The 2024 NFL Draft is almost here and the scouting process is mostly done. Teams have been working on the class for the last few years with players having been playing college football upward of the last five seasons.
Crafting a big board is a difficult proposition. There are many elements to consider with a big board. You can craft it focusing on the best players in the class regardless of team needs and positions, build them with a focus on premium positions or a team-focused one that prioritizes needs and play styles.
The way I crafted my top 100 is really simple. I was able to fully watch 100 players and then I ranked them based on my grading scale, which you can find here along with links to every one of my scouting reports.
If they aren't on my big board, I didn't watch them. Personally, I'd rather just not rank them then give a grade on a player without having fully fleshed out the tape and analytical profile. I watched every one that is expected to go in round one but missed some of the day two guys due to time. I want to be genuine with my process and not makeup grades just to have them done. To me, that isn't a genuine process.
There might be some gaps, but there is confidence with every player on this list. Here are my top 100 players in the 2024 NFL Draft.
