CLEVELAND, Ohio — The first 100 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft are in the books. All 32 teams have added multiple players over the course of two days.
We already had an idea of how many of these classes were shaking out before the day started. With three rounds done, the picture has started to clear up even more.
There are still 157 players left to be selected, and those will add even more depth to these classes.

While we won’t truly know which teams won the draft for three or even four years down the road, you can get an idea of how a draft class looks right after the picks are in.
Here are how all 32 NFL teams graded out after Day 2 of the draft. Also, check out our grades from the first round of the draft.
Arizona Cardinals: A-
Players drafted: CB Max Melton, RB Trey Benson, OT Isaiah Adams, TE Tip Reiman, CB Elijah Jones
Breakdown: The Cardinals went back-to-back defensive players after selecting Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall. Rutgers hasn’t had a player go earlier than Melton since 2010 when Anthony Davis and Devin McCourty were first-round picks.
They then got a running back in Benson to help out Kyler Murray. Benson had back-to-back 900-yard seasons for Florida State and has more than enough speed and size to be a feature back. He will need to be a more instinctive runner in the NFL. But it’s a good fit on a Cardinals team that was feistier than expected because of their running game.
Reiman is the most intriguing of their other three picks after having one of the fastest 40-yard dash times at the NFL combine.
Atlanta Falcons: D+
Players drafted: DT Ruke Orhorhoro, Edge rusher Bralen Trice
Breakdown: The Michael Penix Jr. pick will keep this grade low throughout the weekend. It didn’t help matters that the Falcons traded up to get Orhorhoro, who is a quality athlete but needs work as a pass rusher, ahead of Jer’Zhan Newton.
Trice has easily been the best value the Falcons have gotten through three rounds. He is a relentless edge rusher who plays with more power than his 245-pound frame would suggest. It’s a bright spot in a rough weekend for the Falcons.
Baltimore Ravens: A-
Players drafted: OT Roger Rosengarten, Edge rusher Adisa Isaac
Breakdown: The Ravens became the third AFC North team to draft an offensive tackle. Rosengarten has intriguing potential and upside, but he is slight at 308 pounds and will need to add weight to be ready to start full time.
Isaac is a major steal for the Ravens at pick 93. He had a shot to go as early as the beginning of the second round because of his length and speed off the edge. To me, this is Baltimore’s best pick of the week.
Buffalo Bills: C+
Players drafted: WR Keon Coleman, S Cole Bishop. DT DeWayne Carter
Breakdown: The Bills dropped down twice in this draft. But when they finally chose to make a pick, they got a receiver they desperately needed in Coleman. At one time, Coleman was a potential top-10 pick because of his size, hands and fluidity. However, He didn’t produce quite as expected and he did not run well at the NFL combine, with a 4.61-second 40-yard dash.
I also like the depth that Bishop and Carter can provide to a Bills defense that got banged up late last season.
What hurts this grade is trading down with the Chiefs and allowing them to get Xavier Worthy. It felt like a very risky gamble for them to take, and it costs them right now.
Carolina Panthers: B
Players drafted: RB Jonathon Brooks, LB Trevin Wallace
Breakdown: I liked that the Panthers have invested in getting more skill around Bryce Young. They traded up for Xavier Legette on Thursday, and they moved up again to get the draft’s best running back in Brooks.
He is coming off a torn ACL, but he is a dynamic athlete with great vision and balance.
Wallace has a lot of speed and is a strong hitter. He has a lot of things to clean up about his game, but you would have to imagine a former linebacker in Panthers GM Dan Morgan had to like what he saw to take Wallace where he did.
Chicago Bears: A+
Players drafted: OT Kiran Amegadjie
Breakdown: It’s rare to find a talented tackle out of the Ivy League. However, Amegadjie was just that as he rose up from the FCS to being the 75th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Amegadjie has a projectable frame to potentially play left tackle in the NFL. But he will need time because he’s very raw. But it’s a great future investment at this point as the Bears continue to build around Caleb Williams.
Cincinnati Bengals: A-
Players drafted: DT Kris Jenkins, WR Jermaine Burton, DT McKinnley Jackson
Breakdown: The Bengals got themselves a potential replacement for DJ Reader and insurance depending on the future of Tee Higgins in Cincinnati. Jenkins, who has great NFL bloodlines, is an outstanding athlete and does his best work against the run. He will need to work on a pass-rush plan, but he has the requisite tools to get there.
Burton adds speed at receiver for the Bengals after having two straight solid seasons at Alabama. Jackson is a bigger body to give the Bengals more depth on the defensive interior.
Cleveland Browns: B+
Players drafted: DT Michael Hall Jr., IOL Zak Zinter
Breakdown: Hall feels like the textbook Andrew Berry pick: young and from a Power 5 school. He also gives the Browns what they don’t have in a pass-rushing threat from the interior of the defense.
Hall has explosiveness and a high-end motor, and he has added weight during the draft process. He will need to be better against the run, but that’s something the Browns can work with him on as he develops behind their veterans.
I don’t mind the Zinter pick because the Browns need to start thinking about the future at guard, and he will have the time to develop. But it felt early for him, especially with some good skill players including Troy Franklin still available at the time. That said, Zinter was the heart and soul of Michigan’s offensive line, and he should bring that toughness with him to Cleveland.
Dallas Cowboys: A-
Players drafted: Edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland, IOL Cooper Beebe, LB Marist Liufau
Breakdown: Dallas has gone with a substance over style draft. Kneeland didn’t produce a lot at Western Michigan, but he has exciting tools, particularly with his length. He also has a high-end motor and room to improve as he works on his technique.
Beebe is one of my favorite guards in this draft because of his intelligence. Liufau brings an aggressive mentality, adding to a physical draft for the Cowboys.
Denver Broncos: D
Players drafted: Edge rusher Jonah Elliss
Breakdown: I was very harsh with the Broncos’ Day 1 grade because I felt like Bo Nix was a panic pick. They did help themselves with the selection of Elliss in the third round.
Elliss is a smaller edge rusher, but he uses his great length and bend to make up for not being very big. I was higher on Elliss than others, so this is good value. It helps the grade, but only slightly.
Detroit Lions: A-
Players drafted: CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Breakdown: After drafting Terrion Arnold in the first round on Thursday, Detroit doubled down on its need for defensive backs with the selection of another SEC corner in Rakestraw. He has battled some injuries during his career, missing four games last season with a groin injury.
He’s not big or fast, but he is a very tough corner and he moves well. It’s the right kind of mentality for the Lions.
Green Bay Packers: B
Players drafted: LB Edgerrin Cooper, S Javon Bullard, RB MarShawn Lloyd, LB Ty’Ron Hopper
Breakdown: The Packers really attacked the back seven throughout Day 2. Cooper has three-down ability as the top linebacker in this class, and Bullard draws a lot of similarities to Brian Branch. He is a safety, but he can fill the nickel role as well.
I also really liked the pick of Lloyd, even though it may have been a bit early for him. That said, he is an explosive runner with a lot of speed and a knack for getting out of tackles.
Houston Texans: B+
Players drafted: CB Kamari Lassiter, T Blake Fisher, S Calen Bullock
Breakdown: The Texans sat out Day 1 after an earlier trade with the Vikings. But they were busy on Friday with three picks as they took two defensive backs.
Lassiter isn’t a high-end athlete, but he is very fluid and has great reaction ability. Bullock is a true free safety who doesn’t provide much in the run game, but does well vs. the pass. Fisher is a nice young tackle who could grow into a starter.
Indianapolis Colts: A-
Players drafted: WR Adonai Mitchell, OT Matt Goncalves
Breakdown: There’s no reason Adonai Mitchell should have fallen to the 52nd pick. He had legitimate first-round potential with his size-speed combination. So it shouldn’t be a shocker that Chris Ballard, who loves high-end athletes, ended Mitchell’s draft-week slide.
The Colts went for offensive line depth in Goncalves, who played on both the left and right side at Pitt. Goncalves matches his large frame with quality hands.
Jacksonville Jaguars: C+
Players drafted: DT Maason Smith, CB Jarrian Jones
Breakdown: The Jaguars went back-to-back on LSU prospects, taking Brian Thomas Jr. in the first round on Thursday and following him up with Smith. A former five-star prospect, Smith has a lot of athletic tools but he is very raw.
The late third round felt very early for Jones, who doesn’t have long arms and might need to be a slot corner. But he has speed and good ball skills.
Kansas City Chiefs: A-
Players drafted: OT Kingsley Suamataia
Breakdown: After grabbing the draft’s fastest receiver in Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs went for one of the more interesting tackles in this draft in Suamataia. He has a lot of interesting tools for a tackle, including height and length.
But he will need time before he’s ready to step in as a starter. Good news for him is the Chiefs have a veteran in Jawaan Taylor and a youngster in Wanya Morris to help insulate him so that Suamataia doesn’t have to play before he’s ready.
Las Vegas Raiders: B+
Players drafted: C Jackson Powers-Johnson, T Delmar Glaze
Breakdown: After taking far and away the best tight end on Day 1, the Raiders kept the smart picks coming by taking probably the best pure center in this draft with Powers-Johnson at No. 44.
Powers-Johnson was a unanimous All-American in his only full season starting at center, but he has great athletic tools, particularly with his quickness. However, he has just 17 starts, including one on defense, so he needs a little work.
Glaze needs to curb his aggressiveness, but he has good size and strength.
Los Angeles Chargers: A
Players drafted: WR Ladd McConkey, LB Junior Colson
Breakdown: Jim Harbaugh got a first-hand look at McConkey when his Wolverines played Georgia in the College Football Playoff in 2021. McConkey is an incredibly fluid receiver with great acceleration and toughness. He should slot in quickly as a favorite target for Justin Herbert.
It also shouldn’t be a shock that Harbaugh took a former Wolverine in Colson. He had a chance to be the first linebacker off the board and he was great value in the third round because of his three-down ability.
Los Angeles Rams: A-
Players drafted: DT Braden Fiske, RB Blake Corum
Breakdown: So now we know what the Rams look like when they have early picks. They started Friday night by being aggressive and trading up for Fiske, who has been a star of the draft process. He had a great Senior Bowl week and followed it up with a great combine. It was good to see him have a good year at Florida State after playing at Western Michigan the year prior.
The pick of Corum feels like a little luxury because they have Kyren Williams. But the toughness and quickness of Corum could help complement the burst of Williams and give the veteran a lighter workload.
Miami Dolphins: B-
Players drafted: OT Patrick Paul
Breakdown: Paul was the only pick the Dolphins made on Day 2. Pick 55 may have been slightly early for Paul.
However, he has a very projectable build for the tackle position, and he has a lot of starting experience at left tackle. With Terron Armstead considering retirement earlier this offseason before deciding to play, getting Paul is a sensible, smart move.
Minnesota Vikings: A-
Breakdown: The Vikings did not have a Day 2 pick after trading up for J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner on Thursday.
New England Patriots: A-
Players drafted: WR Ja’Lynn Polk, OT Caedan Wallace
Breakdown: The Patriots slid down a couple spots before getting Drake Maye a young receiver in Polk. One of the other receivers at Washington behind Rome Odunze, Polk was incredibly effective at jump balls with a contested catch rate of 50% according to Pro Football Focus. He’s not flashy, but just very solid and steady.
Wallace was the first player outside of my Composite Top 150 to be drafted. But he has a lot of starting experience, and he combines it with a great frame and above-average hands.
New Orleans Saints: A-
Players drafted: CB Kool-Aid McKinstry
Breakdown: It’s a typically safe bet to take DBs from Alabama. McKinstry had two great seasons after coming to Tuscaloosa as a five-star prospect in 2021.
McKinstry has outstanding ball skills as evidenced by 26 pass breakups and six interceptions over five seasons. He’s not an elite athlete, but almost everything else about him is quality.
New York Giants: A-
Players drafted: S Tyler Nubin, CB Andru Phillips
Breakdown: The Giants have been all about the perimeter this weekend. After drafting Malik Nabers on Thursday, they added two defensive backs on Friday to try and combat the passing attacks of the NFC East.
Nubin was arguably the best safety in the draft with his ability to play the pass and the run well. He has good speed and intelligence needed for the position. Phillips is a smaller corner, but he is physical against the run and very explosive.
New York Jets: A
Players drafted: WR Malachi Corley
Breakdown: Aaron Rodgers now has help on offense. The Jets gave him a potential star left tackle in Olu Fashanu on Thursday night, and they took one of the most electric receivers in this draft in Corley.
He has a build reminiscent of Deebo Samuel and does his best work after the catch. He should complement Garrett Wilson very well.
It’s been a good weekend so far for the Jets.
Philadelphia Eagles: A
Players drafted: CB Cooper DeJean, Edge rusher Jalyx Hunt
Breakdown: The work Howie Roseman has done the past couple of drafts has been nothing short of sensational and he did it again by trading up to get the stud corner from Iowa. DeJean has rare weight for a cornerback at 202 pounds, which makes him a great run supporter. He also has great ball skills and pairing him with Quinyon Mitchell means the Eagles have reloaded the corner position this weekend.
They also took an intriguing FCS prospect in Hunt, who made a name for himself at the combine.
Pittsburgh Steelers: A+
Players drafted: C Zach Frazier, WR Roman Wilson, LB Payton Wilson
Breakdown: It’s easy to love how Omar Khan has attacked this draft. He started off with Troy Fautanu to bolster the offensive line, and he doubled down on it by taking one of the best centers in the draft in Frazier.
A former four-time wrestling state champion in high school, Frazier has good size and power for the position.
They also added one of the draft’s most athletic receivers in Wilson. He didn’t a chance to show as much as he could have in Michigan’s rush-heavy offense, but he has great hands and toughness. Wilson is quite the add to complement George Pickens.
Add in a potential steal in Wilson, who fell due to injury and age concerns, and the Steelers might have the best draft in the AFC North.
San Francisco 49ers: C+
Players drafted: CB Renardo Green, IOL Dominick Puni
Breakdown: After making a slight reach in Ricky Pearsall on Thursday, they added an interesting corner prospect in Green. He plays physical despite being 5-11. He lacks elite speed, but he plays with a lot of intensity and he is an analytics darling.
Puni fits into a rare category after he ran the short shuttle in 4.40 seconds, which Josh Norris of Underdog Fantasy noted is almost a guarantee of success in the NFL. He also comes from a Kansas offense built on the run game.
Seattle Seahawks: A
Players drafted: IOL Christian Haynes
Breakdown: Offensive guard was a need for the Seahawks, and they found a good one waiting for them at pick 81 in Haynes. He started 49 straight games for the Huskies.
That experience shows in how he processes the game. He’s not a tall guard, but his ability to move and play with power help make up for it. He is only the second UConn offensive lineman to go on Day 2 of the draft since 2009.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A-
Players drafted: Edge rusher Chris Braswell, S Tykee Smith, WR Jalen McMillan
Breakdown: The Buccaneers found a pair of good value picks at premium positions in Braswell and McMillan. They were also overshadowed by stars at their positions on their college teams with Braswell playing alongside Dallas Turner and McMillan at times taking a back seat to Rome Odunze.
Smith is a corner-safety hybrid who could fill the nickel role, which has become so important in today’s NFL. His size makes him quite an asset against the run.
Tennessee Titans: C+
Players drafted: DT T’Vondre Sweat
Breakdown: After taking JC Latham in the first round, the Titans addressed the other line by taking the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in Sweat. He is more athletic than a player you would expect at 362 pounds. But questions about his weight and a DWI earlier in April made people thought he would be available much later. So this feels like a big reach.
Washington Commanders: A+
Players drafted: DT Jer’Zhan Newton, CB Mike Sainristil, TE Ben Sinnott, T Brandon Coleman, WR Luke McCaffrey
Breakdown: The draft isn’t over, but first year GM Adam Peters might want to take a bow right now.
Newton was the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year, but his slide all the way down to the 36th pick was a surprise. It may be a luxury pick considering they have Jonathan Allen and DaRon Payne right now at defensive tackle. But Newton is a quality interior pass rusher who should create more chaos up front, and it’s a great value pick.
Sainristil was such a culture changer at Michigan, and there’s no reason he can’t do it in Washington. Add in more help for Jayden Daniels including Sinnott and McCaffrey, and this has been the type of draft that can turn a franchise around.
It’ll be interesting to see how Washington builds on this on Saturday.
