Teams have their lists of players that they’ll bang the table for on draft day. Last year, this big board tried to rank players regardless of positional value. To adjust for what makes more sense from a team-building perspective, this year the 2024 NFL Draft big board will account for positional value and truly capture the order in which these players should be drafted.<\/p>\n
Caleb Williams, QB, South California<\/strong><\/p>\n Jayden Daniels, QB, Louisiana State<\/strong><\/p>\n Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State<\/strong><\/p>\n Malik Nabers, WR, Louisiana State\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Alt, WR, Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n Jer’Zhan Newton, IDL, Illinois<\/strong><\/p>\n Rome Odunze, WR, Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n Each of these quarterbacks is a first round talent with a bullet. Last year, Bryce Young had some pretty serious red flags that pushed him down the board. This year, there’s a clear path that these players can win and in the right system they can grow into franchise players. Each of the top three wide receivers has a case to be one of the best prospects of the last ten drafts, which is absurd to say. There’s not an edge rusher that deserves to be here, but Joe Alt is a plug and play tackle with top tier traits and technique that are awesome to see in such a young player. Finally, Jer’Zhan Newton is as disruptive as they come, and in a league that is hurting for interior presence, Newton has it all.<\/p>\n Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo<\/strong><\/p>\n Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State<\/strong><\/p>\n Cooper DeJean, CB\/S, Iowa<\/strong><\/p>\n Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA<\/strong><\/p>\n Byron Murphy, IDL, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State<\/strong><\/p>\n Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Louisiana State<\/strong><\/p>\n Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n This class is flush with corners and receivers, and there’s an argument to be had for more receivers to be in this list. Fuaga and Fashanu are on opposite ends of the spectrum, between Fashanu being a crystal clear pass blocker and Fuaga being a mauler in the run game. Bowers will make a team decide how much they value a chess piece of a weapon, but in a creative system he will be a problem for defenses.<\/p>\nEarly to Mid First Round Grades (10 to 21)<\/h3>\n
