Every draft pick on day 2 of the 2024 NFL draft

A look at every selection on Day 2, with several Michigan Wolverines, Florida State Seminoles, and Washington Huskies leading the way.

Day 2 of the 2024 NFL draft started with a pair of wide receivers coming off the board to continue the trend from Day 1.

It was Florida State’s Keon Coleman who came off the board for the Buffalo Bills, who needed to get quarterback Josh Allen some help on the outside. Following the Bills’ first selection of the NFL draft, the Chargers went for a wide receiver as well with Ladd McConkey of Georgia.

The Michigan Wolverines finally saw some talent come off the board with a total of six draft selections. Three of those picks came in succession during the third round. The Wolverines’ national championship opponents, the Washington Huskies’ count moved up to six with four selections in rounds two and three.

The Florida State Seminoles also had plenty of players come off the board starting with the aforementioned Keon Coleman. A total of four Noles were selected on Day 2.

Here is the full breakdown of every Day 2 selection:

2022 NFL draft: Watch highlights of new Chargers safety JT Woods

Get familiar with the newest member of the Los Angeles Chargers, JT Woods.

The Chargers addressed the secondary with their pick of former Baylor safety JT Woods at No. 79 overall.

At 6-foot-1 and 188 pounds, Woods posted elite testing numbers of a 4.36 40 and 39.5-inch vertical jump.

Woods recorded six interceptions last season for the Bears, showing just how much he can do with his hands.

These highlights exemplify his good ball skills and play-making ability:

Woods is an incredible rangy safety who can cover a lot of ground in a hurry.

While he isn’t known for his tackling prowess, Woods comes downhill, puts his pads down, and crushes receivers over the middle.

He had 57 tackles and eight passes defended to go with all those picks last season.

Woods has concerns as a tackler, as he falls off too many but there are plenty of positives to his game.

– Explosive and lengthy athlete with speed & range to erase the entire field

– Ball skills to pluck passes out of the air

– Could match up against tight ends

– Good pre-snap communicator

– Eyes to play through traffic

He could be a cornerback convert if he can’t improve as a tackler, but I trust the development from the coaches. If everything clicks, Woods has the potential to be a good one to play single-high and lock down the deep parts of the field in this league.
