Each year, every NFL general manager, scout and coach has a personal list of favorite prospects -- guys to pound the table for when the clock is ticking and a decision must be made about which player to invest precious draft capital in.
Well, I'm no different. With the 2024 NFL Draft just around the corner (April 25-27 in Detroit), here is my list of prospects I feel most passionately about. This exercise isn't all-encompassing, and it doesn't feature players who are likely to hear their names called during Round 1 -- after all, we know there are plenty of eyeballs on those high-profile types, and plenty of teams with strong interest in them. I've included likely Day 2 (Rounds 2-3) and Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) picks here. There are others I would strongly advocate for, too, but I don't want to be pounding the table non-stop.
Fifteen of the 17 players on last year's version of this list were drafted, and the two undrafted players were brought into camp and landed on a practice squad. Seven of the 17 started at least one game in 2023, with one member -- Sam LaPorta -- making the Pro Bowl. Hopefully the players mentioned below can replicate -- if not exceed -- the success of last year's pound-the-table class!
