After trading up to Dallas’ spot at No. 20, the Eagles selected USC WR Makai Lemon.


The Vikings selected DL Caleb Banks at No. 18. NFL teams received a letter this week stating that, after a CT scan on Tuesday, Banks is “on pace to be fully cleared for full football activities in early June” as he recovers from a surgically repaired bone in his left foot.


At No. 17, the Lions selected Clemson OT Blake Miller.


At No. 15, the Buccaneers selected Miami DE Rueben Bain Jr.


At No. 14, the Ravens selected Penn State G Olaivavega Ioane.


With the 11th pick in the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys trade up to select Caleb Downs ⭐



At No. 9 with the pick they acquired from the Chiefs, the Browns selected Utah OT Spencer Fano. Cleveland got the player it wanted and added third- and fifth-round picks in this draft. More offensive help expected at No. 24.


Ohio State’s Carnell Tate is the first wide receiver off the board tonight, going No. 4 to Tennessee.



NFL GMs discount future picks because they may not be GM when the pick materializes. Discount factors vary by job security: secure GMs rebuilding discount least, GMs on the hot seat discount most. I try to create an economic framework to explain this: footballanalyticsnerd.com/assets/NFLDisc…
