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 10-1

#10 - Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State

Ohio State continues to be 'Wide Receiver University', as Emeka Egbuka looks to be one of the top wideouts selected in 2024.

Egbuka had 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 as he lined up alongside the likes of Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He will be unlucky to make it out of the top 15 in the draft, as NFL teams know OSU wide receivers tend to be home-run hits in the pros.

#9 - Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

Mississippi State v Alabama

Kool-Aid McKinstry looks likely to become the next top Alabama corner to enter the NFL.

McKinstry had a huge 15 pass deflections in 2022, as well as 39 total tackles and an interception. It will take a huge drop-off in 2023 for Kool-Aid to not be drafted in the top 10 of the upcoming draft.

#8 - J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State

Another Ohio State prospect with freakish athleticism is edge rusher J.T. Tuimoloau. Tuimoloau's blend of power, speed and burst helped him have an excellent breakout campaign in 2022.

Tuimoloau had 10.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble and four pass deflections, all displaying his elite playmaking ability.

#7 - Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State

Another edge rusher who will be drafted in the upper echelons in 2024. Verse, an Albany transfer, had an excellent breakout season in 2022.

Verse logged nine sacks and 17 TFLs for the Seminoles, and his blend of power, burst and quick hands will put NFL GMs on high alert.

#6 - Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl - Ohio State v Georgia

The biggest receiving threat at tight end by a long way in the 2024 draft will be Georgia's Brock Bowers. During his first two years with the Bulldogs, Bowers has had 20 touchdowns, along with 1,824 receiving yards.

Look for Bowers to be have the same hype Kyle Pitts did when he entered the league back in 2021.

#5 - Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

Brigham Young v Notre Dame

Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt is a monster frame, but he backs it up with his athleticism at the point of attack.

Alt is 6-feet, 8-inches and 315 pounds, but as a former tight end he has a certain bend to his game, allowing him to be extremely flexible for his stature.

#4 - Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

Drake Maye is the consensus QB2 heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The North Carolina signal-caller passed for 38 touchdowns against just seven interceptions in a breakout campaign in 2022.

He's big-bodied at 6-feet, 4-inches and 220 pounds, but is able to evade pressure and escape the pocket despite this. Many quarterback-hungry teams will be looking to trade up to draft Maye when the 2024 draft rolls around.

#3 - Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State

Along with Joe Alt, Olumuyiwa Fashanu is seen by the majority of scouts and analysts as the top offensive line prospects heading into the 2023 season.

Penn State's Fashanu is 6-feet, 6-inches and 309 pounds. Despite his size, he's an elite athlete with quick feet and strong hands to uphold edge rushers.

#2 - Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

Being the son of a Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver may weigh heavy on some, but Marvin Harrison Jr. looks set to be a consensus top-5 pick in 2024.

Harrison Jr. is, of course, the son of former Colts wideout Marvin Harrison, and has been compared to DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green by many scouts.

He had 77 receptions, 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2022, all of which ranked within the top 20 in the nation. Harrison Jr. will be an immediate starter and WR1 for the majority of NFL teams already.

#1 - Caleb Williams, QB, USC

The consensus top pick heading into the 2023 collegiate season is USC quarterback Caleb Williams.

Williams had a superb 2022 campaign, passing for 42 touchdowns, the most in the NCAA last year. He also had over 4,000 passing yards and just five picks, displaying his elite accuracy.

Williams is an off-the-cuff play-making stud who has a tough competitive edge that'll help him fit in well in any NFL locker room.
