With the Combine in the rearview, teams and analysts try to put the puzzle pieces together for the 2024 NFL Draft. Prospects such as Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall carried their Senior Bowl week momentum all the way through the athletic testing in Indy. Underclassmen wide receivers such as Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell (both out of Texas) and Brian Thomas Jr. out of LSU lit up the track. Top tier quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye opted not to throw at the Combine, but that opened the door for other signal callers like Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix. The “draft process” matters, but ultimately stacking a big board always defaults back to the multiple years of tape throughout college careers.
