Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado Courtesy of Matthew Pearce/Icon SportswireĪnother first as these rookie rankings progress, Sanders is the first player who is most likely returning to school. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, he could go to a team and give them someone who can do that Metcalf role of being a big play receiver. His skill set is designed to make splash plays and be a compliment to another receiver. Keon Coleman, WR, Florida StateĬoleman is the first receiver in these rankings where he needs to go to a team with a WR1 established. The landing spot shouldn’t matter for Mitchell he can be productive as a WR1 or WR2 for a team in the NFL, and there is fantasy value in that. He plays very well outside, wins jump balls, and has proven he can handle a WR1 workload. One of the biggest benefactors of Ewers’ consistency this year, and someone who has helped out his quarterback, is Mitchell. McCarthy may not win you a ton of games in the NFL, but when it comes to fantasy, he will be a more than serviceable starter on the right team as a rookie. In terms of fantasy, someone like Kirk Cousins has made a healthy career doing just that. McCarthy doesn’t make a ton of “wow” throws like the top four quarterbacks discussed, but he does the simple things great. If he finishes the year strong and puts a great combination together, look for Ewers to be a top-five pick potentially. To his credit, his 2023 film looks world better than 2022, but Ewers can’t lose momentum down the stretch. He has all the arm talent in the world and has had some mixed years of film. Quinn Ewers, QB, TexasĮwers is going to be the toughest player to figure out in rookie rankings throughout the entire draft process and offseason. He throws receivers open, hits them in stride, and, most importantly, doesn’t turn the ball over. The amount of NFL-caliber throws he has on film is maybe as much as we have from Maye and Williams. Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washingtonĭespite his history of knee injuries for Penix, you cannot deny the arm talent he has. Not many receivers do that in the NFL anymore, but those who do make a productive living. Great physical traits and good route running, and his best trait may be his ability to work the middle of the field as a receiver. Someone who has fallen a bit but is still very much a top-end receiver prospect is Egbuka. Like Harrison Jr., Nabers could be a team’s top receiver or playmaker come April. The LSU offense knows to get the ball in his hands by any means necessary, and when they do, plays get made. Nabers is a playmaker and could easily be the second-best receiver when we finalize rookie rankings after the draft. Malik Nabers, WR, LSU Courtesy of John Korduner/Icon Sportswire He has been on a constant climb in terms of progression as a prospect, and that is something that is critical to his NFL projection. Against Oregon, Odunze showed he can take over a game and make impact plays under pressure. Guard him one-on-one with his size and skillset, and you will be taught a hard lesson. It comes across as being picky, but when you have two top quarterbacks who can be stars immediately like Williams and Maye, you have to be. While that trait is one every quarterback needs, he sometimes creates his own chaos while still making plays. Williams draws the Patrick Mahomes comparisons because of his ability to create when a play breaks down. I see nothing wrong with Williams, but in the case of Maye, his ability to find success within structure while also being mobile in a calm sense in the pocket gives him the edge. No Caleb Williams here as we bring up our top quarterback in Maye. Whatever team is drafting in the top ten come April will be drafting him to be their top target in the offense, and he has the skill set to find success in that role. Harrison thrives no matter what route he runs, where he lines up, and no matter the coverage. Right behind Brock Bowers is Harrison, and he is almost as perfect. Tight ends have learning curves in the NFL, but in the case of Bowers, look for him to be a TE1 immediately. He has a complete skillset and is the closest thing to Travis Kelce we have seen come out of college football in years. Position value be damned Bowers is far and away the best player in the 2024 NFL Draft if he declares. Dynasty Rookie Big Board Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia Courtesy of Michael Wade/Icon Sportswire Here is how things are shaping up as we are halfway through this entertaining college football season. Players who were atop of position rankings have fallen, players have risen, and new faces have emerged. They remain fluid as always because even from just a month and a half ago, things are looking very different. We are in the heart of the college football season, and now we have seen a good amount of this 2024 draft class.īeing able to see them allows for rankings to be adjusted and big boards to form.
