That’s a wrap … The opening round of the 2024 draft came to a close just a few minutes ago when the Carolina Panthers, with a pick acquired from Kansas City thru Buffalo selected South Carolina WR Xavier Legette with the 32nd and final pick of the night. However, there won’t be much rest for NFL personnel people as teams will be burning the midnight oil re-stacking their boards and resetting priorities prior to the start of the second round, which gets underway at 7 PM ET Friday evening with Buffalo on the clock with the 33nd pick overall. However, while the Bills have the first pick in the second round, the busiest team on the second night, at least barring further trades, looks to be Washington which has 5 picks thru the 2nd and 3rd rounds, while Arizona and Green Bay have four each over the course of Friday evening. At the same time, Houston and Cleveland will make their first appearance of the 2024 draft on Friday, while Minnesota will sit out the second day after trading up twice in the first round. Here is the updated selection order for the 2024 draft, as well as the current picks by team file.
And there are still a lot of really talented prospects on the board including RBs Jonathan Brooks, Trey Benson, Blake Corum and Jaylen Wright; WRs Adonai Mitchell, Troy Franklin, Ladd McConkey, Keon Coleman, and Malachi Corley; TE Ja’Tavion Sanders; OTs Patrick Paul, and Kingsley Saumataia; Cs Jackson Powers-Johnson and Zach Frazier; DE Marshawn Kneeland; DTs Johnny Newton, Braden Fiske and Maason Smith; LB Edgerrin Cooper; CBs Cooper DeJean, Ennis Rakestraw, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Max Melton, Mike Sainristil.
