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.

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.

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…
