eagles continue to keep the shelves stocked for Jalen Hurts.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 51
Alabama
• 5'11"
/ 199 lbs
The Steelers are happy to stop McKinstry's fall here. He and Joey Porter Jr. would formulate an awesome boundary corner tandem in Pittsburgh.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 52
Ben Sinnott
TE
Kansas State
• 6'4"
/ 247 lbs
Sinnott's an athletic specimen with serious receiving chops to give Matthew Stafford another weapon over the middle.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 53
Iowa
• 6'0"
/ 198 lbs
Quality players seem to fall into Roseman's lap, and it happens again with DeJean who can play any secondary position.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 54
Patrick Paul
OT
Houston
• 6'7"
/ 332 lbs
The Browns continue to invest in their offensive line with Paul, who's around the same size as last year's rookie Dawand Jones at tackle.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 55
Texas
• 6'4"
/ 252 lbs
The Dolphins had a sleek, pass-catching tight end to the loaded skill-position grouping already residing in Miami.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 56
Zach Frazier
IOL
West Virginia
• 6'3"
/ 310 lbs
More offensive line reinforcement for the Cowboys with the stellar battling center from West Virginia.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 57
Western Kentucky
• 5'11"
/ 215 lbs
The Buccaneers get a wideout with a running back mentality with the ball in his hands in Corley.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 58
Texas
• 6'0"
/ 207 lbs
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
Mason McCormick
IOL
S. Dakota St.
• 6'5"
/ 315 lbs
As a sixth-year player at South Dakota State, McCormick enters the NFL with a high floor, and he can be the eventual Shaq Mason replacement at guard.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 60
Braden Fiske
DL
Florida State
• 6'5"
/ 291 lbs
Fiske is an older prospect with short arms. Everything else about his game indicates he's going to be a star in the NFL.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 61
Washington State
• 6'1"
/ 215 lbs
Hicks is a large enforcer at safety with plus coverage skills. Awesome find here late in Round 2 for Detroit.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 62
Washington
• 6'5"
/ 316 lbs
The Ravens add to the offensive line with a versatile plus athlete who can play tackle or guard.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 63
Texas
• 6'5"
/ 305 lbs
The 49ers need depth on the offensive line and Jones has plenty of upside because of his reasonable movement skills and crazy-long reach.
| |||||||
Round 2 - Pick 64
Delmar Glaze
OT
Maryland
• 6'4"
/ 323 lbs
The Chiefs address the offensive tackle spot with a fluid, lengthy prospect with plus pass-protection skills.
