PFN scouting report: Not only is Williams a fluid athlete with impressive change of direction, play strength, and functional speed, but he has uncommon instincts as a creator in space, and his effortless off-platform throwing ability makes him a two-phase threat from snap to whistle.

Williams creates at a level rarely seen, but he also has the traits to win as a passer, both from within and outside the pocket. He’s a good processor who has great leverage IQ and pressure sense. And unlike many creators, he doesn’t bail from the pocket to a fault. He knows how to manage his spacing and manipulate throwing windows under center.

PFN scouting report: Beyond his natural talent, Maye shows off very promising operational qualities for a young QB. There are still a few mechanical issues for him to chip away at, and his occasional lapses in decision making can be frustrating. But overall, Maye’s mental game is just as exciting as his physical upside.

Maye is a measured, precise, and instinctive passer who can test defenses in the intermediate and deep ranges. He’s better than Williams at maintaining pocket discipline, staying on rhythm, and taking what’s given in the short range, and he can carve defenses apart in the intermediate range with his anticipatory high-velocity javelins. In fact, one of Maye’s most exciting traits is his actionable field vision and anticipation. He identifies leverage advantages in coverages instantly, and he can capitalize just as quickly.

PFN scouting report: Harrison is a unicorn of a route savant at 6’4″, who can also dominate against undersized defensive backs in contested situations, as well as use his speed to generate chunk plays on schemed touches. He’s a truly elite three-level threat, if there ever was one.

Right out of the gate in the NFL, Harrison projects as a high-impact, attention-drawing X receiver, who also has the versatility to play the movement Z spot. And he has the combined physical talent and near-flawless intangibles to support an All-Pro ceiling.

PFN scouting report: Nabers is a dynamic three-level weapon with near-unmatched upside. He has the stem IQ, speed, throttle control, stride freedom, and bend to separate on the vertical and horizontal planes. And at the catch point, he’s a smooth contortionist with body control, patience, and reliable hands.

Nabers’ most exciting moments, however, come as a run-after-catch threat. With his gliding explosiveness, agility and twitch, physicality, vision, and contact balance, he’s a weapon with the ball in his hands who can both create and elongate space, as well as navigate through congestion.

PFN scouting report: As one might expect from a former five-star recruit, Arnold is a special mover. In short ranges, he has an incredibly uncommon mix of foot speed, hyperactive twitch, and fluidity. And as a vertical mover, he’s an instant accelerator with the long speed to recover ground. Expanding on the physical foundation, Arnold has the traits to be a lockdown cover man and a devastating support presence.

His discipline in press-man is age-defying, and he has the reaction speed and low center of gravity to erase WRs from existence, as well as the hinge flexibility to pinch insanely tight angles overtop comeback routes. Meanwhile, in support, he’s a fast-flowing attacker with range and physicality.

PFN scouting report: Alt is an extremely explosive and free-flowing athlete with unnatural foot speed and agility. He couples that with absurd flexibility and bend. With his flexibility, Alt is not only able to recover ground and keep his balance with ease, but he’s also able to acquire leverage effortlessly, align himself through reps, and absorb power by distributing his weight properly.

Those physical traits already set an incredible foundation for a prospect who’s proven to be smooth and disciplined with his footwork, combative and precise with his hands, and very instinctive as a stunt protector and run blocker.

PFN scouting report: In the run game, Fuaga maximizes his power component with sharp angle awareness, urgency, smooth hinge flexibility, and a finisher’s mentality.

Meanwhile, as a pass protector, Fuaga has a strong foundation with his balance, leverage acquisition, and ability to stay square. He’s disciplined with his footwork, and there are bright flashes of independent hand usage, combative synergy, and precision on his tape.

PFN scouting report: Odunze’s profile is one of the most complete to hit the circuit in recent years. Listed at 6’3″, 215 pounds, Odunze has all of the necessary athletic components — explosiveness, speed, fluidity, agility — and he compounds that physical foundation with rare catching instincts and budding route running nuance.

Over the course of his breakout 2023 campaign, Odunze displayed incredible upside across the three-level threat framework. Overall, he’s a versatile weapon with usage flexibility and dynamic RAC value, but he also has the operational utility to produce on day one in the NFL.

PFN scouting report: Verse visibly lacks elite bend, and while he has enough ankle flexion, his high-cut frame can prevent him from bending underneath blocks, and rolling his hips through finesse rushers. Thus, he may be more confined as a speed-to-power specialist at the next level.

Nevertheless, Verse has the combined burst, motor, strength, force capacity, and violence in his game to be a high-level two-phase disruptor, and he’s easily worthy of Round 1 capital.

PFN scouting report: At 6’6″, 321 pounds, Fashanu has one of the most complete physical tools and operational utility marriages in the 2024 NFL Draft class. He’s a long, strong, powerful blocker who also brings high-end short-area mobility, rare recovery athleticism, a near-unshakable center of gravity, and the torquing capacity and core strength to finish blocks.

Meanwhile, on the technical side, Fashanu’s uncommon patience and composure help to maximize his footwork and hand usage. He’s fleet-footed and malleable when matching rushers, and he has the combined independent hand usage, energy efficiency, and anchor strength to control rushers from start to finish on pass-protecting reps.

PFN scouting report: Daniels’ Heisman-winning 2023 campaign was a microcosm of his big-play ability. He’s an incredible pure rushing threat with his speed, burst, agility, and bend at his size, and he’s also a deep ball merchant with impressive leverage ID skills and deadly downfield touch.

But within the confines of traditional QB expectations, Daniels brings plenty to like as well. He’s an instinctive pocket navigator with an active base and sharp pressure senses, an able processor who can progress through reads, and a quality decision-maker who doesn’t often put the ball in harm’s way.

PFN scouting report: A tremendous physical foundation is what buoys McCarthy’s profile in the first-round range. Though he sports a leaner build, he’s a high-level athlete and a high-level creator with an extremely loose and elastic arm.

His combined evasive ability, flexibility, and off-platform torque expand the possibilities with him on the field, and as a thrower, he has the ease of velocity and angle freedom to make all the throws.

Far more than once, McCarthy reassured onlookers with his development in 2023, showing improved pocket poise, mechanical rhythm, decision-making, and active anticipation and field manipulation.

PFN scouting report: Mitchell has the physical foundation of a high-level playmaker, and he has the instincts of one, too. Particularly in off-man and zone, he’s adept at recognizing routes and breaking early on passes, and at the catch point, he’s coordinated, authoritative, and exhaustive with his length.

Not only does Mitchell have the speed and playmaking instincts to generate turnovers and incompletions at a high clip, but he’s also a fairly nuanced cover man in space, who’s shown he can vary his footwork, transition from his pedal, and recover positioning.

PFN scouting report: Latham moves people on the ground — plain and simple. And while that’s where most of his highlight reps rest, he’s also a very good pass protector. Balance against counters can be an issue at times, but overall, he’s a smooth, patient, and disciplined blocker with suffocating grip strength once he anchors.

As if all this isn’t enough, Latham’s tone-setting mentality seals the deal. He’s a high-energy competitor who exudes physicality off the snap and will finish defenders into the turf if they give up leverage or lose balance — rag-dolling opponents into submission with his elite power.

PFN scouting report: Beyond his sheer speed and explosiveness — both of which are hyper-elite positional traits — Bowers also has superb cutting ability, foot speed, and flexibility — tools he weaponizes as a route runner and release artist, as well as a RAC dynamo off motions and screens.

Bowers can still work on refining his plant-and-drive technique on certain routes, and his versatility stops at being a consistent in-line blocker without high-end size and strength. But overall, there’s little stopping him from being an instant Day 1 asset for an offense and a potential game-changing force.

PFN scouting report: Fautanu has all of the necessary athletic components, and he’s also incredibly flexible and nimble in recovery. Beyond those tools, he’s one of the best pass protectors in the class — possessing balance, leverage, adaptable footwork, active and violent hands, and sharp processing speed.

Where Fautanu falls short isn’t with glaring flaws, but rather, with non-elite traits — and even then, he’s passable in all areas. He might not be quite as explosive, as powerful, or as strong as some of the elite physical prospects at the top of the OT class, and he’s also an older prospect — set to turn 24 next October.

PFN scouting report: With his hyperactive lateral twitch and fluidity, Turner can widen tackles before exploding into the torso with ruthless long-arms and bull-rushes. To that end, he’s shown he can scare tackles into flashing their hands with feigned power rushes and then capitalize with swipes and rips. And in pursuit, he’s an albatross with his closing speed and motor.

Turner may need a slight acclimation period as he continues to refine his execution and build up his lower body. But in the hands of a creative defensive coordinator, he can be an indiscriminate force of destruction amongst the front seven and a true schematic catalyst.

PFN scouting report: Latu is perhaps the most exciting pass rusher to watch in the 2024 NFL Draft EDGE class. Not only is he explosive, twitched-up, and insanely flexible for his size, but he also has deadly hand-fighting chops. He has a barrage of moves at his disposal, and he stacks combos and counters with elite quickness and reaction speed.

Latu is unique in that he doesn’t have one go-to move he sticks to. Latu has the ability to vary his attack in real time based on the leverage he encounters, and he can adapt just as quickly with his free-flowing athleticism and ruthless hand precision.

PFN scouting report: As one might expect, Mims is still relatively raw, but there are a few soft skills at tackle that he already performs well. For his size, he’s already fairly natural at acquiring and maintaining leverage, getting depth on his kick and properly aligning his base.

Going further, Mims flashes some exciting intangibles at the OT position. While he’s over-reliant on two-hand extensions, he has a good sense of timing and synergy on those extensions. Mims also flashes exceptional processing speed and vision against stunts. He can stay in phase while matching laterally.

PFN scouting report: Thomas can sustain acceleration through angled cuts and explode into open zones, and he has the zone awareness to find space for his QB. And on slot fades, he can use his quickness and burst in conjunction to stack DBs like clockwork.

If that’s not enough, Thomas also has functional RAC utility with his speed, bend, and craftiness as a mover, and he can be schemed touches on drag and mesh routes, as well as WR screens and sweep motions.

PFN scouting report: Murphy has elite explosiveness, twitch, and energy as a rusher despite being 6’1″ and 308 pounds. He can win pass-rushing reps with his athleticism, heavy hands, and motor, but he also has incredible strength for being primarily a 3-tech.

In run defense, Murphy repeatedly prevents displacement against solo blocks and pullers with his sturdy base, leverage, and anchor. He also has the strength to absorb double-teams and combo blocks, and he can pry through extensions to make tackles in pursuit.

PFN scouting report: At around 6’2″, 304 pounds, with middling length, Newton won’t fit the size threshold for certain roles. He can shade over 0-tech and 1-tech when he has more space to work from NASCAR packages, but overall, he’s best at 3-tech and outside.

Naturally, Newton’s lack of mass can be a problem against double-teams, and he can be displaced by combo blocks. Still, Newton is a surgical disruptor in both run defense and pass defense, whose hyper-elite flexibility serves as a defining and dominating trait. With his combined burst, flexibility, hand strength, and angle awareness, he’s an unnaturally permeable force against run blocks.

PFN scouting report: Wiggins is a young and promising CB who has all of the tools to be a productive and multidisciplined cover man at the next level. At around 6’2″, 182 pounds, he’s a lean athlete with an enthralling mix of quickness, elite closing speed, fluidity, and ball skills.

Beyond that physical combination, Wiggins also has some of the best coverage instincts, eyes, reaction speed, and route recognition in the class. He can blanket WRs in off-man and click-and-close without giving up room. And on reps from space, he can transition from his pedal in zone and hawk in front of ill-fated passes.

PFN scouting report: Robinson’s elite explosive athleticism and play speed can send tackles careening off the snap, and his high-end ankle flexion only makes his speed more potent. Robinson’s burst and bend are overwhelming qualities, and he can capitalize on those traits with active hands.

There’s still room for Robinson to further fill out his pass-rush arsenal and be more consistent with his power, but he’s ultimately a maniacal hot-motor attacker with the bedrock athletic traits to be an instant disruptor, and he can do so from all alignments. The flashes of combo work and combative hand usage invite excitement for his projection.

PFN scouting report: The Oregon Duck has athleticism, strength, and power in high quantities. Powers-Johnson melds it all together with great natural leverage, angle awareness, anticipatory positioning, and nail-eating physicality through reps.

Like most young players, Powers-Johnson still has room to improve — particularly with his leverage management working across-face and his timing in recovery on pass-protection reps. But overall, he has the tools to be a high-level starter at center with built-in scheme versatility.

PFN scouting report: Seeing how injuries can ravage offensive lines from year to year, Barton’s ability to play any spot in a pinch will be very valuable in the NFL. But, as an interior lineman, his elite athleticism and overwhelming power and physicality, combined with his execution and football IQ, grant him an extremely high ceiling.

Barton should have a floor as a quality starter with scheme diversity right out of the gate, and if he can improve his play strength, he can become an impact starter at either guard or center, with pinch-hitter tackle capabilities.

PFN scouting report: Has a utopian combination of natural leverage, mass, and proportional length; Extremely explosive, energized mover off the snap, who gains ground with ease; Can generate elite knockback power at contact, expertly channeling force from his hips.

PFN scouting report: Mitchell isn’t as variable as most receiver prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, nor is he as much of a threat after the catch. But he has an elite athletic profile, and as an X-receiver, does two things at a very high level. Mitchell separates, and he catches the football.

At just 21 years old, Mitchell is already a surgical route runner with size-defying flexibility, bend, footwork efficiency, and hinge fluidity. And he packs in his explosiveness, forward-pressing speed, agility, and twitch, physicality, and nuance to further confound defenders in 1-on-1 situations.

PFN scouting report: In press-man and off-man, McKinstry has the urgent motion to effortlessly match receivers, and he channels that motion through keen spatial efficiency and awareness. He has a natural feel for matching technique and uses his technical discipline and precise, venomous targeted physicality to funnel WRs into corners.

McKinstry is ice cold — always calm and never in panic mode — an apt quality to have given his nickname. And that trend carries over in zone coverage as well. McKinstry is an adept processor who can smoothly adjust and maintain his hip leverage while managing space and tracing routes.

PFN scouting report: While Guyton is raw in some areas, his pass sets are surprisingly clean for his experience level. He has great knee bend, elbow load, and balance when matching rushers vertically, and his elite athleticism allows him to recover ground and erase rushing lanes wherever they appear.

Additionally, with his length, Guyton has near-elite raw power capacity, which he can use to slab defenders in the run game and shock them in pass protection with fast, heavy punches. There’s already some independent hand usage on tape, and while his timing and precision can improve, he’s visibly trending up.

PFN scouting report: Morgan has the physical skills and the necessary fail-safes — such as balance, strength, leverage, and awareness — to be a competent starter early in his career, and he can keep building on that foundation toward an impact starter ceiling.

However, because Morgan’s middling length is paired with inconsistent hand precision, a move inside to guard could mitigate that weakness and also allow Morgan to more routinely channel his burst, range, natural leverage, point-of-contact power, rotational freedom, and finishing physicality.

PFN scouting report: More simply put, if Penix’s medicals are not an issue, there is little stopping him from being a Round 1 pick, and with more development, he could go on to be a successful NFL starter.

On the field, there is much to like about Penix’s game. He’s a fearless gunslinger with elite drive velocity and arm talent, which he uses to consistently fit passes into tight windows — windows he’s able to pick out with his patience, field vision, and processing ability.
