2024 NFL Mock Draft: Round 2 – WalterFootball (2024)

NFL Draft Recent Links:

Carolina Panthers: Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina

The Panthers don’t have any speed at receiver. They need some players at the position who can separate.

Xavier Legette has been a rising prospect. He is a massive receiver and has good speed for his size.

If you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it at the top. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

You can buy it here. It has some NFL Draft-related topics, so like I said, if you want to support the site, this is a great way to do it!

New England Patriots: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

It almost doesn’t matter who’s at quarterback; the Patriots need to improve their dreadful receiving corps.

Troy Franklin has great size and the ability to be an underneath receiver.

Arizona Cardinals: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State

The Cardinals have lost so much front-seven talent in recent years. They’ll need to obtain some new players who can generate pressure on the quarterback.

Jared Verse has nice athleticism and a steady motor.

Washington Redskins: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri

The Redskins had one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL last year, so they’ll have to focus on upgrading their secondary.

Ennis Rakestraw is a versatile defensive back with quality size.

Pick change; previously Nate Wiggins, CB

Los Angeles Chargers: Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan

The Chargers have great edge talent, but they could stand to improve the interior of their defensive line.

Like his father, Kris Jenkins Jr. is a disruptive interior presence.

Tennessee Titans: Junior Colson, LB, Michigan

The Titans have such issues at linebacker that they signed Kenneth Murray to be a starter. That won’t end well.

Junior Colson is a big linebacker who defends the run well.

Carolina Panthers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon

The Panthers paid big money to two guards in free agency. Now, they need an upgrade at center, as Austin Corbett has had two knee surgeries in two years.

Jackson Powers-Johnson moved from the defensive to the offensive line, and he was a superb center in his final season.

Pick change; previously Ennis Rakestraw, CB

Washington Redskins: Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale

It would be irresponsible of the Redskins to draft a quarterback at No. 2 and not provide him with a better left tackle than what they have now.

Kiran Amegadjie is a bit of a project, but he’s a big and lengthy prospect with a good skill set.

Green Bay Packers: Chris Braswell, OLB, Alabama

The Packers could stand to add another front-seven player to help defeat the Lions and their great offensive line.

Chris Braswell has huge upside as someone who has rotated with other talented edge rushers at Alabama.

Houston Texans: Payton Wilson, LB, N.C. State

The Texans lost some talent at linebacker this offseason, so they’ll have to find replacements early in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Payton Wilson has had mixed evaluations. He flew all over the field for N.C. State.

Atlanta Falcons: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia

The Falcons don’t have a very good group of cornerbacks outside of A.J. Terrell.

Kamari Lassiter has the upside to be a cover cornerback in the NFL.

Pick change; previously Ricky Pearsall, WR

Las Vegas Raiders: Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

The Raiders really wanted Paris Johnson in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Cardinals sniped him off the board via trade. Here’s another tackle.

Patrick Paul has plus athleticism and length.

New Orleans Saints: Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame

The Saints struggled at cornerback across from Marshon Lattimore, so the position could be addressed soon.

Cam Hart is a big cornerback who limited Marvin Harrison Jr.

Indianapolis Colts: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas

There are rumors the Colts could trade for A.J. Brown. If they don’t get a deal done, they may spend an early pick on a receiver.

Xavier Worthy is a shifty receiver with good length.

New York Giants: Cooper Beebe, G, Kansas State

It would be a huge mistake for the Giants not to address their dreadful offensive line.

Cooper Beebe is excellent in pass protecion.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Maason Smith, DT, LSU

Jacksonville needs as much talent as possible up front to pressure the talented quarterbacks in their division.

Maason Smith has a big and lengthy frame and great athleticism, but he missed most of the ’22 season with a torn ACL.

Pick change; previously Jordan Morgan, OT

Cincinnati Bengals: T'Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas

Cincinnati had one of the worst run defenses in the NFL this past season.

T’Vondre Sweat is a massive player and a great athlete for a player his size. He has drawn comparisons to Jordan Davis.

Pick change; previously Kamren Kinchens, S

Philadelphia Eagles: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia

The Eagles have two stud receivers, but nothing beyond them. They need a better third wideout.

Ladd McConkey projects as a gritty slot receiver at the next level.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas

Diontae Johnson is gone, so the Steelers will need to find a new receiver.

Adonai Mitchell has mismatch size and speed. He has huge upside.

Los Angeles Rams: Zach Frazier, C, West Virginia

The Rams need to shore up their offensive line by adding one more interior player.

Zach Frazier is a solid pass protector who can play guard and center.

Philadelphia Eagles: Javon Bullard, CB/S, Georgia

The Eagles had horrific play from their cornerbacks this year. They’ll need to address the position on multiple occasions this offseason.

Javon Bullard is a safety or a nickel cornerback who projects similarly to Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.

Pick change; previously Kamari Lassiter, CB

Cleveland Browns: Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky

The Browns traded for Jerry Jeudy, but they’ve met with a bunch of receivers ahead of the draft, indicating that they’re looking for another wideout.

Malachi Corley lacks height, but is a thickly built receiver.

Miami Dolphins: Braden Fiske, DT, Florida State

The Dolphins need defensive line help in the wake of losing Christian Wilkins and others this offseason.

Braden Fiske is a quick, athletic interior pass rusher.

Dallas Cowboys: Trey Benson, RB, Florida State

Tony Pollard was a huge bust, so the Cowboys will be looking for a new running back.

Trey Benson is a tough downhill runner who showed off unexpected athleticism at the combine.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

The Buccaneers lost Devin White this offseason. Lavonte David doesn’t have much time remaining. Linebacker help is needed.

Edgerrin Cooper is an explosive linebacker with huge upside.

Green Bay Packers: Cole Bishop, S, Utah

The Packers have issues at safety that they needed to address earlier.

Cole Bishop makes plays all over the field.

Houston Texans: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson

The Texans could stand to add defensive line help to improve their pass rush against the talented quarterbacks in the division.

Ruke Orhorhoro has a nice frame and decent upside, and he can play in both the 4-3 and 3-4.

Pick change; previously Javon Bullard, CB/S

Buffalo Bills: Marshawn Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan

Marshawn Kneeland wasn’t overly productive at Western Michigan, but looked good at the Senior Bowl.

Detroit Lions: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State

Jameson Williams has been a big disappointment thus far. The Lions need another receiver with Josh Reynolds gone.

Keon Coleman is a massive receiver with quickness and good ball skills.

Baltimore Ravens: Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington

The Ravens lost three offensive linemen this offseason, so they’ll have to find some blockers in the early rounds.

Roger Rosengarten protected Michael Penix’s blind side well. He has the potential to play guard as well.

San Francisco 49ers: Ja'Lynn Polk, WR, Washington

There’s talk of the 49ers possibly trading Brandon Aiyuk, so here’s a potential replacement.

Ja’Lynn Polk has a nice blend of size, speed, and route-running ability.

Kansas City Chiefs: Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida

Receiver was a big need for the Chiefs even before Rashee Rice’s off-the-field problems.

Ricky Pearsall has plus speed and route-running ability.

Pick change; previously Jermaine Burton, WR
