The Patriots add a weapon for Drake Maye.
Williams has had a strong start to the 2024 season with 36 receptions for 355 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder is a huge receiver that presents a big target for his quarterback. Williams looks improved over his production in 2023 (41-573-4) and 2022 (29-392-4).

Rd: 1 Pk: 1The Bears could stand to continue to improve the interior of their offensive line.
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Jackson has been a tough blocker for the Buckeyes over the past few seasons. He blasts open holes in the ground game and does a steady job of protecting his quarterback. Jackson could be a safe pick to turn into a solid pro.

Rd: 1 Pk: 23 | Rd: 2 Pk: 23Even if Nick Chubb is brought back, the Browns could consider more running back talent to go with him.
In 2024, Hampton averaged 5.8 yards per carry for 901 yards and seven touchdowns with 16 receptions for 123 yards. The big back Hampton ran well for North Carolina in 2023, averaging 5.9 yards per carry for 1,504 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also caught 29 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot, 220-pound Hampton is built well for the NFL, and he is a physical load that breaks a lot of tackles while ripping off a lot of yards after contact.

Rd: 1 Pk: 8The Giants add a potential right tackle upgrade.
Belton put together a good 2023 season for the Wolfpack, helping his draft standing with NFL teams thanks to showing next-level ability. Alongside his size, Belton (6-6, 336) has enough quickness and athleticism to remain an edge blocker in the pros. Team sources said they had a third-round grade on Belton for the 2024 NFL Draft if he had decided to enter the draft. They noted that he might start as a backup but could develop into a starter. Belton could rise for the 2025 draft.

Burks (5-9 190) has playmaking ability and could explode with the Sooners in 2024. Thus far, he has 26 receptions for 201 yards and three touchdowns. In 2023, Burks caught 47 passes for 629 yards and seven touchdowns with Purdue. Burks is a fast and dynamic receiver.

Rd: 1 Pk: 2The Bengals add a three-down starter to replace Joe Mixon.
In 2024, Gordon has averaged 4.2 yards per carry for 491 yards (117 carries ) with six touchdowns. He has 12 catches for 80 yards. Gordon has been out with an injury. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound Gordon was one of the most effective running backs in college football in 2023, as he ripped off 1,732 yards with 21 touchdowns while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. He also showed functional receiving ability for a big back, with 39 catches for 330 yards and a touchdown. As a runner, Gordon has impressive vision and contact balance and can pick up yards after contact. He has quality speed for a big back with a straight-line burst to outrun some defenders on long runs. Gordon has soft hands and is natural catching the ball. He could stand to improve his knee bend to run more behind his pads as he is prone to running upright. He also requires some steps to hit top speed, so improving his burst would be helpful for the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 12The Cardinals could consider adding more young cornerback talent.
In 2024, Davis has 25 tackles with five passes broken up thus far. Davis (6-4, 195) is a tall, long cornerback who flashed ability for Arizona in 2023. He totaled 25 tackles with an interception and 15 passes broken up in a breakout 2023 season. Davis could stand to turn some of those broken-up passes into interceptions in 2024. To address the question with all big cornerbacks, Davis must show that he can run with speed receivers.

Rd: 1 Pk: 13The 49ers could use more defensive line youth.
In 2024, Capehart has 13 tackles and two passes batted. Clemson had a rotation of defensive linemen in 2023, but Capehart played well enough to impress the NFL advance scouts.

Rd: 1 Pk: 14The Chargers added some veterans, but they could use a long-term starter in the backfield.

In 2024, Loveland has 36 catches for 344 yards and two touchdowns. He had a fumble and drop in the loss Texas. Michigan had more experienced tight ends, but Loveland was so good that he forced his way onto the field. In 2023, he caught 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns.

As a junior in 2023, Stewart had 38 tackles with 5.5 sacks. Stewart would fit best as a 3-4 outside linebacker edge rusher in the NFL. Stewart does not have the size to be a base end in a 4-3 defense. In a 4-3 scheme, he would have to be a Sam linebacker that rushes off the edge in the sub package.

Rd: 1 Pk: 24The Bills could use more young cornerback talent.
In 2024, Walley has 17 tackles, an interception, and five passes broken up. Team sources say Walley impressed them during the 2023 season and was a steady defender for Minnesota.

Umanmielen still possesses upside to develop, so he could make another jump in 2024.

Rd: 1 Pk: 26The Steelers add more wide receiver talent.
In 2023, Egbuka had 41 catches for 515 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder turned in 74 receptions for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022. He emerged as a potential No. 1 receiver or really good No. 2 wideout. At other schools, Egbuka would have had an even bigger year, but he was the No. 2 receiver for Ohio State across from Marvin Harrison Jr. While injuries were a factor in 2023, Egbuka needs a bounce-back season in 2024 as he looked much faster in 2022 compared to his 2023 performance. Thus far in 2024, Egbuka has 40 catches for 526 yards and six touchdowns.

He had a strong 2022 season with 73 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and eight passes broken up. Team sources said Carter (5-11, 233) is fast and athletic but small and can get destroyed in the inside run. He struggles to get off blocks and is a run-chase linebacker. Carter fits as a coverage linebacker in the sub package, but he could have issues holding up in the base set in the NFL.
