As the 2024 NFL Draft concludes, attention now turns to the upcoming season. Our initial rankings will focus on the new rookie class, with updates to come throughout the NFL offseason. Before delving into the rankings, let’s highlight some key players.
Marvin Harrison Jr. – Top Dog
Marvin Harrison Jr. emerges as the top weapon in this rookie class, set to showcase his skills in Arizona. Rarely does a rookie wide receiver step into a team as the clear #1 option, but that’s the situation for Harrison Jr. The Cardinals, lacking depth and star power in the receiver room, will heavily target him. With Kyler Murray at QB, this duo could put up significant numbers.
Jonathon Brooks – Lead Back
Carolina finds their workhorse running back in Jonathon Brooks, who showcased his skills at Texas. The Panthers were desperate for an upgrade at the RB position, and Brooks fits the bill. Expected to get starter reps and significant usage, Brooks will be a key piece in bolstering the offense alongside quarterback Bryce Young.
Ben Sinnott – The Next Great TE
Ben Sinnott, a tight end with impressive skills, was a steal for the Commanders in the 2nd round. With abilities in both blocking and receiving, Sinnott has the potential to excel. Learning under Zach Ertz in Washington will only enhance Sinnott’s development. Keep an eye on him potentially taking over next season in Kliff Kingsbury’s tight end-friendly offense.
