Caleb Williams QB, USC

Height: 6-1, Weight: 215

They say heā€™s generational, and he might be, but there are some concerns. I like his game, but I would have taken Jayden Daniels. Only time will tell. (Pete Prisco)

A-

Rating: 94.07 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Patrick Mahomes
Summary

Caleb Williams is as close to Patrick Mahomes as we've seen since 2017. His footwork looks cleaner in his drop back, he has a plus arm, throws with great accuracy to all three levels, and consistently wins with his legs -- whether he's in the pocket, flushed from the pocket or on designed runs. Added bonuses: does a good job of avoiding hits near the sideline. Can throw with anticipation on intermediate routes, layers the ball well on intermediate routes and has good deep-ball accuracy. Would like to see him stick with his first read a little longer -- he loves to rely on his mobility and playmaking abilities -- but it's hard to argue with the results. There's a long list of QBs who play well off-platform and out of structure; he may already be one of the best.

About
  • 2022 Heisman Trophy winner (1st from USC since Reggie Bush)
  • Career: Most total yards (8,673) and TD (93) in 2-year span in USC history
Strengths
  • The next Patrick Mahomes isn't hyperbole
  • Can throw from every arm angle and do it with pinpoint accuracy
  • Consistently wins with his legs though he doesn't look to run at the first sign of trouble
Weaknesses
  • Tries to do too much at times
  • Needs to do a better job of playing within the offense
  • Will sometimes pass up easy throws looking for the big play

Jayden Daniels QB, LSU

Height: 6-4, Weight: 210

I love this pick. Itā€™s a great situation for a rookie. The team has a new owner, coach and now quarterback. They can grow together. He will be the best QB in this class. (Pete Prisco)

A

Rating: 92.83 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Tyrod Taylor
Summary

Jayden Daniels is one of the most improved players in college football over the past two years. He is an experienced passer who doubles as an impact runner. His decision-making has improved immensely since his days at Arizona State. Daniels has enough arm strength to push the ball downfield . He showed the ability to uplift and entire offense this past season.

Drake Maye QB, UNC

Height: 6-4, Weight: 230

He might need some time on the bench, but he has the talent to develop into a good starting quarterback in this league. He just needs to fine tune a few mechanical things. The Patriots had to get a quarterback. (Pete Prisco)

B

Rating: 92.87 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Justin Herbert
Summary

Drake Maye is a tall pocket passer with some athletic juice. He has a live arm with a compact release. He drives the football with ease and throws a gorgeous spiral with high regularity. His accuracy to all levels is very good, but there are a few seemingly uncharacteristic misses deep. His misses are typically low/behind. He was utilized in the designed run game in college but it will be somewhat of a stretch to see him succeed doing that in the NFL. Has a flair for making plays on the run and can be a useful, Mahomes-like scrambler. The natural playmaker gene is there, as he rarely gives up on a play. He wants to rip the vertical shot down the seam/numbers. He truly can make every throw, and his arm talent borders on elite. His high-arcing touch is good, not amazing. He can make impressive throws with defenders draped on him. His pocket presence is solid, but sometimes awkward when navigating. He has lots of experience reading the entire field. Overall, he has a great blend of pocket passing, arm talent, accuracy, and athleticism. He's a very impressive QB prospect for the modern-day NFL.

About
  • 2022: ACC Player of the Year (First in UNC since Lawrence Taylor in 1980)
  • Only FBS player with 7,000+ pass yards and 1,000+ rush yards in past two seasons
Strengths
  • Arm strength is fantastic
  • Full-field reader
  • Big frame with plus athleticism to scramble and elude rushers inside the pocket
Weaknesses
  • Occasional miss low/behind his WR
  • At times awkward when attempting to navigate the pocket
  • In some instances will try to do too much when things break down

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR, OHIOST

Height: 6-4, Weight: 205

He has the tools to be a star receiver in this league. The Cardinals had to get a receiver, so it works. He will be a big-time playmaker in their offense. I think Malik Nabers will be better, but it's close. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 93.83 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Randy Moss
Summary

Marvin Harrison Jr. is arguably the best player in the entire draft class. Father was an NFL Hall of Famer and Harrison Jr. has a chance to be even better because of his physical gifts -- size, speed, huge catch radius and the ability to win running a variety of routes. When he is locked in he's all but unstoppable.

About
  • Career: 2-time unanimous All-American (1st from OSU since Orlando Pace)
  • 1st player in Big Ten history with 14+ rec TD in multiple seasons
Strengths
  • Incredibly strong at the top of routes; he's able to create separation vs. physical CBs
  • Hands-catcher with an enormous catch radius
  • Can stack CBs off the line of scrimmage and has the shiftiness to create separation on every route
Weaknesses
  • Did have a few focus drops during the 2023 season
  • Showed frustrations at times at the level of QB play in 2023

Joe Alt OT, ND

Height: 6-8, Weight: 322

He is the best in this class, but now he has to make the transition to right tackle for Jim Harbaugh. That can be tough to do. But taking a lineman makes sense, I just might have taken J.C. Latham as a better fit. (Pete Prisco)

B

Rating: 92.80 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Taylor Decker
Summary

Joe Alt made tremendous strides in his career from 2022 to 2023. He looks like a much more flexible prospect capable of digging out smaller rushers. He can struggle with power players that get under his pad level and does not have ideal shock and power in his initial punch. Alt does a great job of adjusting his hands and feet when engaged.

About
  • 2022-23: 2-time first-team All-American (AP)
  • 2023: Highest overall PFF grade (90.7) by FBS OL
Strengths
  • Does a great job adjusting his hands and feet when engaged
  • A much more fluid player in 2023 than 2022
  • Does a good job with punch placement
  • Moves well to mirror defenders laterally
Weaknesses
  • Average job of engaging and sustaining blocks in space
  • Average shock and power in his hands
  • Power players can get under his pads and walk him back
Combine Data
  • 40-yard dash: 5.05 seconds
  • Bench press: 27 reps
  • Vertical jump: 28 inches
  • 20-yard shuttle run: 4.51 seconds

Malik Nabers WR, LSU

Height: 6-0, Weight: 200

I love this pick for the Giants. It says they didnā€™t believe in the quarterbacks who were left and now they get a playmaker on the outside. This kid will be a star. (Pete Prisco)

A+

Rating: 93.57 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Brandon Aiyuk
Summary

Malik Nabers is a super-explosive WR prospect. He gets to top gear in a flash and can sustain that speed down the field. Heā€™s effortless off the line and has serious acceleration. Heā€™s a bouncy athlete when needing to elevate. He has plus wiggle off the line and can get on top of CBs quickly to stack them on vertical routes. Physicality can get the best of him in press, but heā€™s not a weak player. He works well fighting back to the football/finding it down the field and in the red zone. Natural mover with the ball in his hands. He has RB vision, plus quickness, and his supercharged burst all indicate him being a YAC weapon in the NFL. He won't be an elite burner, but heā€™s certainly not slow. While not tall for the position, he has a "my-ball" mentality in traffic. Route-running is good, but he didn't run the full route tree. He has the athletic chops to be a star in that area eventually. In most classes, he'd be the clear WR1. His game is tailor-made for today's NFL.

About
  • 2023: Converted 78.7% of his receptions into either a first down or a touchdown, according to TruMedia (second-highest among players with at least 100 target)
  • 2023: Led FBS with 17 catches of 30-plus yards
Strengths
  • Incredible explosiveness
  • RAC ability is elite
  • Will go up and get ball in traffic
Weaknesses
  • Not a huge frame
  • Didn't run many routes in college
  • Occasionally physical press beats him at the line

JC Latham OT, BAMA

Height: 6-6, Weight: 360

He is a right tackle and they need a left tackle, so it will be interesting to see how they play it. But heā€™s a violent player wherever he plays. They cross-train at Alabama at both left and right, so he should be able to make a smooth transition. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 91.50 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Teven Jenkins
Summary

JC Latham is a big power/anchor-based RT with vice grips for hands. Good quickness. Best in quick-setting scenario where he can get his hands on EDGEs instantly. Just enough athleticism to get back to secondary rushers on stunts or delayed blitzes. Very patient and collected in pass pro. Glides laterally against inside moves/counters. Could play with more of a mean streak. Not highly effective in space/on the move. Has room to improve as a run blocker. Must add more sand in his pants at the NFL level. Anchoring flashes on film that are awesome. Understands his assignments but can be a tick labored/awkward getting there. At times opens the gate too early -- it shouldn't be as easy to soften his edge. Generates plenty of torque. Size, natural power, and some athletic flashes make him a fun OT prospect.

About
  • 2023: Second-team All-American (AP) and first-team All-SEC
  • 3 sacks allowed in 970 career pass-blocking snaps
Strengths
  • Large, naturally strong frame
  • Plenty of experience in the SEC at multiple positions
  • Rarely out of position
Weaknesses
  • Movements can be a bit labored
  • Not as nasty at the point of attack as his size would indicate
  • Must improve as a run blocker

Michael Penix Jr. QB, WASH

Height: 6-3, Weight: 213

B-

Rating: 88.43 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Tua Tagovailoa
Summary

NFL decision-makers have a wide array of opinions on Michael Penix Jr.ā€™s abilities; some like him in Round 1, while others think he's a Day 3 target. It's hard to argue that he's the best deep ball thrower in this draft class, and he arrives in the league with a ton of experience.

About
  • 2023: Heisman Trophy runner-up (best finish in Washington history)
  • 2022-23: Most pass yards (9,544) in 2-year span in Pac-12 history
Strengths
  • Best deep-ball thrower in this class
  • Throws with anticipation on intermediate routes
  • Very good at putting the ball in position to maximize YAC
Weaknesses
  • Injury history will be a concern for many NFL teams
  • Can he consistently throw the ball accurately over the middle of the field on intermediate routes?

Rome Odunze WR, WASH

Height: 6-3, Weight: 215

This is smart pick for the Bears, even if taking an edge rusher filled a bigger need. Now you have a young receiver to grow with Caleb Williams. Odunze will give them a nice three-man receiver group. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 92.60 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Muhsin Muhammad
Summary

Washington has attempted to manufacture touches for Rome Odunze for years. He is a good route runner with an ability to elude defenders post-catch. He has great size with the range to go high or low. From 2022 to 2023, he added 15 pounds of good weight to improve his physicality through routes. As he gains more reps carrying that additional weight, he should only improve.

About
  • 2023: Consensus All-American (2-time first-team All-Pac 12)
  • 2023: Led FBS with 1,640 rec yards (Washington record)
Strengths
  • Good hand-eye coordination
  • Elusive post-catch
  • Good range to go high or low
  • Does a great job tracking the ball downfield
  • Fluid athlete with good top-end speed
Weaknesses
  • Physicality through his routes

  • Average burst

  • Vertical jump: 39 inches

J.J. McCarthy QB, MICH

Height: 6-3, Weight: 202

They had to fill the quarterback spot, so it makes sense to take McCarthy. I donā€™t love him as much as others do, but it will be interesting to see how Kevin Oā€™Connell and gang will make it work. (Pete Prisco)

C+

Rating: 91.43 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Joe Burrow
Summary

J.J. McCarthy is an incredibly efficient passer who operated in a predominantly run-heavy offense. He is slight of frame but has the mobility and accuracy to make plays out of structure. McCarthy does not have the strongest arm but throws with touch to all three levels. He is a tough player who has consistently won at every level of his career.

About

Olumuyiwa Fashanu OT, PSU

Height: 6-6, Weight: 317

He is a left tackle for the future, but also insurance if Tyron Smith canā€™t play the whole season. He is good in pass protection, but needs to improve his run blocking. This isnā€™t an all-in pick like Brock Bowers might have been. (Pete Prisco)

B-

Rating: 93.07 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Trent Williams
Summary

Olu Fashanu has long arms, a good base, great athleticism, is solid at the point of attack and consistently anchors well against power rushers. He's patient in his pass sets and rarely panics. He's only going to get better.

About
  • 2023: Consensus All-American and first-team All-Big Ten
  • Career: 0 sacks allowed on 697 career pass-blocking snaps
Strengths
  • Physical freak in every regard; can manhandle edge rushers but has the athleticism to get to the second level and bury his target
  • Still young and developing; he's only going to get better
Weaknesses
  • Needs to continue to refine his technique because he sometimes relies on this athleticism to win vs. lesser opponents
  • Had a better 2022 season, so he'll need to show he can play with more consistency

Bo Nix QB, OREG

Height: 6-2, Weight: 217

I donā€™t love Nix, but I get the pick. Desperation forces teams to pick quarterbacks earlier than they should. Sean Payton obviously sees Drew Brees in him, but this is way early. Why not trade down and get him later? (Pete Prisco)

C-

Rating: 87.50 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Joshua Dobbs
Summary

Bo Nix is a smooth, natural athlete who went from a chaotic QB to a calculated, fundamentally sound passer after his transfer from Auburn. He has quite footwork, is very patient/stoic in the pocket and then can flip into natural athlete mode to create off-script. Not a ridiculous big-play generator, but he will be a fun scrambler at the next level. His accuracy is great; definite a plus to his game. The offense he operated protected him outstandingly and was heavily reliant on the screen game. Unprecedented experience, but his pocket presence leaves a little to be desired. He tends to bounce outside instead of sliding up at the first sign of pressure. His arm strength is good, not great. Heā€™s a smart decision-maker, often taking what the defense gives him. Because of his athleticism and improved accuracy, along with his experience and how efficiently he operated his collegiate offense, Nix will be well-liked by offensive coaches, but his upside is a bit limited.

About
  • 2023: Third in 2023 Heisman Trophy voting (led FBS with 51 total TD)
  • Most QB starts (61), second-most total yards (16,965) in FBS history
Strengths

  • Learned to make start decisions
  • Sound footwork and a quick release
Weaknesses
  • Pocket presence needs improvement
  • Played in screen-heavy offense that boosted statistics
  • Not much of a downfield thrower

Brock Bowers TE, UGA

Height: 6-4, Weight: 240

Heā€™s a heck of a player, but didnā€™t they draft Michael Mayer last year and signed Harrison Bryant this year? They have other needs. Donā€™t really like this pick that much. Itā€™s not like heā€™s a good blocker for their run game. Strange pick with other needs. (Pete Prisco)

C

Rating: 92.40 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: George Kittle
Summary

Brock Bowers is a wiry strong athlete who is willing to contribute as a run blocker. His lack of ideal mass means he is more valuable as a blocker in space than inline. Bowers has soft hands and great range to go high or low. He has a good feel for pressing defenders at the route before making his cut. Bowers is incredibly effective creating yards after the catch.

About
  • Career: Only 2-time John Mackey Award winner (given to nation's best TE)
  • Most career rec yds (2,538) and rec TD (26) by TE in SEC history
Strengths
  • Good top-end speed
  • Does a good job creating separation
  • Builds speed quickly
  • Does not tip off his breaks with his eyes, leans into the defender's body to create spce
  • Great hands and range to make catches outside of his frame
Weaknesses
  • Lacks ideal height
  • Lighter frame makes it more difficult to hold up as an inline blocker

Taliese Fuaga OT, OREGST

Height: 6-6, Weight: 334

He fills a major need for the Saints. They have big-time tackle issues. Fuaga is a nasty player who will start right away. Love it. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 92.53 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Jedrick Wills
Summary

Taliese Fuaga is a large, girthy, mobile people-mover at RT. He has shocking burst and lateral quicks given his gargantuan size; some Penei Sewell-ian vibes when he's on the move. He has frequent mashing reps and is a menace at the second level. Heā€™s an authoritative blocker who tries to get his hands on DLs early. Sometimes quality rushers can throw him off balance, but those reps are few and far between and he works hard to recover. Grip strength could improve and heā€™s not incredibly accurate at the second level, but he gets out there in a flash. Despite his wide frame and easy power, he could actually add more lower-body strength for setting edge/turning DLs. Kick slide is good, not great. Overall, Fuaga is a mostly ready-to-go classic RT with power and mobility.

About
  • 2023: Second-team All-American (AP) and first-team All-Pac 12
  • 2023: Highest PFF run-blocking grade (90.9) in FBS

Laiatu Latu EDGE, UCLA

Height: 6-5, Weight: 267

I think there were other options for them in this spot and better edge rushers in my mind. But Latu has good pass-rush skills, although there are some medical concerns. They do need edge-rush help. (Pete Prisco)

B-

Rating: 92.17 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Jaelan Phillips
Summary

Laiatu Latu is a tall, well-built edge rusher. He tends to rush a tick high, but he has a nasty, often-used swim move. Heā€™s fast and effective with it. Heā€™s a highly capable athlete. He dips/leans around the corner and retraces when he's past the QB. Everything about his rush skill set is very natural and smooth. He has never-stopping hands, and there's some power to them. Swipe and rip are there, too. He wins with leverage and using OTs (and OGs) momentum against them when countering. Burst is great but not elite. At times, his higher rushes and desire to use the swim leave his midsection susceptible and his power sapped. He works hard against the run. He has a large tackling radius and can be a menace against OGs inside when they don't get up and under him. Good bend for his size, but itā€™s not a trademark attribute. Closing speed is impressive. He needs to add a bull rush. Overall, Latu is a three-down edge rusher in the NFL and an All-Pro talent with polish.

About
  • 2023: Unanimous All-American (First from UCLA since Maurice Jones-Drew in 2005)

  • At times, leaves his midsection open to blockers

Byron Murphy II DL, TEXAS

They patiently wait and get the player who might be the best defensive player in this draft. Murphy has been compared to Justin Madubuike, who new Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald coached in Baltimore. (Pete Prisco)

A

Rating: 92.20 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Javon Hargrave
Summary

Byron Murphy II is a long armed, squatty, explosive DT. His first-step quicks are a problem for interior OLs, and he gets his hands into their chest in a flash. He resets the line of scrimmage with speed-to-power conversion and effortlessly works across the frame of blockers to soften their edges. He has a nice rip move and uses an occasional swipe. Heā€™s a very fluid athlete with loose hips who can track the football down the line of scrimmage. He will occasionally drop to one knee to anchor against doubles, but it's not a clear strength. Heā€™s surprisingly powerful at the point of attack given his size. His hands are never complacent, and he works noticeably hard against the run and is rarely on the ground. Heā€™s best in a pure up-the-field pass-rush role. He has good block-shed ability. He doesn't have enough pure strength to counter off the initial rush, but that rush is almost always super explosive.

About

Dallas Turner EDGE, BAMA

A

Rating: 92.57 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Jevon Kearse
Summary

Dallas Turner is a quick edge rusher with good first-step quickness. He could stand to add more mass to take his game to another level but is not deficient in that regard. Turner has great waist bend at the high side of his rush to flatten and become a heat-seeking missile towards quarterbacks. He should quickly become a factor for a team at the next level.

Amarius Mims has the athleticism and talent to become the best offensive tackle from this draft class. Injuries have limited the right tackle's availability, but his performance against Ohio State in 2022 put him on the national radar. He does a good job adjusting his feet when engaged in pass protection and drives his feet on contact in the run game. Mims can do a better job of adjusting his hands when engaged and would be better served working on his punch placement and being more aggressive at the point of attack.

Jared Verse EDGE, FSU

Height: 6-4, Weight: 260

The Rams patiently wait and end up with one of the best pass rushers in this draft. This fills a major need and will help compensate for the loss of Aaron Donald on the inside. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 92.57 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Josh Hines-Allen
Summary

Jared Verse is an Albany transfer who was unranked coming out of high school. He would've been a first-round pick after the 2022 season, but he returned to Florida State and will again be a first-round pick in 2024. He plays with heavy hands and is twitchy off the edge. When he is locked in, he is unblockable.

Troy Fautanu IOL, WASH

Height: 6-4, Weight: 317

The Steelers needed another tackle to go with Broderick Jones, but Fautanu can also play inside. He is a physical player who fits what they want to do. This is a nice, solid Steelers pick. (Pete Prisco)

B

Rating: 89.67 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Tyler Steen
Summary

Troy Fautanu is a smaller, compact, quickness-based OT prospect with plus awareness and quality feet. He's a quick setter. Clearly he has to get stronger, as anchoring capabilities are not where they need to be. Because of power deficiency, he has to lean into his blocks, which makes it easier for DLs to get off him against the run. He's further ahead as a pass protector right now, which isn't the worst dynamic. Lateral quicks to follow inside moves into the pocket. Not enough sustained juice in his kick slide to get to speedy outside rushers. He may have a future at guard because he doesn't possess a classic NFL OT frame. He's very mobile and gets to the second level in a hurry, though he's not very accurate finding LBs there. Grip strength must improve at the next level. Despite that, he has outstanding hand work; he swats down hands, constantly looking to reset his hands to control defenders. He's very capable picking up stunts. Overall, the physical tools are there for Fautanu, but he has to get stronger and learn to get more depth/speed in his traditional pass-blocking sets.

About
  • 2023: Morris Trophy winner (best OL in Pac-12)
  • 2023: Fifth-best PFF pass-block grade (88.2) among FBS OT
Strengths
  • Plus athlete, light on his feet
  • Awareness is awesome, will get to inside moves, blitzes, and stunts
  • Comfortable in space on screens and combos at the second level
Weaknesses
  • Not quite explosive enough to get to outside speed rushers in traditional pass set
  • Has to get significantly stronger at the NFL level

Chop Robinson EDGE, PSU

Height: 6-3, Weight: 254

I love this pick for Miami. He has the best first step in this draft. With a little coaching, he will become a dominant pass rusher. They can also move him around as a joker on their front. Love it. (Pete Prisco)

A

Rating: 89.80 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Nik Bonitto
Summary

Chop Robinson plays with as high a motor as you'll see at any level. He will test through the roof, and that testing will match his tape. Plays every snap at an 11 on a 10-point scale, and for as active as he is as a pass-rusher, he's also really good against the run.

About
  • 2023: First-team All-Big Ten (4.0 sacks, 7.5 TFL in 10 games)
  • 2022-23: Led Big Ten with 18.6% pressure rate

  • Consistently disruptive in the backfield
  • Uses hands well as a pass-rusher but also solid against the run
Weaknesses
  • Undersized but plays much bigger than his measurements
  • Very little not to love about his game

Quinyon Mitchell CB, TOLEDO

Height: 6-0, Weight: 196

The Eagles wait and get the best corner in this draft. Thatā€™s smart. There was talk of them trading up, but now they land a player who fills a need with age creeping into their defense. Nice pick. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 92.77 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Darius Slay
Summary

Quinyon Mitchell checks a lot of boxes for NFL teams. He has great size to be a man coverage cornerback on the boundary. He has a quick click and close to flash downhill in run support. Mitchell has good top-end speed but gets a bit loose in transitions across the field. He is competitive at the catch point and has great ball production over the past two seasons. Mitchell does not have significant exposure against Power 5 competition.

About

Brian Thomas Jr. WR, LSU

Height: 6-4, Weight: 205

This is a heck of a move for a team that needs another young weapon. He can fly and his best football is in front of him. Watch out for their offense in 2024. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 91.87 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: George Pickens
Summary

Brian Thomas Jr. is a tall, decently sculpted perimeter wideout with plus ball-tracking capabilities. Heā€™s not super explosive, but he can win off the line to the inside or outside or with physicality. Some wiggle to his game, which also pops after the catch. Surprising agility for a taller WR. Deceptive long speed, and his build-up speed surprises DBs. He has some high-point ability and will find the ball over his shoulder/in-traffic with good regularity. He shows flashes dipping past DBs in his route. Nothing about his game stands out more than the rest; heā€™s just a solid all-around WR prospect with a relatively polished game and fair amount of upside due to his age.

About

Terrion Arnold CB, BAMA

Height: 6-0, Weight: 196

The Lions needed some corner help, so it makes sense to make a move to get one. Arnold gives them another Alabama secondary player to go with Brian Branch, another player with versatility. (Pete Prisco)

B

Rating: 92.43 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Jaycee Horn
Summary

Terrion Arnold is a boundary cornerback with good size. He has average top-end speed but has little difficulty carrying routes up the boundary. Arnold gets a bit loose in routes transitioning across the field and can do a better job of breaking his feet down in space to make a form tackle. He is a high-energy cornerback who will occasionally lose patience and grab the receiver during routes. Over the past two years, Arnold has tremendous ball production. He is not afraid to play downhill in run support and jam at the line of scrimmage.

About
  • 2023: First-team All-American (AP)
  • 2023: 5 INT (T-most in SEC)

  • Willing to play downhill in run support
  • Good size for the position
  • Great ball production over the past two years
Weaknesses

Jordan Morgan OT, ARIZ

Height: 6-5, Weight: 325

I might have taken Graham Barton here, but they need help up front so I get it. Morgan can move inside to guard but if they move right tackle Zach Tom to center, he would be their right tackle. (Pete Prisco)

C+

Rating: 85.50 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Bernhard Raimann
Summary

Jordan Morgan is a fluid, highly capable athlete with a classic NFL OT frame, despite slightly shorter arms than what's normally desired. Wingspan is fine. Fires out of his stance fast and naturally. Glides. Super loose hips, which help him mirror against all types of counter moves. Awesome in that regard. Moves like a large tight end. Hand work is mostly good but inconsistent. Almost seems like he leans on his athleticism too much and doesn't fire his hands early enough. Anchor is great -- clean back bend -- but certainly room for improvement overall. Has the frame to add 10 to 15 pounds without sapping athletic gifts. Combo-blocking capability pops on film. While he doesn't possess the strongest grip strength, he carries out blocks on the move as well as any blocker in the class. Pass-blocking is a speciality because of all the ways he can win at the point of attack, although there's an occasional lackluster rep when his edge is softened too easily. Overall, Morgan is an NFL-ready blocker with loads of upside because of his natural smoothness and gifted feet.

About
  • 2023: First-team All-Pac 12
  • Allowed 3 sacks on 880 pass-blocking snaps in past 2 seasons

Weaknesses

Graham Barton IOL, DUKE

Height: 6-5, Weight: 314

This is a great pick. They have major issues at center and a question at left guard and he can play both. I love this pick. Barton will move inside from tackle, but he can play there in a pinch too. (Pete Prisco)

A

Rating: 85.53 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Peter Skoronski
Summary

Graham Barton is a short-area quickness, hustle, technique based OT in somewhat of an OG body. Works the angles awesomely. Tends to lean into blocks when getting across the line. Occasionally late with his hands -- and they get outside -- but his sweet feet kept him in position in pass pro. Effortlessly slides against inside moves. Doesn't have enough length or power to anchor around the corner with great consistency. Plus accuracy getting to the second level because he trusts his athleticism. Very aware of stunts, and will get to most of them. Definitely has a nasty demeanor finishing blocks. Probably a guard at the next level but has enough juice to play center, too. Versatility and relatively clean film at OT are his biggest selling points.

About
  • 2023: Second-team All-American
  • 2022-23: 2-time first-team All-ACC
Strengths
  • Light feet when executing all blocks
  • Works the angles/leverages awesomely

Darius Robinson EDGE, MIZZOU

B

Rating: 89.40 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Keion White
Summary

Darius Robinson is a DE/DT hybrid. Jolting and active hands. Great swipe to rip and bull rush is legitimate. Serious, near NFL-caliber power. Length galore. Some flexibility. While not ridiculously explosive, he's a better athlete than most DL/EDGEs his size. Wins with counters off his bull rush. Expansive tackling radius. Mostly rushed as an end in three-man fronts in college. Doesn't deploy pass-rush moves as often as he should. Most of his losses as a pass-rusher come when he rushes too high. Overall, Robinson is a new-age 5-technique with legitimate positional versatility, immense length and power.

About

  • 2023: Led Mizzou DL with 43 total tackles, 8.5 sacks and 14 TFL

Xavier Worthy WR, TEXAS

A

Rating: 88.20 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: DeVonta Smith
Summary

Xavier Worthy is a thin-framed wide receiver who shows great quickness to set up route breaks and sinks his hips to flatten his routes. He lacks the mass to make much of an impact as a blocker and could struggle getting off jams at the next level. Worthy has great top-end speed to separate on vertical routes.

About
  • 2-time first-team All-Big 12 (2021, 2023)

  • Sinks his hips into breaks and flattens routes
Weaknesses

B

Rating: 87.30 (High-level starter)
Pro Comparison: Anton Harrison
Summary

Tyler Guyton is a right tackle who moves really well for his size and has good ankle flexion to recover when balance is lost. Most of his balance issues stem from not adjusting his hands when engaged and punch placement. Guyton can use varied timing in his punches to confuse defenders. He has good eyes to handle exchanges and pick up stunts into his gap.

B+

Rating: 90.40 (All-Pro)
Pro Comparison: Kaiir Elam
Summary

Nate Wiggins is arguably the best cover cornerback in this draft class. Wiggins has a slight frame, so he will need to add weight, but he was much improved against the run in 2023 compared to the previous season. He can run with anybody and is consistently making plays at the catch point.

Weaknesses
  • Did improve in run support but needs to continue to get better
  • Slight frame; will need to add weight at the next level

Xavier Legette WR, SC

Height: 6-3, Weight: 227

They have to get weapons for Bryce Young, so landing him makes sense. He is a player who plays physical and runs better than you think. Heā€™s only done it for one year. (Pete Prisco)

B+

Rating: 84.17 (Starter)
Pro Comparison: Jonathan Mingo
Summary

Xavier Leggette is a stocky, chiseled WR. He's built and plays like a RB. He's authoritative and springy after the catch. His long-striding speed is more impressive than his explosiveness. He runs with a unique gait; it almost looks like he can't really fully open it up in space. He has a my-ball menality when it's in the air, but he's not incredibly effective bringing it in. Otherwise, he has very reliable hands. Despite the stop-start ability with the ball in his hands, he's a little stiff running routes, which could lead to separation problems in the NFL. He's not a burner and was legitimately used in a Deebo Samuel-esque role in college: jet sweeps, screens, throws into the flat, drag routes. There are clear limitations to Legette's game, but with a coach who wants maximized YAC at WR, this is one of the better, more intimidating prospects in the class.

About
  • 2023: Second-team All-SEC (AP, coaches)
  • 2023: Second in receiving yards (1,255) and tied for fifth in receptions (71) in a single season in school history
Strengths
  • YAC threat because of his power and cutting ability
  • Very reliable, strong hands
  • Highlight-reel-grab capability down the field
Weaknesses
  • Runs with unusual gait that seems to limit his top-end speed
  • Used mostly in gadget-y role in college, didn't run many routes
  • A bit stiff running routes, won't be a regular separator
Combine Data
  • 40-yard dash: 4.39 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 40 inches
  • Broad jump: 10 feet, 6 inches
