    Hello everyone! AskQuestionsLater here, returning for the 2024 NFL Draft Season! For those of you who are new to the site or are visiting for the first time, I have been doing these writeups of mine since 2020. Sadly, 2023 was the first time I was unable to do so for some aspects within my life had changed. However, that was 2023 and this is 2024; marking a new and exciting time to see new Prospects stake their claim to be the best of the best! For those of you returning... I hear you asking....

    Well... as stated above; life related things... or more specifically increased work load for I elected to pick up a second occupation. Regardless though, I believe I have rambled on long enough about what I have been up to and where I have been. Thirty two players aren't going to grade themselves here so let us not waste any more time and begin shall we?! Need I forget, I reminder to all;

    I would love to see us draft Jackson Powers Johnson in the first but a backup plan of drafting Mims in the first and Zach Frazier from West Virginia in the second round would be pretty darn good too.

    JPJ has gone from a late second to as early as 16 on some boards after a fantastic Senior Bowl. If We take JPJ in the first, I could see us waiting until 4 to take a tackle, going DL and CB in 2 and 3.

    I'd be pretty shocked to see us go tackle in the first round back to back years. If we are confident that Moore can play RT at all then we should be okay at the position provided that we draft a Center. CB, SS, and ILB are the biggest concerns for me in the draft outside of C.

    The major aspect bumming me out everyone is the fact that this is the season in which EDGE are in far greater supply than they have been in recent years; doubly so during the 2020 NFL Draft where said draft was very top heavy imo. Granted, 2021 to 2023 was a return for the position but while 2024 doesn't have a slam dunk prospect a la Will Anderson Jr., this class is far deeper than 2023, much more talented than 2022 and arguably on par with 2021. Wide Receivers though?! Say hello to the deepest class the league has seen since 2014... and I am not kidding.


    So many Round 1 capable WRs I painfully had to leave off bc other players at other positions were better than them. Adonai Mitchell from the University of Texas, Troy Franklin from the University of Oregon, Xaiver Lagette from the University of South Carolina and Ladd McConkey from the University of Georgia; to name a few. I didn't even get to the best part; there is a WR who has playmaking potential at seemingly every single Round until Round 6. Schematically limited but hot damn!!! :eek:

    Agreed on JPJ. I think he is most likely the pick. And I'm all for it. He looks and plays like a Pro Bowler.

    Pro Bowl looking prospects outside of QBs:

    Marvin Harrison
    Romeo Odunze
    Joe Alt
    Cooper Dejean
    Olu Fashanu
    Nate Wiggins
    JPJ
    Jared Verse
    Dallas Turner


    I'll take any of them in the 1st round other than the Ends.

    Man I wish!!


    Alt is one of the cleanest Blind Side prospects I have scouted since Laremy Tunsil. Granted, I don't see him as the same caliber of athlete that Tunsil is but Alt is far more cleaner. A better comp for him is Jake Matthews... but cranked up to 11.
