2024 5 Star College Football DRAFT RANKINGS
EXPLANATION OF GRADING
2024 DRAFT REVIEW:
MY VIEWS ON DRAFT EVALUATION:
I decided to stay with simple letter grades for rating team picks and overall draft. Everybody understands them, they will range from A+ to F. The ratings are round sensitive, I will use a multipliers each round and for number of picks. The Draft is one of my primary reasons for this site, for decades I've watched teams make consistent mistakes and all out failures. Every year I still hear some classic cliches and archaic sayings like "you can't teach speed" the ever popular "best player available" and the more recent additions "He had a great Pro Day" or "He blew up the Combine" Following these thought processes consistently blows up in the face of drafting team. If teams would simply draft the best player to fill needs on their team in the proper round draft failures would be minimized. To me the only things that cannot be taught are Height and Heart!! And if you ignore several years of film and game production for a player who tests well in shorts and a t-shirt you deserve what you get! So yes my innovative views on NFL draft coverage differ wildly but watch, yes I miss one now and then but I'll take the pepsi challenge with anybody out there that mine are more accurate. Starting next year I will be doing my version of a nfl mock draft also. Yes it will be different.
PLAYER GRADING:
Factors in grading are the players draft rating, fit for scheme and lastly need. Some players may receive a higher grade than those with higher Draft Rating due to better scheme fit or filling a primary or secondary need. Points will be lost for drafting players with lower draft ratings than position drafted or questions on scheme fit or need. These decisions are based solely my own judgement and evaluations. I often differ significantly from so called "Experts" and Draft rooms around the NFL, I also will point out organizations for their failures and continued failures. I do not care who doesn't like it, unlike others I will call it just as I see it with 0.0 worry who I offend!!
TEAM DRAFT GRADING:
My team grading is based on simple math using the initial letter grade and points for a start. I will then add multiplier #1, this is the round sensitive grade, higher rounds receive a higher multiplier and lower receive a lower multiplier, simple enough I believe. The reasoning for this is higher round picks carry more importance due to talent available and of course Salary Cap implications which can cripple a Franchise. Teams that consistently overdraft limit future movements in Free Agency, also this can limit the Franchise when it comes to the all important 2nd contract for core players. This is often overlooked but a vital component in a successful franchise. Overdrafting in my opinion is the single most overlooked and easily dismissed componant in failing franchises. In '21 I added multiplier#2 this comes from the number of picks a team makes. this multiplier will work both ways. There are 7 rounds so that is the base number, over 7 picks the team will a positive multiplier and under 7 picks a negative multiplier. This will achieve better accuracy as to which team has the true Best Draft. I've looked at numerous other draft grades from so called "experts" and they are a joke, mostly A's an B's when in reality if you look at history you will find far more average or below average grades after 3 years. My Drafts and grades will be saved in my History section for review after 3 and 5 years, you will not find that information on other sites. NEW IMPROVED GRADING FOR '22. New for this season, I felt I was in need of some adjustments so I tightened things up just a touch from last season. So after much thought and experimentation. NEW FOR "23. A small change as I went to 3 digits past the decimal for all scores, just more accurate.
My Draft Grades.
TEAM GRADING SCALE
A+ Over 6.00 C+ 3.50 to 3.99
A 5.75 to 5.99 C 3.00 to 3.49
A- 5.50 to 5.74 C- 2.75 to 2.99
B+ 5.00 to 5.49 D+ 2.50 to 2.74
B 4.50 to 4.99 D 2.25 to 2.49
B- 4.00 to 4.49 D- 2.00 to 2.24
F 0.0 to 2.00
Base- Is the average of Player grades. Grades are set by using the following criteria. My rating of the player. How soon the player will be able to contribute. Team need at the position. Fit with the teams coaching and scheme. Players on the board when the pick was made.
Mutiplier #1-Take the picks and add in Multiplier for the round, 1st round highest and so on. The top 3 rounds are by far the most important so they carry the most weight and impact the final score the most. My ratings also reward teams for quality picks in the later rounds but at a much lower rate.
Multiplier #2 This multiplier is much smaller but still very important in determining the top drafts.Take the number of picks overall and add Multiplier #2. 7 round draft so 7 is nuetral, over 7 adds to score under 7 lowers score each pick over or under changes the multiplier. Of course a draft can be made by one pick but teams that year in and year out compete for the title need multiple players from each draft to become starters.
Grade= Final Grade, Simple enough!

TEAM RANKING THOUGHTS:
WHAT NO F's!! 25 teams at B- or better? WTF!!! Yes while grading this draft and seeing the high scores coming together I started questioning myself. It's a RARE year when this many teams draft so well, that's just reality. I have said before none of the draft"experts" give any team below a C- and mostly A's and B's as to not offend anyone. Well I don't care about that, I'm about being honest and RIGHT!! So I'll call them as I seeing em,learn from my mistakes and trust my process on this draft and own my success or failure.

DRAFT GRADING COMPARISONS
This season I'll begin to compare my grades directly with others in the business so you can all see who is more accurate. I'M CONFIDENT that i will be on top most seasons. Unfortunatly I cannot put Kiper's most recent failure up due to ESPN hiding it on their pay to see list. I will list by my Rankings 1-32 for easy reference. I will compare grades with these sites

PLAYER EVALUATIONS
2024 QUARTERBACK BACK OVERVIEW/OVERALL GRADE C+
This season as most, QB's have risen to where as many as 5 could be 1st round picks with 3 in the Top 10, I DO NOT concur with these assessments..History tells us that most of these players with fail to live up to the unreasonable expectations put upon them and be with another team within 4 years! I see two 1st round talent and one has major character questions.So here is my '23 QB class
2024 QUARTERBACK RANKINGS
Rank Name School Ht Wt Rtg Rnd Value
1.Bo Nix Ore 6-2 215 93 Mid 1st
UNDERRATED ALERT! Best all around talent, tough, faced adversity, doesn't get sacked or turnover the ball. He'll get drafted later and be a steal.
2.Caleb Williams USC 6-1 215 90 Late 1st
CHARACTER ALERT!! All world talent, HIGHLY questionable attitude/intangables/family. He will get drafted No 1 likely and be added to the list of poor draft decisions by NFL Excecs!
3.Spencer Rattler SCar 6-0 215 88 Mid 2nd
UNDERATED ALERT! Big arm, athletic enough. played in wrong system, he can excell in right scheme. He'll get drafted much later.
4.Michael Penix Wash 6-3 215 87 Mid 2nd
Tremendous athlete but consistency is an issue. All world one play and WTF? The next. Has a TREMONDOUSLY high upside if you can get the light to stay on.
5.Drake Maye NCar 6-6 225 86 Late 2nd
BUST ALERT!! Lacks arm strength and mobility to be elite. I don't see him ever rising about Top 15
6.Jayden Daniels LSU 6-3 195 84 Mid 3rd
BUST ALERT!!! A taller Bryce Young and had him right last season! One great season with great recievers. VERY SLIGHT build and going to apoor team he'll get pounded. Average arm strength at best. He could be effective in right scheme but never elite. He will get drafted VERY high and be termed a bust.
7.J J McCarthey Mich 6-3 200 82 Early 4th
Always be wary of QB's that rise quickly after the season is over! Has some upside, athletic, smart but arm is average, slight build, limited pro level throws in college. Likely a career B/U who can start in a pinch.
8.Devin Leary Ky 6-1 215 81 Mid 4th
He can ascend to QB2 in the right scheme.
9.Michael Pratt Tula 6-3 220 80 Late 4th
Nice size and arm for a long term B/U.
10.Austin Reed WKy 6-1 230 78 Mid 5th
SLEEPER ALERT!! Well coached, decent arm, likely ceiling QB2 but could surprise with patience and hard work and the right scheme.
11.Jordan Travis FlaSt 6-1 210 73 Mid 6th
Should be a solid B/U for years, no real starter tools.
12.Joe Milton Tenn 6-5 242 72 Late 6th
BUST ALERT!! Some team will fall for the measurables and over draft him.Strongest arm in class by far, ABSOLUTE CANNON, he's been trying to learn how to control it for 5 years, not likely to happen at this level. Worth a late round gamble.
13.Phill Jurkovec Pitt 6-5 235 71 Early 7th
Former ELITE recruit who bounced around CFB for years, could hold on to a roster spot for a couple years.
14.Garret Schrader Syr 6-5 228 70 Mid 7th
SLEEPER ALERT!! He can go either way, be cut in training camp or make a team and move up to QB2
15.B Armstrong NCSt 6-1 210 68 PFA
I once thought much more of him, his development stalled, I WAS WRONG, he'll be lucky to last long.
16.Carter Bradley SAla 6-3 216 67 UDFA
Nice size and decent arm could hold a roster spot.
17.Jack Plummer Louis 6-4 215 66 UDFA
SLEEPER ALERT! He could surprise in right scheme and be a solid QB2.
18.Sam Hartman N D 6-1 210 65 UDFA
Tough gritty, very smart and experienced, could be QB3 before he goes into coaching.
19.J R Plumlee UCF 6-0 200 64 UDFA
Nice athlete, versatile, could make a team as a QB3 if he embraces that trait.
20.Gunnar Watson Troy 6-3 205 62 UDFA
Camp arm.
21.T Tagovioloa MD 5-11 200 60 UDFA
Camp arm

OUTSIDE RECEIVERS
Players best suited for the traditional Wide receiver position. Quickness and long speed both important but a big body than can still run can be very effective, strong hands, catch radius, route running and discipline are vital. Most will play on the primarily outside,some are able to move inside and be effective.

Players I deem best suited for playing primarily at the inside receiver position. Some more quick than fast, some lanky types with good hands and limited speed, some big bodied types than are not Tight Ends can find a home here. With the many diferent offenses teams operate they can find spots for all, if they are smart enough.

With a limited pass rush ability he'll need to make it inside.

2024 4-3 MIDDLE LINEBACKER OVERALL CLASS RATING D
With the proliferation of 4-2-5 defenses popping up in CFB this position is getting phased out, few teams still use the spot the same.So look for this position to continue to fall from grace.
4-3 MIDDLE LINEBACKER RATINGS
Traditional inside MLB's suited for a single inside set. capable to defend both run and pass efficiently. Often QB of defense so intelligence vital piece of the puzzle. This can and does trump pure physical prowless and I will rate someone with high football IQ over physical talent, a quick search of the NFL's greatest MLB's will explain my thought process.

I'm not sure why some don't like this kid, great production, athletic, 3 down player, smart, strong, quick, fast, reponible for 9 turnovers the past two seasons. He will start year one and have a very nice career.
2.Jeremiah Trotter Clem 6-0 230 85 Early 3rd
OVERRATED ALERT!! Some have him much higher, as high as 1st round, primarily due to pass rush skills. Not always the strongest against the run to me, a primary job of a MLB. still a solid player.
3.Nathaniel Watson MissSt 6-2 245 83 Late 3rd
This guy really blew up over the past two seasons. 250 tackles, 16 sacks, and 4 turnovers as well as running the defense. Not the most tech sound player but he just makes plays all over the field. He'll be drafted lower than this because he won't test well but the kids a beast and not only will he contribute year one on defense , he will be a fixture on special teams, great team 1st player.
4.Tom Eichenberg OhioSt 6-2 239 82 Early 4th

2.Edefuan Ulofosio Wash 6-0 234 84 Mid 3rd
I've been waiting 4 EFFIN YEARS for this 6 year player to realize how good he can be, last season it finally showed, but consistency still an issue. FREAKISH ATHLETE!!

Rock solid, well coached, always where he should be. Average athlete, a bit undersized but should be a nice addition to any team.
4.Steele Chambers OhSt 6-1 232 82 Early 4th
Former RB still learning the position, another season would have helped. Strong in coverage, offers little in pass ruch, covers the field with ease. Likely Special Teams demon.

For some reason there is a debate on this guy. He has everything you want. Size, quickness, speed, so strong in run support some think he should play Safety, he does it all and at a sky-high level. Plus he is wildly dangerous as a punt returner. Multi-time ALL PRO HERE.
2.Terrion Arnold Ala 6-0 198 93 Mid 1st
Another premium prospect who has it all. No holes in his game plays a major attitude, in a good way! Great Size, quickness, speed , run support and very well coached. Day one Starter, he will have more than one ALL PRO season.
3.K A McKinstry Ala 6-0 196 92 Late 1st
Another day one starter here, a half step behind the top 2 athletically but even more polished and ready to start. Only negative is , he has limited upside, likely neer his peak right now. Only 2 career INT's is a concern.
4.Quin Mitchell Tol 6-0 195 91 Late 1st
Strong, physical CB with no fear of run support. 37 PD's and 6 INT's last two season when teams were avoiding him. Domminant at time. He'll need some adjustment time after playing in MAC but has the tools to make that happen.
5.T J Tampa IoSt 6-1 195 89 Early 2nd
Great size, checks all the boxes on athleticism. Strong in run support, elite in man or zone. only 3 career INT's but teams avoided him whenever possible.
6.Nate Wiggins Clem 6-2 189 87 Late 2nd

7.Kamari lassiter Ga 6-0 188 85 Early 3rd
He had his best season last fall, improved in all areas especially in run support but still could have used another year of work at College level.

Some see him at FS but I like him much better here, he gets downhill very nice but lateral movements are not his strength nor is his long speed, best suited for in the box. He can handle TE's and RB's in pass game but thta's it.
2.Jaden Hicks WaSt 6-2 212 85 Early 3rd
Much like Nubin but even more restricted to in the box play. Big hitter with no fear, he will need some work in coverages. Not his strength but he has enough athleticism to be adequate
3.James Williams Mia(F) 6-4 230 84 Mid 3rd
Built like a LB and may well end up there but I'll keep him here. Solid straight ahead quickness but long speed lacking as is lateral quickness.. He will attack in run support and is a handful to block but does over commit at times and is out of position to make the play. Poor College coaching did him no favors.
4.Kenny Logan Kan 6-0 205 83 Late 3rd
UNDERRATED ALERT!! Likely Day 3 pick.ALL others are down on him because he won't test well, and that's why they are so often wrong. I see over 300 tackles the past 3 seasons, hit's like a truck, likely a Special teams monster. Yes he will need some work in coverage and some control in run support but worth the wait.

8.Jaylon Carlies Mo 6-3 219 78 Early 5th

Has the best all around game in the group. Excellent quickness and long speed, a bit undersized but plays tough and bigger and fearless. 11 INT's last two season so ball skills are excellent, provides solid run support when needed.
2.Calen Bullock USC 6-2 190 85 Early 3rd
Great size, quick enough with good recovery speed but not a blazer. Rock solid in run support. Plus ball skills, has a INT TD return each of the last two seasons. He could move to SS and excel there as well
3.Javon Bullard Ga 5-10 197 83 Late 3rd
Excellent quickness and speed, built like a CB but coverage skills are inconsistent, gambles at times and pays for it. Very good in run support and should be excellent on Special Teams.
4.Evan Williams Ore 6-0 202 82 Early 4th
Covers the entire field, excels in run support, excellent tackler and hard hitter for size. Has some struggles in coverage and ball skills need some work, he could move to SS but strength in lacking, a tweener. He should quickly become one of the top Special Teamers on the team.
5.Khyree Jackson Ore 6-3 193 82 Early 4th
College CB who I think will need to make it here. He will be drafted at CB but his average coverage skill translate so much better here. Long, great speed, excellent athleticism but only started one season.
6.Dec Richardson MissSt 6-2 190 81 Mid 4th
College CB with 0.0 career INT's and average ball skills. The good side is he is tough, hard nosed player who loves contact, over 160 tackles in past two seasons.. Has the mindset of a Safety so hopefully some GM will be smart enough to see that. But then a smart GM?
7.Tykee Smith Ga 5-11 200 80 Late 4th
Tough but undersized , average coverage skills but solid in run support and should excel at Special Teams.
8.Dajon Anthony Miss 5-11 191 77 Early 5th
Very good coverage skills but built like a CB and tackles like one also, likely career B/U.
9.Cam Hart ND 6-3 202 76 Mid 5th
College CB who I just don't see making it there with his career 2 INT's and 8 PD's the past two seasons. He'll have to make it here and on Special Teams, some team will take a shot on him at CB and that won't work.
10.Ro Torrance AzSt 6-3 210 76 Mid 5th
SLEEPER ALERT!! Another College CBwho will have to make it here. Again average ball skills but tremendous size, decent quickness and nice recovery speed. He should take well to Special Teams. This guy could really surprise with amove here.
11.Akeem Dent FlaSt 6-1 195 75 Late 5th
12.Josh Proctor OhSt 6-2 205 74 Early 6th
INJURY ALERT!! He once looked like a early Day 2 pick but staying on the field has been a problem. If you can keep him healthy he will be asteal here.
13.Shawn Preston MissSt 6-0 205 74 Early 6th
14.D Taylor Denison TxTc 5-10 190 73 Mid 6th

16.Jaq Sheppard Md 6-2 195 71 Early 7th
17.Ryan Watts Tx 6-3 206 71 Early 7th
College CB who had coaches do him no favors by not moving him to FS from Day one. Long, fast and decent in coverage and run support. A year on the practice squad will be quite beneficial, he could surprise, the talent is there.
18.Isaiah Johnson Syr 6-3 204 70 Mid 7th
Ivy League grad transfer so obviously very bright, 4 year starter at CB but if he has a chance it's here.
19.Jalen Key Ala 6-1 204 69 Late 7th
20.Jahdae Barron Tx 5-11 191 69 Late 7th
Very good in run support but coverage skill marginal at best.

22.Brandon Bishop Lib 6-0 195 67 UDFA

ROUNDS ONE/ TWO
Pk Team Name Pos Sch Grd
1.Chicago Caleb Williams QB USC B
CHARACTER ALERT!! Will he be another Mahomes or another Jeff George? Likely he will be some of both. His character is questionable for a good reason, talent is not the question.
2.Washington Jayden Daniels QB LSU D
BUST ALERT!!! I'm just not seeing the reasons for him going this high, slight frame, average arm strength at best, sure he's athletic but look at the receivers he had!
3.New England Drake Maye QB N Carloina D-
BUST ALERT!!! Bill is gone and they still can't draft, good kid, but average athlete, below average arm and from an offense that does not translate well to NFL. He will never be more than middle of the pack guy, NOT what you want at #3
4.Arizona Marvin Harrison Jr WR Ohio St A+
My top overall player, plug and play for 10 years plus, fills a major need he will be a n All Pro within 3 years if Murray can get his head out of his ass and realize how good he can be with some work.
5.LA Chargers Joe Alt LT Notre Dame A-
Great player, great value. They only lose points because they had bigger needs. That said I see the reasoning for the pick. Plug and play for 10+ years with ALL PRO potential. Harbaugh better hope he lives up to it.
6.NY Giants Malik Nabers WR LSU A
My "Most likely to become a WR DIVA" If he can keep his head on straight he can be a perennial ALL PRO. Or he may end up another Beckham, flash all the talent but toss it away with a poor attitude.
7.Tennessee J C Latham RT Alabama D
Rock solid player who will likely start year one and for a decade more. The problems are, WAY to early, better options on the board. I had a Mid 2nd grade on him. If they try him at LT he will fail, pure RT and nothing else.
8.Atlanta Micheal Pennix QB Washington B-
You pay a guy 100 Million to play QB then draft one, AT #8? With the offensive weapons on the board this pick makes little sense The raw talent is obvious but with his injury history and inconsistencies this pick is a head scratcher.
9.Chicago Rome Odunzie WR Chicago A
Great player, fills a major need, he should be able to handle the weather, rock solid pick.Thomas still has more upside in my opinion but I can for sure understand their thinking.
10.Minnesota J J McCarthy QB Michigan D
Think about all the players who rise meteorically after the season and tell me the pass/fail rate. IT'S NOT GOOD!! He can be a starter/quality QB2 in the league as he reminds me of a slightly more athletic Colt McCoy, so they avoid total; failure for the pick.,but you trade up for him? Someone will get fired for this pick.
11.NY Jets Olu Fashanu LT PennSt B
Solid in pass protection but inconsistent in run blocking, has the tools to make this pick work. That said, maulti year starter didn't do it at PSU.My ratings have better players on the board.
12.Denver Bo Nix QB Aub A+
UNDERRATED ALERT!! My #1 QB 6th QB taken, numerous teams will regret passing on him! He will be starting by mid season the latest.
13.Las Vegas Brock Bowers TE Ga A
Really more of a big WR if he is played that way he will be abeast, pure playmaker.
14.New Orleans Taliese Fuaga RT OreSt A
My #1 RT. As long as they don't try to move him to LT he will be a plug and play multi-year starter and Pro Bowler
15.Indianapolis Laiatu Latu DE UCLA A-
If he stays healthy this will be a great pick, worth the gamble. They lose a little due to better players on board.
16.Seattle Byron Murphy DT Tx F
BUST ALERT!!! WTF?? Major reach here. He;s not ready and should have gone back to school. He may produce in a couple years but not what you want here.
17.Minnesota Dallas Turner DE Ala A+
Top 10 talent at #17!! Nothing more to say!
18.Cincinnati Amarius Mims RT Ga A
Another player who must play the RT spot to reach his full potential, he should slide right into the line-up quickly.
19.LA Rams Jared Verse DE FlaSt A+
My #1 DE! They get him at #19, GREAT PICK
20.Pittsburgh Troy Fautanu G Wash A
Great scheme fit and fills a need, I had him as my #2 G but rated here for value, he will start sooner rather than later.
21.Miami Chop Robinson DE PennSt A-
They only lose a few points for a bit early and possibly better fits on the board.
22.Philadelphia Quinyon Mitchell CB Tol A
He has all the tools, he will need some work to get used to the speed difference from the MAC but that will happen, Solid pick
23.Jacksonville Brian Thomas WR LSU A+
He has more upside than any WR in the draft. Hopefully they won't waste it.
24.Detroit Terrion Arnold CB Ala A+
One of the top VALUE picks in the 1st round, teams that passed on him will regret it.
25.Green Bay Jordan Morgan LT Az D
Is he a RT or LT? My bet is he ends up at RT. Once you decide that, he's not a bad player but this is far to early to pick him and much better options on board.
26.Tampa Bay Graham Barton C/G Duke B\
Another who can play multiple spots, which one is best? A round to early and better options on board.
27.Arizona Darius Robinson DE Mo A
Very powerful and My #! 34 DE. He can excel if used correctly, he will start day one!
28.Kansas City Xavier Worthy SWR Tx A+
My Top SWR!! He can play outside but his slight build will be a problem. This staff is smart enough to know what. He will be a great fit.
29.Dallas Tyler Guyton RT Okl F
BUST ALERT!!! Another classic Jones pick!! Effin stupid reach. Not a bad player just three rounds early. This is why Dallas will NEVER win another Super Bowl as long as a Jones is in the building.
30.Baltimore Nate Wiggins CB Clem B
Has all the tools but typical of recent Clemson DB's, soft as hell in run game. Surprised to see the Ravens make this mistake with better fits on board.
31.SanFrancisco Ricky Pearsal SWR Fla D-
This would be the worst pick of the round if not for Dallas. This pick makes no sense, he would have been there two rounds later, at least!!
32.Carolina Xavier Legette WR SCar B
Nice player, perhaps they like his fit better than several others I have rated much higher, just a bit early for him here as well, this may work out fine for them.

Love this guy, he'll be driving DC's crazy for years. He should operate from the Slot for best results, outside he will struggle with bigger CB's.
