- Las Vegas Raiders – Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
- New Orleans Saints – Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
- Indianapolis Colts – Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
- New York Giants – Trey Benson, RB, Florida State
- Jacksonville Jaguars – Bralen Trice, Edge, Washington
- New York Jets (mock trade with the Cincinnati Bengals) – Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
- Philadelphia Eagles – Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
- Pittsburgh Steelers – Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia
- Los Angeles Rams – Brandon Dorlus, Edge, Oregon
- Philadelphia Eagles – Christian Haynes, OG, UConn
- Cleveland Browns – Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State
The Browns decide not to trade up in an attempt to secure the services of running back Trey Benson. After seeing 53 other picks pass by prior to going on the clock for the first time in the 2024 NFL Draft, numerous players who had meetings and visits with Cleveland have already been selected. With Xavier Worthy, Kingsley Suamataia, Troy Franklin, Malachi Corley and Trey Benson crossed off the board, Michael Hall Jr. is one of the names – if not the name – at the very top remaining. The Streetsboro native will return to Northeast Ohio and become a part of a top tier defense in the NFL at the moment.
Hall’s explosiveness as a pass rusher from the interior most closely aligns with the ability that Maurice Hurst provides the Browns. Hurst is on a one-year deal so Hall may see significant time in 2025.

- Dallas Cowboys – Jonathon Brooks, RB, Texas
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Cooper Beebe, OG, Kansas State
- Green Bay Packers – Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan

- Buffalo Bills – Javon Bullard, SAF, Georgia
- Detroit Lions – Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
- Baltimore Ravens – Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
- San Francisco 49ers – T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State
- Kansas City Chiefs – Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington
ROUND 3 ON NEXT PAGE
Outstanding article. A Few things
I’m not touching the top 3 picks with a comment, because who truly knows? I like Drake Maye ALOT! But, it is hard to argue with the tools of Jayden Daniels, or the season Williams had TWO years ago, not this past year.
Harrison to the Cardinals at 4 is a giant steal for them. Harbaugh was sure he was going to get him at 5.
JJ to the Giants at 6 is a BAD IDEA. They are already over paying a sub par qb, why waste a 6 overall pick on JJ?
Vikings trading with the Falcons to select a QB cracks me up since the Falcons just took Cousins. However, I want Penix in Denver, oh well!
Bears are going to get a stud with Odunze if he does land there.
I’m not okay with Latu at 12 to Denver, because I just get this bad feeling he may be fragile. Just doesn’t seem like he is big enough.
I’d rather see the Browns take a OT with their second round pick, but do like the Buckeye selection as well at DT.
Great job Cole!
