That makes for some intriguing and surprising selections after a predictable No. 1 overall pick.From the top, with the Bears set to land USC's Caleb Williams as their new franchise QB, through No. 100 overall,this is your hub for in-depth live reactions for the first through third rounds, gradingevery team and player fit:JUMP TO GRADES: | | NFL Draft grades 2024: Expert analysis for Rounds 1-3Round 11. Chicago Bears (from Panthers): Caleb Williams, QB, USCGrade: A+The Bears take a swing for the quarterback ceiling with Williams cannon of an arm and elite playmaking. He compares to Patrick Mahomes with his competitive, often succe sful improv and can push toward that level with the right coaching and offensive support. Chicago has a promising infrastructure in place to believe Williams will end their search for a long-term franchise pa ser.MORE CALEB WILLIAMS NEWS:2. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSUGrade: AThe Commanders over Drake Maye given Daniels can with his running ability and big-play pa sing. That lines up well with new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who made the most out of Kyler Murray in Arizona early. Daniels has a high athletic ceiling as a fellow Heisman winner to Williams.3. New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North CarolinaGrade: BMaye was the No. 2 QB prospect for a long time before Daniels meteoric rise during his final season. Hes got the prototypical size (6-4, 223 pounds) and good enough athleticism to go with a strong arm, but than either Williams or Daniels. He also needs to work on decision making, staying patient and handling pre sure, now on a team that doesnt have the same kind of support Chicago and Washington offer their rookies.4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio StateGrade: A+The Cardinals smartly go for Plan A to fill their biggest need with the best non-quarterback in the draft. Harrison proved he is a generational talent, bigger, stronger and faster than his . He will be a dominant go-to guy for Murray with hands, routes, big-play ability and red-zone flair.MORE:5. Los Angeles Chargers: Joe Alt, OT, Notre DameGrade: AThe Chargers went with Alt over a top wide receiver (Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze), but thats not a huge surprise given this is Jim Harbaugh. The team now has elite athletic blocking rock Big Ten bookends in Alt and Rashawn Slater to keep Justin Herbert well protected and also further boost the perimeter running game. Alt is a cant-mi s, safe option and the Chargers can just tap into a deep wideout cla s in later rounds.6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSUGrade: AThe Giants go back to the first-round wide receiver well 10 years after taking Odell Beckham Jr. out of LSU with another special big-time explosive playmaker. of a true No. 1 they have been mi sing for Daniel Jones. Nabers is versatile to deliver outside or in the slot, stretching the field or running well after the catch and be the new Stefon Diggs for offensive-minded coach Brian Daboll.7. Tenne see Titans: J.C. Latham, OT, AlabamaGrade: B-The Titans did need an offensive tackle badly to put in front of Will Levis blind side on the left side, but it was curious how they reached for positional need once the Chargers took Alta and didnt want to bring in Odunze instead to help Levis. Latham can be a strong pa s protector for them, but they might have been able to find a starting-caliber tackle on Day 2.8. Atlanta Falcons: Michael Penix Jr., QB, WashingtonGrade: BThe Falcons pull off the first real shocker in the first round by taking the strong-armed Penix, a perfect fit for Zac Robinsons downfield pa sing offense, despite making a blockbuster trade for veteran starter Kirk Cousins earlier in the offseason. Cousins will turn 36 in August and is coming off a torn Achilles in Minnesota. Penix works as a contingency and potential succe sor soon, but the Falcons get dinged for not getting some key defensive help (Dallas Turner) for Raheem Morris.MORE: 9. Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze, WR, WashingtonGrade: A+The Bears should be pinching themselves with their new-look pa sing offense. D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen now get a complementary outside No. 2 with elite size and clutch-play ability . New coordinator Shane Waldron now has the dangerous downfield pa sing attack he had in Seattle and Williams is set up for smashing rookie succe s with his inherited weapons.10. Minnesota Vikings (from Jets): J.J. McCarthy, QB, MichiganGrade: AThe Vikings increased the and needed to only move up one spot to secure their consistent QB of choice. After the Penix twist to the Falcons, McCarthy goes to another Rams offshoot offense where he can thrive with his arm, toughne s and intangibles under Kevin OConnell. Like Williams, Daniels and Penix, he goes to a team loaded with key weapons, including Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson. He has the best chance to steal OROY from Williams.MORE: 11. New York Jets (from Vikings):Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn StateGrade: AThe Jets had options here, including catching a falling big three wide receiver or taking top tight end Brock Bowers. But this selection might be the safest and smartest, given they are relying on two 33-year-old new tackles, Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses, in front of Aaron Rodgers. Fashanu is a well-rounded blocker with a good blend of power and athleticism to hold down either side for a while.12. Denver Broncos: Bo Nix, QB, OregonGrade: B-The Broncos went for the combination of reliable arm strength and accuracy in Nix, despite him not having close to the ceiling of Williams, Daniels, Maye, Penix or McCarthy. They needed a starter badly for Sean Payton and there are some . They might have forced it with Penix and McCarthy gone, but Nix could end up a solid pick if they put in a lot of work to improve around him, too.13. Las Vegas Raiders: Brock Bowers, TE, GeorgiaGrade: C-Theres nothing wrong with Bowers being taken in the top 15, given he has that kind of . But they did already have Michael Mayer and added underrated former Brown Harrison Bryant in the offseason. The Raiders went for a luxury pick despite having needs on the offensive line and secondary. Tom Telesco went for the best player available, but the QB void and defensive i sues make Bowers le s of a valuable pick to this particular team.14. New Orleans Saints:Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon StateGrade: AThere wasnt much separating Fashanu and Fuaga as the best overall blocking tackles in this cla s after Alt. The Saints had a huge need here given Ryan Ramczyk is a real injury concern and Trevor Penning has been ineffective playing anywhere. His power and sneaky athleticism is great for the new system under Klint Kubiak.15. Indianapolis Colts:Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLAGrade: ALatu is an explosive, versatile pa s rusher coming off a huge season of production in Westwood. The Colts were looking for an impact defender and had to jump on a dropping elite sack artist vs. a top cornerback. GM Chris Ballard adds a promising complement to DeForest Buckner.16. Seattle Seahawks:Byron Murphy II, DT, TexasGrade: B+The Seahawks could have thought about cornerback, offensive line or edge rusher, too, but they went with Murphy to bookend re-signed Leonard Williams on their new 3-4 front for new defensive-minded coach Mike Macdonald. Macdonald is hoping that Murphy will turn into his new version of the Ravens Justin Madubuike in terms of explosive pa s-rushing and blowing up run plays in the backfield with a compact frame.17. Minnesota Vikings (from Jaguars): Dallas Turner, EDGE, AlabamaGrade: A+Turner slides into a great landing spot as the best all-around edge defender in this cla s, with Latu being the best pure pa s rusher. Turner will thrive for Brian Flores as hes schemed around to make a lot of the same big plays he made in Tuscaloosa. Turner with free-agent additions Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel makes for a devastating new pre sure group. The Vikings will put Turner in places to produce right away as a situational rookie.MORE: 18. Cincinnati Bengals:Amarius Mims, OT, GeorgiaGrade: AThe Bengals made a smart, smooth, agile pa s-protection upgrade pick for Joe Burrow after the blocking didnt pan out with Jonah Williams on the left side. The team took a shot on Trent Brown this offseason to put opposite Orlando Brown Jr., but both are question marks as the latter struggled big-time last season, giving up seven sacks.19. Los Angeles Rams:Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida StateGrade: AThe Rams needed to find a way to upgrade their pa s rush in the wake of Aaron Donalds retirement and with Murphy off the board, they had to go outside linebacker for Chris Shulas defense, getting a nice complement to their second-year rising star, Byron Young. Verse should remain productive right away in their scheme.MORE: 20. Pittsburgh Steelers:Troy Fautanu, OT, WashingtonGrade: AThe Steelers were locked into getting offensive line help, with center and guard also being on the radar. Although Fautanu has devastating physicality, he showed teams he could start outside as an agile and quick blocker, too. He projects to start on the right side with 2023 first-rounder Broderick Jones flipping to left tackle to upgrade from Dan Moore Jr.21. Miami Dolphins:Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn StateGrade: AThe Dolphins have some major depth concerns on their pa s rush minus Van Ginkel and both Jaelan Phllips and Bradley Chubb being on the mend. New defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver needed to replenish the pre sure package and he will love Robinsons combination of explosivene s and energy to be a strong situational option if not a needed starter right away.22. Philadelphia Eagles:Quinyon Mitchell, CB, ToledoGrade: AThe Eagles made it no Justin Jackson Jersey secret they coveted Mitchell as the top pick for Howie Roseman as the near future needed to be addre sed at corner behind Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Mitchell separated from other corners because of his pure speed to stay with faster receivers downfield along with using all of his frame to win in coverage. Theyre hoping he can be .23. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Browns through Texans, Vikings): Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSUGrade: AThomas is a big, strong, physical receiver who uses his body and speed well to stretch the field, work downfield after the catch and provide a big red zone target. Thomas gives them a replacement on the perimeter for Calvin Ridley, joining Gabe Davis as a vertical threat to complement slot Christian Kirk and tight end Evan Engram. This is a great pre-lucrative contract extension gift for big-armed franchise QB Trevor Lawrence.24. Detroit Lions (from Cowboys):Terrion Arnold, CB, AlabamaGrade: AThe Lions tried to upgrade their cornerback situation last offseason and their veteran moves, including Cameron Sutton, didnt work out. They are doing it better, adding the ballhawking of Arnold to complement former Buccaneer Carlton Davis. Detroit found its priority mi sing defensive mi sing piece with an immediate-impact playmaker for Aaron Glenn.25. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Morgan, OT, ArizonaGrade: B-The Packers had a need at offensive tackle after moving on from David Bakhtiari. They might have reached a little for the more developmental Morgan, but theres not doubt he has the athleticism and agile blocking style to become a key pa s protector for Jordan Love in time.26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers:Graham Barton, C/G/OT DukeGrade: AThe Buccaneers needed to addre s the offensive line at some point with concerns at both left guard adjacent to and right tackle opposite Tristan Wirfs. Barton is an ideal option for either position because hes a natural fluid run blocker inside who has the athleticism to be developed into a starter outside.27. Arizona Cardinals (from Texans):Darius Robinson, EDGE, Mi souriGrade: AThe Cardinals get the ideal pa s-rushing prospect for defensive-minded Jonathan Gannon. Robinson has a good blend of explosivene s to get to quarterbacks along with strength to hold up well vs. the run. He has some freakish upside to have double-digit sacks at some point.28. Kansas City Chiefs (from Bills): Xavier Worthy, WR, TexasGrade: BThe Chiefs already went for a veteran speedster by signing Marquise Hollywood Brown late in free agency to help better track Patrick Mahomes deep balls and they got aggre sive to land Worthy, . Although it seems a little desperate to try to restore the big-play ability they had with Tyreek Hill, Mahomes and Andy Reid should be thrilled by upgrading their downfield weapons outside.29. Dallas Cowboys (from Lions):Tyler Guyton, OT, OklahomaGrade: BThe Cowboys might have been thinking about Barton and Fautanu with the inside more in mind, but in the end, going with Guyton in the wake of parting ways with long-time star left tackle Tyron Smith was a shrewd move after trading down. Guyton proved that beyond his big, mauling frame, he has the footwork and agility to handle protecting outside.30. Baltimore Ravens: Nate Wiggins, CB, ClemsonGrade: AThe Ravens are ready to push forward at corner, where they needed some depth behind Marlon Humphrey and a potential upgrade from Brandon Stephens outside They had to grab a falling Wiggins for his size, speedy, and savvy playmaking.31. San Francisco 49ers: Ricky Pearsall, WR, FloridaGrade: DThe 49ers make a head-scratching reach for a wide receiver even while not trading Brandon Aiyuk on the first night of the draft. That said, Pearsall is a solid natural route-runner with some downfield big-play flair, much like Aiyuk. That also said, there were many better receivers with higher floors and ceilings still left on the board vs. a late second-round caliber player.32. Carolina Panthers (from Chiefs through Bills):Xavier Legette, WR, South CarolinaGrade: CThe Panthers also reached for a wideout in a trade up, albeit much le s than the 49ers did. Legette profiles as the tantalizing outside deep threat they need for Bryce Young, but before he can really produce opposite Diontae Johnson, Legette must show more consistency with his hands and routes to stay on the field.MORE NFL DRAFT: | Round 233. Buffalo Bills (from Panthers): Keon Coleman, WR, Florida StateGrade: BColeman is a big, strong and physical receiver with sound technique still developing his field-stretching and big-play ability. He fits the Bills as an outside No. 1 for Josh Allen after the team traded Stefon Diggs.34. Los Angeles Chargers (from Patriots): Ladd McConkey, WR, GeorgiaGrade: AThe Chargers also addre s a big need for a receiver after moving on from Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. They trade up for a Jim Harbaugh-type receiver, an accomplished route-runner and blocker who can deliver all over the field, much like Allen. McConkey becomes a new solid go-to guy for Justin Herbert.35. Atlanta Falcons (from Cardinals):Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, ClemsonGrade: BThe Falcons turn their attention to beefing up defensive-minded Raheem Morris front with a quick, often explosive disruptor who flashes a lot of big plays. He fills a need, but it was surprising they didnt go elsewhere at the position. Atlanta taps into some of its history, given anchor Grady Jarrett is a Clemson product.36. Washington Commanders:Johnny Newton, DT, IllinoisGrade: AThe Commanders also tap into more inside explosivene s for their new scheme under defensive-minded Dan Quinn, getting a key rotational tackle at first behind Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne in a good move for the best player available.37. New England Patriots (from Chargers):Ja'Lynn Polk, WR, WashingtonGrade: CThe Patriots get their much-needed receiver help for rookie first-round QB Drake Maye but Polk is a curious choice from a strong cla s with plenty of better No.1-types still on the board. New England gets a physical route-running target but there are some questions about Polks big-play ability away from Michael Penix Jr., Rome Odunze and the Huskies offense.38. Tenne see Titans:T'Vondre Sweat, DT, TexasGrade: CThe Titans are trying to rev up their defense up front and hope that Sweat can be the right powerful complement to Jeffery Simmons. There is some risk here, given Sweat was arrested on a DWI charge earlier this month, but the Titans hope he can stay on the field and do the mighty job he can do vs. the run.39. Las Angeles Rams (from Giants through Panthers):Braden Fiske, DT, Florida StateGrade: AThe Rams after getting Jared Verse to further boost Chris Shulas edge pa s rush in the first round, go back to Florida State to land some needed inside pop in the wake of Aaron Donald retiring. Fiske is productive with his relentle s, quick style and should provide immediate impact up front.40. Philadelphia Eagles (from Bears through Commanders): Cooper DeJean, CB, IowaGrade: A+The Eagles should be celebrating trading up with a division foe as also land DeJean to upgrade their secondary after staying put and landing speedy corner Quinyon Mitchell in the first round. DeJean is a unique versatile playmaker who will be maximize in the back of Vic Fangios scheme.41. New Orleans Saints (from Jets through Packers):Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, AlabamaGrade: A+The Saints have a pretty good starting duo of Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo, but they needed some playmaking depth. He is strong and quick enough to play inside at first if needed while he can work on developing some true shutdown potential.42. Houston Texans (from Vikings):Kamari La siter, CB, GeorgiaGrade: BThe Texana entered the draft by getting more playmaking depth of their own behind Derek Stingley Jr. and Jeff Okudah. Hes also a quick, physical, determined corner who can cover inside or outside with his strength and technique.43. Arizona Cardinals (from Falcons):Max Melton, CB, RutgersGrade: CThe Cardinals reach a little bit for corner help, as Meltons all-around toughne s and quickne s in a smaller frame suit him best for slot duty when they need better solutions outside for defensive-minded Jonathan Gannon.44. Las Vegas Raiders:Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, OregonGrade: A+The Raiders made a bit of a luxury head-scratcher for their offense with Brock Bowers in the first round, but they compensate here and there is room for Powers-Johnson to be a dominant run blocker at right guard to support Dylan Parham and Andre James inside. His quickne s and toughne s give him a high floor as he develops as a pa s protector.45. Green Bay Packers (from Broncos through Saints):Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&MGrade: AThe Packers fill a key need on the second level with a speedy and quick natural cover man and pa s rusher. Cooper is a much-needed mi sing piece to give them a lot more playmaking range.46. Carolina Panthers (from Colts):Jonathon Brooks, RB, TexasGrade: CBrooks is a curious early running back selection for a team that has more pre sing needs offensively and defensively, especially coming off a torn ACL. Brooks is an upgrade over either Miles Sanders or Chuba Hubbard, for sure, but it was unnece sary to trade up for him, let alone target him at this point in the second round.47. New York Giants (from Seahawks):Tyler Nubin, S, MinnesotaGrade: AThe Giants didnt waste time replacing free-agent departure Xavier McKInney. Nubin is easily the best impact safety in this cla s with his versatility and explosivene s.48. Jacksonville Jaguars:Maason Smith, DT, LSUGrade: CThe Jaguars make a major reach for a need next to newcomer Arik Armstead with better options on the board, settling for Smith, who might just end up being a solid rotational reserve.49. Cincinnati Bengals:Kris Jenkins, DT, MichiganGrade: AThe Bengals got the kind of the tackle they wanted through this positional run as he provides some explosive inside pa s rush while also developing to be a true stout force vs. the run.50. Washington Commanders (from Saints through Eagles):Mike Sainristill, CB, MichiganGrade: AThe Commanders needed to replace Kendall Fuller and do so well with an aggre sive playmaker who plays bigger than his size.51. Pittsburgh Steelers:Zach Frazier, C, West VirginiaGrade: AThe Steelers had a ma sive need to upgrade center and can feel great about landing Frazier as an immediate starter after landing Troy Fautanu to upgrade tackle in the first round.52. Indianapolis Colts (from Rams through Panthers):Adonai Mitchell, WR, TexasGrade: AThe Colts get their much-needed downfield complement to MIchael Pittman Jr. to further support Anthony Richardsons deep pa sing. Mitchell gives them a dangerous big-play threat who can grow into be consistent, more reliable target.53. Washington Commanders (from Eagles):Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas StateGrade: B-Sinnott is an intriguing project because of his rare speed and quickne s as a receiver but he is a sizable reach because he will need time to develop all-around for Kliff Kingsbury behind Zach Ertz.54. Cleveland Browns:Michael Hall, DT, Ohio StateGrade: CThe Browns needed to improve their interior depth for Jim Schwartzs front and take a reach shot on Hall, who is rather raw, with his technique needing a lot of work to match his natural strong, explosive appeal.55. Miami Dolphins:Patrick Paul, OT, HoustonGrade: CPaul stood out in the proce s for his ma sive blocking frame packed with power, but theres lot to sharpen regarding his quickne s and technique to hold up as a regular pa s-protector. Hes a little bit of a project behind Terron Armstead and Austin Jackson.56. Dallas Cowboys:Marshon Kneeland, EDGE, Western MichiganGrade: BThe Cowboys need to replenish their pa s-rush depth a bit and Kneeland doesnt need much more development to be productive with his versatility and variety of moves.57. Tampa Bay Buccaneers:Chris Braswell, EDGE, AlabamaGrade: AThe Buccaneers moved on from Shaquil Barrett in the offseason and needed to go to work on restocking the edge rush for Todd Bowles. Braswell can be overaggre sive at times, but when he contains and focuses his play, he can maximize his speed and quickne s to get to the QB and make other big plays.58. Green Bay Packers:Javon Bullard, S, GeorgiaGrade: B+The Packers signed McKinney from the Giants in free agency to upgrade their pa s coverage at the position and now add a strong upfield complement for strong safety.59. Houston Texans:Blake Fisher, OT, Notre DameGrade: BFisher gives the team a contingency for fading Tytus Howard, who struggled outside and inside, leaving some questions at right tackle opposite Laremy Tunsil. Fisher has the right strength and power for the position and can develop into a more nimble pa s protector for C.J. Stroud.60. Buffalo Bills:Cole Bishop, S, UtahGrade: CBishop fills a need with the team moving on from Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer but the Bills reached a bit for his pure speedy coverage skills as Bishop is deficient for now in the run-supporting part of his game.61. Detroit Lions:Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Mi si sippi StateGrade: A+The Lions get another dynamic cover man to rebuild their cornerback again after jumping on Terrion Arnold in the first round. They targeted Rakestraw as an ideal fit for Aaron Glenns coverage scheme.62. Baltimore Ravens:Roger Rosengarten, OT, WashingtonGrade: B-Rosengarten is somewhat raw and that made him a reach here because hes more of a project second-rounder, but his athletic, aggre sive blocking style could push him into a starting role in time.63. Kansas City Chiefs (from 49ers):Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYUGrade: AThe Chiefs may have stolen another top offensive lineman for their scheme on Day 2. Suamataia has natural strength for his powerful frame but proved pre-draft he has a high ceiling as a pa s protector.64. San Francisco 49ers (from Chiefs):Renardo Green, CB, Florida StateGrade: A-The 49ers needed to addre s corner opposite Charvarius Ward and Green was a late riser because of his relentle s, physical man coverage skills.Round 365. New York Jets (from Panthers):Malachi Corley, WR, Western KentuckyGrade: AThe Jets make a great pick for a Randall Cobb-like slot for Aaron Rodgers. Corleys savvy route-running makes him reliable inside playing off Garrett Wilson and he also brings some big-play burst after the catch.66. Arizona Cardinals:Trey Benson, RB, Florida StateGrade: CThe Cardinals needed to support James Conner with a strong backup, but they should have gone for more of a quick change of pace than Benson, a powerful between-the-tackles runner with just flashes of explosive burst.67. Washington Commanders:Brandon Coleman, G, TCUGrade: C-Coleman appeals with his strong, powerful frame but hes caught in between inside or outside as his best future fit and the Commanders reach a bit for more of a developmental backup.68. New England Patriots:Caedan Wallace, OT, Penn StateGrade: DThe Patriots make another Cole Strange-like offensive line reach for a project-type right tackle despite his starting experience in college.69. Los Angeles Chargers:Junior Colson, LB, MichiganGrade: AJim Harbaugh fills a big need for a speedy playmaking and rangy second-level cover man with a trusted player from his college program.70. New York Giants:Andru Phillips, CB, KentuckyGrade: CThe Giants reach quite a bit for some coverage help as Phillips is regulated more to short-area and run-supporting work inside.71. Arizona Cardinals (from Titans):Isaiah Adams, OT, IllinoisGrade: DThe Cardinals join the Patriots in reaching for a backup-level blocker caught in between inside and outside.72. Carolina Panthers (from Jets):Trevin Wallace, LB, KentuckyGrade: DThe Panthers dig deep for linebacker help vs. going for many better, more well-rounded prospects. Wallace has plenty of speed but needs to improve all-around to use his fast a set to be effective.73. Dallas Cowboys (from Detroit Lions through Vikings):Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas StateGrade: AThe Cowboys have embraced the upgrading offensive line theme here with Beebes pick following the first-round pick of Tyler Guyton for tackle. Beebe will get on the field with a chance to start to help Zack Martin inside because of natural power and strength.74. Atlanta Falcons:Bralon Trice, EDGE, WashingtonGrade: A+The Falcons come away with tremendous pa s-rush value for Morris after going inside with Orhorhoro. Trices strength and relentle sne s will continue to lead to reliable production.75. Chicago Bears:Kiran Amegadjie, OT, YaleGrade: AThe Bears make a smart move again with Williams in mind by addre sing pa s protection. Amegadjie rose up boards because of his smooth blocking and agility and aggre sivene s to match.76. Denver Broncos:Jonah Elli s, EDGE, UtahGrade: B+Elli s had fluctuating value from Round 3 to Round 4, but the Broncos recognized his high floor against the run and plenty of untapped pa s-rush potential.77. Las Vegas Raiders:Delmar Glaze, OT, MarylandGrade: CGlaze has good quickne s and agility, but more so as a swing backup tackle with some starting potential in time.78. Houston Texans (from Seahawks through Commanders, Eagles):Calen Bullock, S, USCGrade: AThe Texans addre s a key area of need for DeMeco Ryans' secondary with Bullock's speed, quickne s, and big-slot coverage potential.79. Indianapolis Colts (from Jaguars through Falcons, Cardinals):Matt Goncalvez, OT, PittGrade: C-The Colts make the latest reach for an offensive tackle based on size and strength, but theres a long way for Goncalves to go to show trusted footwork and athleticism.80. Cincinnati Bengals:Jermaine Burton, WR, AlabamaGrade: A+The Bengals smartly draft the ideal slot replacement for Tyler Boyd. Burtons combination of hands, quickne s and flashes of speed give him higher big-play upside to boot.81. Seattle Seahawks (from Saints through Broncos):Christian Haynes, G, UConnGrade: A+The Seahawks steal a super-athletic run blocker who should have been a second-rounder. Haynes also has plenty of room to improve his power as he starts right away.82. Arizona Cardinals (from Colts):Tip Reiman, TE, IllinoisGrade: DReiman is a strong, smart physical run blocker, but its an absolute reach for a gadget type versatile offensive cog.83. Los Angeles Rams:Blake Corum, RB, MichiganGrade: B-The Rams were in the market for a better backup to Kyren Williams to give them some more change-of-pace juice and still developing receiving skills. Corum will see calculated work behind Williams workhorse.84. Pittsburgh Steelers:Roman Wilson, WR, MichiganGrade: A+The Steelers had to draft an impact receiver opposite George Pickens after treading Diontae Johson. Pickens and Wilson could become what DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett were for Ru sell Wilson in Seattle. Wilson stands out from his undersized frame with flat-out big-play flair with the potential to become more consistent as a short-area after-catch po se sion target.85. Cleveland Browns:Zak Zinter, G, MichiganGrade: BThe Browns reach just a bit for an injury-recovering interior blocker who gets the most power out of his strong frame. Zinter is a worthy developmental backup who can accelerate the proce s soon.86. San Francisco 49ers (from Eagles):Dominick Puni, OT, KansasGrade: APuni is the ideal athletic run blocker for Kyle Shanahans scheme who has the potential to start sooner rather than later.87. Dallas Cowboys:Marist Liufsu, LB, Notre DameGrade: CThe Cowboys did well to addre s linebacker but perhaps could have gone for a more complete option than a speedy aggre sive coverage-based defender with some limitations vs. the run.88. Green Bay Packers:MarShawn Lloyd, RB, USCGrade: BThe Packers get an explosive change of pace for new feature back Josh Jacobs and he also can relieve Jacobs well with some big-play juice in the pa sing game.89. Tampa Bay Buccaneers:Tykee Smith, S, GeorgiaGrade: BThe Buccaneers get a contingency for returning Jordan Whitehead as Smith projects as an exclusive cla sic strong safety with his run-supporting and short-area inside coverage.90. Arizona Cardinals (from Texans): Elijah Jones, CB, Boston CollegeGrade: BGannon gets to grab a cover corner with great size but Jones has to do plenty to tap into hims immense potential with the ceiling of a big shutdown type.91. Green Bay Packers (from Bills):Ty'Ron Hopper, LB, Mi souriGrade: CThe Packers made a meh linebacker pick after nailing it with Cooper earlier on Day 2. Hopper is a straight-up upfield tackler with limited coverage pop.92. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Lions): Jalen McMillan, WR, WashingtonGrade: AThe Buccaneers moved Chris Godwin to more regular outside duties opposite Mike Evans last season and Ru sell Gage was hurt, so it makes sense to add McMillan as the new dedicated slot as he has the complete quick package to thrive there for them.93. Baltimore Ravens:Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn StateGrade: A+Isaac got more attention alongside former college teammate Chop Robinson because of natural pa s-rush skills and relentle sne s. This is a great get to revamp the pa s rush minus Jadeveon Clowney and schemer Mike MacDonale.94. Philadelphia Eagles (from 49ers):Jaylx Hunt, LB, Houston ChristianGrade: AThe Eagles swing for the fences with a high-upside tiny-school pa s rusher who can easily blo som in Fangios defense. Hunt has all the tools to put it together, he just needs to do so.95. Buffalo Bills (from Chiefs):DeWayne Carter, DT, DukeGrade: AThe Bills get a needed high-energy run stopper for Sean McDermotts front. Carter adds great intangibles and true pa s-rush upside.96. Jacksonville Jaguars:Jarrian Jones, CB, Florida StateGrade: BJones has been tabbed as a solid slot with his quickne s but he can be more than that and could end up starting opposite Tyson Campbell.97. Cincinnati Bengals: McKinnley Jackson, DT, Texas A&MGrade: BAfter drafting Kris Jenkins earlier for more interior pa s-rushing upside, the Bengals go ahead and get their ma sive run stopper to replace powerful D.J. Reader.98. Pittsburgh Steelers (from Eagles):Payton Wilson, LB, N.C. StateGrade: A+The Steelers somehow land the best linebacker in the draft because everyone was scared about how long he can hold up, despite the fact he can have an immediate impact with incredible athleticism and smarts. He and Patrick Queen can dominate together.99. Los Angeles Rams:Kamren Kinchens, S, MiamiGrade: AKinchens excels as a rangy cover man who can be a major a set for the team in nickel packages.100. Washington Commanders (from 49ers):Luke McCaffrey, WR, RiceGrade: CTheres logic for the Commanders to take a big slot for Daniels to put in between Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson after not retaining Curtis Samuel. They could have got him however well into Day 3 but they do add another diverse intermediate target. George Hill Jersey
