  The Dallas Cowboys add to a recent string of first round picks on the offensive line that have hit — Tyron Smith (2011), Zach Martin (2014) — and hope they’ve found the next Pro Bowler on the O-Line

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 27 — Darius Robinson

  • Draft Grade: C

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 62

  • School: Missouri

  • Height: 6′ 5″

  • Weight: 285

  Robinson isn’t a bad player, but he’s not the most dynamic guy on the defensive line. He’s a steady player who should be a solid piece for the Cardinals’ defensive line rotation, but that’s not necessarily the type of player that feels like a need in the first round. Still, he’s someone that will help the Cardinals up front.

  The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs moved up from No. 32 to No. 28 to take speedy WR Xavier Worthy in the wake of the potential legal trouble facing Rashee Rice stemming from a car crash in Texas

  The Cardinals add to their pass rush group with another pick from an SEC school

  The Buccaneers are set at the pivot for the first time since the retirement of Super Bowl center Ryan Jensen

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 25 — Jordan Morgan

  • Draft Grade: C+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 25

  • School: Arizona

  • Height: 6′ 5″

  • Weight: 311

  This is a very safe pick for the Packers. Morgan needs to develop some strength as he enters the NFL, but should have the footwork and skill to at least be a quality pass blocker. It just feels like there might have been more juice to squeeze here with some of the defensive players still on the board.

  Expert Commentary: Pick Np. 25 — Graham Barton

  • Draft Grade: A

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 12

  • School: Duke

  • Height: 6′ 5″

  • Weight: 313

  Barton is a stud offensive lineman who can play all five positions up front. He was announced as a center, so he may wind up on the interior after playing left tackle at Duke, but he’s well-equipped for the move. He’s the most versatile lineman in the draft and the Buccaneers may have just gotten a steal.

  The Packers, who’s pick was met with a chorus of boos in Detroit, beefed up their offensive line. Packers fans will get the chance to return the favor next year when the NFL Draft heads to Green Bay

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 8:10 PM MST

  Bo Nix is the most experienced starting quarterback in NCAA history with 61 starts under center at Auburn and Oregon, where he developed into a First-Team All-Pac-12 performer in his final year in Eugene, but what will his fit be like with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos? Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew talked about how Nix would fit as a replacement for Russell Wilson in the Mile High City.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 23 — Brian Thomas Jr.

  • Draft Grade: B+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 15

  • School: LSU

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 209

  The Jaguars get brownie points for trading down here. Thomas is an explosive wide receiver who has the physical frame that the Jaguars needed in their wide receiver room. Thomas is a bit raw on some of the finer points of wide receiver play, but there’s no doubting his potential to be a truly dynamic playmaker in the NFL.

  Detroit got cheers from the hometown crowd when they traded up with the Cowboys to their defensive backfield

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 8:01 PM MST

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 22 — Quinyon Mitchell

  • Draft Grade: A+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 13

  • School: Toledo

  • Height: 6′ 0″

  • Weight: 195

  This pick might be the steal of the draft when we look back. The Eagles just got a cornerback prospect who checks all the boxes that a team could want for a cornerback prospect — from production to athleticism. Mitchell is the exact type of prospect the Eagles needed to add and has real shutdown potential in the NFL.

  Another LSU wide receiver goes in the first round and Trevor Lawerence has another weapon on the outside

• Thu, April 25, 2024 at 7:54 PM MST

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 21 — Chop Robinson

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 26

  • School: Penn St.

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 254

  Robinson is a raw pass rusher, but he’s found himself in a good spot playing for new Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Robinson has all the tools in the world to become an elite pass rusher in the NFL if he can get a few signature moves down. The Dolphins also have some nice insurance in case Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips have a slow return from injury.

  Philadelphia addresses a huge need in their defensive backfield, taking the first corner back off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft

  Brock Bowers was a massive star at Georgia and a key cog on the Bulldogs’ back-to-back national championship teams, but was he the right pick for the the Raiders? Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live Crew weighs in on the Raiders pick.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 19 — Jared Verse

  • Draft Grade: B

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 21

  • School: Florida St.

  • Height: 6′ 4″

  • Weight: 254

  This is a very safe, solid pick for the Rams at this point in the draft. Verse is a high-floor player for the Rams that fits in well with the players they have up front. The Rams were looking at an offensive player earlier in the process, but they ended up with a stud pass rusher who immediately makes them better.

  The Steelers have made their first round selection, and they’ve added to their offensive line to help protect new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields
