Round 2 - 2024 NFL Mock Draft

33. Denver Broncos (from CAR) - Bo Nix - QB, Oregon

Alright, Broncos Country, the spotlight's on you now. After a couple of slick trade-backs, Denver's scooped up picks 29, 50, 73, and 171, shipping off picks 12 and 207 in the process. That’s a pretty sweet deal, right? Now, with the QB position more up in the air than a Hail Mary pass, it's got me wondering if Bo Nix might just catch head coach Sean Payton's eye. Nix isn’t just any signal-caller; he’s a record-setter for the most starts in college football, and he’s a maestro in the short passing game—a Sean Payton signature from his Saints days. Nix's draft buzz is a mixed bag, but let’s not overlook this: he’s a stand-up guy with a cannon for an arm that’s better than many think. Honestly, for Denver, playing the long game with these trade-backs to recoup some of the picks they've lost and still get their guy.

34. New England Patriots - Keon Coleman - WR, Florida State

After landing QB Drake Maye in the fold, New England continues its offensive onslaught and grabs a true type of X wide receiver in Coleman here. This spot could be a tad high for him depending on what scouts you talk to, but this team needs a pass catcher and continued help on offense badly. There are questions about Coleman's ability to separate, but this guy is a walking highlight reel.

35. Arizona Cardinals - Zach Frazier - C, West Virginia

GM Monti Ossenfort is steering the Cardinals with a clear vision -- long-term success with a crew of high-character gridiron lovers. Some might balk at snagging Frazier this high, but let’s face it, the Cards are desperate for some muscle in the trenches. Round 1 saw them hand Kyler Murray a sparkling new weapon in Harrison Jr., and now adding Frazier into the mix? That's a recipe to keep their QB grinning from ear to ear.

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

The Texans have two second-rounders in this draft after trading with Minnesota, but they gave up the 2025 second they received from Minnesota and shipped it to Buffalo for WR Stefon Diggs. I don't think there are many questions about the potency of the Texans' mighty offense, but shoring up an impressive and emerging player like Colson for DeMeco Ryans' defense makes too much sense here.
