  2. 'A vertical weapon'published at 04:55 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Xavier Legette on Sky Sports: “This is a big physical receiver. A vertical weapon who wins a lot of 50/50 balls. Speed, physicality, size – that’s going to be what he majors in.”

  3. Pick 32 - Carolina Panthers pick Xavier Legettepublished at 04:52 British Summer Time 26 April

    Wide receiver - South Carolina

    In the final pick of tonight's opening round, the Carolina Panthers have picked wide receiver Xavier Legette.

    The Panthers have traded with the Buffalo Bills for the final pick, with the Bills earlier surrendering pick 28 to allow the Kansas City Chiefs the chance to draft Xavier Worthy.

    Speaking of Worthy, someone not far behind his impressive 40-yard desh speed is Legette, who posted a time of 4.32 seconds at the NFL combine.

    He has plenty of family support with him as he celebrates being the final pick of this opening round.

  4. 'A really good player'published at 04:48 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Ricky Pearsall on Sky Sports: “He’s coming off a great year. When you watch him, he’s so crisp when he gets to the top of his route. Outstanding hands – he’s a really good player.”

  5. Pick 31 - San Francisco 49ers pick Ricky Pearsallpublished at 04:46 British Summer Time 26 April

    Wide receiver - Florida

    The San Francisco 49ers have picked wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the penultimate selection of the first round of the draft.

    Pearsall, drafted from Florida, has speed and plenty of athleticism to match it, as well as showing cool hands and being able to take important catches while running.

    The final pick is shortly upon us and another potential trade is on the cards...

  6. 'A very dynamic athlete'published at 04:44 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Nate Wiggins on Sky Sports: “He’s a pure cover corner. A very dynamic athlete. His testing numbers were excellent – he’s very fluid in his movement as he keeps his eyes on the quarterback. The issues are some of the tackling – but the Ravens will coach you out of that very quickly”

  7. Pick 30 - Baltimore Ravens pick Nate Wigginspublished at 04:40 British Summer Time 26 April

    Cornerback - Clemson

    The Baltimore Ravens have added to their defence with the pick of versatile cornerback Nate Wiggins from Clemson.

    A brief showreel of clips of Wiggins shows how he utilizes his acceleration in defensive situations to be able to make interceptions, block passes and turn the ball over.

    The Ravens finished top of the AFC standings last season and may have made another smart move with the pick of Wiggins.

  8. 'One of the best players I've ever coached'published at 04:38 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Tyler Guyton on Sky Sports: "He is one of the best players I've ever coached."

  9. Pick 29 - Dallas Cowboys pick Tyler Guytonpublished at 04:35 British Summer Time 26 April

    Tackle - Oklohoma

    Dallas Cowboys have picked Tyler Guyton as this first round almost draws to a close.

    At almost 6' 8" and north of 300 lbs, what Guyton has that almost many other players of his stature do not is impressive athleticism.

    The last few picks of this draft are coming in very quickly after another eventful opening night in the NFL draft.

  10. 'Andy Reid will know everything about this kid'published at 04:33 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Xavier Worthy on Sky Sports: "Worthy has the toughness, it shows when the ball stands up and it also shows as a returner. Andy Reid will know everything about this kid."

  11. Pick 28 - Kansas City Chiefs pick Xavier Worthypublished at 04:31 British Summer Time 26 April

    Wide receiver - Texas

    The Kansas City Chiefs have picked wide receiver Xavier Worthy from Texas.

    Defending Super Bowl champions Chiefs had been due to have the final pick of this draft, but have traded up four places in a trade with the Buffalo Bills, who will receive an additional third-round pick tomorrow.

    What the Chiefs have managed to do is add serious speed to their offensive line. Worthy set a 40-yard dash record at the combine earlier this year, posting a time of 4.21 seconds.

  12. 'Ready to get to Arizona'published at 04:27 British Summer Time 26 April

    Arizona edge rusher Darius Robinson, speaking to NFL network: “I’m ready to get to Arizona as soon as possible. I need to bring that energy, be a good team-mate and help us win games”

  13. 'Robinson is very physical against the run'published at 04:25 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Darius Robinson on Sky Sports: “He’s very physical against the run, you can’t really block him. He’s got range to run all over the field – a fun versatile chess piece for the Cardinals.”

  14. Pick 27 - Arizona Cardinals pick Darius Robinsonpublished at 04:22 British Summer Time 26 April

    Edge - Missouri

    Arizona Cardinals have selected edge Darius Robinson as the 27th first-round pick of the 2024 draft.

    Robinson had career highs for sacks and tackles in 2023 for Missouri and although he's tall and has a strong frame, he is relatively quick off the ground too, with a 40-yard dash time still below five seconds.

    Robinson's pick is also the final pick of players in the green room in Detroit tonight.

  15. 'Future Pro-Bowler'published at 04:22 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Graham Barton on Sky Sports: “I think his future is a centre. I think he can be a Pro-Bowl centre.”

  16. Pick 26 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Graham Bartonpublished at 04:19 British Summer Time 26 April

    Centre - Duke

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers have looked to bolster offensive line with the strength of centre Graham Barton from Duke.

    Standing at over 6' 5" and weighing north of 300 pounds, the Buccaneers have looked to add a very physical option in the first round of this draft.

  17. 'A very athletic, smooth mover'published at 04:14 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Jordan Morgan on Sky Sports: "He can really play guard or tackle. He's been coming back from injury this season. He's a very athletic, smooth mover. It's his quick-footedness and athleticism. I don't think he's a very super violent, physical player."

  18. Pick 25 - Green Bay Packers select Jordan Morganpublished at 04:13 British Summer Time 26 April

    Tackle - Arizona

    Jordan Love has another bodyguard to protect him in Green Bay as the Packers look to improve on last season's play-off run.

    Morgan is yet another big man but again he's deceptively quick for a big man and has the power you'd expect from someone of his size.

  19. 'We're going to win the Super Bowl'published at 04:09 British Summer Time 26 April

    Cornerback Terrion Arnold after being drafted by the Detroit Lions speaking to NFL Network: "I just want to say Detroit, hey, I'm home! These fans are going to be crazy man.

    "We're going to win the Super Bowl. It's amazing, we're going to go crazy."

  20. 'Arnold will soak up that pressure'published at 04:07 British Summer Time 26 April

    Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Terrion Arnold on Sky Sports: "There's guys that like football, there's guys that love football and then there is Terrion Arnold. He is going to soak up all of that passion when he is out there in front of this home crowd. I think they've drafted so well in the last few years and they've just smashed another one out of the park."
