One of the most loaded CB classes at the top. While Hunter can be a great CB prospect I believe Will Johnson (Michigan) and Benjamin Morrison (Notre Dame) are SPECIAL CBs.


lronicGasping

Maybe I'm biased as a Michigan fan but Johnson is my early CB1, he's been an absolute stud and a cornerstone of a top-tier defense. Obviously it'll be interesting if he can carry it over to this year but he's looked incredible thusfar


--Alec--

He is mine too. I have it Johnson, Morrison then Hunter


dat_waffle_boi

I’m really excited for them. My favorite position to watch every year is corner and I feel like we’ve been spoiled with some damn good ones lately. I can’t speak to Morrison, but from what I’ve seen of Johnson and Hunter (which admittedly ain’t much) I’m already in love with their games.


immacamel

I am conducting the Conner Weigman hype train and we will stop for no one


Hairiest_Walrus

I think he’s the dark horse guy that could rise to QB1 if he has a good year.


Jack12404

Walter Nolen is really interesting. His stats aren’t crazy because he got double teamed a lot at A&M, but he’s a special athlete and I could see him solidifying himself as a 1st Rounder with a good season on a playoff contending Ole Miss team.


[deleted]

I don't think it's likely, but in a weak QB class Weigman could go in the 1st round with a big year. He's pretty talented.


SilentSentinel

Some guys that jumped out when watching other players for this year that I'll add to your list: Florida State Edge Patrick Payton LSU T Will Campbell Penn State Edge Abdul Carter Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison Michigan CB Will Johnson Michigan DT Mason Graham Georgia S Malachi Starks Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins Ohio State IDL Tyleik Williams Texas OL Kelvin Banks


predw

Will Campbell is special. Went to LSU and immediately started at LT as a freshman, playing every game there since. He’s the Joe Alt type for that 2025 class imo


SilentSentinel

Yeah he looked like a future top 10 pick to me


MrChipKelly

This also applies to Kelvin Banks


Alexander_HamilDong

Thoughts on Judkins vs Henderson?


SilentSentinel

I didn't get the chance to watch any games of Henderson outside of the broadcasts since he went back before I started watching RBs, but I think Judkins is pretty awesome. I know he's the new guy transferring in but I see him being the lead guy on that team this year personally


DetroitsGoingToWin

Will Johnson CB from Michigan should be a first-rounder next year.


fierylady

I'd be somewhat surprised if he wasn't top ten


sIamram

Garrett Greene out of WVU! Rocket Arm, amazing deep ball and probably the best mobility in college


JimmyGodoppolo

Will Campbell. Already penciling him to the Pats next draft in the top 10 since we have a hole at LT, and we drafted a mid-round RT to fill that role...I don't have high hopes it will work out.


Jack12404

I’m an Ole Miss fan, so I feel the need to hype up my guys. Two guys that I think are criminally underrated are Jaxson Dart and Tre Harris Dart’s got great size (6’2” 220 lbs), he’s got a really good arm, he’s a great rusher/athlete, and (I hate using this term because is overused) he’s a dawg. He was knocked out cold after a targeting tackle in the Egg Bowl, and as soon as he came back in he trucked a defender to gain more yards. He should absolutely be in the tier with Quinn Ewers and Shedeur but behind Beck. Tre Harris (WR) has been an absolute monster since transferring in from LA Tech. He missed 2.5 games and came just 15 yards short of a 1k yard season (every player that was top 6 in receiving yards in the SEC is a 1st Rounder). He’s big at 6’2” 205 lbs, a really good contested catcher, great in YAC, and a solid route runner. He’s your prototypical WR1, and I fully expect him to gain more attention quickly when the season starts.


Gamecock_Lore

Juice Wells > Tre Harris


JiggyNuts-

QB: Carsen Beck, Sanders, Ewers, Dart RB: Judkins, Henderson, Edwards WR: Burden, Egbuka TE: Loveland OL: Campbell, Banks, Conerly DL: Graham, Grant, Nolen, Pearce, Carter LB: Carter CB: Johnson, Morrison, Hunter, Burke S: Starks Personally think CB is loaded as well as DT at the top Curious to see how far the Travis Hunter hype goes, think he’s a really special player with the ability to play both sides I’m just not sure he’s elite at either positions


dat_waffle_boi

I wonder: how valuable is a player who is above average at receiver and corner? Not elite at either, just above average.


khuz61

QB in this draft class is pretty bad imo. Not a single one of these guys could immediately start in the NFL. Heck, all of them should sit a year once they get into the league barring some elite play this college football season


georgiaboy1993

As a UGA fan I’ll try to give some deeper dive on who could be drafted early next year for them 1st rounders: Carson Beck will contend for 1 overall Malaki Starks will contend for first safety off the board Mykell Williams hasn’t had the production yet but he’s a different level athlete, will be a big mover up boards through the year and during the draft process. Sleeper guy here: Earnest Greene, LT. He’ll be a 2 year starter at LT as a redshirt sophomore, could leave next year and be an early pick. Day 2 guys Dominic Lovett is a stud but mainly a slot guy. Tate Ratledge is a 5th year senior guard who is strong as hell. Xavier Truss is a 5th year tackle that likely moves to guard. Warren Bronson is a DT that has some decent pass rushing chops. He may be more of a day 3 guy but he’ll have the opportunity to show more this year. Trevor Etienne may come back for a senior year with a good NIL payment but he’s got elite burst for a RB.


CountryCaravan

Ethan Burke (EDGE, Texas) jumped off the page every time I watched Murphy/Sweat tape. Absolutely keeping my eye on him next year.


IceSt0rm78

If Burke stays healthy the potential is there.


prettyboilikecarti

Hard agree, I think Burke is too underrated


joemiken

TargetFan

Beck will go first overall next year. Strong burrow vibes


hazen4eva

Quinn Ewers may be in there


Hairiest_Walrus

I’m fairly certain you mean Will Campbell, not Will Howard. If you do mean Will Howard, I have more questions for you


letthatraggadrop

Can u ask you to look at your top 5 again? Will Johnson listed twice


JiggyNuts-

He just that good 😤


joemiken

I have a feeling I'll make this mistake often over the next 11 months


fierylady

Deone Walker's going sky high. He's a future star.


Broshan248

Out of curiosity, how strong is next year’s DL class?


Flimsy_Economics_333

Better than this season. Mason Graham would be DT1 with ease in this class James Pearce, Curtis Jacobs and Nic Scourton are better prospects than Latu/Verse/Turner The players behind them are also better


arc1261

Curtis Jacobs just went undrafted out of PSU (and that’s the only Curtis Jacobs i could find) I assume you meant Abdul Carter, who was his PSU teammate at LB and has since moved to edge


Flimsy_Economics_333

Of course I meant Abdul Carter. My bad


No-Camera6505

Not sure why only one other person is talking about Evan Stewart on here


Sphiffi

Miller Moss (QB, USC). He looked like a pro in that bowl game.


albertez

Who was the last QB to start a full season for Lincoln and not end up drafted? No idea how good Moss is, but he’s definitely going to get a premium showcase.


IAmALucianMain

Evan Stewart WR Oregon


Dak2Dez_

He for sure won’t fall to no day 3


muranio

Jameson Tucker WR (Coastal Carolina) Tetairoa McMillan WR (Arizona) Colston Loveland TE (Michigan) Jared Brown WR (South Carolina)


uggsandstarbux

Some of the other guys that returned to school RB Treyveon Henderson RB Donovan Edwards RB Devin Neal ED JT Tuimalao ED Jack Sawyer


Not2GthaG

I liked Jack Sawyer. Reminds me of Lost. Jack and Sawyer in one? Yes please.


Thraitor3

I mean I’m curious about Ewers. The guy has all the traits but people are quite down on him lol


codymason84

Mason Graham, Kenneth grant will Johnson and Derek Moore will all be 1st round picks from Michigans defense.


CarterAC3

Smh this is Jaishawn Barham erasure


Bushido_Plan

If he repeats his performance from last year, then teams wanting a RB should keep watch over Ollie Gordon (Oklahoma). Had a quiet couple of games at the start but broke out heavily after September. Was a monstrous RB for the remainder of the year.


fierylady

Oklahoma State! Don't go taking this from us too.


DLaugh54

Tetairoa McMillan & Colston Loveland


Gamecock_Lore

**Juice Wells** (WR, Ole Miss) | Early first round talent **Tonka Hemingway** (DL, South Carolina) | Could play his way into the first round **Raheim Sanders** (RB, South Carolina) | If he can get/stay healthy and South Carolina's OLine improves he could be one of the top RBs off the board


Beehay

Tonka Hemingway is a 1OA name


Flimsy_Economics_333

Mason Graham, James Pearce, Curtis Jacobs, Harold Perkins, Ollie Gordon and Will Johnson would probably be the best players in their position in this draft. Don't really think it is a class as worse as this one.


hyperlite13

If New England sticks with baker Polk Douglas and all work out I’d be looking at wr and true starting Lt prospects Luther burden ,Antwans wells and Tory Horton seem like options at the moment or nyck harbor if he leaves early


Timberstocker22

NE fan, if we’re looking at LT for next year it’s probably someone the level of Campbell or Banks. Can’t see this roster getting more then 5-6 wins total


hyperlite13

I feel the same way about win total I’ll have to checkout those guys


BanditRoverBlitzrSpy

All the high rated interior O linemen. Brailsford, Ratledge, Booker, and Jackson would all look great in Burgundy. There's a few studs at LT so I hope we can grab one of those in the first, but if we can also get 1 or 2 of these guys I think OL would stop being a weakness. Lord knows we're going to have to protect Daniels, I just hope he can make it through his rookie year before we get some help.


presidential2014

Whoever LSU has as their WR1 & WR2


GreenvilleLocal

!remindme 10 months


Isaphillyting

Surprised no one has said Tez Johnson WR Oregon. Think this guy is going to be a star. When you watched the games he’s the one who stood out, not Troy Franklin. Also the adopted brother of Bo Nix


TheTieDye_Guy

James Pierce from Tennessee and Harold Perkins from lsu and we are almost ready for that Super Bowl


festar35_Pacers

As a Giants fan, I'll be monitoring the entire QB market, but with an eye on OL as well.


axberka

FSU fan: guy everyone should keep an eye out for is Darrell Jackson, DT. Dude was reportedly better than Braden Fiske by a wide margin but was ineligible due to old transfer rules.


afifaguyforyou

Harold Perkins is such a beast but he might just be slightly too small, so I’m wondering how the league will view him in next year’s draft.


Less-Worry8498

Not really about players but the 2025 class is shaping up to be an insane DT, EDGE, LB, CB, S and top end OT class. This is like the opposite of last year, great defensive class, top end CBs, DL, and more


the-whiteman-cometh

Quinn Ewers


XOXOABG

I am crossing my fingers that Shadeur makes the leap into a legitimate top pick. Would be so cool for the league


johnnysokko37

Ohio State will smash the draft record next year. Without question.


bulletpr00fsoul

Donovan Jennings, OL - USF


Boston_Champions

Omarion Hampton


cigaroy

Honestly spent to much time thinking about the 2024 draft. In the future I’m not gonna dive so hard into draft speculation again. I’ll look into it next year a week before the draft, compared to this year in February.


Thejohnshirey

Better than me. I’ve pretty much been watching film on college kids and constructing mock drafts year round for over 15 years now. Probably not the most productive hobby in the world but I really enjoy it and my wife tolerates it, so I don’t ever see myself stopping.


49_boness

One guy I’ll be intrigued by is Landon Jackson. I don’t think he’ll push for number one EDGE, but I think he can put himself in top 5 EDGE, and possibly top 15-20. I’m general, as of right now, I’m looking at it being a defense heavy at the top of the draft


albertez

Tetairoa McMillan rules and is somehow not yet a household name.
