Mel Kiper Jr. Hails Eagles and Questions 49ers, Patriots After 2024 NFL Draft Day 2

Day 2 of the NFL draft is in the books and with it comes analysis and grades from leading experts in the industry.

The first day of the draft began with an expected move from the Chicago Bears, who drafted Caleb Williams with the first pick. Much of the top five went as expected with Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye following Williams, but there were some surprising moves elsewhere in the first round.

The Atlanta Falcons drafted quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 pick despite signing Kirk Cousins earlier this offseason. In total, the first round saw six quarterbacks off the board.
