  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 19 — Jared Verse

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 21

  • School: Florida St.

  • Height: 6′ 4″

  • Weight: 254

  This is a very safe, solid pick for the Rams at this point in the draft. Verse is a high-floor player for the Rams that fits in well with the players they have up front. The Rams were looking at an offensive player earlier in the process, but they ended up with a stud pass rusher who immediately makes them better.

  The Steelers have made their first round selection, and they’ve added to their offensive line to help protect new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields

  Caleb Williams is already being welcomed to Chicago by another USC product who’s already a sports star in the city — six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 18 — Amarius Mims

  • Draft Grade: A+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 11

  • School: Georgia

  • Height: 6′ 8″

  • Weight: 340

  Love this pick! Mims did not play a whole bunch of football in college due to injury and depth, but he is not lacking for talent and skill. He has the size at 6-foot-8 and 340 pounds with the technique of the purest pass protectors in the NFL. If he can stay healthy, he’ll have no problem assimilating to the NFL.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 17 — Dallas Turner

  • Draft Grade: B+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 14

  • School: Alabama

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 247

  Turner’s draft slide officially comes to an end with the Vikings trading up to get him in an effort to replace Danielle Hunter. Turner isn’t a finished product, but he’s a rugged defender that managed to run a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He’s got the potential to be a dynamite edge defender in the NFL.

  Cincinnati opts to protect the franchise after Joe Burrow played just 10 games last season due to injury

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 7:10 PM PDT

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 16 — Byron Murphy II

  • Draft Grade: A

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 19

  • School: Texas

  • Height: 6′ 1″

  • Weight: 297

  The Seahawks got one of the few truly disruptive interior defenders in the draft with Murphy — something they really needed. Murphy has the talent to become a star in Mike Macdonald’s defense and gives the Seahawks a credible option up front in case Dre’Mont Jones struggles again in his second year with the team.

  

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 7:09 PM PDT

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 15 — Laiatu Latu

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 23

  • School: UCLA

  • Height: 6′ 5″

  • Weight: 259

  This is a good landing spot for Latu. He’s had some injury concerns in the past, but Latu is a productive, versatile edge rusher that profiles as a high-floor player. He might not be Von Miller or prime Khalil Mack, but he’s a talented player in his own right that should be an 8-10 sack guy in the NFL.

  Seattle looks to sure up their defensive line with the second defensive lineman off the board in Round 1

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 6:59 PM PDT

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 14 — Taliese Fuaga

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 18

  • School: Oregon St.

  • Height: 6′ 6″

  • Weight: 324

  The Saints needed an offensive lineman with the struggles of Trevor Penning and Ryan Ramczyk’s injury situation. Fuaga can play tackle or guard and will be a big boost for the Saints in the ground game. This is a strong pick that gives the Saints some much needed flexibility and depth up front.

  Defense finally matters! The Indianapolis Colts, who are ready to get franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson back in the fold, make the first defensive selection of the 2024 NFL Draft.

  For the first time since 1999, Bill Belichick isn’t pulling the levers in the New England Patriots’ war room on draft day, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t weighing in on the Pats picks. The six-time Pats’ Super Bowl winning head coach was lukewarm on New England’s first round selection of North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick in the first round.

  The first round run on offensive players reaches 14, as New Orleans retools their offensive line

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 6:45 PM PDT

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 13 — Brock Bowers

  • Draft Grade: B-

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 4

  • School: Georgia

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 243

  This is a bit of a surprise at this point because the Raiders just drafted Michael Mayer last year, but it’s hard to get too mad at adding a talent like Brock damn Bowers. The Raiders’ two-tight end personnel sets are going to be a beast and they’ll be in good position to make life easier for whoever is playing quarterback for them this year.
