Spencer Rattler, Joe Milton III's Top Landing Spots After Day 2 of 2024 NFL Draft

After Day 2 of the 2024 NFL draft, there are still several intriguing players available.

Although six quarterbacks were selected with the initial 12 picks in the first round on Thursday, no signal-callers were taken in the second or third round on Friday.

In other words, several experienced quarterbacks remain on the board entering Day 3.

This includes South Carolina's Spencer Rattler and Tennessee's Joe Milton III, two players who could hear their names called early in the fourth round. Prior to the draft, Rattler ranked as the No. 6 quarterback on the final big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. As for Milton, he ranked No. 10 among the prospects at his position.

Here are the top landing spots for each quarterback after the second and third round have been completed.

Rattler's slide is surprising, as he was given a third-round grade from B/R NFL Scout Derrik Klassen in his scouting report of the 23-year-old.

"Overall, Rattler's arm is too enticing to pass up for too long," Klassen wrote. "There are only a handful of players who throw with his flexibility and arm strength and accuracy. Rattler has the aggressive mindset to be a difference maker, too."

In 12 games with the Gamecocks during the 2023 season, Rattler completed 68.9 percent of his throws for 3,186 yards. He recorded 19 touchdown passes compared to eight interceptions, finding the end zone four more times on the ground.

These three teams could attempt to target Rattler on Saturday:

Las Vegas Raiders

On Wednesday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that Rattler "could very much be in play for the Raiders down the board." Las Vegas selected Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the No. 13 overall pick, although the team still doesn't have a clear-cut starter.

Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew are expected to compete for the Raiders' starting quarterback job in 2024, although Rattler may have more upside as he's younger than both players. General manager Tom Telesco could be intrigued by his potential after his team narrowly missed out on the run of quarterbacks to open the draft.

New York Giants

NFL insider Jordan Schultz revealed that Rattler visited with the Giants prior to the draft. With New York picking LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers with the No. 5 selection, the team could be interested in adding the former South Carolina passer as a backup behind Daniel Jones.

While Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito are both serviceable reserves, head coach Brian Daboll might want a second-string quarterback with the throwing velocity that Rattler possesses.

Seattle Seahawks

Schultz also reported that the Seahawks hosted Rattler on a visit, as Seattle could be a possible destination. While Geno Smith is firmly entrenched as the team's 2024 starter, Rattler could look to beat out Sam Howell and earn a backup role as a rookie.

With Smith turning 34 years old in the middle of the 2024 season, Rattler may sit behind the veteran for a few years before eventually taking over the starting job.

Joe Milton III

Milton showcased his talent as a dual-threat quarterback in 2023, throwing for 2,813 yards and 20 touchdowns while rushing for 299 yards and seven more scores. He also completed 64.7 percent of his 354 pass attempts as a senior.

His athleticism was on full display at Tennessee's pro day on March 27, recording a 40-yard dash time of 4.55 seconds.

Here are three teams that could pick him on Day 3 of the draft:

Cleveland Browns

While the Browns have a crowded quarterback room that includes Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley behind Deshaun Watson, Cleveland previously hosted Milton for a visit and could take a flier on him in one of the later round.

With Watson appearing in just 12 total games throughout two seasons with the Browns, Milton could compete for the second-string role and potentially see the field as a rookie.

New Orleans Saints

The Saints could target Milton, as their quarterback room doesn't inspire much confidence behind Derek Carr. While Carr's contract ensures that he'll remain New Orleans' starter in 2024, the former Tennessee passer could sit on the bench and become accumulated to the NFL as a rookie.

Then, Milton could realistically compete for the starting job once his sophomore season begins.

Baltimore Ravens

After losing Huntley to the Browns in free agency, the Ravens don't have a strong backup behind Lamar Jackson heading into the 2024 season. Josh Johnson is currently the team's top reserve, although he'll be 38 years old once training camp begins.

While Milton's chances of eventually taking over Jackson's starting slot in the future are incredibly slim, Baltimore's front office could be intrigued by his athleticism and select him on Day 3.
