The Eagles tied a record for trades. The Cardinals filled needs. And some teams reached for players. Mel Kiper Jr. evaluates the 2024 NFL draft.
Mel Kiper has served as an NFL draft analyst for ESPN since 1984. He is a regular contributor on"SportsCenter," ESPN studio shows and ESPN Radio. He is the co-host of theselected in the top 32 picks, four more than any other first round in NFL history. And no running backs, safeties or off-ball linebackers were picked on Day 1. It's safe to say the, it's time for my favorite exercise every year: grading how all 32 teams fared with their picks, from Round 1 through Round 7.
GM Brandon Beane ended up trading down one more time, this time out of Round 1 completely. He finally filled his team's biggest need, taking at the top of Round 2. Coleman ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the combine, which dropped his stock a little bit, but at 6-foot-3, he can go up and snag contested catches with the best of them. The next step is to be more consistent on every route. He's going to get a lot of targets in an offense that needs quality pass-catchers on the outside.
The Raiders didn't get their quarterback of the future in this class, but they also didn't panic and mortgage their future to reach for one who didn't have a first-round grade. Bowers' career will be fun to watch and Powers-Johnson should be a longtime starter., they have big holes to plug. Plus, they came into this draft with six picks, tied for the second-fewest in the league.
The Saints didn't have third- or fourth-round selections, but their fifth-rounder was one of the most interesting picks on Day 3. There's a scenario in whichat No. 12 and Rattler at No. 150), the longest span between QBs being selected in the common draft era . I listed, but I don't see much wrong with its haul this time. GM Mickey Loomis did a fine job this weekend.The Giants were on the clock at No.
Not bad. The Cowboys were able to trade down five spots in Round 1, pick up an extra third-rounder and still get their guy. is going to get a chance to be their starter at left tackle, and from what I see on tape, I think he can make the move over from the right side. He has special ability as a pass protector and can get to the second level in a hurry in the run game. have the talent to step in and play significant snaps as rookies.
And I was wrong. Coach Sean Payton & Co. saw the run on quarterbacks -- five in the top 10 -- and stood pat, selectingabout the move on Thursday, but to sum it up: That's why too high for Nix, who put up massive numbers at Oregon but played in an offense in which he wasn't asked to go through read progressions. There's a ton of risk here.
