Krumich Way Too Early Big Board

These are my preliminary rankings for the 2024 NFL Draft. Rankings are not final and will be updated throughout the season.

1) Caleb Williams

USC QB: Williams is the only QB with a legit Mahomes comparison. He has a good arm, can get on his horse, and has insane touch. This is going to be THE guy for a long time.

2) Drake Maye

UNC QB: Maye is probably the purest pocket passer in the class. He has the ability to run but leans on it too much. Needs to trust his arm and eyes more. The fact he is still so young is his best friend.

3) Marvin Harrison Jr.

OSU WR: One of the best WR prospects we have seen in a while. He has it all. His route running, hands, and spatial awareness are off the charts. Bigger than his father, he is the prototypical NFL wide receiver.

4) Brock Bowers

UGA TE: Great in both blocking and the passing game. He has good size, speed, and route running. He makes up the majority of the UGA offense. Can change the game from the Tight End position.

5) J.T. Tuimoloau

OSU EDGE: The premiere EDGE of this class. Has all the right traits, but he has to have a better pass-rush plan to take the next step. He has a motor for days and doesn't give up on plays.

6) Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

Clemson LB: An NFL-ready LB with plenty of upside. Good in pass coverage, rush defense, and pass rush. He is undersized, but his athleticism makes up for it.

7) Joe Alt

ND OT: The most NFL-ready OT in the class. He's 6'7 283 and moves well at that size. feet and hand placement are NFL level already. I like him a lot in the passing game—a natural QB protector.

8) Michael Hall Jr.

OSU DT: Hall is a high-motor tackle who has good power for a DT. Best when lining up over the ball. He has tremendous upside and could be a real force in the NFL. Would like to see him produce more this year.

9) Dallas Turner

Bama EDGE: Huge upside edge. He has excellent traits but needs to put it all together this year. Interested to see how he does without Will Anderson next to him, becoming the new leader of Nick Saban’s defense.

10) Olumuyiwa Fashanu

Penn St OT: Raw prospect who has excellent size and athleticism. He needs to work on his foot placement but has strong, quick hands. Needs to be more patient when pass-blocking. He tends to attack early which can cause him problems.

11) Bralen Trice

Wash EDGE: Lean rusher who sets the edge well. He needs to develop a pass-rush plan, but his flexibility and athleticism help offset that. His bend around blockers is next level and he gains inside leverage with ease,

12) Kool-aid Mckinstry

Bama CB: Kool-aid Mckinstry is a no-fly zone. A superb athlete has excellent footwork and is getting better in the mental game—steady improvement in every game the last two years as Alabama’s number one corner.

13) Jared Verse

FSU EDGE: A great combination of size and speed. Verse has a good move set but needs to work on his secondary move. He could have come out last year but chose to stay and move higher into round one.

14) Andrew Mukuba

Clemson S: He is an excellent ball-playing safety. Mukuba is a player who is unafraid to stick his nose in on run plays. Super high potential and needs more snaps to develop—one of my favorite players in the class.

15) Zion Tupuola-Fetui

WASH DL: A strong defensive lineman who has range for days. He has a super high motor and is very quick off the line. His counter moves are his trump card in the pass rush.

16) Denzel Burke

OSU CB: Incredibly quick DB who can flip his hips instantly. With good ball-tracking skills, Burke is a top-tier man corner. He is a fast thinker on the field and will be a leader at Ohio State this year.

17) JC Latham

Bama OL: A Versatile offensive lineman. He is strong and can move very well for his size. Latham lands blocks on the second level with consistency and has really good hand placement.

18) Kingsley Suamataia

BYU OT: A strong, aggressive tackle who is always on the hunt. He is much better in run blocking when he is able to get downfield. Suamataia needs to be more patient in the pass game.

19) Troy Franklin

Oregon WR: Lanky wide receiver, but he plays strong through his hands. Has great foot control and makes sharp cuts when running routes. At 6'3 180 pounds, you would like to see him add a bit of mass, but I don’t think it is necessary.

20) Maason Smith

LSU EDGE: He has width, but he can still move. Smith has outstanding play strength. He has a good move-set but needs to up his agility. Super intrigued to see his progression this year.

21) Xavier Worthy

Texas WR: I am probably higher on Worthy than most people. He has all the traits but just needs to put it all together, and this can be the year that happens for him. Finally, has the QB and offense to maximize his skill set.

22) Quinn Ewers

Texas QB: This could be the year of Quinn Ewers. The former 5-star looks ready to take the next step. Ewers is above average in everything but needs to speed up his processing, and early reports are that his eyes have caught up to his arm.

23) Calen Bullock

USC S: A quick-footed safety who tracks the ball well in the air. 6'3 with long arms to match makes him hard to beat. Huge up-side, but Bullock clearly needs more reps.

24) Sedrick Van Pran

UGA IOL: Van Pran plays smart with his leverage. The Georgia Cornerstone has the technical ability in the passing game but is also violent when run-blocking. He struggles to pull, and when he has to climb to the second level.

25) Javon Bullard

UGA S: The new UGA defensive star. Off-the-field issues could see him slide, but Bullard is a stud safety who isn't afraid to stick his nose into the run game. If he improves in press, he will go a lot higher than this.
