NFL Draft 2024 prospects: Way-too-early Top 50 prospect rankings feat. Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and more

Top 50 2024 NFL Draft prospects rankings 20-11

#20 - Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Smith's teammate at LSU, Malik Nabers will be among the higher echelons of wide receivers drafted in 2024. Nabers looks to follow in the footsteps of LSU superstars such as Odell Beckham Jr., Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase.

He amassed 1,017 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, but is primed for a breakout after teammate Kayshon Boutte was drafted this season.

#19 - Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

Iowa v Minnesota

Iowa CB Cooper DeJean is another play-making corner coming out for the 2024 NFL Draft. DeJean had five picks, three pick-sixes and eight PBUs in 2022 alone, something which must put scouts on high-alert.

He's 6-feet, 1-inch and 209 pounds, and his ability to jump coverages will appeal to teams across the league

#18 - Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State

A five-star recruit coming out of high school, Jackson may be the first guard taken in the 2024 draft.

His 6-feet, 4-inches, 320-pound frame intimidates defensive linemen, and his hands explode into contact. His ability to protect the QB will surely see him drafted in the top 20.

#17 - Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington

Washington Huskies edge rusher Bralen Trice was one of the most productive defensive linemen in college football in 2022.

He totaled 10 sacks and 39 total tackles, and his power and motor will appeal to teams across the NFL coming into the draft season.

#16 - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State

Ohio State v Penn State

There may not be a talent like Bijan Robinson in terms of rushers coming out in 2024, but TreVeyon Henderson of Ohio State may stake a claim to be the best.

Henderson suffered a broken bone in his foot in 2022, which saw him miss substantial time, but in 2021, he had over 1,200 yards and 19 total touchdowns.

#15 - Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Washington Huskies have two stud receivers heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, in Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze.

Odunze had 1,145 yards and seven scores last year as he set career highs in all major receiving categories. His 6-feet, 3-inches, 201-pound frame will have scouts salivating, as he has the capability to catch contested balls, and is also an excellent RAC wideout.

#14 - Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama

Dallas Turner will look to follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Will Anderson by being selected high up in the draft.

Turner isn't quite as imposing as Anderson, but has versitility, speed and bend which will be an asset at the next level. Also, his 12.5 sacks over the last two years display his production.

#13 - Michael Hall Jr., DT, Ohio State

Ohio State DT Michael Hall Jr. may be seen as some as an undersized player, but his ability to wreak havoc will see him drafted early in 2024.

Hall Jr. had 4.5 sacks in 2022, and his power and burst will surely see him selected in the upper echelons of the draft.

#12 - JC Latham, OT, Alabama

Given how many franchise QBs are currently in the NFL, protecting them is paramount for all GMs.

Alabama right tackle JC Latham is arguably the best in his position in this class, and his 6-feet, 6-inches, 335 pounds makes him an intriguing prospect. He also has rare athleticism for a man his size. Combining that with his strength will put all scouts on high alert.

#11 - Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

Louisville v Clemson

Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter is a playmaker who will surely be a success in the NFL.

Carter is always in the thick of the action, logging 73 total tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions in 2022 alone. Whoever is lucky enough to draft the Clemson LB will have themselves a day-one starter and defensive lynchpin.
