Expert Commentary: Pick No. 99 — Luke McCaffrey
- Draft Grade: D
- School: Rice
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 198
Random as hell. McCaffrey had a solid final season in college football, so maybe this works, but it’s hard to see where he fits in with the Commanders. Weird pick.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 98 — Kamren Kinchens
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 94
- School: Miami (FL)
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 203
Kinchens is a good playmaker and should be a productive member of the Rams’ secondary. His 4.65 40-yard dash and general poor performance at the NFL combine hurt him, but he’s still a good ball player.

- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 90
- School: N.C. State
- Height: 6′ 4″

Wilson has played a whole lot of football for NC State. He has a chance to be a solid starter.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 96 — McKinnley Jackson
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Texas A&M
- Height: 6′ 2″

The Bengals needed defensive line depth and might have found that with the steady Jackson from Texas A&M.

Another All-Juice team selection, Jones has a chance to develop into a solid starter for the Jaguars down the road.

Carter is a quality backup prospect for the Bills’ defensive line rotation.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 93 — Adisa Isaac
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 96
- School: Penn St.
- Height: 6′ 4″

Edge depth for the Ravens. They needed some insurance in case Odafe Oweh doesn’t take that next step.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 92 — Jalen McMillan
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 57
- School: Washington
- Height: 6′ 1″
- Weight: 197
The third Washington wide receiver is off the board, giving the Huskies six offensive players drafted from their national runner-up team. McMillan is a strong get for the Buccaneers and should compete for starting 11 personnel reps off the bat.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 91 — Ty’Ron Hopper
- Draft Grade: C-
- School: Missouri
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 231
It’s hard to get too upset about at a pick at this point in the draft, but Hopper feels like a long-shot to be a contributor on defense for the Packers.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 90 — Elijah Jones
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Boston Coll.
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 185
Jones adds versatile defensive back depth. Has the ability to grow into a starter at some point if things shake out for him, but he faces a log-jammed depth chart — which is a good thing for the Cardinals.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 89 —Tykee Smith
- Draft Grade: B
- School: Georgia
- Height: 5′ 10″
- Weight: 202
Safety depth here is a solid pull for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has a solid third safety or depth safety to pair with Antoine Winfield Jr. for the long term.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 88 — MarShawn Lloyd
- Draft Grade: A+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 97
- School: USC
- Height: 5′ 9″
- Weight: 220
Lloyd is a stud. He’s had a bit of a fumbling problem, but he’s a bowling ball with balance and some real breakaway speed. If he’s able to hold onto the ball better he can be an impact running back in the NFL.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 87 — Marist Liufau
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Notre Dame
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 234
The Cowboys needed a real linebacker body on their roster and they got one in Liufau. No more safeties at linebacker is a good thing for Dallas, even if Liufau isn’t necessarily a star.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 86 —Dominick Puni
- Draft Grade: C
- Pre-Draft Rank: 66
- School: Kansas
- Height: 6′ 5″
- Weight: 313
More depth for a 49ers offensive line that’s continuing to find their best starting five after an inconsistent showing in 2023.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 85 — Zak Zinter
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 99
- School: Michigan
- Height: 6′ 6″
- Weight: 309
The Browns just picked an offensive lineman who has starter potential in the third round. Good move for Cleveland and another member off the All-Juice team is gone.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 84 — Roman Wilson
- Draft Grade: C
- Pre-Draft Rank: 58
- School: Michigan
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 185
The Steelers needed some wide receiver depth and they got it, but they might have been better served finding a bigger play wide receiver. Still, Wilson will learn quickly with the big target vacuum he’s walking into.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 83 — Blake Corum
- Draft Grade: C+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 86
- School: Michigan
- Height: 5′ 8″
- Weight: 205
Corum is a good player, no doubt, but this feels like a weird fit with what Kyren Williams brought to the team last season. Still, a 1-2 punch with Williams and Corum behind a revamped offensive line might rake for the Rams.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 82 — Tip Reiman
- Draft Grade: C+
- School: Illinois
- Height: 6′ 5″
- Weight: 271
Good, big athlete for the Cardinals to pair with Trey McBride. This is the thunder to McBride’s lightning.

-
Expert Commentary: Pick No. 81 — Christian Haynes
- Draft Grade: A+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 30
- School: Connecticut
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 317
Haynes is a STUD. The Seahawks might have a rookie starting guard in the third round who excels just about everywhere. This is a fantastic pickup.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 80 — Jermaine Burton
- Draft Grade: B
- School: Alabama
- Height: 6′ 0″
- Weight: 196
Burton is extremely talented, but had some character red flags this offseason. He’s the perfect guy to pair with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase for the long term — and maybe Tee Higgins, too? Regardless, Burton can make big plays happen downfield.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 79 — Matt Goncalves
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Pittsburgh
- Height: 6′ 6″
- Weight: 327
Offensive line depth is never a bad thing. Goncalves might be able to play a few positions up front for the Colts, but solid swing tackle is a nice outcome for him.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 78 — Calen Bullock
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 61
- School: USC
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 188
Nice pick up for the Texans, who needed a safety to pair with Jalen Pitre. Bullock was one of the few playmakers on defense for the Trojans, notching nine interceptions in three seasons.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 77 — Delmar Glaze
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Maryland
- Height: 6′ 4″
- Weight: 315
This adds offensive tackle depth for a team that needed it. Perhaps Glaze is a diamond in the rough starter, but he’s most likely just depth.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 76 — Jonah Elliss
- Draft Grade: A
- School: Utah
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 248
The Broncos needed a pass rusher and Elliss is a great value at this point in the draft. He’s a high-floor guy who should be able to start right away.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 7
3— Cooper Beebe
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 46
- School: Kansas St.
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 322
Love this pick for Dallas. Beebe has versatility and talent to be a fixture with the Cowboys for a long time as they continue to find the next great version of their offensive line. He played guard and tackle in the same games at times for Kansas State.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 73 — Trevin Wallace
- Draft Grade: C
- School: Kentucky
- Height: 6′ 1″
- Weight: 237
The Panthers get the linebacker depth they need. Carolina just needed bodies on defense after losing a few guys this offseason. Brick by brick.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 72 — Isaiah Adams
- Draft Grade: C
- Pre-Draft Rank: 95
- School: Illinois
- Height: 6′ 4″
- Weight: 315
The Cardinals got a player who can provide good depth up front. He might not be a lot of long term starting potential, but he’s a body on the offensive line.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 71 — Andru Phillips
- Draft Grade: C+
- School: Kentucky
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 190
Good depth here for the Giants at cornerback. It’s never a bad idea to add cornerbacks and now the Giants have two defensive backs added at this point in the draft.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 71 — Junior Colson
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 48
- School: Michigan
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 238
The Chargers really needed a linebacker in the draft and Jim Harbaugh went back to Michigan to find one. Colson is one of the better linebacker prospects in the draft and his athleticism should help him make plays early for the Chargers.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 67 — Brandon Coleman
- Draft Grade: C
- School: TCU
- Height: 6′ 6″
- Weight: 320
This is a bit early for Coleman, but hard to get too mad at taking an offensive lineman with good movement skills in the third round. The Commanders at least got some developable depth here.

Expert Commentary: Pic No. 66 — Trey Benson
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 41
- School: Florida St.
- Height: 6′ 0″
- Weight: 216
This is a great pick for the Cardinals. Benson might not be the shiftiest runner, but big backs with legitimate straight-line speed are always good money. Benson is a true home run hitter.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 65 — Malachi Corley
- Draft Grade: B+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 65
- School: W. Kentucky
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 210
Corley has a chance to be a monster after the catch in the NFL. He’s a great addition to a room that already has Mike Williams and budding superstar Garrett Wilson. Wilson and Corley are a good duo to build around for the future.

Expert Commentary: :Pick No. 64 — Renardo Green
- Draft Grade: B
- School: Florida St.
- Height: 6′ 0″
- Weight: 186
Green is a skilled player for the 49ers to add to their defensive backfield. He made a lot of plays on the ball last year for the Seminoles and held first-round pick Malik Nabers in check during their matchups to open the season.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 63 — Kingsley Suamataia
- Draft Grade: A+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 22
- School: BYU
- Height: 6′ 5″
- Weight: 326
One plus is not enough here — this is a potentially franchise-altering pick for the Chiefs here at the bottom of the second round. Suamataia is a bit raw, but he has legitimate franchise left tackle athleticism and movement ability. Throw him out there and let him grow into an elite tackle.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 62 — Roger Rosengarten
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 92
- School: Washington
- Height: 6′ 5″
- Weight: 308
Rosengarten is an elite mover at offensive line and has a lot of experience playing in college. This is probably an immediate starter at right tackle after Baltimore traded away Morgan Moses.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 60 — Cole Bishop
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 60
- School: Utah
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 206
Bishop was a productive safety for Utah and now goes to a team that needs a safety. This is a safe pick that should give the Bills a multiyear starter at a position of need.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 59 — Blake Fisher
- Draft Grade: B+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 83
- School: Notre Dame
- Height: 6′ 6″
- Weight: 310
This pick might not come to fruition right away for the Texans, but it’s a great long-term play. Fisher is a bit raw, but he’s young and is still a realistic bet to hit his ceiling in a big way for the Texans. This pick could pay off in the long run for C.J. Stroud and the Texans.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 58 — Javon Bullard
- Draft Grade: A-
- Pre-Draft Rank: 79
- School: Georgia
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 198
This is a great get for the Packers. Bullard might not be the most dynamic athlete in the draft, but the former Bulldog is a playmaker all over the field and has a chance to be a long-term starter in the NFL. Bullard and Xavier McKinney are a versatile pair of safeties to put on the field.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 57 — Chris Braswell
- Draft Grade: C+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 67
- School: Alabama
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 251
Braswell is a solid, if unspectacular edge rusher. He’s got some burst up the field, but projects more as a tertiary rushing option rather than a lead dog. Still, a nice player to have on your roster even if he’s not a star.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 56 — Marshawn Kneeland
- Draft Grade: B-
- Pre-Draft Rank: 40
- School: W. Michigan
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 267
The Cowboys needed to add more juice to their pass rush and found someone who has the potential to be a solid No. 2 across from Micah Parsons for the long term. Kneeland had first-round rumors, but this is a probably a more appropriate spot for him.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 55 — Patrick Paul
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 34
- School: Houston
- Height: 6′ 8″
- Weight: 331
The Dolphins needed to continue bolstering their offensive line and they got a potential decade-long starter in Paul. Paul is a big-bodied freak athlete who has real potential to be a good player in the NFL. Love this.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 53 — Ben Sinnott
- Draft Grade: B-
- Pre-Draft Rank: 100
- School: Kansas St.
- Height: 6′ 4″
- Weight: 250
Sinnott is a quality tight end prospect that should round out a solid skill group for Jayden Daniels in his first year. It’s not the sexiest pick, but it’s a pick that will help the Commanders on offense.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 52 — Adonai Mitchell
- Draft Grade: A+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 24
- School: Texas
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 205
Mitchell was viewed as a potential first-round prospect and he fell all the way to the back half of the second round. The Colts need to continue to add weapons around Anthony Richardson as he works his way back from injury, and now they have Mitchell to play with Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 51 — Zach Frazier
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 38
- School: West Virginia
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 313
The Steelers continue their major youth movement up front. First Broderick Jones last season, then Troy Fautanu in the first round of this year’s draft, and now Frazier to man down their center spot. The Steelers clearly wanted to fix the offensive line this year and they’ve certainly moved in the right direction.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 50 — Mike Sainristil
- Draft Grade: A
- Pre-Draft Rank: 82
- School: Michigan
- Height: 5′ 9″
- Weight: 182
Shout out to the 2024 All-Juice Team! The Commanders grabbed a stud prospect to play in the slot for them. Sainristil is a competitive force who’s not afraid to come downhill and hit people in the mouth. He’s got pretty solid chops in man coverage too. Nice pickup.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 49 — Kris Jenkins
- Draft Grade: C+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 71
- School: Michigan
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 299
Jenkins is a solid defensive lineman who can play all over the line, but might not be a true standout at any position. Still, Jenkins has the talent and opportunity to develop into a steady presence for the Bengals.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 47 — Tyler Nubin
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 55
- School: Minnesota
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 199
This is probably about the right range for Nubin. He’s the first safety drafted and he’s a quality replacement for Xavier McKinney right away. This is the exact type of player that the Giants needed to add to their back seven.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 46 — Jonathon Brooks
- Draft Grade: D+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 72
- School: Texas
- Height: 6′ 0″
- Weight: 216
The process here for the Panthers is a bit strange. Brooks is a quality running back prospect, but trading up for a player who will still be getting up to full strength as a rookie is a bit odd. Of course, if Brooks is back to pre-injury form, then this is moot. It just seems awfully risky from a pick allocation sense.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 45 — Edgerrin Cooper
- Draft Grade: C
- Pre-Draft Rank: 49
- School: Texas A&M
- Height: 6′ 2″
- Weight: 230
The Packers felt like they needed a linebacker and they got one in Cooper. He’s very fast and has some coverage ability, but his play in the box leaves some room for growth. Cooper might be a lower floor player as far as NFL responsibilities are concerned, but he has the speed to be a playmaker early on.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 44 — Jackson Powers-Johnson
- Draft Grade: B
- Pre-Draft Rank: 27
- School: Oregon
- Height: 6′ 3″
- Weight: 328
This is probably a good spot for Powers-Johnson, who was announced as a guard instead of a center. Regardless, the Raiders needed bodies on the interior and Powers-Johnson is a credible player to add at guard. Very steady starter.

Expert Commentary: Pick No. 43 — Max Melton
- Draft Grade: B+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 88
- School: Rutgers
- Height: 5′ 11″
- Weight: 187
The Cardinals traded back and got a cornerback with massive upside. The Cards are still building out their roster for the long term, so it makes sense that they would take someone who can pay off in a big way in the future. Brick by brick.
