We're now days away from the 2024 NFL draft, as 13 prospects have accepted invitations to attend Round 1 in Detroit on April 25. We have a pretty good idea who the Bears are taking at No. 1, but the top picks could get wild after that, including potential trades up the board for quarterbacks.
We asked NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates to predict every pick from Days 1 and 2 of the draft, going through all 100 picks through the end of Round 3. They took turns making selections, alternating from Kiper's pick at No. 1 until Yates' pick at No. 100. Kiper has the odd numbers; Yates has the evens. They even cooked up a few projected trades.
One important note for this mock: Kiper and Yates based their picks on a combination of what they think each team will do and what they would do if they were playing general manager for all 32 teams. They used their personal rankings -- here are Kiper's, and here are Yates' -- to guide them, along with the latest they're hearing from talking to sources around the league.
Time to dig into our new mock draft, featuring a top-five trade. And check out the "SportsCenter Special: Mel & Field's Three-Round Mock Draft" to see Kiper and Yates talk through their selections.

ROUND 1
1. Chicago Bears (via CAR)
Kiper's pick: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
This is a no-brainer pick. Williams is the best quarterback in this class, and the Bears need a franchise passer to build around.
2. Washington Commanders
Yates' pick: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
The Commanders can land their quarterback of the present and future here with Daniels, the most dynamic dual-threat signal-caller the draft has seen in a while. Daniels' calm demeanor in LSU's biggest moments last season gives me confidence he will make a smoother transition to the NFL than most rookie passers.
3. New England Patriots
Kiper's pick: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
I don't see the Patriots trading back, even if they have needs at several other positions. Taking Maye secures their future at the NFL's most important position.
4. Arizona Cardinals
Yates' pick: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
While a trade down to stockpile picks was tempting, I ultimately wanted an immediate difference-maker at wide receiver here, and I gave the Cards the most pro-ready prospect in the class. Harrison fills Arizona's biggest need, and his consistency is too good to ignore. He led the FBS with 28 receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons.
Projected trade: Vikings jump up for QB4
Kiper: Because I have the odd-numbered picks in this three-round draft, I ended up with everything I needed to make this deal happen myself. So, here's what it would look like:
Vikings get: No. 5
Chargers get: Nos. 11 and 23 plus a first-round pick in 2025
The Vikings are going to have to move up if they want to guarantee getting the fourth quarterback off the board. The Chargers can pick up valuable capital in their mini-rebuild -- maybe more like a remodeling job -- under Jim Harbaugh.
5. Minnesota Vikings (via mock trade with LAC)
Kiper's pick: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
Did you expect a different quarterback here? Giving up that 2025 pick is going to hurt for Minnesota, but it would be worth it if the organization feels McCarthy can be the guy. There's some risk involved -- McCarthy was never asked to carry the load with his arm in college -- but his physical tools are appealing.
6. New York Giants
Yates' pick: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
A trade up was contemplated, but a prohibitive price made such a move less appealing, and Nabers' explosive traits would be such a welcome addition to the Giants' offense. His ability to stress defenses both vertically and after the catch makes him one of the best players in the class.
Check out the highlights that make Malik Nabers one of the best wide receivers in the 2024 NFL draft class.
7. Tennessee Titans
Kiper's pick: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Sure, an offensive lineman in back-to-back drafts might be boring for Titans fans, but did you watch Tennessee's line last season? Alt is my top-ranked tackle, and he could step in on the left side on Day 1.
8. Atlanta Falcons
Yates' pick: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
It's no surprise Atlanta will attack the edge position in the draft, and Turner is a sudden, bendy rusher who had a terrific finish to his college career by winning SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.
9. Chicago Bears
Kiper's pick: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
I love this fit with Williams, though I thought about an offensive lineman or edge rusher too. Odunze could be a star. This is how Chicago can set up Williams to succeed as a rookie.
10. New York Jets
Yates' pick: Troy Fautanu, OT/G, Washington
I thought about Georgia tight end Brock Bowers here after the Jets added Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses in free agency, but I wound up landing on Fautanu because of his versatility to potentially play four different spots along the offensive line.
11. Los Angeles Chargers (via mock trade with MIN)
Kiper's pick: JC Latham, OT, Alabama
Latham is a difference-maker in the run game, and he can move his feet with edge rushers in the pass game. He would slot in as the right tackle, where he started 27 games in college.
12. Denver Broncos
Yates' pick: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
To take a quarterback or not? That's a dilemma I'm sure Denver is weighing heavily. Ultimately, it felt a little too soon for me, and Bowers is a special prospect. He would instantly upgrade the entire passing game, no matter who is throwing the ball.
13. Las Vegas Raiders
Kiper's pick: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
That Bowers pick threw me off a bit, Field, and I have to leap at the chance to get my top-ranked cornerback. Mitchell has been off the charts during the pre-draft process, crushing the Senior Bowl and combine.
14. New Orleans Saints
Yates' pick: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
New Orleans' offensive tackle situation is too murky to ignore, and Fashanu would be an ideal combination of need and value. The Saints can slot him in on either the right or left side, depending on Ryan Ramczyk's status and what they decide to do with Trevor Penning.
15. Indianapolis Colts
Kiper's pick: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
Cornerback is the Colts' biggest need, so this is a good combo of need and best prospect available. This might be a spot to watch if Bowers falls, though.
16. Seattle Seahawks
Yates' pick: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
Seattle needs to hammer the interior of the defensive line at some point early in the draft, and Murphy is the best defensive tackle in the class. He is explosive as a pass-rusher and he plays with power, torque and leverage in the running game.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars
Kiper's pick: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
There's a wide range on where Thomas could go off the board -- he might even fall to the end of Round 1 -- but he would be a great fit as a Calvin Ridley replacement in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence's completion rate on go balls would rise.
18. Cincinnati Bengals
Yates' pick: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
This feels like a dream scenario for Cincinnati, which can continue to invest along the offensive line even after inking Trent Brown to a one-year deal. Fuaga epitomizes toughness on the field but also has nifty feet and agility to hold up as a pass-protector against speedy edge rushers.
19. Los Angeles Rams
Kiper's pick: Laiatu Latu, OLB, UCLA
Good pick, Field: Fuaga is my guy. For the Rams, especially with Murphy off the board, edge rusher is the way to go, and Latu is the most complete one in this class. L.A. hasn't had a first-round pick since 2016, so it wouldn't be surprising if Les Snead & Co. traded down here.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
Yates' pick: Graham Barton, C/G, Duke
The Steelers still have a center need, and Barton is the best in the entire class. He played center as a true freshman for the Blue Devils before moving to left tackle for his final three seasons. His footwork, mobility and tenacity all stand out.
21. Miami Dolphins
Kiper's pick: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State
I would have gone with Barton if he were available, but Verse is a stellar backup plan for Miami. He is a balanced pass-rusher who can set the edge in the run game.
22. Philadelphia Eagles
Yates' pick: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
Lane Johnson will be turning 34, so Philly might be motivated to add depth at the position -- something it did in advance of Jason Kelce's retirement, too. Mims has just 803 career snaps under his belt but exhibits all-world physical tools, and learning from legendary line coach Jeff Stoutland would be great for him.
23. Los Angeles Chargers (via mock trade with MIN through CLE/HOU)
Kiper's pick: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
Just check out the Chargers' depth chart and tell me they don't need a wide receiver. Worthy is not only extremely fast, but he's also a well-rounded pass-catcher who can beat cornerbacks on any kind of route.
24. Dallas Cowboys
Yates' pick: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
The Cowboys are staring at a left tackle hole and could move Tyler Smith there. But my sense is they'd be more likely to address that spot in the draft and keep Smith at left guard. Guyton's elite footwork suggests he can make a smooth transition to the left side in the pros.
25. Green Bay Packers
Kiper's pick: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Edge rusher, offensive tackle or cornerback? I like the value with DeJean, who is No. 21 overall on my Big Board. Some teams see him as a safety, but I think he can be a No. 1 corner.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Yates' pick: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Tampa Bay has primary needs at edge rusher and on the interior offensive line. Robinson had modest college production (4.0 sacks in 2023), but his first-step quickness and effort level are undeniable. He'll be a more productive pro than college player.
27. Arizona Cardinals (via HOU)
Kiper's pick: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Arizona would be thrilled to land a starting corner this late in Round 1. Wiggins has length, outstanding speed and smooth hips in coverage.
28. Buffalo Bills
Yates' pick: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
I've got Buffalo earmarked as a team that could trade up. But in this scenario, the Bills can stick at No. 28 and still land the speedy Mitchell -- who ran a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the combine and had just one drop in 2023.
29. Detroit Lions
Kiper's pick: Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri
Robinson was unblockable at Senior Bowl practices in early February. He is a bit of a tweener, and he might be better as a 3-technique tackle. He could play some snaps at end in Detroit.
30. Baltimore Ravens
Yates' pick: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
The Ravens will undoubtedly be exploring cornerback, edge rusher and offensive tackle throughout the draft, and they can cross off one need with the smooth-moving McKinstry. He is excellent in man coverage.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Kiper's pick: Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
San Francisco needs to add competition for its right tackle spot. Morgan is a veteran left tackle who could make the switch to battle Colton McKivitz.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
Yates' pick: Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
Though he had just one year of legitimate college production (71 catches in 2023 after 42 receptions from 2019 to 2022 combined), Legette has the size, power and explosiveness to provide major upside to the Chiefs' offense.
ROUND 2
Projected trade: Rams kick off Round 2 with a move
Kiper: I think we should engineer a trade here, Field, because it's about time the fifth quarterback gets picked. What do you think of this?
Rams get: No. 33
Panthers get: Nos. 52 and 83 plus a third-round pick in 2025
Yates: That aligns with the trade value charts, Mel, and Carolina would now have four picks on Day 2 to improve its roster. Let's do it.
33. Los Angeles Rams (via mock trade with CAR)
Kiper's pick: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
Matthew Stafford turned 36 earlier this year, and he has dealt with injuries the past two seasons. The Rams could target a passer to start in 2025.
34. New England Patriots
Yates' pick: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
The Patriots need to support Drake Maye after taking him in Round 1, and Coleman's on-field quickness is better than his timed speed (4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the combine). He can be a top-notch red zone target.
Check out some of the plays that made Florida State WR Keon Coleman a highly touted NFL draft prospect.
35. Arizona Cardinals
Kiper's pick: Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington
Rosengarten is one of my favorite prospects in the entire class. He's so consistent. He played right tackle opposite Troy Fautanu the past two seasons. Rosengarten could even move inside to guard for a year with the Cardinals.
36. Washington Commanders
Yates' pick: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri
Rakestraw is tough and physical, and he plays faster than his 4.51 time in the 40 suggests. He would bring an immediate edge to the new-look Commanders' defense.
37. Los Angeles Chargers
Kiper's pick: T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State
Tampa is a savvy defensive back who plays with great technique. This means the Chargers can find starters at right tackle, wide receiver and cornerback with their first three picks.
Projected trade: Giants see an opportunity
Yates: All right, Mel, my turn to propose a deal. One of the top six QBs is falling here, and the Giants might have to get ahead of other teams to get him. Here's what I have:
Giants get: Nos. 38 and 146
Titans get: Nos. 47 and 70
Kiper: Yeah, Daniel Jones had a tough season, and now he is recovering from a serious knee injury. I think this makes a lot of sense.
38. New York Giants (via mock trade with TEN)
Yates' pick: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
Nix's accuracy and processing speed should translate well to the NFL, and he would give New York yet another option under center.
39. Carolina Panthers (via NYG)
Kiper's pick: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
I thought about cornerback and edge rusher, but this might be a great spot to add a talented wideout to one of the worst receiving corps in the league. McConkey just knows how to get open.
40. Washington Commanders (via CHI)
Yates' pick: Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
Great pick, Mel. You know I love McConkey's game. The Commanders, meanwhile, would need to protect Jayden Daniels, and Suamataia has the chance to become a really talented pro with a bit of time. His power and explosiveness are obvious on film.
41. Green Bay Packers (via NYJ)
Kiper's pick: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston
Paul, my No. 9-ranked tackle, might be a first-rounder in most other drafts. After going cornerback in Round 1, a David Bakhtiari replacement falls into the Packers' laps.
42. Houston Texans (via MIN)
Yates' pick: Maason Smith, DT, LSU
The Texans must continue to bulk up on the inside. Smith is an upside swing for Houston; he has the raw tools to become a disruptor as both a pass-rusher and a run-defender.
43. Atlanta Falcons
Kiper's pick: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
The Falcons need to use one of their three Day 2 picks on a wideout, preferably one with the flexibility to play in the slot. Corley had 29 touchdown catches over the past three seasons.
44. Las Vegas Raiders
Yates' pick: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C/G, Oregon
The Raiders must continue to chip away along the offensive line, and Powers-Johnson has the flexibility to play at guard or center. He's a massive, powerful dude.
45. New Orleans Saints (via DEN)
Kiper's pick: Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida
Pearsall, who played with Jayden Daniels at Arizona State before transferring to Florida in 2022, really impressed me at the combine. New Orleans parted ways with Michael Thomas, and it needs competition in the wideout room.
46. Indianapolis Colts
Yates' pick: Ja'Lynn Polk, WR, Washington
A favorite prospect of mine, Polk is tough, shows excellent body control and has Vise-Grip-like hands. The Colts can continue to support quarterback Anthony Richardson with another playmaker.
47. Tennessee Titans (via mock trade with NYG through SEA)
Kiper's pick: Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn State
Isaac's production (7.5 sacks last season) and tape are comparable to that of former teammate Chop Robinson. Isaac is a really good player. Tennessee ranked 31st in the league in sacks per dropback last season at 11.1%.
48. Jacksonville Jaguars
Yates' pick: Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE, Western Michigan
While Jacksonville signed Josh Allen to a deserved long-term deal and Travon Walker broke out last season, the team must continue to hammer the edge depth. I think Kneeland's blend of raw power and quickness would be very appealing to general manager Trent Baalke.
49. Cincinnati Bengals
Kiper's pick: Jer'Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois
I'm a little lower on Newton than a few NFL teams that think he will go in Round 1. But this feels like a solid fit and value for the Bengals, whose front seven had a tough 2023.
50. Philadelphia Eagles (via NO)
Yates' pick: Max Melton, CB, Rutgers
The Eagles need to get faster on defense and add cornerback depth, both of which Melton would assist with in a major way. He's a four-year starter with excellent ball skills.
51. Pittsburgh Steelers
Kiper's pick: Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
I went with this match in my two-round mock too. McMillan could help fill the void of Diontae Johnson -- who was traded to the Panthers -- in making plays out of the slot.
52. Carolina Panthers (via mock trade with LAR)
Yates' pick: Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan
Sainristil would be an excellent nickel for Carolina. He has a penchant for forcing turnovers -- he had six picks in 2023 -- and is standout tackler.
53. Philadelphia Eagles
Kiper's pick: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
Cooper might have been a first-round pick if he were drafted 10 years earlier. Teams just don't value off-ball linebackers these days, but he is my top-ranked player at the position. The Philly defense fell apart last season, and it has to get younger.
54. Cleveland Browns
Yates' pick: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
The Browns traded for Jerry Jeudy this offseason, but they still feel one wide receiver short on offense, especially since Amari Cooper is entering the final year of his deal. Franklin is a speedy big play waiting to happen.
55. Miami Dolphins
Kiper's pick: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State
I went edge rusher for the Dolphins in Round 1, which means I have to fill their need at guard with this pick. Beebe, who played left guard the past two seasons, has the experience and tools to be an early starter.
56. Dallas Cowboys
Yates' pick: Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas
Jerry Jones is unafraid to be bold in the second round, and Dallas badly needs a running back. Brooks suffered a torn ACL in November, but he was trending toward top-40 status before that. He can ball, rushing for 1,139 yards last season.
57. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kiper's pick: Zach Frazier, C/G, West Virginia
Frazier has worked his way back from a broken leg suffered in November and could go even higher. He's my second-ranked guard. The Bucs have issues along the interior.
58. Green Bay Packers
Yates' pick: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State
The Packers have a need at inside linebacker, and Wilson's tape is tremendous. A lengthy injury history will have to check out for this pick to happen, but Wilson had 130 tackles last season.
59. Houston Texans
Kiper's pick: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
Lassiter doesn't have elite speed, but he's a really solid corner. The Texans ranked 29th in the league in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.7) last season.
60. Buffalo Bills
Yates' pick: Cole Bishop, S, Utah
The Bills have a few clear needs entering the draft, and after getting a wide receiver on Day 1 here, it's time to turn to safety. My No. 1-ranked player at the position, Bishop offers versatility, high-end man-coverage traits and speed.
61. Detroit Lions
Kiper's pick: Javon Bullard, S, Georgia
I recently picked Bullard, my top-ranked safety, in our big superteams draft. He can do it all. The Lions landed Brian Branch in Round 2 last year, and they could build an elite duo with these two.
Check out some of the top highlights from Georgia DB Javon Bullard.
62. Baltimore Ravens
Yates' pick: Isaiah Adams, G/OT, Illinois
Adams would provide Baltimore with positional versatility and dependability. The Ravens have to address multiple spots along the offensive line, and Adams would be a good start.
63. San Francisco 49ers
Kiper's pick: Dru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
This is about beefing up a secondary that struggled at times at the end of last season. Phillips has high-ceiling physical tools after playing nearly 600 coverage snaps over his past two seasons.
64. Kansas City Chiefs
Yates' pick: Braden Fiske, DT, Florida State
Kansas City spent big to retain Chris Jones, and Fiske would make the interior even better, as he is very disruptive and plays with explosiveness.
ROUND 3
65. Carolina Panthers
Kiper's pick: Chris Braswell, OLB, Alabama
Braswell is another instant contributor for the Panthers in this draft. He is an underrated pass-rusher after registering eight sacks last season. Carolina's pass rush struggled big time in 2023.
66. Arizona Cardinals
Yates' pick: Christian Haynes, G, UConn
Arizona can continue its busy and productive draft with the mobile and nasty Haynes, helping fortify the interior offensive line in front of Kyler Murray.
67. Washington Commanders
Kiper's pick: Roman Wilson, WR, Michigan
Washington should use one of its three third-rounders on a wideout who can help its new quarterback in 2023. Wilson, who ran a 4.39-second 40 at the combine, can make plays on screens and crossers.
68. New England Patriots
Yates' pick: Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
Yes, I already gave Keon Coleman to the Patriots in Round 2. But I'm double-dipping at wide receiver -- and setting up Drake Maye with a familiar target in Walker, whose length and speed would help open up this offense.
69. Los Angeles Chargers
Kiper's pick: Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan
Did you think Jim Harbaugh would go through his first draft with the Chargers and not take a Michigan man? Jenkins can be a solid interior pass-rusher at the next level. His dad, Kris, was a second-round pick by the Panthers in 2001.
70. Tennessee Titans (via mock trade with NYG)
Yates' pick: Junior Colson, LB, Michigan
Speaking on Michigan, how about Colson's fit with Tennessee? He would add immediate toughness to a Titans defense that lost Azeez Al-Shaair in free agency to Houston.
71. Arizona Cardinals (via TEN)
Kiper's pick: Mohamed Kamara, OLB, Colorado State
This is already the fifth pick by the Cardinals, to whom we've given a wide receiver, a cornerback and two offensive linemen so far. They ranked 30th in sacks last season (33), so Kamara could help their pass rush. He had 13 sacks last season and racked up 29 over the past three seasons.
72. New York Jets
Yates' pick: Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State
The Jets have a sneaky need at safety, and few defensive prospects have the versatility of Hicks. He played 323 snaps at safety, 79 at corner, 154 at inside linebacker and 191 at outside linebacker last season.
73. Detroit Lions (via MIN)
Kiper's pick: Bub Means, WR, Pitt
Means was one of my combine risers in February. He has big hands and long arms, and he ran a 4.43-second 40 in Indianapolis. He also was productive in college, leading the ACC with 18 contested catches in 2023.
74. Atlanta Falcons
Yates' pick: Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame
Atlanta figures to be in the corner market, and Hart's combination of 6-foot-3 size and 4.5-second 40 speed makes him a starting perimeter corner option in the NFL.
75. Chicago Bears
Kiper's pick: Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale
Amegadjie played just four games last season after tearing his quad muscle in October, but he has intriguing traits in a 6-foot-5 frame. I thought about an edge rusher for the Bears, but there aren't many likely to play early in this range. I'd rather take a flier on Amegadjie.
76. Denver Broncos
Yates' pick: Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Denver's patience at quarterback pays off here. Rattler could certainly compete with Jarrett Stidham for the starting job right away. Rattler threw for 3,186 yards last season, and he has had a good pre-draft process.
77. Las Vegas Raiders
Kiper's pick: Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
Finally, another running back off the board. The Raiders lost Josh Jacobs, which means there are opportunities for touches in 2024. Wright averaged 7.4 yards per rush in 2023, which ranked third in the FBS.
78. Washington Commanders (via SEA)
Yates' pick: Jonah Elliss, EDGE, Utah
Elliss has an advanced catalog of rush moves, and he'd be yet another part of the Commanders' edge rush rebuild after trading Montez Sweat and Chase Young last year. Elliss had 12 sacks last season.
79. Atlanta Falcons (via JAX)
Kiper's pick: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
The 294-pound Orhorhoro has the positional flexibility to play anywhere along the defensive line. After Field gave the Falcons edge rusher Dallas Turner in Round 1, we can get them help along the interior on Day 2. They had the league's worst pass rush in 2023.
80. Cincinnati Bengals
Yates' pick: Javon Baker, WR, UCF
With Tee Higgins' future in Cincinnati still a bit murky after his trade request, the Bengals can get some insurance late on Day 2. But even if Higgins stays put, Cincinnati could use depth at the position since Tyler Boyd is still unsigned.
Look back at some of Javon Baker's biggest catches at UCF.
81. Seattle Seahawks (via NO/DEN)
Kiper's pick: Zak Zinter, G, Michigan
Zinter broke his leg against Ohio State in November, forcing him to miss the Wolverines' College Football Playoff run. I don't think there's any reason to worry about him missing his rookie season, though. Seattle has just two picks in the first two days of the draft, and it has to add competition at guard with one of those.
82. Indianapolis Colts
Yates' pick: Dominick Puni, G/OT, Kansas
As Indy tries to pad the depth along the interior offensive line, the versatility of Puni -- he can play four different positions -- makes him a great value here. He didn't allow any sacks over the past two seasons.
83. Carolina Panthers (via mock trade with LAR)
Kiper's pick: Ben Sinnott, TE/HB, Kansas State
Sinnott is my top-ranked H-back, but he can be used mostly as a tight end, especially in a thin class. His 676 receiving yards last season ranked fourth among FBS tight ends. He measured 6-foot-4 and weighed 250 pounds at the combine, and he could quickly rise to the top of the Panthers' depth chart.
84. Pittsburgh Steelers
Yates' pick: Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State
The Steelers don't need a Week 1 starter at defensive tackle, but Hall would provide pass rush juice and could eventually pair with Keeanu Benton when Pittsburgh no longer has Cameron Heyward.
85. Cleveland Browns
Kiper's pick: Trey Benson, RB, Florida State
Nick Chubb should be back from his serious knee injury in 2024, but the Browns could use a young back to push him. Benson is speedy and shifty, and I like his ability to hit a hole and find a lane. With just two picks in the first four rounds of the draft, Cleveland might have to target its needs.
86. Houston Texans (via PHI)
Yates' pick: Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
Perhaps no safety in the class has better ball skills than Nubin, who finds his way to the football constantly. He had 13 interceptions in college, including five in 2023.
87. Dallas Cowboys
Kiper's pick: Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina
Leighton Vander Esch's injuries compromised the middle of the Cowboys' defense last season, and now he's retiring. They were punished on the ground in their playoff loss to Green Bay. Gray was a tackling force for the Tar Heels, and he has some upside as a blitzer on passing downs.
88. Green Bay Packers
Yates' pick: Calen Bullock, S, USC
Bullock has endless range and would pair with Xavier McKinney to form a new-look, turnover-forcing safety duo in Green Bay.
89. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kiper's pick: Elijah Jones, CB, Boston College
Jones picked off five passes last season, and he has a lot of experience locking down wideouts in man coverage. The Bucs ranked 29th in passing yards allowed to receivers (3,036) last season, and that was before they traded away starting corner Carlton Davis.
90. Arizona Cardinals (via HOU)
Yates' pick: DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke
Arizona again? We have the Cards checking off needs and making six picks in this three-round mock draft, capped off here with Carter. His impact extended way beyond the box score last season, as the versatile and relentless pass-rusher was a handful to block no matter where he lined up.
91. Green Bay Packers (via BUF)
Kiper's pick: Brennan Jackson, OLB, Washington State
I wanted to find a spot for Jackson at the end of Round 3, because I think everyone else is underrating him. He's a crafty pass-rusher. I really like the draft we've built for Green Bay.
92. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via DET)
Yates' pick: MarShawn Lloyd, RB, USC
Tampa Bay relied heavily on Rachaad White last season, but it was last in rushing, averaging 88.8 yards per game. Adding Lloyd would make for a more explosive and deeper backfield.
93. Baltimore Ravens
Kiper's pick: Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami
Kinchens ran a 4.65-second 40 at the combine, which saw him drop out of the top-50 discussion. But he's a good player. He picked off 11 passes over his final two seasons for the Hurricanes. In Baltimore, he could play in the secondary rotation as a rookie.
94. San Francisco 49ers
Yates' pick: Jared Wiley, TE, TCU
The Niners' hunt for a tight end behind George Kittle ends here with Wiley, who is huge at 6-foot-6 and 249 pounds and brings good speed. Wiley caught eight touchdown passes last season.
95. Kansas City Chiefs
Kiper's pick: Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame
Fisher, Notre Dame's right tackle over the past two seasons, was inconsistent at times, but he has some NFL starter traits. Kansas City has questions along its O-line, particularly at left tackle, where Donovan Smith is still unsigned.
96. Jacksonville Jaguars (compensatory pick)
Yates' pick: Christian Jones, OT, Texas
This is a bit of a lookahead pick for Jacksonville, who can get another offensive tackle in the pipeline. Jones has a ton of experience (48 career starts) and has played both left and right tackle.
97. Cincinnati Bengals (compensatory pick)
Kiper's pick: Blake Corum, RB, Michigan
With Joe Mixon gone, Corum would have a chance to compete for carries as a rookie. Corum is a little undersized at 5-foot-8 and 205 pounds, but he can break tackles. He is Michigan's all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (58), total touchdowns (61) and points scored (356).
98. Pittsburgh Steelers (via PHI; compensatory pick)
Yates' pick: Brandon Coleman, OT, TCU
Pittsburgh would add versatility and experience with Coleman while continuing the remake of its offensive line. He didn't allow any sacks last season.
99. Los Angeles Rams (compensatory pick)
Kiper's pick: Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon
No, Dorlus won't be able to replace Aaron Donald's production, but he has some pass rush upside. All five of Dorlus' sacks last season came when he was lined up as a defensive tackle. The versatility to play outside should appeal to new defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
100. Washington Commanders (via SF; compensatory pick)
Yates' pick: Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas
OK, let's wrap this thing up with Washington's sixth pick. Sanders is a legitimate playmaker with the football in his hands, and the Commanders would need more of those kinds of players around Jayden Daniels.
Note: The Miami Dolphins forfeited their 2024 third-round pick for violations of league policies relating to the integrity of the game.
