2024 NFL Mock Draft - Round 2 and 3 Final Predictions

36. Minnesota Vikings (from Washington) - Kool-Aid McKinstry - CB, Alabama

After suffering a Jones fracture in his foot during the season, McKinstry surprisingly falls out of Round 1. He was outplayed by fellow CB Terrion Arnold last season, but there's still plenty of potential there.

37. Los Angeles Chargers - Mike Sainristil - CB, Michigan

If you haven't taken notice that new head coach Jim Harbaugh wants to build a physical brand of football in Los Angeles, you haven't been paying attention. Sainristil isn't the bigger corner (slightly under 5-foot-10), but he's a gritty player who makes plays and is always around the ball. Sainristil was the leader of Michigan's defense in their national championship season and if he were six feet tall, he'd probably be a top-20 pick in this draft.

38. Tennessee Titans - Edgerrin Cooper - LB, Texas A&M

GM Ran Carthon has pushed the Titans chips into the middle of the table this offseason, leveraging the financial wiggle room that QB Will Levis’ rookie contract offers to beef up the roster elsewhere. It’s a solid play, especially if Levis starts living up to his hype. Fresh off picking OT Joe Alt in Round 1 -- a move that shores up their offensive line -- the Titans dive into the defensive pool, snagging the first safety off the board. They’re rolling the dice on Cooper, a budding talent in the linebacker spot who’s got a knack for hunting down quarterbacks. And with the recent trade acquisition of CB L'Jarius Sneed, it's obvious: Tennessee is itching to revive its reputation for rock-solid defense.

39. Carolina Panthers (from NY Giants) - Darius Robinson - DE/DT, Missouri

Robinson, a Detroit native has been invited to the NFL Draft green room. Some scouts have questions about where fits on defense: whether as a defensive tackle or base end, but there's no denying this guy's incredible motor and versatility up front.

40. Washington Commanders (from Chicago) - Ennis Rakestraw Jr. - CB, Missouri

Washington snagged this pick when it dealt edge-rusher Montez Sweat right before last year's trade deadline. The Commanders are looking at a roster with gaps wider than the Grand Canyon, so it’s time to stack up on solid talent. Enter Rakestraw, the kind of lengthy, physical cornerback that meshes perfectly with the defensive playbook of new head coach Dan Quinn. His style could sharpen up Washington's defensive edge.

41. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Green Bay through NYJ) - Ladd McConkey - WR, Georgia

TRADE ALERT. Jaguars receive: 41. Packers receive: 48, 116, 236

The Jags need to continue to surround their QB Trevor Lawrence with plenty of talent and McConkey is certainly that. Injuries kept him off the field for a good bit during his college career, but there's no denying his ability to be a quarterback's best friend.

42. Houston Texans (from Minnesota) - Junior Colson - LB, Michigan

NFL Draft Picks No. 43-52 - Will There be Another QB off the Board?

43. Atlanta Falcons - Payton Wilson - LB, N.C. State

44. Tampa Bay (from Las Vegas) - Christian Haynes - OG, Connecticut

45. Chicago Bears (from New Orleans) - Marshawn Kneeland - DE, Western Michigan

46. Indianapolis Colts – Andru Phillips - CB, Kentucky

47. New York Giants (from SEA) – Kingsley Suamataia - OT, BYU

48. Green Bay Packers (from JAC) – Tyler Nubin - S, Minnesota

49. Cincinnati Bengals – Roman Wilson – WR, Michigan

50. Denver Broncos (from PHI) - Troy Franklin - WR, Oregon

51. Pittsburgh Steelers – Ricky Pearsall - WR, Florida

52. Los Angeles Rams – T.J. Tampa - CB, Iowa State

NFL Draft Picks No. 53-64 - Who Else Goes off the Board?

53. Philadelphia Eagles – Kiran Amegadjie - OT, Yale

54. Cleveland Browns - Jonah Elliss - Edge, Utah

55. Miami Dolphins – Malachi Corley - WR, Western Kentucky

56. Dallas Cowboys – Jonathon Brooks - RB, Texas

57. Tampa Bay Bucs – Adisa Isaac - Edge, Penn State

58. Green Bay Packers – Kris Jenkins - DT, Michigan

59. Houston Texans - Braden Fiske - DT, Florida State

60. Buffalo Bills - Jaden Hicks - S, Washington State

61. Detroit Lions – Ja'Lynn Polk - WR, Washington

62. Baltimore Ravens – Chris Braswell - Edge, Alabama

63. San Francisco 49ers – Max Melton – CB, Rutgers

64. Kansas City Chiefs – Brandon Dorlus - DT, Oregon
