3. Statements About Green Economy Values and Ethics �I always bear in mind that we live on a spaceship. (...). And I believe that every passenger on this spaceship must help reduce the damage. I happen to have a certain amount of money, plus other resources and connections, and am able to do something. It is time for entrepreneurs to take action�. Nicolas G. Hayek, 2007CEO Swatch

4. Statements about Green EconomyGlobal Competition �Our competitors are catching up fast. China will soon replace Germany as market leader in solar technology. In fact, they have already overtaken Germany in terms of wind energy. China and the US may well have slowed down the global climate negotiations. But, in the real world of climate protection, they are in the fast lane�.  Connie Hedegaard, EU Commissioner forClimate Action, 2010 FrankfurterAllgemeine

How 27 seconds of silence turned a salman rushdie interview into gripping television.

Author Salman Rushdie is lucky to have survived the attack on his life in August 2022. Rushdie, appearing on 60 Minutes for his first television interview since the knife attack, said that, in addition to losing his right eye, he sustained fifteen wounds on his face, neck, hand, chest, and thigh.

Rushdie told anchor Anderson Cooper that the man who leaped on stage stabbed and slashed him for 27 seconds.

To underscore the horror of a 27-second knife attack, Cooper relied on a communication technique that’s rarely used in a visual medium designed to grab and keep the viewer’s attention—silence.

“This is how long 27 seconds is,” Anderson Cooper said as he started the stopwatch on his phone.

The two men sat across from each other for 27 seconds and didn’t say a word. It made for gripping television, made more emotional by close-up camera angles of each man’s face.

Finally, Rushdie broke the silence. “It’s quite a long time,” he said. “That’s the extraordinary half-minute of intimacy in which life meets death.”

Silence is a powerful yet under appreciated communication tactic that can underscore the gravity of an issue—as Cooper expertly demonstrated— or provide a uniquely memorable moment in a speech or presentation.

The Good, Bad And Ugly From The Green Bay Packers’ Draft

Silence is an effective rhetorical tool for a skilled communicator because it breaks a pattern. By interrupting the spoken word, it acts as a signal to the brain to pay attention. In the wild, when the chatter and chirping of animals suddenly come to a stop, it’s a sign to be on high alert.

If you want people to look up from their screens, go silent.

I learned about the power of silence in a business presentation when I met with the CEO of a major Silicon Valley company releasing a new tech product. The company’s engineers had figured out how to significantly speed up data transfers from computers to hard drives.

“A transfer of data that usually takes a minute will now take no more than 20 seconds,” they said excitedly.

“Instead of putting the information on a PowerPoint slide, why don’t you demonstrate it in real time?” I suggested. Run two computers on stage—one with the current technology and the other with your new product. After your transfer is completed in 20 seconds, tell the audience to wait until your competitors catch up.”

“What should I say in the meantime?” the CEO asked.

“Nothing. Let the time pass. Another 40 seconds of silence will be painful to sit through and will underscore your point better than any PowerPoint deck could possibly show.”

Don’t confuse silence for a simple pause. A pause is waiting for a beat or two to underscore a key point or to give the audience a chance to absorb an idea. Silence is an extended pause, sometimes uncomfortably long, to make the audience feel the pain of a slow process.

Above all, the use of silence must be intentional and relevant. When musician Amanda Palmer walked on stage for her popular TED Talk, she silently placed a milk carton on the floor, stepped up, struck a pose, and took a deep breath. Twenty-four seconds later, she started to speak.

“I didn’t always make my money from music,” she began. Palmer then explained that, for five years, her “day job” was working as a living statue while playing clubs at night. Her intentional silence was relevant to the topic, framed the context, and made for a gripping presentation.

Don’t let your message get lost in the noise—the barrage of text, video, and information that bombards your listeners daily. Instead, cut through it by letting silence do the talking.

NFL draft grades: Every pick from 2024 rounds four through seven

Day 3 of the NFL draft starts with the Carolina Panthers on the clock with pick No. 101. The Panthers traded up for their first pick, taking WR Xavier Legette from South Carolina with the No. 32 pick.

Here's how the NFL draft will shape up during Saturday's final day: The fourth round will feature 35 picks, while the fifth will have 41, the sixth will have 44 and the seven will have 37, ending with the 257th and final selection.

Here are USA TODAY Sports' 2024 NFL draft grades for every pick in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds.

2024 NFL draft grades: Every pick in fourth round

101. carolina panthers, ja'tavion sanders, te, texas, grade b+.

Carolina continues to surround quarterback Bryce Young with talent in this draft. Sanders offers a big body with 4.6 speed to upgrade the pass catchers. He'll need to improve his blocking but offers great value as an F tight end at the top of the fourth round.

NFL DRAFT HUB: Latest NFL Draft mock drafts, news, live picks, grades and analysis.

102. Denver Broncos (from Washington Commanders via Seattle Seahawks), Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon, Grade B-

Franklin reunites with college teammate Bo Nix in Denver . He's a vertical threat with 4.4 speed and reliable hands that he showed off with the Ducks. He'll be a field-stretcher but there are concerns about his size at 6 feet, 1 inch and just 176 pounds, making him one of the leanest wide receivers in the class.

103. New England Patriots, Layden Robinson, G, Texas A&M, Grade C+

New England bolsters its offensive line again in the fourth round with one of the longer guards in the draft. Robinson has some of the longest arms and biggest hands in the class. His aggressive play style will be a boost in the running game but he's more of a project in pass protection. He's at least a good depth piece for the Patriots to start his career.

104. Arizona Cardinals, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech, Grade A-

Nicknamed "Rabbit," Taylor-Demerson was one of the more productive safeties in college football during his time with the Red Raiders. He led Texas Tech in interceptions for the last three years and had 33 career passes defended. His speed and instincts make him another good addition to the Cardinals' defensive backfield.

105. Los Angeles Chargers, Justin Eboigbe, DT, Alabama, Grade B-

Eboigbe has the size (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) to greatly improve the Chargers' run defense early in Los Angeles. His length and motor make him a potential option rushing the passer. There are medical concerns, though, as Eboigbe missed most of 2022 with a season-ending neck injury. So long as his medical tests check out, he offers plenty of upside.

106. Tennessee Titans, Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina, Grade A

Gray led all Power 5 players in tackles over 2022-23 with 279. He's athletic, aggressive and smart, finding a way to the ball consistently. He's one of the better linebackers in this class and getting him this late is a great value selection for the Titans. He could at least contribute on special teams immediately.

107. New York Giants, Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State, Grade B

Johnson is one of the best size-speed-athleticism prospects at the position in the draft. At 6 feet, 4 inches and 247 pounds, he ran a 4.57 40-yard dash and posted the fastest shuttle time in the class among tight ends. He'll need to improve his blocking to stick in the league but offers a lot of potential.

108. Minnesota Vikings, Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon, Grade B

Jackson's one of the tallest cornerbacks in the class and uses that size and competitive streak to stay in position. He led the Ducks with three interceptions and 12 passes defensed in 2023. He'll excel in press-man coverage but will turn 25 before his rookie season starts.

109. Atlanta Falcons, Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon, Grade A-

Dorlus lined up in multiple places on the defensive line for the Ducks and led them in sacks (5.0) in 2023. He has the size and skill to get reps early on as a base end and move inside in sub situations. He does need to improve his consistency but was one of the top interior defensive linemen in the class, offering great value in Round 4.

110. New England Patriots (from Chicago Bears through Los Angeles Chargers), Javon Baker, WR, UCF, Grade C

Baker's athletic profile compares well to Green Bay's Romeo Doubs. Baker is not an elite athletic player but thrived after the catch in his final year at UCF. He is an upgrade for the Patriots at wide receiver as they invest around Drake Maye , but his inconsistency and drops are a concern.

111. Green Bay Packers (through New York Jets), Evan Williams, S, Oregon, Grade B

Williams transferred to Oregon from Fresno State in 2023 and led the Ducks in tackles with 82. He shines in run support and gives new Packers coordinator Jeff Hafley another piece in the back end. Williams can line up in multiple spots or play a traditional box safety role.

112. Las Vegas Raiders, Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State, Grade C+

Richardson played with current NFL cornerbacks Martin Emerson and Emmanuel Forbes in his time with the Bulldogs. His length at 6 feet, 2 inches and 4.34 40-yard dash speed complement his sure tackling to make Richardson a developmental prospect. But his lack of ball production (zero interceptions in college) is a big red flag.

113. Baltimore Ravens (from Denver Broncos through New York Jets), Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina, B

Walker's big-play ability stands out in a loaded class of wide receivers. Once he took the field mid-season for the Tar Heels, he was an immediate upgrade for Drake Maye and was a third team All-ACC player. His route running needs improvement and lack of physicality could hurt him at the NFL level, but the Ravens add a different kind of player to their wide receiver room.

114. Jacksonville Jaguars, Javon Foster, OT, Missouri, B+

Jacksonville finally adds to the offensive line in the draft with Foster. The longtime Tigers left tackle was a standout in pass protection against SEC competition and helped pave the way for running back Cody Schrader. His aggression in run blocking could make him one of the better value picks in the class for Jacksonville.

115. Cincinnati Bengals, Erick All, TE, Iowa, Grade C+

Based on numbers and tape alone, All is a solid tight end in a top-heavy class. He's a better blocker than most prospects and led the Hawkeyes in receiving in 2023. But he suffered season-ending injuries in 2023 and 2022 and only played 10 total games in that span. If he stays healthy, he's a solid No. 2 tight end for the Bengals.

116. Jacksonville Jaguars (from New Orleans Saints), Jordan Jefferson, DT, LSU, Grade: C-

Jacksonville goes two-for-two with LSU defensive tackles after taking Maason Smith in Round 2. He's strong at the point of attack and uses his burst off the line well. He lacks flexibility and balance that you'd like to see on the interior. He'd be a rotational linemen and this seems early to draft him.

117. Indianapolis Colts, Tanor Bortolini, C, Wisconsin, Grade: B+

Unsurprisingly, the uber-athletic Bortolini gets swooped up by Indianapolis here. He was an outstanding tester at the combine and fits easily into zone schemes with his movement skills and balance. His short arms and smaller wingspan overall does give some pause, but he could develop into a center of the future for the Colts. 

118. Seattle Seahawks, Tyrice Knight, LB, UTEP, Grade: C

Knight led the country in solo tackles with 84 as a senior for the Miners. His nose for the football shines against the run thanks to his instincts and closing burst. He rarely misses tackles and will at least be an immediate impact starter on special teams. His coverage limitations could be more of a red flag against NFL competition.

119. Pittsburgh Steelers, Mason McCormick, G, South Dakota State, Grade: B

One of the more talented offensive line classes in recent history sees McCormick in the fourth round. He turns 24 before the season starts but tested very well at the combine and has the size to hold up at guard. He's inconsistent at times on tape but a mauler in the running game who can back up all three interior linemen spots. Pittsburgh continues to improve the trenches with a versatile prospect here.

120. Miami Dolphins (from Los Angeles Rams through Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles), Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee, Grade: B+

The Dolphins' pedigree for speed makes it no surprise they took Wright at this spot. He was a threat to go the distance against SEC competition with the Volunteers. He's been compared to Jerome Ford with his scheme versatility and can work on all three downs. He could make for an impressive 1-2 combo with De'Von Achane in Miami.

121. Seattle Seahawks (from Miami Dolphins through Denver Broncos), AJ Barner, TE, Michigan, Grade: B

Barner's an ideal in-line tight end that gives the Seahawks another threat in the pass game who can hold his own in most blocking situations. He's a bit small to be a Y tight end with some of the smallest hands in the class but has the athleticism to be a flex tight end early on.

122. Chicago Bears (from Philadelphia Eagles), Tory Taylor, P, Iowa, Grade: D

True, Taylor was one of the best punters in the nation in 2023 at Iowa. He did notch a 67-yard punt for the Hawkeyes in their bowl game. But with just four total picks in this year's draft, this seems like a waste of a resource for the Bears with players who could fill more needs still on the board.

123. Houston Texans (from Cleveland Browns through Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles), Cade Stover, TE, Ohio State, Grade: B+

Houston gets a great value pick at tight end to continue to build around quarterback C.J. Stroud. Stover initially played defensive end and linebacker before becoming one of the best Buckeye tight ends in years. He'll never be a strong blocker but he has the mentality and skills to become a great possession tight end.

124. San Francisco 49ers (from Dallas Cowboys), Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest, Grade: C+

San Francisco continues to load up on the back end here. Mustapha has the range to hold up in both pass and run defense. His ball production in college was mediocre (three interceptions in 39 career games) and his athleticism isn't elite. He compares well to Jordan Whitehead but with Ji'Ayir Brown and Talanoa Hufanga already on the 49ers roster, he won't get any significant starting time, barring injury.

125. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon, Grade: C

Irving's a smaller back with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume and could struggle to find similar production in the NFL. He's a strong receiving back as well with 56 career catches and could be a complementary back to Rachaad White in Tampa Bay. At No. 125 overall, this doesn't feel like too much of a reach, but the Buccaneers could've addressed other needs first.

126. Detroit Lions (from Green Bay Packers through New York Jets), Giovanni Manu, OT, British Columbia, Grade: D

Manu is massive at 6 feet, 8 inches and 352 pounds. He started for the last three seasons at left tackle and left guard at the University of British Columbia, making it hard to properly judge his tape. He has rare athleticism for his size but needs a lot of development. This feels like a reach for Detroit as many boards had him as an undrafted free agent.

127. Philadelphia Eagles (from Houston Texans), Will Shipley, RB, Clemson, Grade: C

Philadelphia suddenly has a crowded running back room with Shipley, Saquon Barkley, and Kenneth Gainwell. He's a weapon in both the run and pass game and made first-team All-ACC at three different spots: running back, all-purpose, and specialist. His speed and urgency with the ball overcome average size and he could become an asset in case Barkley goes down with injury.

128. Buffalo Bills, Ray Davis, RB, Kentucky, Grade: C+

Buffalo adds some depth behind starter James Cook with Davis. A physical back despite standing 5 feet, 8 inches, Davis flashed his skills in the passing game in 2023 as well. Davis does have a lot of tread on the tires with more than 800 total touches in college, lacks long speed, and will turn 25 as a rookie, all knocks for a pick at this spot.

129. San Francisco 49ers (from Minnesota Vikings through Detroit Lions and New York Jets), Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville, Grade: B-

Christian McCaffrey fantasy football owners need not be worried. Guerendo already worked in a split role in Louisville with Jawhar Jordan and could help spell McCaffrey in San Francisco. He is an elite athlete at his size and put on a show at the scouting combine. Despite being one of the oldest prospects in the class at running back (23), he has just 273 career touches in college. 

130. Baltimore Ravens, T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State, Grade: A

Baltimore gets one of the best value picks in the draft to this point with Tampa. The Ravens are loading up in the back end after taking Nate Wiggins in Round 1 and Tampa is a scheme-versatile corner many had tabbed for Round 2. He's a disruptor at the position with 22 career passes defensed in college and could be a rotational player immediately.

131. Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Wiley, TE, TCU, Grade: A-

Wiley stands 6 feet, 6 inches at 249 pounds with 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash. That combination of athleticism along with reliable hands (one drop in 59 career games) makes him a potential rotational tight end early on. His competitiveness in blocking situations is a good sign he can develop into a contributor with Kansas City's infrastructure.

132. Detroit Lions (from San Francisco 49ers through Philadelphia Eagles; compensatory selection), Sione Vaki, S, Utah, Grade: B

Vaki was one of the more versatile players in college football in 2023, lining up at both safety and running back. That background projects easily to special teams right away. His combine performance was slightly disappointing so this feels a bit early again for the Lions, especially considering how they've invested in the defensive backfield over the last two drafts. 

133. Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo Bills; compensatory selection), Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State, Grade: A

Hicks was the top safety on some draft boards thanks to his fantastic tape and solid size. He can fit in any scheme and will be an asset for Steve Spagnuolo and company to develop into a starter as they have with many young DBs recently. This may be one of the best value picks of the round.

134. New York Jets (from Baltimore Ravens; compensatory selection), Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin, Grade: B

Allen's one of the biggest running backs in the class at 235 pounds and one of the youngest (he'll turn 21 in January). He's a bruising back who thrives in short yardage but has the speed to make a quick cut and go. He's not as elusive but, paired with Breece Hall with the Jets, offers a different skill set and the pass blocking to stay on the field on third down.

135. San Francisco 49ers, Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona, Grade: D+

Cowing's a small slot receiver who impresses with his straight-line speed. His small catch radius and stature (171 pounds at his pro day) could be tough to produce in the NFL. This is also a reach for San Francisco which already has a stacked wide receiver room the 49ers added to in Round 1 .

2024 NFL draft grades: Every pick in fifth round

136. seattle seahawks (from carolina panthers through cleveland browns and denver broncos): nehemiah pritchett, cb, auburn, grade: b-.

Pritchett has ideal size at 6 foot and 190 pounds and ran one of the fastest 40-yard dashes at the combine among cornerbacks. His tackling and character make him an ideal developmental cornerback and he could become a rotational starter in Seattle early on.

137. Los Angeles Chargers (from New England Patriots), Tarheeb Still, CB, Maryland, Grade: B-

Still was a consistent producer in college with 28 passes defensed and six interceptions in 39 career games. He started all but two games in Maryland and looks like he enjoys press coverage on tape. He's not an overwhelming athlete and lacks size but has the instincts to hold up and help a Chargers defense in transition.

138. Arizona Cardinals, Xavier Thomas, Edge, Clemson, Grade: B

Thomas' inconsistency against the run is worrying considering he spent six years in college with the Tigers. He was in the same recruiting class as Trevor Lawrence and Patrick Surtain II. He flashes explosive potential in pass rush situations and could be a rotational piece early on for a Cardinals team seeking pass rush help.

139. Washington Commanders, Jordan Magee, LB, Temple, Grade: B+

Washington signed Bobby Wagner in free agency and Magee could benefit from learning behind the nine-time Pro Bowl player. Magee's athleticism will come in handy in coverage and he plays hard against the run despite his smaller frame.

140. Los Angeles Chargers, Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame, Grade: A

After taking Still three picks earlier, Los Angeles gets arguably a top-100 prospect with Hart here. His size at 6 feet, 3 inches makes him one of the longer corners in the draft. He lacks ball skills but his athleticism helps him match up against varied receiver types. He'll at the very least be a top-tier special teams gunner as he grows into a bigger role on defense.

141. Buffalo Bills (from Carolina Panthers through New York Giants), Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia, Grade: B+

Van Pran-Granger started 44 games over the last three seasons for the Bulldogs under multiple offensive coordinators. He is an imposing presence in the run game and consistently performed en route to two national championships in college. He needs to improve in pass protection but he has the skills already to start if need be along the interior in Buffalo.

142. Indianapolis Colts (from Tennessee Titans through Carolina Panthers), Anthony Gould, WR, Oregon State, Grade: C+

Gould spent the vast majority of his time with the Beavers at outside wide receiver despite standing 5-8 and weighing 174 pounds. He's one of the fastest wideouts in the class and could be one of the best returners on the team as a rookie.

143. Atlanta Falcons, JD Bertrand, LB, Notre Dame, Grade: C-

Bertrand led the Fighting Irish in tackles over the past three seasons and was a Campbell Trophy finalist in college. He's an effective blitzer but lacks the athleticism to keep up against top-tier athletes in the NFL. His instincts, motor, and preparation will offer rotational value. Considering the other prospects at the position still on the board, this is a reach.

144. Chicago Bears (from Chicago Bears through Buffalo Bills), Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas, Grade: A-

A trade back into Round 5 sees Chicago net one of the top value picks of the round. Booker has flashed potential despite starting just one game in college. He's an ascending talent who could thrive on a Bears defensive line featuring Montez Sweat. 

145. Denver Broncos (from New York Jets), Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri, Grade: A-

Denver gets a ballhawking cornerback in Round 5 with this selection. Abrams-Draine led the SEC in passes defensed with 16 in 2023. His thin frame is concern against bigger wide receivers but his competitive streak and positioning makes him at least a rotational corner for the Broncos early on.

146. Tennessee Titans (from Minnesota Vikings through Philadelphia Eagles), Jarvis Brownlee Jr., CB, Louisville, Grade: C+

Tennessee bolstered cornerback in free agency by signing Chidobe Awuzie and trading for L'Jarius Sneed. Brownlee Jr. is a physical corner and plays aggressive against the run. Considering the options on the board here, the Titans would've been better served shoring up other positions.

147. Denver Broncos, Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame, Grade: C+

Estime was a workhorse for Notre Dame but comes to a Broncos team already featuring Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine in the backfield. Estime posted a 4.71 40-yard dash, one of the worst at the combine, but the tape shows a better downhill runner. He could become an RB1 but that may be hard to do in such a crowded backfield.

148. Las Vegas Raiders, Tommy Eichenberg, LB, Ohio State, Grade: C+

Eichenberg helped lead a turnaround on defense in Columbus with his instincts and tackle production. He's much stronger against the run than the pass due to his average athleticism. His feel for the game and understanding of concepts could make him a starter early on.

149. Cincinnati Bengals, Josh Newton, CB, TCU, Grade: B

Cincinnati continues its recent history of defensive back investment with Newton. A five-year starter for the Horned Frogs, Newton projects well in zone schemes that will cover up for his lack of long speed. His instincts and competitiveness will help a Bengals defense looking for a turnaround in 2024.

150. New Orleans Saints, Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina, Grade: B+

Rattler's a tough read. He transferred from Oklahoma to South Carolina and played well despite having one of the least consistent offensive line groups in the conference. His athleticism and impressive arm talent makes up for his less-than-ideal size. He could develop into a long-term starter to succeed Derek Carr in New Orleans and that makes this a great value in Round 5.

151. Indianapolis Colts, Jaylon Carlies, S, Missouri, Grade: B-

At 6 feet, 2 inches tall and 227 pounds, Carlies is a bit of a tweener who could transition from safety to linebacker for Indianapolis. He led Missouri in tackles in 2022 and 2023 and has the straight line speed to be a productive player in both run defense and coverage. He has struggled at times in zone schemes and this feels like a bit of a reach for a prospect without a set position.

152. Philadelphia Eagles (from Seattle Seahawks through Washington Commanders), Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M, Grade: C

The Eagles look to plug a hole at slot receiver with the small but twitchy Smith here. His production over five years in College Station isn't impressive but he excelled in the return game. He'll likely be a contributor in that role as a rookie but his lack of size and smaller catch radius may limit his long-term production.

153. Jacksonville Jaguars, Deantre Prince, CB, Ole Miss, Grade: B

Jacksonville bolsters cornerback again here with an elite athlete at ideal size. He took a one-year hiatus to junior college in 2020 before returning to Ole Miss. He was a reliable player for the Rebels with okay ball production. He's best in press coverage and his athleticism and toughness will keep him on an NFL roster regardless of how quickly he develops.

154. Los Angeles Rams, Brennan Jackson, Edge, Washington State, Grade: B+

Jackson's relentless motor mirrors that of the Rams' top pick this year, Jared Verse. That effort helped him get 20 career sacks over 44 games with the Cougars. He can get thrown off his base and lacks bend at the position but can become a rotational edge rusher as the Rams replenish the defensive line.

155. Philadelphia Eagles (from Pittsburgh Steelers through Los Angeles Rams, Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts): Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson, Grade: B-

Trotter's IQ, body control, and quickness made him a tackling machine for the Tigers. He's one of the many prospects with an NFL father in this year's class. Unfortunately, this Trotter's not ready-made for the modern NFL. His lack of length and speed in coverage could be a liability despite his gaudy tackling numbers. 

156. Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia Eagles through Arizona Cardinals): Jamari Thrash, WR, Louisville, Grade: C+

Thrash is deep threat and has shown consistency in running the whole route tree. His clean release will be challenged against tougher defenders in the NFL but he can at least carve out a role on special teams with his speed. Considering the Browns' diverse talents at wide receiver already, and the other prospects on the board, this feels like a reach.

157. Carolina Panthers (from Minnesota Vikings through Cleveland Browns and New York Jets): Chau Smith-Wade, CB, Washington State, Grade: C

Outside of Jaycee Horn, the Panthers are relying on free agent signings across the defensive backfield in 2024. He's quick but not fast at 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 184 pounds. He'll need to move inside at the NFL level and needs to improve his discipline in coverage to make up for his lack of elite traits.

158. Miami Dolphins: Mohamed Kamara, DE/OLB, Colorado State, Grade: C+

After signing Shaq Barrett in free agency and drafting Chop Robinson in Round 1, the Dolphins are doubling down even more at edge with Kamara. He's a physical, high-motor pass rusher who consistently works offensive lineman despite his 6-foot-1, 248-pound frame. Miami could've bolstered more pressing needs at this spot.

159. Kansas City Chiefs (from Dallas Cowboys): Hunter Nourzad, C, Penn State, Grade: B

Nourzad started at right tackle, left guard, and right guard before moving to center in his final season at Penn State. His strength is solid but not overwhelming and he uses his smarts and technique to stay in position. Kansas City could develop him to back up all three interior offensive line positions.

160. Buffalo Bills (from Green Bay Packers): Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB, Washington, Grade: A

Buffalo suffered numerous injuries to its linebacking group down the stretch in 2023 and Ulofoshio boosts that position. He'll turn 25 in January, meaning his potential may be capped in the NFL, but the player he is now is an impressive athlete at the position. That athleticism and instincts could make him an ideal backup or spot starter at the position for the Bills.

161. Washington Commanders (from Tampa Bay Buccaneers through Philadelphia Eagles): Dominique Hampton, S, Washington, Grade: B-

Hampton put on a show at the combine considering his size. That size-speed combination will serve him well in the NFL as he needs to improve his discipline in coverage. He had just two career interceptions in college despite 57 games played. His tools make him a rotational safety for a Commanders defense in need of assistance at all levels.

162. Arizona Cardinals (from Houston Texans): Christian Jones, OT, Texas, Grade: B

Jones started 48 games at right and left tackle for the Longhorns over the past four seasons. He's stiff but strong at contact with an above-average wingspan and big hands. He's one of the lighter tackles in the class at 305 pounds but could become a factor in Arizona relatively quickly.

163. Green Bay Packers (from Buffalo Bills): Jacob Monk, C, Duke, Grade: C+

Monk started 58 career games across three positions at Duke (center, right guard, and right tackle). He's not an elite athlete but has great technique and foot quickness. His strength is lacking considering his size but he goes to a team that typically gets the most out of late-round offensive linemen.

164. Indianapolis Colts (from Detroit Lions through Philadelphia Eagles): Jaylin Simpson, S, Auburn, Grade: B+

Simpson's career year in 2023 showed what he can do on the back end at corner. He tallied four interceptions and seven passes defensed with one of the best coverage grades on the team. His smaller frame could hold him back in press coverage but his ball skills and speed make him a solid special teamer at worst.

165. Baltimore Ravens: Rasheen Ali, RB, Marshall, Grade: C+

Baltimore adds to their running back room after signing Derrick Henry in free agency. Ali's injury history, pass blocking, and ball security (11 fumbles from 2021-23) are a concern. But he can make breakaway plays with his burst.

166. New York Giants (from San Francisco 49ers through Carolina Panthers): Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB, Purdue, Grade: B

Tracy Jr.'s one of the more intriguing talents in the draft. A longtime wide receiver, Tracy Jr. transitioned to running back in 2023 and put up good numbers. Is he a wide receiver or a receiving running back? In either role, the Giants could use another boost to the offense and he's worth developing.

167. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Minnesota Vikings through Kansas City Chiefs): Keilan Robinson, Texas, Grade: D

Robinson's college production was limited with the likes of Bijan Robinson, Roschon Johnson, and Jonathan Brooks on the roster. He was a standout returner which is likely his role in the NFL. He could end up a great return man in Jacksonville. But at this pick, the Jaguars would've been better served shoring up other needs.

168. Buffalo Bills (from New Orleans Saints through Green Bay Packers; compensatory selection): Javon Solomon, DE/OLB, Troy, Grade: B+ 

His production's undeniable with 16.0 sacks in 2023 and 32.5 in his college career. He's on the smaller side at 6 feet tall and 246 pounds but his speed off the edge is ideal. He's struggled against bigger blockers before but could work in as a rotational piece for the Bills, making for great value in the end of Round 5.

169. Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection): Kitan Oladapo, S, Oregon State, Grade: D+

Oladapo's tape from Corvallis is impressive with a blend of solid athleticism at the right size for a box safety. He was one of the best run defenders in the country at the position, per Pro Football Focus. But he's the third safety Green Bay's drafted in the last three rounds. And they just signed Xavier McKinney in free agency.

170. New Orleans Saints (compensatory selection): Bub Means, WR, Pittsburgh, Grade: C

Last year, New Orleans took A.T. Perry in Round 6. They continue a late-round ACC wide receiver tradition by taking Means here. His rare hand size, wingspan, and vertical jump give him an incredible catch radius. But his lack of route running will limit his immediate impact.

171. New York Jets (from Philadelphia Eagles; compensatory selection): Jordan Travis, QB, Florida State, Grade: C+

Travis suffered a left leg injury in 2023 that cut his standout season short. He led a turnaround at Florida State and became one of the most prolific passers in program history. His size is a concern, even with his dual-threat ability, as is his ball placement and consistency.  

172. Philadelphia Eagles (compensatory selection): Trevor Keegan, G, Michigan, Grade: C-

Keegan's ideal size for guard is undone by his average athleticism. His experience and physicality will help at the NFL level but the Eagles could've found players with higher upside on the board at this spot.

173. New York Jets (from Kansas City Chiefs through San Francisco 49ers; compensatory selection): Isaiah Davis, RB, South Dakota State, Grade: D-

One round after taking one of the best backs in the class, the Jets double down with selecting Davis. The former Jackrabbits standout has plenty of college production behind a line featuring multiple future NFL players. But there's little need for a running back with limited special teams value as a rookie at this spot considering the board.

174. Dallas Cowboys (compensatory selection): Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest, Grade: B+

Carson missed 11 games over the last three years with the Demon Deacons. Injury concerns aside, he's a versatile NFL cornerback with ideal size and athleticism. If he stays healthy, he could become a solid starter for the Cowboys at a great value.

175. New Orleans Saints (compensatory selection): Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas, Grade: B

Ford is a solid athlete with NFL size at the position and a nose for the ball (27.5 career tackles for loss). He may struggle in coverage against better athletes but he knows how to operate in zone coverage over the middle.

176. New York Jets (compensatory selection): Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto Argonauts, Grade: D-

Stiggers is an incredible story who's now made it to the NFL. But as far as a talent goes, this is a massive reach for someone who played semi-pro football in 2022 before joining the CFL in 2023. He has solid size and great athleticism but will need a lot of development. Considering the other more ready-made corners on the board, this was a rough way to end Round 5.

2024 NFL draft picks: Round 6

177. minnesota vikings (from carolina panthers through jacksonville jaguars): walter rouse, ot, oklahoma, grade: b+.

Rouse has prototypical athleticism at his size for NFL offensive linemen. His athletic profile matches up well with Jawaan Taylor and his football IQ will likely keep him on an NFL roster for years. He makes for an ideal swing tackle on a talented Vikings offensive line.

178. Pittsburgh Steelers (from Arizona Cardinals through Carolina Panthers): Logan Lee, DT, Iowa, Grade: C

Lee's a long, explosive athlete at the position but lacks the ideal weight and strength to stay on the inside. He's not quite a interior defender but doesn't possess the burst and power to thrive on the edge. He is a hard worker and could grow into a niche role alongside standouts in Pittsburgh.

179. Seattle Seahawks (from Washington Commanders): Sataoa Laumea, G, Utah, Grade: A-

Seattle continues to shore up the interior offensive line in Round 6 with Laumea at a great value selection. A four-year starter with the Utes, Laumea is a great presence in the run game with his foot quickness and power. He needs to develop in pass protection but is in no rush to start as a rookie in Seattle.

180. New England Patriots: Marcellas Dial, CB, South Carolina, Grade: D

Dial's ideal size and athleticism give him a solid floor as a cornerback but his lack of instincts and tackling are concerns. He's made more for zone schemes and needs time to develop more disciplined spacing in coverage. This is a bit of a reach even for Round 6.

181. Los Angeles Chargers: Kimani Vidal, RB, Troy, Grade: C-

Vidal stands 5-8 but his 213-pound frame make him a strong blocker and physical runner. He doesn't have home-run speed but he can operate well in between the tackles. At best, Vidal's likely the fourth-best running back on the Chargers' depth chart. 

182. Tennessee Titans (reacquired through Philadelphia Eagles): Jha'Quan Jackson, WR, Tulane, Grade: C

Tennessee continues to build around quarterback Will Levis with the undersized but fast Jackson. His athletic profile lines up well with Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed and he offers returner upside immediately. Injuries and route running are both concerns at this point.

183. New York Giants: Darius Muasau, LB, UCLA, Grade: C

The Giants continue to load up on defense but at an interesting position here. Between Bobby Okereke and 2022 draft pick Micah McFadden, Muasau might struggle to find a consistent role. He's an all-around solid linebacker but lacks the athleticism to make big plays in coverage. He'll likely be a backup with spot starting potential.

184. Miami Dolphins (from Chicago Bears): Malik Washington, WR, Virginia, Grade: A-

This is one of the best value picks of Round 6. Washington is a reliable route runner with good ball skills and explosive movement after the catch. He's an ideal slot receiver and fits in well with Miami despite his smaller size for the position.

185. Philadelphia Eagles (from New York Jets): Johnny Wilson, WR, Florida State, Grade: B

Wilson's imposing size (6-6, 231 pounds) makes him a winner on 50/50 balls and a wide receiver archetype the Eagles don't currently have on the roster. Is he ultimately a tight end? Maybe, considering his lack of separation and unreliable route running, but he's a player worth developing.

186. Atlanta Falcons (from Minnesota Vikings through Arizona Cardinals): Jase McClellan, RB, Alabama, Grade: C-

Atlanta's running back room is getting more crowded with the addition of the Crimson Tide's top rusher in 2023. McClellan is a big back who runs hard and accelerates quickly to the hole. But he lacks top-end speed and with multiple more productive running backs on the roster already, this feels like a reach.

187. Atlanta Falcons: Casey Washington, WR, Illinois, Grade: D+

Washington's a speedy deep threat with ideal athleticism at prototypical size. His route running leaves a lot to be desired and, for such top athlete, he struggled with separation at the college level. He needs time to develop compared to other prospects on the board at the position.

188. Houston Texans (from Las Vegas Raiders through New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings): Jamal Hill, LB, Oregon, Grade: D+

Hill's size caters to a move to safety at the NFL level. He has the athleticism to keep up in coverage and special teams which may be his role for the foreseeable future. Many boards had him as an undrafted free agent so this feels a bit high for a player without a set position in the league.

189. Detroit Lions (from Denver Broncos through Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans): Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU, Grade: A

Detroit snags one of the better interior defensive linemen in the class many rounds after most analysts thought he'd be selected. His high motor and agility make up for his lack of ideal size. His initial burst is among the best in the class and offers another different dimension to the Lions' improving defensive line.

190. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans Saints): Dylan McMahon, C, North Carolina State, Grade: B

McMahon's mix of experience (44 starts across right guard, center, and left guard) as well as his solid technique and efficient body control make for a great backup on the interior. He doesn't have the size or athleticism to hold up as a starter at guard but he could last at center.

191. Arizona Cardinals (from Indianapolis Colts): Tejhaun Palmer, WR, UAB, Grade: C-

Arizona goes with a height-weight-speed prospect here in Palmer. He started for the last two years at UAB and his coaches constantly remarked about his extreme athleticism. He needs time to develop as a route runner but has the athletic upside to be a contributor in time.

192. Seattle Seahawks: D.J. James, CB, Auburn: Grade: A-

Seattle gets one of the better SEC corners in Round 6 here. He's undersized at 175 pounds but has the speed and feet to keep up in coverage. He led Auburn in Pro Football Focus' defensive grade with an 83.9 in 2023. Many analysts expected him to be gone by Round 4 at the latest, making this a great value pick. 

193. New England Patriots (from Jacksonville Jaguars): Joe Milton, QB, Tennessee, Grade: D

Milton likely has the strongest arm in this top-heavy quarterback class. The former Volunteer started one season for Tennessee and has arguably the best physical tools in this quarterback class. He lacked touch on throws and, at 24 years old, there's concern over future development. He could eventually move to tight end but if not this is an odd choice of resources for a talent-needy Patriots team.

194. Cincinnati Bengals: Tanner McLachlan, TE, Arizona, Grade: C+

The Bengals continue to boost the pass-catching group with McLachlan and Erick All on Day 3. With All, Drew Sample, and Mike Gesicki already on the roster, this is a puzzling choice. But McLachlan offers good ball skills at the catch point and enough athleticism to develop in the NFL. He will need to improve as a blocker to make this a worthwhile selection.

195. Pittsburgh Steelers: Ryan Watts, CB, Texas, Grade: B

Watts is one of the biggest cornerbacks in the draft. He has the longest arms of any defensive back at the combine this year. He needs to improve his discipline in coverage or move to safety (which he did during East-West Shrine Bowl practices). At the very least, he will contribute on special teams right away and the Steelers can develop him from there.

196. Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Davis, DT, Clemson, Grade: B-

Davis projects as a high-floor nose tackle with outstanding strength given his size. He may struggle against longer interior blockers on the inside but he at least has the anchor to hold up against the run and bull rush against the pass. He's yet another high-motor guy on the defensive line for Los Angeles.

197. Atlanta Falcons (from Cleveland Browns): Zion Logue, DT, Georgia, Grade: D-

Logue is one of the taller DT prospects in recent history but he lacks the wingspan you'd expect at that height. His power is limited to straight line explosion and can be a plugger in the run game. But there were plenty of other better talents at the position left on the board.

198. Miami Dolphins: Patrick McMorris, S, Cal, Grade: C

McMorris has ideal size for the position and coverage skills to stick in the league. His tackling leaves a lot to be desired for the position, though, and he struggles against the run game. For Miami, he could work well with his play recognition and NFL-level athleticism.

199. New Orleans Saints (from Philadelphia Eagles): Khristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa, Grade: B+

Boyd was left out of the combine despite impressive tape. He's an impact performer against the run and uses his size to take up space on the interior. He has flashes of pass rush potential but needs to improve that to become a long term contributor. He's a good investment given New Orleans' aging defensive line and could provide lots of upside down the road.

200. Carolina Panthers (from Buffalo Bills through Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans: Jaden Crumedy, DT, Mississippi State, Grade: B+

Crumedy's athleticism shows up on tape but only in flashes. If he can stay healthy and string together more periods of consistency, Crumedy could become one of the better interior defensive linemen of this class. That upside makes for great value by Carolina here. 

201. Indianapolis Colts (from Tampa Bay Buccaneers through Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles): Micah Abraham, CB, Marshall, Grade: C

Abraham has the athleticism the Colts often look for across the board with 4.43 speed. He's the son of an NFL player and had very good ball production in college with 12 career interceptions. His size is the only knock at 5-9 which is why he can be outmuscled on routes by bigger receivers.

202. Green Bay Packers: Travis Glover, OT, Georgia State, Grade: C-

Green Bay opts for another offensive linemen in this class and Glover provides experience at guard and tackle. He likely lacks the athleticism to stick at tackle but has the power and frame to hold up if need be. He could provide depth at either guard or tackle for the future.

203. Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets through Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos and Houston Texans): Will Reichard, K, Alabama, Grade: C+

A kicker at No. 203 isn't a waste when it's the NCAA's all-time points leader. Reichard made an incredible 84% of his kicks in college, including going 5-for-5 from 50 yards or more in 2023. He's more known for accuracy than power but could finally end Minnesota's struggle to find a consistent placekicker.

204. Buffalo Bills: Tylan Grable, OT, UCF, Grade: B

Buffalo's shoring up the offensive line even more in Round 6 with the developmental Grable. He started the last two years at left tackle after entering college as a tight end. His upward trajectory is promising and his solid athleticism provides the foundation for a swing tackle down the line. 

205. Houston Texans (from Detroit Lions): Jawhar Jordan, RB, Louisville, Grade: C+

After trading for Joe Mixon and drafting Dameon Pierce in 2022, it's an odd choice to go with Jordan with other holes on the offense. Jordan's a smaller back who runs hard and makes precise cuts but there are concerns about his durability. He could provide kick return value to Houston under the new rules.

206. Cleveland Browns (from Baltimore Ravens): Nathaniel Watson, LB, Mississippi State, Grade: B+

Cleveland continues to add pieces on defense late in the draft with the athletic Watson. In 2023, he led the SEC in sacks (10.0) and tackles (137). His instincts leave something to be desired but his quick reactions, speed, and tackling will make him a special teams standout or a high-end backup at linebacker.

207. Seattle Seahawks (from San Francisco 49ers through Denver Broncos): Mike Jerrell, OT, Findlay, Grade: D-

Seattle goes with a player many didn't see being drafted at all. Jerrell has 40 starts at right tackle with Findlay and has impressive agility for his frame. He'll need time to adjust to the NFL level but has the length and toughness to potentially develop over time. At this pick, this may be a move to ensure they won't need to outbid other teams to sign him post-draft.

208. Las Vegas Raiders (from Kansas City Chiefs): Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire, Grade: B

With no clear lead running back in Las Vegas following Josh Jacobs' departure, Laube's a small-school option to bridge the gap. Laube is a dynamic runner and receiver whose drawn comparisons to Danny Woodhead. He's also a standout returner who could provide instant impact as he learns the offense.

209. Los Angeles Rams (compensatory selection): Joshua Karty, K, Stanford, Grade: B-

More kickers come off the board with Karty here. He's got NFL-level kicking power and would be a likely starter on kickoffs to nullify the return game. He struggled in 2021 but improved to drill 41 of 45 field goals over his final two seasons in Stanford. Los Angeles could have a long-term answer at the position.

210. Detroit Lions (from Philadelphia Eagles, compensatory selection): Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College, Grade: A+

This is the best pick of Round 6. Detroit selects a guard many thought would be off the board by Round 3 with the No. 210 overall selection. Mahogany's outstanding power and above-average length make him a mauler in the running game. He'll need time to develop in pass protection and needs to play with more control but this is an incredible value for the Lions.

211. Kansas City Chiefs (from San Francisco 49ers; compensatory selection): Kamal Hadden, CB, Tennessee, Grade: B+

Kansas City adds another cornerback to the young defensive core with one of the better coverage cornerbacks in 2023, per Pro Football Focus. He lacks top-end speed but the coverage skills are there and ball production as well. The Chiefs could quickly use him zone coverages and develop from there.

212. Jacksonville Jaguars (compensatory selection): Cam Little, K, Arkansas, Grade: C+

Little never missed an extra point and connected on 53 of 64 career field goals in college. He consistently gets the necessary power behind kicks but can often miss wide right when he's off. It's not shiny, but it's a pick the Jaguars can hope will address the kicker position into the future.  

213. Los Angeles Rams (compensatory selection): Jordan Whittington, WR, Texas, Grade: C-

Whittington projects as a big slot receiver with excellent toughness from his time in Austin. Injuries early on limited his college career but he has decent athleticism to stick on special teams at the very least. He'll need to improve his separation and route running overall to make it with the Rams in a long-term role.

214. Cincinnati Bengals (compensatory selection): Cedric Johnson, DE, Mississippi, Grade: A-

Pass rushers with Johnson's athletic profile don't usually fall this far in the draft. At 6-3, 260 pounds he boasts elite athleticism and solid sack production (19 in 46 games played). He had different defensive coordinators in each of his final three seasons at Ole Miss. If Cincinnati offers enough stability, he's a high-reward type of rusher who could work in on sub packages.

215. San Francisco 49ers (compensatory selection): Jarrett Kingston, G, USC, Grade: C-

San Francisco goes with versatility again with Kingston, who lined up at both guard and tackle on the right and left side in college. He has the size and tools (excluding his short arms) to develop over time but joins a crowded position group with the 49ers.

216. Dallas Cowboys (compensatory selection): Ryan Flournoy, WR, Southeast Missouri State, Grade: B+

Flournoy's a height-weight-speed athlete who showed off against Ohio Valley Conference competition. His tape against Iowa State and Kansas State weren't bad and he already has the tools as a rotational wide receiver, something rare to find this late in the draft.

217. Los Angeles Rams (compensatory selection): Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas, Grade: B+

Limmer offers Los Angeles plenty of versatility with starts at guard and center in college. He's not an elite athlete but functional enough to hold up against NFL talent. His football IQ and impact in both run blocking and pass protection make him a strong candidate for center. The Rams may move Steve Avila to center this season and Limmer makes for a more than capable backup.

218. Baltimore Ravens (from New York Jets; compensatory selection): Devin Leary, QB, Kentucky, Grade: B-

This is a departure from what Baltimore's often done at the backup quarterback spot. Leary's not a dual-threat quarterback but has NFL arm talent and experience in multiple offensive systems. He can make all the throws necessary at the NFL level but needs to improve his accuracy and timing to stick in the NFL.

219. Buffalo Bills (from Green Bay Packers; compensatory selection): Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State, Grade: C

Buffalo picks up a smaller corner with speed who can run with most any wide receiver he'll face. He could become a future slot defender thanks to his athleticism and ball production (5 interceptions, 25 passes defensed in college). If anything, his return potential is very good and could fill that role in Buffalo as a rookie.

220. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (compensatory selection): Elijah Klein, G, UTEP, Grade: C-

Klein has years of experience with a run-focused scheme with the Miners. He has an NFL frame and long arms that will make him a positive in the run game as a rookie. He will need lots of time to develop as a pass blocker, though, but could eventually become a swing interior offensive lineman for the Buccaneers.

2024 NFL draft picks: Round 7

221. buffalo bills (from kansas city chiefs through carolina panthers, tennessee titans): travis clayton, g, international pathway program, grade: c-.

Can't fault the Bills for using their final pick of the draft on an athletic marvel from the NFL's International Pathway Program. Clayton played soccer and rugby overseas. He's a developmental player who posted and incredible 4.79 40-yard dash time at 6-7 and 307 pounds.

222. Washington Commanders: Javonte Jean-Baptiste, DE, Notre Dame, Grade: B-

Washington's defensive line needs all the help in can get at edge. Jean-Baptiste's motor and quickness are intriguing despite his leaner frame. He plays hard against the run but could struggle to hold up long term. 

223. Las Vegas Raiders (from New England Patriots): Trey Taylor, S, Air Force, Grade: B+

Taylor started all 36 of his college games with Air Force and has good career ball production (6 interceptions, 19 passes defensed). He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the top defensive back in the country. He isn't an elite athlete but quick enough to keep up in the NFL and his instincts will make him a quick fit in Las Vegas.

224. Cincinnati Bengals (from Arizona Cardinals through Houston Texans): Daijahn Anthony, S, Mississippi, Grade: C

Anthony's speed is disappointing given his slender frame. He likely will move to nickel at the NFL level where his aggression, physicality, and ball skills (eight career interceptions) could keep him on the roster in Cincinnati. 

225. Los Angeles Chargers: Brenden Rice, WR, USC, Grade: A

One of the best value picks of Day 3 sees the former Trojan staying in Los Angeles with the Chargers. The son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, he won't wow you with athleticism or physicality, but he finds the end zone regularly. He's efficient out of his breaks but he won't be a contested catch winner. This is a great pickup for Los Angeles for a player projected to go in earlier rounds.

226. Arizona Cardinals (from New York Giants): Jaden Davis, Miami (Fla.), Grade: D+

Davis is undersized but has more than adequate long speed for the NFL. He's not as dynamic laterally and may struggle against stronger or taller wideouts given his short arms on a 5-foot-9 frame. If the Cardinals were set at cornerback with this pick, there were better options on the board.

227. Cleveland Browns (from Tennessee Titans): Myles Harden, CB, South Dakota, Grade: B+

Harden joins a talented defensive back group in Cleveland and should offer nickel versatility early on. He's aggressive and competitive and that shines through with his tackling prowess. His fluid movement skills could see spot time at safety as well as cornerback for the Browns.

228. Baltimore Ravens (from New York Jets): Nick Samac, C, Michigan State, Grade: B-

Samac likely won't start for the Ravens anytime soon but his background makes for a solid backup behind Tyler Linderbaum. He's a standout in the run game but his lack of flexibility and strength could see him struggle in pass protection against NFL competition.

229. Las Vegas Raiders (from Minnesota Vikings): MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh, Grade: B

It's hard to argue with Devonshire's ball production in college: 32 passes defensed and eight interceptions in 50 career games, including just 18 starts. He's an adequate athlete who uses aggression to find the ball and produce in a variety of schemes. At the very least Las Vegas can get solid special teams production from him as a rookie.

230. Minnesota Vikings (from Atlanta Falcons through Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals): Michael Jurgens, C, Wake Forest, Grade: C-

Jurgens lacks the athleticism of some of the other developmental centers on the board but boasts impressive power. His short arms and average lateral quickness could be trouble in pass protection against faster rushers.  

231. New England Patriots (from Chicago Bears): Jaheim Bell, TE, Florida State, Grade: B-

Bell lined up at tight end and fullback with the Seminoles. His blocking is solid in-line but struggles in space. He has the speed to stretch the field after the catch and compares well with Chigoziem Okonkwo's athletic profile. Over time, he'd become a solid No. 2 tight end for the Patriots who continue to build up their pass catching corps.

232. Minnesota Vikings (from Denver Broncos through San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans): Levi Drake Rodriguez, DT, Texas A&M-Commerce, Grade: C-

Rodriguez is a prototypical late-round flyer with tools to contribute on the interior. He needs a lot of development in technique and doesn't have elite strength or length. But he does have strong hands and enough twitch to make a difference over time.

233. Dallas Cowboys (from Las Vegas Raiders): Nathan Thomas, OT, Louisiana-Lafayette, Grade: B+

Thomas has the tools to be a solid tackle. His size, above-average wingspan, and massive hands make him strong at the point of attack. He needs time to develop his discipline and better technique but the Cowboys could provide the infrastructure to do that.

234. Indianapolis Colts: Jonah Laulu, DT, Oklahoma, Grade: B-

Laulu offers the athleticism Indianapolis loves from its prospects. At 6-5 and 292 pounds, Laulu posted a 4.96-second 40-yard dash at the combine. His jumps were impressive as well. With his height and above-average wingspan, he's a solid developmental choice for the Colts inside.

235. Denver Broncos (from Seattle Seahawks): Devaughn Vele, WR, Utah, Grade: B+

Denver gets another field-stretching wide receiver in Vele at No. 235 overall. At 6-foot-4, Vele's height and wingspan give him a standout catch radius despite average jumps. He needs to improve in creating separation given all of his speed but he'll turn 27 in December, making him one of the oldest draftees of the weekend.

236. Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Cole, DE, Texas Tech, Grade: A-

Cole's college production is surprisingly low considering his athletic profile. His height and arm length, along with his power, make him a worthwhile project in the NFL. He needs to develop against the running game as Jacksonville lines him up with fellow edge rushers Travon Walker and Josh Allen. 

237. Cincinnati Bengals: Matt Lee, C, Miami (Fla.), Grade: B-

Lee's lack of power and smaller frame means he could struggle against NFL-caliber athletes. His technique is good enough to keep up as a backup on the interior, especially with his elite pass protection. Cincinnati won't need him to start anytime soon but could provide valuable depth.

238. Houston Texans (from New Orleans Saints): Solomon Byrd, DE, USC, Grade: B

Byrd's quick first step makes up for his average length for the position. His motor and flashes of production give confidence he could develop into a contributor at the NFL level. But he'll need to improve a lot in run defense for Houston to get to that point.

239. New Orleans Saints (from Los Angeles Rams through Denver Broncos): Josiah Ezirim, OT, Eastern Kentucky, Grade: B-

Ezirim's new to the position after starting out as a defensive lineman in college. That aggression from his prior position translates in run blocking, where he excels. He needs time to adjust more to his new position and could be key down the line with Ryan Ramczyk's health a question mark in the future.

240. Carolina Panthers (from Pittsburgh Steelers): Michael Barrett, LB, Michigan, Grade: C+

Michigan's star-studded defense has many players hearing their names called this weekend. Barrett is the latest and has the play speed and physicality teams look for at the position. He'll be a serviceable backup with special teams potential early on in Carolina.

241. Miami Dolphins: Tahj Washington, WR, USC, Grade: C

Another round, another wide receiver with the last name Washington for Miami on Day 3 of the draft. His small frame (174 pounds) at 5-foot-9 likely took him out of consideration for many teams. He projects best as a slot starter but the Dolphins just took a slot wideout in Round 6. This is a good value pick but at a position that's already solidified.

242. Tennessee Titans (from Philadelphia Eagles): James Williams, S, Miami (Fla.), Grade: B

Williams is a tough read on the pro level. He has the size of a linebacker (6-4 and 231 pounds) and the speed to chase down receivers. Tennessee is getting a useful player who will be an aggressive coverage player that can blitz or cover. If he finds a role, this could be a steal for the Titans in Round 7.

243. Cleveland Browns: Jowon Briggs, DT, Cincinnati, Grade: C

Cleveland keeps Briggs in Ohio by taking him at No. 243 overall. The 6-foot-1, 313-pound Briggs gets off the ball quickly with the power to make a difference early on. He needs to work on his rush plan and lacks ideal length.

244. Dallas Cowboys: Justin Rogers, DT, Auburn, Grade: C+

Rogers' powerful, compact frame makes him hard to move off the line. He lacks the range to make a big difference in the run game but can take up enough blockers to open opportunities for others. He'll likely have an early-down role in the league and can shore things up for the Cowboys.

245. Green Bay Packers: Michael Pratt, QB, Tulane, Grade: A-

Pratt was a four-year starter at Tulane and that experience shines through on tape. He's rarely panicked and knows what to do in most every situation. His delivery is quick, clean, and he produces when he's in a rhythm. At the very least, he'll be a top-level backup for the Packers going forward.

246. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devin Culp, TE, Washington, Grade: C-

The Buccaneers end up with another late-round tight end, like they did last year with Payne Durham. Culp's speed is outstanding at 4.47 in the 40-yard dash. That speed comes through on the field. But he lacks blocking skills and needs to improve his consistency at the catch point. Right now, he projects more as a wide receiver, and the Buccaneers are loaded at that position.

247. Houston Texans: Marcus Harris, DT, Auburn, Grade: B

It's a slight surprise that Harris was drafted later than his teammate Rogers given his better production and measurements. Harris led the Tigers in sacks in 2023 with seven and provides a fast first step off the line. His relentless energy, strength, and hands give him rotational upside. 

248. Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo Bills): C.J. Hanson, G, Holy Cross, Grade: C+

After picking up Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, the Chiefs get another backup interior offensive lineman with Hanson. He started 38 games at right guard in college and his quickness in the run game provides a solid foundation. He will need to get stronger to compete against NFL defenders in pass protection.

249. Houston Texans (from Detroit Lions): LaDarius Henderson, G, Michigan, Grade: C

Houston picks up another piece on the offensive line late with Henderson, who provides NFL-level length and size at the position. His first step is impressive and he's built for a zone-blocking scheme.

250. Baltimore Ravens: Sanoussi Kane, S, Purdue, Grade: B

Kane is excellent in the running game with the instincts to diagnose a play quickly. In coverage, he can hang with tight ends but wide receivers could be more of a problem. Baltimore's staff could develop him into an impact starter alongside standout safety Kyle Hamilton. 

251. San Francisco 49ers: Tatum Bethune, LB, Florida State, Grade: B+

Bethune's a hard hitter in the run defense and has the speed to keep up in coverage. His long wingspan and large hands pair well with his fast processing to make for an effective special teamer right away. If he reigns in his aggression a bit, he could become a solid backup for the 49ers. 

252. Tennessee Titans (from Kansas City Chiefs): Jaylen Harrell, DE, Michigan, Grade: C+

Harrell lacks the size you'd prefer for an edge rusher but his production is impressive (a team-high 7.5 sacks for Michigan in 2023). He's a standout straight line athlete with impressive jumps and an above-average wingspan. His effort and profile could make him a sub-package rusher for the Titans.

253. Los Angeles Chargers (compensatory selection): Cornelius Johnson, WR, Michigan, Grade: B

Los Angeles gets another Michigan player with Johnson who boasts impressive athleticism. His route running is solid and his college production is among the best in Michigan's history. Despite his relatively short arms and small hands, he's reliable in 50/50 ball situations. His concentration leads to drops at times but he can grow into role with the Chargers.

254. Los Angeles Rams (compensatory selection): KT Leveston, G, Kansas State, Grade: B+

The Rams continue building up power on the inside with Leveston. Coaches remarked on his growth and maturity as he became a leader over his final two seasons in Manhattan. He's an effective run blocker already and his pass protection skills are improving. Great value for Los Angeles this late in the draft. 

255. Green Bay Packers (compensatory selection): Kalen King, CB, Penn State, Grade: C-

King famously had a rough time against Marvin Harrison Jr. this past season after a standout year in 2022. His downfield speed and fluidity are lacking so he's better in physicality around the line of scrimmage. He may be better served at moving to safety but the Packers are more than stocked at the position.

256. Denver Broncos (from New York Jets, compensatory selection): Nick Gargiulo, C, South Carolina, Grade: B

Gargiulo started at both center and left guard for the Gamecocks in 2023. He's a great mover but doesn't have the power to control defenders in the run game. He works best in a zone scheme and offers versatility in a backup role for the Broncos.

257. New York Jets (compensatory selection): Jaylen Key, S, Alabama, Grade: C+

Key, this year's Mr. Irrelevant, has NFL size and strength with the athleticism to handle many routes. He can operate well in the box, especially against the run, but doesn't have the fluidity and speed to handle receivers in coverage. The Jets get another developmental defensive back to close the 2024 NFL Draft.
