My newest and largest big board of the year is out now. I shared my top 200 players in the 2024 NFL Draft, and now I'll be releasing my positional rankings for each position.
Like every NFL Draft, the QB position has dominated the headlines. And this year's group has a ton of talent.
Seven QBs landed on my top 200 big board, but below are my top 15 QBs in this year's class.
2024 NFL Draft QB Rankings
1. Drake Maye, North Carolina
2. Caleb Williams, USC
3. Jayden Daniels, LSU
4. J.J. McCarthy, Michigan
One of the most talked about prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class. Coming off a National Championship at Michigan, J.J. McCarthy may not have lit up the stat book with his passing numbers, which led many to believe he wouldn't be a highly coveted draft prospect. But all signs point to McCarthy hearing his name called inside the top half of round one. While some may be confused by this, I think McCarthy has a lot of flashes on film that explains why teams view him so highly. A lot of his evaluation comes with projecting what he can be at the next level opposed to what we saw from him at Michigan due to him not being asked to display his full skill set in their offense. But it is evident on tape that McCarthy has an NFL-caliber arm, solid mobility, and great football IQ, on top of just turning 21 years old in January.
5. Michael Penix Jr., Washington
6. Spencer Rattler, South Carolina
7. Bo Nix, Oregon
8. Jordan Travis, Florida State
One of the biggest travesties of the college season was seeing Florida State left out of the College Football Playoffs due to them losing their starting QB, Jordan Travis, to a gruesome ankle injury. Travis and the Seminoles had an incredible season before the injury, and it has also led to some mystery around Travis as a draft prospect. Travis has his flaws as a prospect, such as his sporadic accuracy, and the injury doesn't help his draft stock. But every year after the top QBs come off the board, the QB-needy teams have to decide if there's a mid-round QB worth taking a flyer on to attempt and develop into a starting-level QB. In this class, if I were to choose a QB to take that shot on, it would be Travis and his big arm and mobility that would help his odds of working out in the NFL.
9. Austin Reed, Western Kentucky
10. Michael Pratt, Tulane
11. Joe Milton III, Tennessee
12. Carter Bradley, South Alabama
13. Devin Leary, Kentucky
14. Taulia Tagovailoa, Maryland
15. Sam Hartman, Notre Dame
