2024 NFL Draft Prospects
4. Joe Alt (OT – ND)
Not many 6-foot-8 offensive tackles have the flexibility and fluidity that Joe Alt can provide a team. He moves well for a player of his size. Similar to Peter Skoronski from last year’s draft, he’s just a consistent player whenever you put on the tape. I think he’s better suited to align more frequently out of a 2-point stance because it should help with his hand placement, but he’s consistent as a run-and-pass blocker. He remains patient, and his length helps him keep defenders at bay. Parts of his game remind me of Taylor Decker, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Alt start over 100-plus career games for whichever team drafts him.
10. Olu Fashanu (OT – PSU)
Watching the 2023 tape on Olu Fashanu, it just felt like he was a bit off this year. I wonder if some of his lower body quickness in 2022 went away due to the season-ending injury that limited him to only eight games. There were times that he looked lethargic, his footwork was clunky and he’d lean into defenders rather than drive them to the ground. With that, he’s got the desired length, frame and power needed to be successful in the NFL. His ability to anchor and lockout defenders is great in pass protection, and I could see him finding a home as a left tackle in the NFL. Much of his game reminds me of Andrew Thomas from when he was coming out of Georgia.
17. Quinyon Mitchell (CB – TOL)
Whether it be against Ohio State in 2022, teams in the MAC or at the Senior Bowl, there may not be a more consistent defensive player in the class than Quinyon Mitchell. No matter the level of competition, Mitchell came to play, and he made an impact every time. Some of the best ball skills of any defensive back in the class, he’s produced 45 pass deflections and six interceptions over three seasons. He’s a fluid athlete who can run and change direction with receivers, but his ability to close passing windows makes him so special. There’s much to be desired with Mitchell’s skillset.
23. Graham Barton (IOL – Duke)
Arm length could get questioned for Grham Barton, but he played left tackle and would align on the right side with Duke’s tackle-over package. Expected to play on the interior at the next level, Barton finishes his blocks with his aggressive style and should provide an immediate impact for teams as a run blocker.
