Top Player Rankings 2.0

Pre NFL Combine top 101 player rankings.

2024 NFL DRAFT

2/27/20243 min read

With the NFL Combine kicking off yesterday I wanted to push out a new player ranking that covers my top 101 prospects, or first three rounds of the draft. This is not a mock, it is simply how I have these players stacked on my big board. As we get to positions 80-101, I expect a handful of those players to be Day 3 guys because of team needs and preferences.

Looking back to my Post-Senior Bowl rankings, some of the names that have risen through my board include Michael Penix Jr. (↑14), Zach Fraizer (↑15), Jermaine Burton (↑17), Jaden Hicks (↑10). I also had big rises from off the board including Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, Zack Zinter and Trey Benson. A lot of these positions will continue to change as player fits become more apparent and I get to see multiple breakdowns of a player and how they stack up against the rest of the field.

As always, please feel free to message me on X, @NFLDraft_Westen, with your thoughts, arguments and complaints on players I have too high, too low or outside of the list.

Until next time, prost!
