- Day 2 recap: Rumors, trades and picks from Rounds 2-3
- Full draft order: All 257 picks by team
101. Raiders: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
Grade: A+
McCoy is one of the 10 best prospects in this draft class, but the medicals caused him to slide. The Raiders determined that the fourth round was the point where they were comfortable taking the risk.
102. Bills: Jude Bowry, OT, Boston College
Grade: A
Bowry is a big, powerful offensive lineman who brings versatility to Buffalo's offensive line after the team lost David Edwards in free agency. His best tape may have been in 2024.
103. Jets: Darrell Jackson Jr., DT, Florida State
Grade: B
Jackson's final season in Tallahassee did not live up to the hype, but there could be some untapped potential for Aaron Glenn and Co. Jackson can get upfield quickly as the team rebuilds its defense.
104. Cardinals: Kaleb Proctor, DT, Southeastern Louisiana
Grade: B
Proctor has some serious potential as an interior rusher, but he's a bit undersized and can get washed out of run fits. Arizona will be able to get after teams with Walter Nolen and Proctor on the field together on passing downs.
105. Chargers: Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State
Grade: C+
Thompson has some serious speed and will be able to create separation, but lacks the size.
106. Texans: Febechi Nwaiwu, G, Oklahoma
Grade: C-
Nwaiwu brings some versatility to the offensive line, but there were better players at his position on the board. Houston continues re-making its offensive line.
107. 49ers: Gracen Halton, DT, Oklahoma
Grade: C+
The league apparently got together and determined that this is where upfield-charging defensive tackles should be taken. Halton comes off the board shortly after Kaleb Proctor. San Francisco wasn't happy with its interior play last year and has addressed it in a big way.
108. Broncos: Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
Grade: B+
Coleman is only the fourth running back to be taken in a historically down draft for the position. Denver adds to the room for the second consecutive year after taking R.J. Harvey a year ago.
109. Chiefs: Jadon Canady, CB, Oregon
Grade: B-
Canady is an aggressive, versatile defensive back who often finds himself around the football. Kansas City is obviously having to replace Trent McDuffie and other lost pieces in that secondary.
110. Jets: Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
Grade: B+
Klubnik actually became underrated throughout the process. He was never a first-round prospect, which left people free to talk him down. He can be an efficient processor as the Jets chase stability from the position
111. Broncos: Kage Casey, OT, Boise State
Grade: A
Casey was announced as a tackle, but he has the capability to kick inside to guard like former Boise State Bronco Ezra Cleveland before him. Casey is a personal favorite at this stage.
112. Cowboys: Drew Shelton, OT, Penn State
Grade: A-
Shelton is an athletic player with a relatively high floor in terms of technical refinement. Dallas has historically done well drafting and developing offensive linemen, so this is a good spot for him to reach that potential.
113. Colts: Jalen Farmer, G, Kentucky
Grade: B+
Farmer is a powerful interior player who will lean on defenders in the run game and create roadways for Jonathan Taylor. He has the athleticism to improve in the pass game as well. Good developmental player landing in a place that has done well developing offensive linemen
114. Cowboys: Devin Moore, CB, Florida
Grade: B+
Moore is a really skilled, long boundary cornerback. The potential is really
