After two trade backs to get totally out of Round 1... the Bills go with a player mocked to them frequently at No. 28. Instant, versatile boost to the offense with Ladd McConkey.

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (9)

Chris Braswell EDGE

Alabama • 6'3" / 255 lbs

Projected Team
Arizona
PROSPECT RNK
45th
POSITION RNK
7th

The Cardinals need more rushing capabilities on their defense, and Chris Braswell is a long, powerful rusher who kind of feels like he's in his own second tier at the edge-rusher spot in this class.

Round 2 - Pick 36

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (12)

Kingsley Suamataia OT

BYU • 6'6" / 325 lbs

Projected Team
Washington
PROSPECT RNK
40th
POSITION RNK
8th

The receivers will come for Jayden Daniels, but with two off the board in the first few selections, the Commanders go with a high-upside blocker in Kingsley Suamataia to eventually protect the edge.

Round 2 - Pick 37

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (15)

Keon Coleman WR

Florida State • 6'4" / 215 lbs

Round 2 - Pick 38

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (18)

Marshawn Kneeland DL

Western Michigan • 6'3" / 275 lbs

Projected Team
Tennessee
PROSPECT RNK
65th

Marshawn Kneeland is a work in progress but possesses elite physical tools at the edge-rusher spot. The Titans need more threatening outside rushers.

From New York Giants

Round 2 - Pick 39

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (21)

Jackson Powers-Johnson IOL

Oregon • 6'3" / 320 lbs

Projected Team
Carolina
PROSPECT RNK
34th
POSITION RNK
2nd

JPJ can start at guard and eventually kick inside to center in Carolina. While the Panthers did make a concerted effort to shore up the blocking unit in front of Bryce Young this offseason, it's never a bad idea to add more offensive line reinforcements for a young quarterback.

From Chicago Bears

Round 2 - Pick 40

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (24)

Projected Team
Washington
PROSPECT RNK
78th
POSITION RNK

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (27)

Payton Wilson LB

NC State • 6'4" / 230 lbs

Projected Team
Green Bay
PROSPECT RNK
62nd
POSITION RNK
2nd

Payton WIlson is a plug-and-play inside linebacker. If he stays healthy, he could become one of the best overall defenders from this class.

From Minnesota Vikings

Round 2 - Pick 42

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (30)

Edgerrin Cooper LB

Texas A&M • 6'3" / 230 lbs

Projected Team
Houston
PROSPECT RNK
47th
POSITION RNK

Round 2- Pick 43

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (33)

Adisa Isaac EDGE

Penn State • 6'4" / 254 lbs

Projected Team
Atlanta
PROSPECT RNK
73rd
POSITION RNK
8th

Chop Robinson's edge-rusher mate at Penn State is, unsurprisingly, a freaky specimen around the corner, too. This fills a need.

Round 2 - Pick 44

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (36)

Kiran Amegadjie OT

Yale • 6'5" / 326 lbs

From Denver Broncos

Round 2 - Pick 45

POSITION RNK
11th
REC
69
REYDS

YDS/REC

The Saints have to give Derek Carr more weapons, and Ja'Lynn Polk is a do-everything type out wide. Align him anywhere, too.

Round 2 - Pick 46

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (42)

T.J. Tampa CB

Iowa State • 6'2" / 200 lbs

Projected Team
Indianapolis
PROSPECT RNK
61st
POSITION RNK
10th

The Colts have to bring in more cornerback talent to the secondary room, and T.J. Tampa fits the profile of the longer cornerbacks Chris Ballard normally likes. Great tackler, too.

From Seattle Seahawks

Round 2 - Pick 47

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (45)

Christian Haynes IOL

Connecticut • 6'2" / 313 lbs

Projected Team
N.Y. Giants

Tyler Nubin S

Minnesota • 6'2" / 210 lbs

Projected Team
Jacksonville
PROSPECT RNK
49th
POSITION RNK
1st

The Jaguars make Tyler Nubin the first traditional safety off the board. He was a ball magnet at Minnesota and can step into a prominent role relatively early in his NFL career.

Round 2 - Pick 49

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (51)

Johnny Newton DL

Illinois • 6'2" / 295 lbs

Projected Team
Cincinnati
PROSPECT RNK
26th
POSITION RNK
2nd

Many had Johnny Newton to the Bengals in Round 1. Given how good Newton is attacking up the field, this is tremendous value.

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (54)

Roman Wilson WR

Alabama • 6'1" / 195 lbs

Projected Team
Pittsburgh
PROSPECT RNK
29th
POSITION RNK
5th

The Steelers are happy to stop McKinstry's fall here. He and Joey Porter Jr. would formulate an awesome boundary corner tandem in Pittsburgh.

Ben Sinnott TE

Kansas State • 6'4" / 247 lbs

Projected Team
L.A. Rams
PROSPECT RNK
54th
POSITION RNK
2nd

Sinnott's an athletic specimen with serious receiving chops to give Matthew Stafford another weapon over the middle.

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (63)

Cooper DeJean CB

Iowa • 6'1" / 207 lbs

Projected Team
Philadelphia
PROSPECT RNK
25th
POSITION RNK

Quality players seem to fall into Roseman's lap, and it happens again with DeJean who can play any secondary position.

Round 2 - Pick 54

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (66)

Patrick Paul OT

Houston • 6'7" / 315 lbs

Jonathon Brooks RB

Texas • 6'0" / 207 lbs

Projected Team
Green Bay
PROSPECT RNK
72nd
POSITION RNK
2nd

Even with Josh Jacobs in the mix, the Packers reinvest in the running back position with one of the most talented rushers in the class, who probably would've been picked earlier than this had he not torn his ACL in 2023.

Round 2 - Pick 59

2024 NFL mock draft for Day 2: Spencer Rattler next QB off the board, several teams add WRs in Rounds 2 and 3 (81)

Braden Fiske DL
