  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 39 — Bradenn Fiske

  • Draft Grade: C

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 93

  • School: Florida St.

  • Height: 6′ 4″

  • Weight: 292

  The Rams definitely had a need for a disruptive defensive presence, but Fiske has a bit of an odd profile. He’s a freakish athlete, but also an older prospect — which, admittedly, the Rams had success with a year ago. Fiske needs to add some strength to be an every-down player in the NFL, but there is some upside here considering his athleticism. A 2025 second round pick is a high price to pay here.

  Expert Commentary: No. 38 — T’Vondre Sweat

  • Draft Grade: D+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 42

  • School: Texas

  • Height: 6′ 5″

  • Weight: 366

  The Titans got bigger on defense, but it’s fair to wonder where his skill set fits in the modern NFL. He’s not going to be a pass rush threat at around 370 pounds, but at least should have some impact against the run. This feels a bit early for a pure run stuffer.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 36 — Jer’Zhan Newton

  • Draft Grade: A

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 28

  • School: Illinois

  • Height: 6′ 2″

  • Weight: 304

  Love this pick for the Commanders. Newton has had some struggles with a foot injury over the past few months, but he’s as talented as they come for interior pressure players. He’s got a wide repertoire of pass-rush moves and if his foot is good to go, he and Jonathan Allen will wreck heads for Dan Quinn’s defense.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 35 — Ruke Orhorhoro

  • Draft Grade: C-

  • School: Clemson

  • Height: 6′ 4″

  • Weight: 294

  Orhorhoro has some nice traits where he’ll have the chance to grow and develop into a nice, disruptive player, but it’s a little interesting that the Falcons felt like they needed to trade up for him. Perhaps their bet on his upside works, but it just didn’t seem like they needed to give up draft capital to pick him right outside the first round.

  The NFL welcomed the reigning College Football Playoff National Champion Michigan Wolverines to the Draft

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 34 — Ladd McConkey

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 35

  • School: Georgia

  • Height: 6′ 0″

  • Weight: 186

  The Chargers desperately needed a wide receiver and traded up to get the speedy playmaker from Georgia. He was a force for the Dawgs from Day 1 and a fantastic route runner for an offense that featured several NFL players. It’s an unproven wide receiver room for the Chargers, but McConkey and Quentin Johnston have some promise at least.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 33 — Keon Coleman

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 33

  • School: Florida St.

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 213

  If you told people Keon Coleman would still be available here back in September, it would have sounded crazy. He’s got big-time talent, but suffered through some inconsistencies over the back half of his final season. Running the 40 in the 4.6 didn’t help his cause, but he might be type of receiver that should have success in the NFL.

  A huge run on Wide Receivers early in the draft continues with now four straight WRs picked and nine take in the first 34 selections

  Buffalo finally takes a WR after trading down twice during Round 1

• Fri, April 26, 2024 at 5:06 PM MDT

  Day Two of the NFL Draft is underway

  The Buffalo Bills have the first pick of the second round, No. 33 overall to get things started on Day 2.

  In Round 2, teams will have seven minutes to make their selection, as opposed to 10 minutes in Round 1. In Round 3, teams will have five minutes to make their selections.

  There are 32 selections in Round 2 and 37 in Round 3 this season because of compensatory selections awarded to teams who lost compensatory free agents during the off season. Those are determined by the NFL with a formula that considers salary, playing time and postseason honors of the player that left in free agency.

  Who’ll rule the NFC North for the next few years?

  Detroit won the NFC North last year and is in the midst of a franchise renaissance. This comes as the other three teams in the division have now loaded up on potential superstars under center. Even with the Lions ruling the roost for the moment, could the Bears, Packers and Vikings be hot on their heels?

  Kansas City adds speed to the WR room in Round 1

  The two-time degending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are already solidified among the league’s elite teams thanks to a once-in-a-generation quarterback/head coach pairing, but throughout the regular season K.C. did face some questions at wide receiver. While some of those were answered by the emergence of Rashee Rice, questions remain around his availability stemming from an off-season car crash he was involved in down in Texas.

  Even after adding Hollywood Brown before the Draft, K.C. spend a first round pick on the fasters player in the draft, Texas’ Xavier Worthy, and Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew weighed in on the champs’ pick.

  Best players available on Day 2

  Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft are here, and there are still some big nsmae on the board for the second day of picks. Quarterback Spencer Rattler — who lost his starting job at Oklahoma to eventual No. 1 pick Caleb Williams before transferring to South Carolina — is just one of many big names still available. Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice has a full list, broken down by position, of the top stars still waiting to get their names called in Detroit on Friday.

  Why the Atlanta Falcons’ selection of Michael Penix Jr. is bizarre

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 10:09 PM MDT

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 32 — Xavier Legette

  • Draft Grade: C+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 76

  • School: South Carolina

  • Height: 6′ 1″

  • Weight: 221

  This is a fine pick for the Panthers. They probably didn’t need to trade up, but moving up one spot to secure your guy isn’t the worst move in the world. They also needed to add a bigger player to their wide receiver room. This is solid pickup for the Panthers who really needed juice on offense.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 31 — Ricky Persall

  • Draft Grade: D

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 85

  • School: Florida

  • Height: 6′ 1″

  • Weight: 189

  Huh? This pick seems a bit out of nowhere, especially considering no one really had Pearsall going at this point in the draft. Perhaps this is the 49ers bracing for a move at wide receiver, but Pearsall could have been had later than this.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 30 — Nate Wiggins

  • Draft Grade: B-

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 31

  • School: Clemson

  • Height: 6′ 1″

  • Weight: 173

  Baltimore definitely has a need for a cornerback, but it took a bit of a project at the position at this point in the draft. Wiggins is a rangy, fast corner, but he needs to add weight and strength before he can be a real contributor for the Ravens defense.
