We know there’s a lot of intrigue surrounding the quarterback class of the 2024 NFL Draft when it comes to who’s below USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels.
But the wide receiver class really should be the focus. In our latest mock from Christian D’Andrea, there are FIVE wideouts who are taken on the opening night. And in latest NFL Draft rankings from ESPN’s Matt Miller there are four wideouts in the top 20: Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. (who will skip the combine this week) at No. 2, LSU’s Malik Nabers (No. 3), Washington’s Rome Odunze (No. 4) and Nabers’ teammate Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 16.
Here’s his take on Thomas:
Thomas broke onto the scene as the LSU downfield passing game developed in 2023. He caught 68 passes for 1,177 yards (17.3 per grab) and a nation-leading 17 touchdown catches. Thomas’ 6-foot-4 frame and awesome wingspan allow him to separate over the top of defenders, and he has the speed to run right past unassuming cornerbacks.
There you have it! Make sure to check out Christian D’Andrea’s latest NFL mock draft.
