The marquee names in the 2024 NFL draft have already found their landing spots, but there's no shortage of top talent still available after the first round.
A historic run on quarterbacks helped push down several players who had been considered solid bets to make the Day 1 cut. And while this class' depth might be hurt by having just 58 early entrants – the lowest total since 2011 – there still are several prospects who figure to be potential quality starters in short order.
USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates as picks are made throughout the second and third rounds on the best players still available. Here's a look at the top options left on the board.
2024 NFL draft: Best players available
35. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Any team looking to open up its offense might gravitate toward Franklin, who will make his living picking up yardage in chunks on deep shots. The 6-2, 176-pounder can mix in some quick hits for run-after-catch opportunities, but he likely will be more of a complementary piece in a passing attack rather than a focal point.

41. Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas
The 6-4, 245-pounder looks bound to follow many other college tight ends in essentially becoming a supersized receiver who is most often split wide and asked to do little as a blocker. That role should still leave him plenty of opportunities to make his mark, however, as Sanders can create mismatches all over the field in the passing game.
48. T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State
At 6-1 and 189 pounds, Tampa has the tools and mentality to drape himself around receivers at the line of scrimmage and catch point. His long speed could leave him vulnerable in some matchups, but he could thrive as a playmaker in zone coverage.
64. Brandon Dorlus, DT, Oregon
68. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State
74. Christian Jones, OT, Texas
75. Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
80. Javon Baker, WR, UCF
84. Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
87. Austin Booker, DE, Kansas
88. Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina
90. Theo Johnson, TE, Penn State
91. Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU
92. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech
94. Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri
95. Malik Wasington, WR, Virginia
98. Mohamed Kamara, DE/OLB, Colorado State
102. D.J. James, CB, Auburn
103. Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon
104. Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
105. Brenden Rice, WR, USC
106. Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame
107. Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College
108. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville
109. Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina
110. Tanner McLachlan, TE, Arizona
112. Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest
114. Jared Wiley, TE, TCU
116. Jarvis Brownlee Jr., CB, Louisville
117. Malik Mustapha, S, Wake Forest
118. Brennan Jackson, DE, Washington State
120. Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona
122. Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame
123. Cade Stover, TE, Ohio State
124. Mason McCormick, G, South Dakota State
125. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State
