Already talk from a few media outlets of teams tanking for the top 2 QBs but early projections are showing as many as 5/6 could be 1st round material. What's interesting is most teams now have their franchise guy with the exception of a few........Falcons, Bucs and Commanders only have band-aid guys so they will be looking. The Jets, Raiders, Broncos, Bears, Dolphins, Cardinals and Rams could def look to draft one high depending on how their season shakes out.

The action during the 2022 college football season has indicated just how great the 2024 NFL Draft prospect pool should be. Here are the top 50 to watch.
If the 2022 college football season was any indication, the 2024 NFL Draft could be a franchise-changing event for many teams. On the heels of a 2023 class that lacked blue-chip talent, the early returns of the projected 2024 group are extremely promising. And there’s only more to come.

Maye has a smooth, effortless throwing motion and can evade rushers and create at a high clip, despite his 6’4″, 220-pound frame. His ability to torque off-platform is superb.
Verse, who logged nine sacks and 17 TFLs in 2022, has it all in his arsenal: Burst, length, power, bend, and supremely quick and active hands at contact.

Top 50 2024 NFL Draft Prospect Watchlist: Brock Bowers, Caleb Williams Highlight the Stars of Tomorrow

2024 NFL Draft Prospects To Watch
Will the 2023 NFL Draft fading behind us, the 2024 NFL Draft cycle now comes into focus. There’s still plenty more studying left to do, but already, a top group is starting to emerge from the haze. Who are the top prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class, as it stands? And who is best positioned to go early next April?1) Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Coming off a season with 4,537 passing yards, 42 scores, and just five picks, Caleb Williams already has the production profile of a first-overall pick. At 6’1″, 215 pounds, he’s an off-platform ninja with rare creative feel and a hose for an arm. Williams’ ability to produce off-script is surpassed only by his layering ability — both franchise-caliber traits.2) Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Being a Hall of Famer’s son can generate an exorbitant amount of pressure, but Marvin Harrison Jr. has already proven he can handle it. Early on, he looks like a blue-chip NFL prospect in the mold of A.J. Green. At 6’4″, 205 pounds, Harrison makes unnatural things like sinking, separating, and converting at the catch point look absolutely effortless.3) Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Having completed 342 of 517 passes for 4,321 yards, 38 scores, and seven picks in 2022, Drake Maye is one of those quarterbacks who makes it look easy, both as an athlete and as a passer.MORE: FREE NFL Mock Draft Simulator (With Trades)

4) Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State
It’s rare for offensive tackle prospects to “look the part” as much as Penn State’s Olumuyiwa Fashanu does coming out of his redshirt sophomore season. At 6’6″, 321 pounds, Fashanu hits all the size thresholds. But he’s also a superb athlete with the mobility and flexibility to match and recover against rushers and the violent hands to suffocate rushes.5) J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama
Most preseason lists don’t have J.C. Latham quite this high, but the Alabama OT has the talent to follow in the footsteps of other Crimson Tide first-rounders before him. He’s unnaturally explosive and nimble on his feet for his 6’6″, 335-pound frame, and his unending physicality serves as a channeling module for his elite physical tools.6) Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Accruing 119 catches for 1,824 yards and 20 touchdowns across his first two seasons, Brock Bowers is on a collision course with Round 1 capital. The Georgia offense has always been proficient at giving Bowers space, but he makes the most of it with his instant acceleration, zone awareness, contact balance, and vice-grip hands at the high point.7) Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Harrison is a blue-chip prospect, but Emeka Egbuka has top-10 upside in his own right. At 6’1″, 205 pounds, Egbuka has the desired blend of explosiveness, agility, and speed. But what truly brings Ebuka’s profile together is his ability to displace and exploit zones as a route runner, and his ability to naturally corral passes in stride while turning upfield.8) Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
It’s very early in the 2024 NFL Draft process, but it’s safe to drink the Kool-Aid on Alabama’s next first-round CB prospect. Kool-Aid McKinstry is coming off a sophomore campaign that saw him rack up 15 pass deflections in coverage. He has length at 6’1″, 188 pounds, but he’s a gnat with his technique, twitch, burst, and precise, stifling physicality.9) Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
In a year, Jared Verse has gone from an under-the-radar Albany transfer to a projected Round 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Had he declared in 2023, he might have gone in that range as well.Verse, who logged nine sacks and 17 TFLs in 2022, has it all in his arsenal: Burst, length, power, bend, and supremely quick and active hands at contact.
