The Bengals' run defense was a sore spot last season, allowing 126.8 yards per game on the ground. Stout and forceful, the 6-3, 300-pound Jenkins can help the Bengals better control the line of scrimmage. The first safety off the board, he can comfortably rally to the ball in both pass coverage and against the run. To prevent Drake Maye from sliding back to his worst hero-ball tendencies, New England had to secure a receiver to boost a lackluster group.
Las Vegas Raiders (from Kansas City Chiefs): Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire, Grade: B
Green Bay opts for another offensive linemen in this class and Glover provides experience at guard and tackle. He likely lacks the athleticism to stick at tackle but has the power and frame to hold up if need be. Wilson's imposing size (6-6, 231 pounds) makes him a winner on 50/50 balls and a wide receiver archetype the Eagles don't currently have on the roster.
Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Wiley, TE, TCU, Grade: A-
He took a one-year hiatus to junior college in 2020 before returning to Ole Miss. He was a reliable player for the Rebels with okay ball production. He's best in press coverage and his athleticism and toughness will keep him on an NFL roster regardless of how quickly he develops. Still was a consistent producer in college with 28 passes defensed and six interceptions in 39 career games. He started all but two games in Maryland and looks like he enjoys press coverage on tape. He's not an overwhelming athlete and lacks size but has the instincts to hold up and help a Chargers defense in transition.

But he does have strong hands and enough twitch to make a difference over time. Atlanta's running back room is getting more crowded with the addition of the Crimson Tide's top rusher in 2023. McClellan is a big back who runs hard and accelerates quickly to the hole. But he lacks top-end speed and with multiple more productive running backs on the roster already, this feels like a reach. Of course, there’s also a pool and deck chairs, which will probably get some use when the Rams have to wait nearly 60 picks from No. 99 to 154. And because Los Angeles is equipped with a first-rounder, there won’t be much time to relax on Thursday night like there was in years past.
Seven-round 2024 NFL mock draft: Vikings select kicker Cam Little early in Round 4
He is an elite athlete at his size and put on a show at the scouting combine. Despite being one of the oldest prospects in the class at running back (23), he has just 273 career touches in college. Jackson's one of the tallest cornerbacks in the class and uses that size and competitive streak to stay in position.
He's struggled against bigger blockers before but could work in as a rotational piece for the Bills, making for great value in the end of Round 5. Jackson's relentless motor mirrors that of the Rams' top pick this year, Jared Verse. That effort helped him get 20 career sacks over 44 games with the Cougars. He can get thrown off his base and lacks bend at the position but can become a rotational edge rusher as the Rams replenish the defensive line.

Maybe, considering his lack of separation and unreliable route running, but he's a player worth developing. Monk started 58 career games across three positions at Duke (center, right guard, and right tackle). He's not an elite athlete but has great technique and foot quickness. His strength is lacking considering his size but he goes to a team that typically gets the most out of late-round offensive linemen. Nourzad started at right tackle, left guard, and right guard before moving to center in his final season at Penn State.
The Raiders added arguably the most interesting player in the 2024 NFL Draft
The Bengals continue to boost the pass-catching group with McLachlan and Erick All on Day 3. With All, Drew Sample, and Mike Gesicki already on the roster, this is a puzzling choice. But McLachlan offers good ball skills at the catch point and enough athleticism to develop in the NFL. He will need to improve as a blocker to make this a worthwhile selection. Milton likely has the strongest arm in this top-heavy quarterback class. The former Volunteer started one season for Tennessee and has arguably the best physical tools in this quarterback class.

His height and arm length, along with his power, make him a worthwhile project in the NFL. He needs to develop against the running game as Jacksonville lines him up with fellow edge rushers Travon Walker and Josh Allen. Laulu offers the athleticism Indianapolis loves from its prospects. At 6-5 and 292 pounds, Laulu posted a 4.96-second 40-yard dash at the combine.
But there's little need for a running back with limited special teams value as a rookie at this spot considering the board. Another round, another wide receiver with the last name Washington for Miami on Day 3 of the draft. His small frame (174 pounds) at 5-foot-9 likely took him out of consideration for many teams. He projects best as a slot starter but the Dolphins just took a slot wideout in Round 6. This is a good value pick but at a position that's already solidified.
If he finds a role, this could be a steal for the Titans in Round 7. Lee's lack of power and smaller frame means he could struggle against NFL-caliber athletes. His technique is good enough to keep up as a backup on the interior, especially with his elite pass protection. Cincinnati won't need him to start anytime soon but could provide valuable depth. Denver gets another field-stretching wide receiver in Vele at No. 235 overall. At 6-foot-4, Vele's height and wingspan give him a standout catch radius despite average jumps.
He'll need to improve his separation and route running overall to make it with the Rams in a long-term role. Washington's a speedy deep threat with ideal athleticism at prototypical size. His route running leaves a lot to be desired and, for such top athlete, he struggled with separation at the college level.
Nacua's experience of touring the perfect Draft headquarters was captured and produced into a short teaser video that was released yesterday on the Rams' official channels. The Los Angeles Rams have the 19th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night. If they hold onto the pick it will be the first time the franchise has made a first round selection since they took Jared Goff No. 1 in 2016. It will also be the first time that the team has picked in the first round since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017 so you can understand why the team is kind of excited.
