Whiskey Riff

With only two weeks remaining before the 2024 NFL Draft opens, it’s time to dive into the best prospects available. While the vast majority of this write-up will focus on the quarterbacks — let’s face it, that’s what everyone cares most about — we can’t overlook how stacked this incoming rookie class is at premium positions. Offensive line play is at a premium more than ever in the NFL. Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt feels like one of the highest-floor o-line prospects to come out in recent memory, and I would consider at least seven, maybe eight other big boys in the trenches worthy of a first-round pick. Not to mention, this wide receiver class is ridiculous. Feels like that’s a narrative every year, yet it’s true. That’s probably why the San Francisco 49ers are reticent to fork over big money to Brandon Aiyuk. Same with Tee Higgins on the Bengals.
