Matt Miller, NFL draft analyst
Last week, we saw 257 names called in the 2024 NFL draft, as teams filled out their classes and tackled big needs. Some front offices did better than others — the Eagles and Steelers stood out to me — but how did the individual picks stack up across all seven rounds? I ranked the best 100 selections.
This isn’t just a list of the most talented players — we did that before the draft. Instead, we are incorporating a bit more into the equation than just what each prospect put on tape. As such, 41 picks from Day 3 made the list, but I didn’t have all of the top-10 selections in there. To create our ranking, we factored in value (where a player was drafted vs. where he was ranked pre-draft), scheme fit, how the selection addressed a need, what the prospect brings on the field and whether additional assets were gained or lost in draft-day trades to acquire him.
Which picks crack the top 10? What moves from Rounds 4-7 make the list? And which teams dominated with multiple highly ranked selections? Let’s stack the best 100 picks of the 2024 draft, starting with a pair of them from one team.
Note: When each player was selected is listed by Round-Pick in parentheses.
