The 2024 NFL Draft has come to a close with 257 selections made, setting the stage for rookie minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. While the focus often tends to be on the top picks, players selected on Day 2 and Day 3 of the draft have the potential to emerge as key contributors for their teams in the upcoming season.
One such player is CB Andru Phillips of the New York Giants, who was picked 70th overall. Phillips is expected to bolster the team’s secondary and provide much-needed help in defending the pass. Similarly, WR Roman Wilson, chosen 84th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers, is praised for his reliable hands and blocking abilities.
DB Taylor-Demerson, drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, is a versatile defensive player capable of making an impact from various positions on the field. LB Knight, selected by the Seattle Seahawks, had a standout 2023 season and could play a vital role in the team’s revamped linebacking corps.
Edge rusher Booker, picked by the Chicago Bears, slipped to the fifth round despite his high potential. Nonetheless, he has the ability to enhance the team’s pass rush and make a difference on the field. RB/WR Tracy, drafted by the New York Giants, possesses a diverse skill set and is expected to compete for a backup role behind Devin Singletary.
Lastly, WR Johnson, drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers, has displayed promise in contested catch situations and could prove to be a valuable asset for quarterback Justin Herbert. As the offseason progresses, these Day 2 and Day 3 draft picks will have the opportunity to showcase their talents and vie for significant roles within their respective teams.
