There’s a strong group of defensive players available and still plenty of wide receivers. Want to know what I thought of every pick made in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

Grades: Round 1 • Round 2 • Round 3 • Round 4 • Round 5 • Round 6 • Round 7
33. Bills: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
Grade: C-
“X” receiver for WR-needy team. Plays faster than his combine speed but doesn’t separate consistently and isn’t as good of a contested-catch wideout as his size and highlight-reel would indicate. Young though.
34. Chargers: Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
Grade: A
Crafty, athletic, polished WR who can win on the boundary and in the slot. Releases are great. Route-running nuance also there. Deceptive speed and YAC skills.
35. Falcons: Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
Grade: B
Big, long, powerful interior rusher without many pass-rush moves. But his traits shine against the run and has enough explosion to win between gaps or with bull rushes. Expensive trade up though hurts his grade despite Falcons filling a need with quality prospect.
36. Commanders: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois
Grade: A+
Serious talent at DT. Powerful, polished upfield rusher with stellar hand work. Pad level raises at times but that’s nitpicking. Need meets awesome value here for Washington.
37. Patriots: Ja’Lynn Polk, WR, Washington
Grade: B-
Complete wideout without stellar athletic traits who tracks it awesomely. Flashes of YAC wiggle and power. Fun, versatile piece to add to the offense that needs it. A tick early for him though.
38. Titans: T’Vondre Sweat, DT, Texas
Grade:
