I have submitted my final project of the 2024 NFL Draft, and you can read a large portion of it below. After evaluating the entire draft class, these are my top 280 prospects this year. Why 280? That's as many prospects as I had time to watch, evaluate, and grade during this draft cycle. For a quick primer on my grading system, it's constructed as follows -- grades in five categories I deem most important to each position, weighed from most important to least important. That combination of grades equates to a prospect's 'raw grade.' But that's the first layer. I then add 'position addition' at each spot -- and this is another subjective part of the process -- based on how valuable I view each position. For convenience, I've labeled each prospect in the top 100 with his respective positional ranking, too. For full transparency, here's how I rank the importance (and supply/demand) of each position on the field in today's NFL:
