The 2024 NFL Draft boasts a promising group of quarterbacks and even more high-end prospects at wide receiver and tackle, making this one of the best collections of offensive talent we’ve seen in a long time.
Meanwhile, the best-regarded prospects on the defensive side of the ball are the big guys in the middle and at cornerback. Standouts at edge rusher and traditional off-ball linebacker are few and far between.
The deadline for underclassmen to declare has passed, so we know who’s eligible. NFL teams have until the draft on April 25-27 to set their respective boards. But now that the prospect list is settled, we aren’t waiting that long to unveil our favorites.
Below are my rankings of the top 50 prospects available for the 2024 NFL Draft.

A dynamic dual-threat playmaker with the improvisational skills and arm talent to justify comparisons to Patrick Mahomes, Williams is the most gifted quarterback in this class and a potential franchise-changer.
2. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State — 6-4, 208, Junior
A receiver has not been selected in the top three since Calvin Johnson was the No. 2 pick back in 2007, but one could make a strong case that Harrison is the best prospect in this class. Tall, agile, explosive and sure-handed, Harrison is even more polished at this stage of his career than his Hall of Fame father was coming out of Syracuse back in 1996.
3. Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina — 6-4, 230, Redshirt Sophomore
While perhaps not quite as gifted as Williams when plays go off-script, Maye is a quality athlete in his own right with a prototypical NFL combination of size, anticipation, accuracy and arm strength.
Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. registers 163 yards and one TD in win vs. Maryland
4. Malik Nabers, WR, LSU — 6-0, 200, Junior
Capable of beating defenders with his speed, elusiveness…
