Packers select OT Jordan Morgan 25th overall

With the 25th overall pick, the green Bay Packers select offensive tackle Jordan Morgan out of Arizona. Morgan’s size (6-foot-5, 311 pounds, 32 7/8-inch arms) may make him a guard in the eyes of some teams, but he’s athletic and versatile with the potential to overcome any limitations to play tackle in the NFL, and to do it well.
Lions select CB Terrion Arnold 24th overall

With the 24th pick, the Detroit Lions select cornerback Terrion Arnold out of Alabama.
Jaguars select WR Brian Thomas Jr. 23rd overall

With the 22nd pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select cornerback Quinyon Mitchell out of Toledo.
Dolphins select DE Demeioun "Chop" Robinson 21st overall
USA Today SportsDemeioun “Chop” Robinson (USA Today)
With the 21st overall pick, the Miami Dolphins select defensive end Demeioun “Chop” Robinson out of Penn State. Robinson has elite athleticism and explosiveness off the edge, giving him both a high floor and a high ceiling. If he can refine his game even more, he could be an All-Pro-caliber pass-rusher some day.
Steelers select OT Troy Fautanu 20th overall
Steph Chambers/Getty ImagesTroy Fautanu (Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
With the 20th overall pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers select offensive tackle Troy Fautanu out of Washington. A new era is dawning in Pittsburgh along the offensive line. Fautanu has the potential to start from day 1.
Rams select DE Jared Verse 19th overall

With the 19th overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams select Florida State edge rusher Jared Verse. Verse becomes the first Rams first-round pick since quarterback Jared Goff in 2016.
Bengals select OT Amarius Mims 18th overall
Todd Kirkland/Getty ImagesAmarius Mims (Todd Kirkland/Getty Images)
With the 18th overall pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select offensive tackle Amarius Mims out of Georgia. Mims is a mountain of a man at 6-foot-8 and 340 pounds with 36-inch arms, so he has “starting left tackle” written all over him.
Analysis: The Bengals are seemingly always investing in offensive line help, but Mims will at least be affordable on his rookie deal. They absolutely have to protect Joe Burrow, who has dealt with multiple serious injuries in recent years. Mims is a wise investment.
Vikings select DE Dallas Turner 17th overall
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesDallas Turner (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
With the 17th overall pick, the Minnesota Vikings select edge rusher Dallas Turner out of Alabama. Most of the discussion around this draft class has centered on offensive players, and for good reason. But don’t sleep on Turner. He has All-Pro upside as an explosive pass-rusher off the edge.
Analysis: Many believed Turner would be the first defensive player off the board. This is a potential steal for the Vikings, who used their first pick on quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Potential impact players on each side of the ball.
Trade! Vikings move up to 17

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) April 26, 2024Seahawks select DT Byron Murphy II 16th overall
Tim Warner/Getty ImagesByron Murphy II (Tim Warner/Getty Images)
With the 16th overall pick, the Seattle Seahawks select defensive tackle Byron Murphy II out of Texas. Murphy becomes the second defensive player off the board, and second in a row. Is there a run on defensive players coming?
Analysis: The Seahawks are set in their secondary, and they do have Leonard Williams, but here they opt to bolster their front-seven. It’s been a while since they had a player of Murphy’s caliber on the defensive interior. He should step right in and start.
Colts select EDGE Laiatu Latu 15th overall
Norm Hall/Getty ImagesLaiatu Latu (Norm Hall/Getty Images)
With the 15th pick, the Indianapolis Colts select defensive end/outside linebacker Laiatu Latu out of UCLA. Finally, a defensive player comes off the board, and probably not the one most people were expecting.
Analysis: The Colts have major pieces in place on offense, so they opt to add a potential stud on defense. Latu is a smart player with the skill set to succeed right away in the NFL, so we’re expecting him to make an immediate impact in Indy.
Saints select OT Taliese Fuaga 14th overall
Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY SportsTaliese Fuaga (Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports)
With the 14th overall pick, the New Orleans Saints select offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga out of Oregon State. Fuaga stands at 6-foot-6 and is generally described as a good athlete with plus pass protection techniques. He has a chance to be a day 1 starter at left tackle.
Analysis: The Saints are getting older along the offensive line, so Fuaga gives them a chance to refresh and reset for the next era. He should at least be a year-1 starter for them at some point, if not day 1.
Raiders select TE Brock Bowers 13th overall
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesBrock Bowers (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
With the 13th overall pick, the Las Vegas Raiders select tight end Brock Bowers out of Georgia. Long expected to be the first tight end off the board, Bowers’ pure receiving talent is off-the-charts, even as a prospect with less-than-ideal size for the position (6-foot-3, 243 pounds). But Bowers is likely to overcome those limitations and produce at a high level in the NFL.
Analysis: The Raiders already had a tight end in Michael Mayer, but Bowers is a more dynamic pass-catcher. They could have themselves one of the best TE duos in the league with these two. The big question is who will be throwing them the ball.
Broncos select QB Bo Nix 12th overall
Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesBo Nix (Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
With the 12th overall pick, the Denver Broncos select quarterback Bo Nix out of Oregon. Nix was often mentioned as part of the clear top-6 quarterback prospects in the 2024 class, and earns high marks for his toughness and football acumen. He’s just not as physically impressive as other prospects that were selected higher. Some may view this pick as a reach, but with enough help around him, Nix could surprise some people.
Analysis: The Broncos are putting a lot of faith in a quarterback that lacks the athleticism of the elite guys in the NFL. They will need to surround Nix with more talent to put him in a better position to succeed. But there’s no doubting his intangibles, which are important at that position.
Jets select OT Olu Fashanu 11th overall
Scott Taetsch/Getty ImagesOlumuyiwa Fashanu (Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)
With the 11th overall pick, the New York Jets select offensive tackle Olumuyiwa Fashanu out of Penn State. Fashanu has prototypical tackle size and length at 6-foot-6, 312 pounds, and 34-inch arms. He was also a team captain at Penn State. He projects as a legitimate starting left tackle in the NFL.
Analysis: A new blindside protector for Aaron Rodgers in New York. The Jets were not in the market for a quarterback, so they allowed the Vikings to move up over them and slide down one pick, reshaping their draft board. And Fashanu should be able to start for them right away.
Vikings select QB J.J. McCarthy 10th overall
Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesJ.J. McCarthy (Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
With the 10th overall pick, the Minnesota Vikings select quarterback J.J. McCarthy out of Michigan. The reigning national champion QB checks important boxes in terms of intangibles and leadership, and has above-average size and arm talent. He’s just not a home-run swing at the position, and a guy who probably needs high-end talent and structure around him to win a lot of games at the highest level.
Analysis: McCarthy couldn’t have ended up in a better situation. The Vikings have two high-end receivers in superstar Justin Jefferson and rising sophomore Jordan Addison, and a good starting left tackle in Christian Darrisaw. The team may still need to be patient with him and let him develop for a bit, but if McCarthy starts right away, he’ll have plenty of support.
Trade! Vikings move up to 10th overall
According to multiple reports, the Minnesota Vikings have moved up from the 11th overall pick to No. 10. The New York Jets now hold the 11th pick.

— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 26, 2024Bears select WR Rome Odunze ninth overall
Steph Chambers/Getty ImagesRome Odunze (Steph Chambers/Getty Images)
With the ninth overall pick, the Chicago Bears select wide receiver Rome Odunze out of Washington. Odunze has excellent size at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, and is capable of making highlight-reel catches with his hands and body control. He should make a ton of explosive plays at the NFL level, with the upside of an elite No. 1 receiver.
Analysis: Odunze has a chance to step in and be Caleb Williams’ No. 1 receiver in Chicago – and that’s with Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore already in town. The Bears are loading up around their new young franchise QB.
Falcons select QB Michael Penix Jr. eighth overall
Carmen Mandato/Getty ImagesMichael Penix Jr.(Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)
With the eighth overall pick, the Atlanta Falcons select quarterback Michael Penix Jr. out of Washington. Penix is arguably the best pure passer in this draft class, with an incredibly live left arm that can make a variety of throws. His injury history is the big question mark with him, but if he can stay healthy, he has franchise QB potential.
Analysis: The first big surprise of the night. The Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins in free agency, albeit for only two years. They appear ready to be patient with Penix and develop him behind Cousins. People will second-guess this pick, but it’s a quarterback. If you believe in the guy, you take him.
Titans select OT JC Latham seventh overall
Gary Cosby Jr.-Tuscaloosa NewsJC Latham (Gary Cosby Jr.-Tuscaloosa News)
With the seventh overall pick, the Tennessee Titans select offensive tackle JC Latham out of Alabama. Latham is a monster at 6-foot-6 and 342 pounds, with excellent arm length at 35 1/8 inches. He has the potential to start from day 1 and play at a high level.
Analysis: The Titans didn’t have a clear answer at left tackle, as 2023 first-round pick Peter Skoronski projects to play guard. Latham has a chance to step right in and solve that problem. The real question for Tennessee is the guy that Latham is tasked to protect.
Giants select WR Malik Nabers sixth overall
Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesMalik Nabers (Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images)
The first Jayden Daniels teammate is off the board: with the sixth overall pick, the New York Giants select Malik Nabers out of LSU.
Nabers has all the tools to be an elite No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL: size, speed, route-running, jumping, and hands. He should be an immediate contributor with the upside of a real difference-maker at wideout.
Analysis: The Giants’ receiver group is not good. It remains to be seen if they try to make a move for a quarterback, but it’s clear now that they preferred Nabers over J.J. McCarthy or Michael Penix for the sixth pick. No matter who’s throwing him the ball, Nabers is a legitimate playmaker.
Chargers select OT Joe Alt fifth overall
Justin Casterline/Getty ImagesJoe Alt (Justin Casterline/Getty Images)
With the fifth overall pick, the Los Angeles Chargers select offensive tackle Joe Alt out of Notre Dame. Alt stands at 6-foot-9 with 34 1/4-inch arms, with the athleticism and technique to match. He should be a franchise left tackle for a long time.
Analysis: The Chargers are sticking with Justin Herbert for the long haul at quarterback, and now, they don’t have to worry about who will be protecting his blind side. Alt has the upside of a perennial All-Pro candidate, which will help Herbert immensely. Next step for the Chargers: add a wide receiver?
Cardinals select WR Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall
Carmen Mandato/Getty ImagesMarvin Harrison Jr. (Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)
With the fourth overall pick, the Arizona Cardinals select wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. out of Ohio State.
The son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr., Marvin Jr. is close to the total package at wide receiver. His hands, body control, and route-running are elite. The quality of the quarterback play in Arizona may play a role in how much he produces at the NFL level, but Harrison is a blue-chip talent.
Analysis: Kyler Murray has himself a new toy. The Cardinals are hoping to rekindle the potential Murray showed in his first three years in the NFL, and giving him an elite No. 1 wideout could help him get there.
Patriots select QB Drake Maye with third overall pick
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesDrake Maye (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
With the third overall pick, the New England Patriots select quarterback Drake Maye out of North Carolina.
Maye is built like a prototype, standing at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds, with above-average 9 1/8-inch hands. His arm talent is considered among the best in the draft and the caliber of a potential franchise quarterback, and he can move around in the pocket as well.
However, Maye is considered a boom-or-bust type of prospect. He’s still relatively young and raw, despite his physical talent. He will need good development at the NFL level to reach his full potential.
The Patrots are going to need to be careful about how and when they finally play him, because the disaster factor is lurking with a prospect like this. But if he reaches his ceiling, he can be an elite guy.
Commanders select QB Jayden Daniels second overall
Danny Wild-USA TODAY SportsJayden Daniels (Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports)
Just like Caleb Williams was long considered a virtual lock to go to the Bears at No. 1 overall, Jayden Daniels was long considered the clear favorite to go to the Commanders at No. 2. Now, it’s official.
Daniels comes into the NFL as immediately one of its best running quarterbacks, with the breakaway speed to consistently make big-time plays with his legs. But Daniels also has a good arm and acumen for the position, which are always important to pair with raw talent in order to be a franchise quarterback.
The big concern with Daniels is his relatively thin frame (6-foot-4, 210 pounds). His running will make him an easy target for open-field hits and tackles, and could get him hurt if he doesn’t work to preserve himself.
As long as Daniels stays on the field, he has elite potential.
Bears select QB Caleb Williams first overall
Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesCaleb Williams (Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images)
The Chicago Bears have done what everyone knew they were going to do all along: they’ve officially selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.
Williams’ calling card is his combination of arm talent and mobility, and how he often uses both in tandem. His ability to make pro-level throws, and often do it on the run or off-script, has drawn comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. He will almost certainly make a lot of explosive plays in the NFL.
The Bears have practically been cursed at this position for a long time. Can Williams finally turn them around? His talent is undeniable, but talent is only part of the equation at quarterback.
It remains to be seen how it all comes together for Williams. Can he make good decisions, lead his team well, and play winning football on top of making “wow” plays with his athleticism? Because wins and losses are the name of the game in the NFL.
