Cincinnati opts to protect the franchise after Joe Burrow played just 10 games last season due to injury
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 16 — Byron Murphy II
Draft Grade: A
Pre-Draft Rank: 19
School: Texas
Height: 6′ 1″
Weight: 297
The Seahawks got one of the few truly disruptive interior defenders in the draft with Murphy — something they really needed. Murphy has the talent to become a star in Mike Macdonald’s defense and gives the Seahawks a credible option up front in case Dre’Mont Jones struggles again in his second year with the team.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 15 — Laiatu Latu
Draft Grade: B
Pre-Draft Rank: 23
School: UCLA
Height: 6′ 5″
Weight: 259
This is a good landing spot for Latu. He’s had some injury concerns in the past, but Latu is a productive, versatile edge rusher that profiles as a high-floor player. He might not be Von Miller or prime Khalil Mack, but he’s a talented player in his own right that should be an 8-10 sack guy in the NFL.
Seattle looks to sure up their defensive line with the second defensive lineman off the board in Round 1
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 14 — Taliese Fuaga
Draft Grade: B
Pre-Draft Rank: 18
School: Oregon St.
Height: 6′ 6″
Weight: 324
The Saints needed an offensive lineman with the struggles of Trevor Penning and Ryan Ramczyk’s injury situation. Fuaga can play tackle or guard and will be a big boost for the Saints in the ground game. This is a strong pick that gives the Saints some much needed flexibility and depth up front.
Defense finally matters! The Indianapolis Colts, who are ready to get franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson back in the fold, make the first defensive selection of the 2024 NFL Draft.
For the first time since 1999, Bill Belichick isn’t pulling the levers in the New England Patriots’ war room on draft day, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t weighing in on the Pats picks. The six-time Pats’ Super Bowl winning head coach was lukewarm on New England’s first round selection of North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick in the first round.
The NFL Draft is not just an annual showcase of the top college football talent making the jump to the NFL, but its also a look at the fashion trends that the young players turning pro are bringing to the league. So who stole the show and achieved “Drip God” status in Detroit? Yahoo Sports takes a look at the best dressed players at the NFL Draft in 2024.
The first round run on offensive players reaches 14, as New Orleans retools their offensive line
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 13 — Brock Bowers
Draft Grade: B-
Pre-Draft Rank: 4
School: Georgia
Height: 6′ 3″
Weight: 243
This is a bit of a surprise at this point because the Raiders just drafted Michael Mayer last year, but it’s hard to get too mad at adding a talent like Brock damn Bowers. The Raiders’ two-tight end personnel sets are going to be a beast and they’ll be in good position to make life easier for whoever is playing quarterback for them this year.
After years of dealing with Travis Kelce, the Raiders have made a TE move for the future in the AFC West
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 12 — Bo Nix
Draft Grade: F
Pre-Draft Rank: 64
School: Oregon
Height: 6′ 2″
Weight: 217
Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 11 — Olu Fashanu
Draft Grade: A-
Pre-Draft Rank: 6
School: Penn St.
Height: 6′ 6″
Weight: 312
Fashanu is an extremely talented, high-upside prospect that gets to come into a situation where he gets to work with Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses. When healthy, Fashanu is clearly one of the most talented players in the draft and has a chance to be a fixture on the offensive line in New York for years to come.
Bo Nix is the sixth quarterback taken in the first round at 12th overall, tying the record of most quarterbacks picked in Round 1 (1983).

The old adage says “Defense Wins Championships,” but you wouldn’t know it from the top of the first round in this year’s NFL draft, which has only featured stars from the other side of the ball.
The Jets add to Aaron Rodgers’ protection with the third OL taken in the 2024 NFL Draft
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 10 — J.J. McCarthy
Draft Grade: B+
Pre-Draft Rank: 29
School: Michigan
Height: 6′ 3″
Weight: 202
Getting the quarterback without having to move up too far in the draft is a solid result for the Vikings. It may not be the quarterback they originally wanted, but it’s still a solid prospect to build around and he’s walking into a great situation.
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 9 — Rome Odunze
Draft Grade: A+
Pre-Draft Rank: 5
School: Washington
Height: 6′ 3″
Weight: 212
The Bears couldn’t have dreamed of a better first round. Caleb Williams. Rome Odunze. Now they have a three-headed monster at wide receiver with the long-term potential of Williams, Odunze and DJ Moore.
