32: San Francisco 49ers - Tyler Guyton
17: Jacksonville Jaguars - Amarius Mims

The Jags have several holes to fill on their roster, not least along their offensive line. Mims offers size and physicality, two areas that the Jags need in the trenches.

18: Cincinnati Bengals - Taliese Fuaga

Per Draftwire, the Bengals' number one need in the 2024 draft is offensive tackle, fortunately for them, there are loads of options in the draft so one will fall to them. In this instance its the giant Fuaga from Oregon State.

19: Los Angeles Rams - Terrion Arnold

The Rams could also be looking for some help along the offensive line here, but with Arnold still available, he makes a ton of sense with this pick to add some young talent to a defense that needs it.

20: Pittsburgh Steelers - Nate Wiggins

Joey Porter Jr. has one side of the Steelers’ secondary locked down for the future, adding Wiggins. Wiggins has been described by CBS Sports as an “alpha who can work on an island,” which should leave little room for error for opposing offenses.

21: Miami Dolphins - Troy Fautanu

The Dolphins need offensive line help, and Fautanu offers just that. He looks set to play guard in the NFL and could well solidify the Dolphins’ interior for the long term.

22: Philadelphia Eagles - Quinyon Mitchell

CBS Sports analyst Leger Douzable has stated that Quinyon Mitchell is, “Probably the highest-rated defensive player,” at the Senior Bowl. The Eagles have historically liked to select Senior Bowl standouts making this pick a nice fit.

23: Houston Texans - Bralen Trice

The Texans shocked the NFL in 2023 and are now looking to build on an already impressive roster with the addition of Trice, who NFL Draft Buzz has described as having, “impressive size and build, paired with outstanding mobility for his frame.”

24: Dallas Cowboys - Kingsley Suamataia

The Cowboys need a right tackle and Kingsley Suamataia is exactly that, offering huge size and power at a position that is in desperate need of an upgrade.

25: Green Bay Packers - Kool-Aid McKinstry

The Packers need some help on defense and McKinstry provides exactly that, the two-time All-SEC cornerback is blessed with good size, 6’1”, 195 lbs per ESPN, and great coverage ability.

26: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Xavier Legette

The Bucs have relied on Mike Evans for so long, now it’s time to draft his replacement while Evans is still playing well. Legette has been described as a “bully-style yards-after-the-catch player thanks to his ample speed and strong build,” and, “a devastating contested-catch player”, by Bleacher Report, sound familiar to anyone?

27: Arizona Cardinals - T’Vondre Sweat

Sweat’s teammate at Texas, Jaylan Ford, described Sweat as, “making big people look small,” from ESPN. Sweat is a behemoth of a nose tackle and should become a dominant figure in the heart of the Cardinal’s defense.

28: Buffalo Bills - Cooper DeJean

DeJean is a talented cornerback who can help out with punt returns if needed. The Bills need some young talent injected into their secondary, which this Iowa prospect can give them in spades.

29: Detroit Lions - Chop Robinson

The Lions are going to have most of their core group together again in 2024, so why not add another talented pass-rusher into the mix? Robinson has been described as an, “imposing presence on the edge,” by NFL Draft Buzz. Sounds like a good fit to us.

30: Baltimore Ravens - Brian Thomas Jr.

The Ravens were able to patch together a good wide receiving group in 2023, but now is the time to invest in some more young talent. Zay Flowers looked good in his first year as a pro, so add in Thomas from LSU and let them cook.

31: Kansas City Chiefs - Ja'Tavion Sanders

This is a little higher than most have Sanders going, but we are working within the confines of our hunch that Travis Kelce may well call it a day if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl again. Sanders could go some way to replacing Kelce’s production.

32: San Francisco 49ers - Tyler Guyton

Guyton is another guy who has been showing out at the Senior Bowl, with Sports Illustrated’s Parker Blake calling him, “the most dominant offensive lineman,” during the first day of practice. The Niners need offensive line help, Guyton can provide that.
