Draftwire

The 2024 regular season ended with 18 teams coming up short of the goal of advancing to the NFL’s postseason. For those teams, it’s draft season. It’s still the early stages of draft season, of course. None of the postseason all-star bowls or pro days have fired up yet, and the NFL Scouting Combine is still weeks away, too. There’s a lot of film to crunch and new prospects to study, and that’s part of the everyday work at this time of year. But to this point in the evaluations, here are the top 103 players in my rankings. Note that player ranking is a completely different exercise and discipline than projecting draft order; the latter is what mock drafts are for, and those largely ignore player rankings on a big board like this. Next update will come after the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl weeks, which end the week prior to the Super Bowl.
