N&D NFL DRAFT 2024

DAY TWO QUICK REACTIONS

ARIZONA CARDINALS

Day 1 Grade: B
Day 2 Grade: B+
I love the Melton pick. Benson & Adams are solid picks to fill needs. Reiman & Jones also fill needs but are each a bit of a reach.

ATLANTA FALCONS

Day 1 Grade: F
Day 2 Grade: B-
They finally focused on defense, but Orhorhoro over Johnny Newton is questionable. Trice was decent value.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

Day 1 Grade: B
Day 2 Grade: B
Rosengarten is a rare reach by the Ravens, albeit a small one. Isaac is more like a typical Baltimore pick; tremendous value.

BUFFALO BILLS

Day 1 Grade: N/A
Day 2 Grade: A
Buffalo traded out of the first round, but Coleman was a fringe first rounder. Bishop is one of my favorite players in the draft. Carter will help out on the defensive line.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

Day 1 Grade: C
Day 2 Grade: C+
Brooks was the top RB in the draft. Wallace was a reach.

CHICAGO BEARS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: C-
Amegadjie has tremendous upside, but he’s a project that won’t contribute much this season. They could have landed a pass rusher, defensive lineman, safety or interior offensive lineman that could’ve helped this year.

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Day 1 Grade: B+
Day 2 Grade: A
Jenkins was a great pick. Burton & Jackson are good value.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

Day 1 Grade: N/A
Day 2 Grade: A
Hall was the player I mocked to them, fills a need. Zinter is great value, who would have gone higher if he wasn’t injured.

DALLAS COWBOYS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: B
Kneeland is a fine pick. Beebe is tremendous value. Liufau was a bit of a reach. Might have gotten too cute and cost themselves a decent RB.

DENVER BRONCOS

Day 1 Grade: D
Day 2 Grade: B
Elliss was a good pick at a position of need.

DETROIT LIONS

Day 1 Grade: A+
Day 2 Grade: A
They double dipped at corner, but it was their biggest need and Rakestraw is very good.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Day 1 Grade: C-
Day 2 Grade: B+
Cooper & Bullard are great picks. Lloyd was a good pick, but not really a need. Hopper feels like an unnecessary reach.

HOUSTON TEXANS

Day 1 Grade: N/A
Day 2 Grade: A
Lassiter, Fisher & Bullock are all solid picks at areas of need.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Day 1 Grade: C
Day 2 Grade: B
Mitchell & Goncalves are solid picks, but still no corner.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Day 1 Grade: B
Day 2 Grade: C+
They focused on defense, their biggest need, but while Smith is a fine pick, Jones feels like a major reach.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Day 1 Grade: B-
Day 2 Grade: A+
Suamataia was a fringe first rounder and they got him at the back end of the second.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Day 1 Grade: B+
Day 2 Grade: A
Powers-Johnson was clearly the best player available, much like their first round pick. Glaze, meanwhile, was a solid pick.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: A

McConkey & Colson are solid picks with good value.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: A
Fiske is one of my favorite players in the draft. Corum will give them solid production in a rotational role. Kinchens was good value.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Day 1 Grade: B
Day 2 Grade: A
Paul was good value at a position of need.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Day 1 Grade: B

Day 2 Grade: N/A

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Day 1 Grade: B-
Day 2 Grade: B-
I like that they’re supporting their new QB, but while Polk is a decent pick, Wallace is a reach.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Day 1 Grade: A+
Day 2 Grade: A
Good value on McKinstry.

NEW YORK GIANTS

Day 1 Grade: A+
Day 2 Grade: B+
Nubin was an excellent pick. Phillips was a slight reach.

NEW YORK JETS

Day 1 Grade: A+
Day 2 Grade: B
Corley is a solid pick.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Day 1 Grade: A+
Day 2 Grade: A-
DeJean is a home run pick. Hunt is a bit of a project & they passed on some solid LBs.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Day 1 Grade: B+
Day 2 Grade: A+
Frazier is an excellent pick. Roman Wilson is solid, and maybe one of the sleepers of this class. Payton Wilson has significant injury concerns, but he’s a tremendous talent.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Day 1 Grade: D
Day 2 Grade: C-
Green is a reach. Puni is a decent pick.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: A
Haynes is great value at a position of need.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: A
Braswell & Smith are very good value. McMillan was a solid pick.

TENNESSEE TITANS

Day 1 Grade: C-
Day 2 Grade: D
Big reach on Sweat, who has serious character concerns.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Day 1 Grade: A
Day 2 Grade: A
Newton was tremendous value. Sainristil, Coleman & McCaffrey are solid picks. Slight reach on Sinnott.
