Who are the 2024 prospects that you're going to be watching this college season?

Alright armchair scouts, let's hear who's got y'all excited!

Speaking for myself, I watch the college season with the intention of having a good time but then always go back at the end in order to do the "deep dive" scouting. That means for my list, I'm not exactly listing the prospects that I think are the best. I'm watching who I think is going to be fun to focus on during the games. 😄

QB: Joe Milton III (Tennessee)
RB: Braelon Allen (Wisconsin)
WR: Marvin Harrison Jr (Ohio State)
TE: Brock Bowers (Georgia)
OT: Patrick Paul (Houston)
iOL: Donovan Jackson (Ohio State) 
DL: Leonard Taylor III (Miami)
EDGE: Jared Verse (Florida State)
LB: Smael Mondon Jr (Georgia)
CB: Nate Wiggens (Clemson)
S: Rod Moore (Michigan)

Going to be zeroing in on pass rushers this season since that might be the biggest position of need in the offseason between the lack of depth behind Brian Burns as well as the potential lack of Brian Burns. 😮

Hoping to catch a couple of the guys from the previous list as well as this one today:

  • Jett Johnson (Miss St)
  • Laiatu Latu (UCLA)
  • Tyler Baron (Tennessee)
  • Kaimon Rucker (UNC)
  • Amari Gainer (UNC)
  • Zion Tupuola-Fetui (Washington)
  • Bralen Trice (Washington)
  • Cedric Johnbson (Ole Miss)
  • Dallas Turner (Alabama)
  • JT Tuimoloau (Ohio State)
  • Jack Sawyer (Ohio State)
  • Chop Robinson (Penn State)
  • Jasheen Davis (Wake Forest)
  • JJ Weaver (Kentucky)
  • Darius Robinson (Missouri)

Any of those top 10 CB's to replace Horn. I am not saying get rid of him. He might be a good 2nd or backup but as a first we know he can't stay off the injury list for a full year. Then there is Jackson.

Troy Franklin & Rome Odunze at WR.  

  

Rome Odunze caught my eye last week vs. Boise State. Seeing now after you mentioned him that he balled out vs. Tulsa too. Definitely going to have to track him now as well! 👀

Didn't realize he was already 6'3" 215lbs with 4.33 speed. That's a Frank Reich WR if I've ever seen one!

Looks like there's going to be some decent talent in the 2nd at the very least. Kris Jenkins' son is a DT @ Michigan and currently projected to be an early 2nd, and the aforementioned Rome Odunze is also projected in the 2nd. Jack Sawyer, an Ohio State edge rusher, is also projected there. If not a CB, a position of need looks like it can still be filled.

Granted, a lot can change between now and April. 😮

He would have gone Round 1 last year.  We ironically have a chance at him this season with the increased WR talent in the draft but if he continues to ball out he could go up to WR2.

Jared Verse, Dallas Turner, Laiatu Latu, Chop Robinson, and Braelen Trice are all likely gone before the Panthers' first selection comes up.

But Jasheen Davis, Mohamed Kamara, Solomon Byrd, Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and JJ Weaver all might be available 😄

I haven't quite gotten a good read on the Ohio St pass rushers (Tuimoloau and Sawyer). I don't care for Sawyer much, but Tuimoloau is an interesting OLB option.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
