We’re approaching the 50-day mark until the 2024 NFL Draft! Now that the Scouting Combine is in our rearview, it’s time to lay out the final grades for prospects.

This means that over the next few weeks, we will see some players cemented in certain spots on NFL Draft big boards while others will move around due to athletic testing and film grades being finalized.

For now, here are the top 50 players on my big board for the 2024 NFL Draft! Below we dive into a few notable names. And check out our consensus 2024 NFL Draft Big Board and overall prospect rankings.

2024 NFL Draft Prospects

1. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – OSU)

There are not many 6-foot-4 and 205-pound receivers that move as fluid as Marvin Harrison Jr. The fluidity shows within his routes, and it helps him throttle down and change direction at ease. He will provide good inside-outside versatility for an NFL offense. His dominant ball skills should help him have immediate success in his career. Look for him to go early in the draft and for him to make an impact as a top wide receiver for an NFL team.

7. Drake Maye (QB – UNC)

It’s very close between Daniels and Drake Maye on my board, and I could see NFL teams having it the same way. With Maye, he’s got the size (6-foot-4 and 230 pounds) and the desired arm of a starting QB, as he makes some terrific throws on tape. This includes throws where he can throw across his body and drop it into a bucket. His mobility and toughness is an added bonus, as he’s been able to compile over 1,600 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns in his career. There are times that he forces some throws, and there are times on tape where he leaves the pocket early before there is pressure. Overall, he’s got the tools needed to become a starting quarterback at the next level.

13. Jared Verse (EDGE – FSU)

It’s always a joy watching pass-rushers that can turn speed-to-power and are physical at the point of attack. Jared Verse is that type of player, leading to tons of production, but it still feels like an NFL team can tap into more. He’ll need to work on staying at heels depth in the backfield, but teams are getting a player with the physical tools and desired athleticism to take his game to another level. He’ll be a slightly older player (24 years old) after a few weeks into his rookie season but that shouldn’t cause any hesitation with selecting him early in the draft.

20. Nate Wiggins (CB – CLEM)

Nate Wiggins is a long, athletic corner displaying tremendous effort on tape. He ran well, and he could very well end up being the top corner on some boards for teams. Efficient in man coverage due to his fluidity, he also appears to have some comfortability in zone coverage. He’ll drift from time-to-time while in zone, but his ball skills are promising with 19 pass deflections and three interceptions in two seasons.
