Day 2 wrap

April 26, 2024

It is on to the final day of the 2024 draft … The second and third rounds of the 2024 draft came to a close last evening when Washington, with a pick acquired from San Francisco selected former Rice WR Luke McCaffrey with the 100th and final pick of the third round. However, as usual there wasn’t much rest for NFL personnel people as teams were burning the midnight oil again last night re-stacking their boards and setting priorities prior to the start of the fourth round, which gets underway at Noon ET this afternoon with Carolina on the clock with 101st pick.  The busiest teams of the third day, though, look to be Buffalo and Philadelphia which have a league high 8 later round selections each, while Green Bay has 7. At the same time, 10 teams including the LA Rams, LA Chargers, NY Jets, New Orleans, San Francisco, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Denver, Jacksonville, and Tennessee have 6 remaining picks apiece. At the other end of the spectrum, Chicago which did clean up in the opening round with the selection of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze has just one lonely third day pick. Here is the updated selection order for the 2024 draft, as well as the current picks by team file.

And there are still some very good players still on the board heading into the 3rd day of the draft including WR Troy Franklin, TE Ja’Tavion Sander, S Jaden Hicks, CBs TJ Tampa and Kris Abrams-Draine, RB Jaylen Wright, DEs Brandon Dorlus and Mo Kamara, DT Mehki Wingo, and LBs Jeremiah Trotter and Cedric Gray.
