2024 NFL Draft Big Board
By Kevin Hanson (@EDSFootball)
Updated: Sunday, May 21, 2023
We will update our ranking of 2024 NFL Draft prospects throughout the course of the 2023 college football season, all-star games, NFL scouting combine, etc. and leading up to the draft. Much will change between now and next April.
These rankings are not a projection of where each player will be drafted in 2024, but my way-too-early 2024 NFL Mock Draft attempts to project the first round.
Here are some stats based on our initial top-100 prospect rankings:
- Ohio State (12) had the most prospects in our top 100.
- Five other schools — Georgia (nine), Clemson (seven), USC (six), Texas (five) and Michigan (five) all have five or more prospects on this list.
- 20 different schools had multiple prospects in the top 100.
- WR, CB and IDL all tied for the most prospects by any position (11).
- TE and LB tied for the fewest prospects by any position (five).
| Rank | Prospect | Pos. | School | Hgt | Wgt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Caleb Williams | QB | USC | 6'1" | 215 |
| 2 | Drake Maye | QB | North Carolina | 6'5" | 220 |
| 3 | Marvin Harrison Jr. | WR | Ohio State | 6'4" | 205 |
| 4 | Joe Alt | OT | Notre Dame | 6'8" | 317 |
| 5 | Olu Fashanu | OT | Penn State | 6'6" | 323 |

2025 NFL Mock Draft: An Early Look at Some Potential First-Rounders
By Kevin Hanson (@EDSFootball)
Updated: Saturday, May 20, 2023
Many will say it's "way too early" to post a 2024 NFL mock draft. While those people are probably right, we didn't listen.
Those same people would surely say that it's "way too early" to post a 2025 NFL mock draft. We tend to agree, but it doesn't mean that we can't talk about some true freshmen from the 2022 college football season that will become draft-eligible in 2025.
Of course, there's no guarantee that these true freshmen will declare, once eligible, but here are a few names that you might hear when the 2025 draft rolls around.
Since any future draft discussion should begin with quarterbacks, there are two true sophomores who will become full-time starters in 2023 and could put themselves in position to be the top overall pick when the draft rolls around in 2025 (or when they declare).
Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson
The former five-star recruit from Westlake H.S. (alma mater of Drew Brees, Nick Foles and Sam Ehlinger) took over for DJ Uiagalelei, who was benched in the ACC Championship Game (and other games earlier in the season), and started in the Orange Bowl to close the season. With Uiagalelei transferring to Oregon State, Klubnik enters 2023 as Clemson's unquestioned starter. Klubnik flashed in his limited opportunities, but his mobility and ability to make all the throws should make him a highly-coveted prospect when he declares for the NFL Draft, whether that's in 2025 or later. If he's not the first quarterback off the board, the biggest competitor at this early juncture is ...

2024 NFL Mock Draft
By Kevin Hanson (@EDSFootball)
Updated: Tuesday, May 9, 2023
The 2024 NFL Draft is roughly a year away, but it's never too early to look ahead to how things could play out.
Of course, at this point, there is a lot we don't know — what the draft order will be, who will be signed/lost in free agency next March, who will declare (or return) in 2024, etc.
Note: Draft order is from Tankathon.
This mock will be updated often between now and next April 25th, but for now, this is how the 2024 draft could play out.
1. Arizona Cardinals: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
With Kyler Murray under contract through the 2028 season, the Cardinals would face an interesting dilemma should they hold the top two picks in the 2024 NFL draft. Williams is the overwhelming favorite (-550) to be the top pick in next year's draft and would have been the QB1 had he been eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft.
Source: Odds from Bovada
Williams is an accurate passer with the arm strength to make all the throws, but his ability to extend plays and create for himself is what really makes him special. Get ready for lots of Patrick Mahomes comparisons over the next year. Following his head coach from Oklahoma allowed him to acclimate quickly to his new surroundings as he threw 42 touchdowns and ran for 10 more scores in his Heisman Trophy-winning sophomore campaign.

2. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
The son of a Hall-of-Famer, Harrison Jr. has an ideal combination of size, speed, hands and body control to be an elite difference-making wide receiver at the next level. He finished his true sophomore campaign with 77 catches for 1,263 yards (16.4 Y/R) and 14 touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins, subject of pre-draft trade rumors, remains a Cardinal, but Marquise Brown is slated to become a free agent after the 2023 season.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Maye is the leading challenger to Williams for the QB1 honor in 2024, and he is coming off a breakout true sophomore season (4,321 passing yards, 38 touchdowns and seven interceptions with 698 rushing yards and seven touchdowns). Baker Mayfield is on a one-year deal, and former second-round pick Kyle Trask has nine career pass attempts. If the Bucs are picking third overall in 2024, this pick will almost certainly be a quarterback.
4. Los Angeles Rams: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Many expected Fashanu to be the first offensive tackle off the board in 2023 before he announced he was returning to Penn State. While Notre Dame's Joe Alt is in the mix to be the OT1, Fashanu has an impressive combination of size, length, power and athleticism to become a franchise left tackle.

The 2023 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror, and soon we will turn our attention to the 2024 NFL Draft.
