2024 NFL Draft: Top 100 Players
The 2024 NFL Draft class is nearing its conclusion, and the final big board has been released. While there are some areas where the class may be lacking, such as linebackers, several exciting prospects are available at crucial positions.
Quarterbacks
Drake Maye and Caleb Williams are widely considered the top quarterbacks in the class. Maye is a dynamic athlete with excellent pocket movement and aggression downfield. Williams possesses impressive playmaking ability and a natural feel for the game.
EDGE Rushers
Korey Foreman is the top-rated EDGE rusher in the class. He is a disruptive pass rusher with violent hands and the ability to produce immediately in the NFL. However, injury concerns, including a Jones fracture in his foot, could impact his draft stock.
Cornerbacks
Alabama’s Kool-Aid McKinstry is one of the best cornerbacks in the class, particularly in press alignment. Unfortunately, a Jones fracture in his foot has prevented him from participating in the pre-draft process, potentially impacting his evaluation.
Other Notable Prospects
Other highly-rated prospects include UCLA EDGE Laiatu Latu, who is facing similar injury concerns as McKinstry. Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy is a talented quarterback, but his ranking may suffer due to the depth at the position in this draft class.
Evaluations and Health
Injury concerns are a significant theme among the top defensive players in this draft. Teams will need to carefully evaluate these prospects and determine the severity of their injuries. Health will be a major factor in determining their draft stock and potential impact at the NFL level.
