Williams is a high-level prospect, and you could make the case he is one of the best quarterback prospects we have seen in recent years.

Murphy is the most dominant DT prospect in the 2024 draft class. He will be an immediate contributor and maybe even an impact player in his rookie season.
Greg Cosell
Edge Defenders
- Adisa Isaac, Penn State
- Austin Booker, Kansas
- Bralen Trice, Washington

- Chop Robinson, Penn State
- Chris Braswell, Alabama
- Dallas Turner, Alabama

Turner’s college tape is tantalizing and frustrating given the physical and athletic traits he clearly possesses.

Mitchell has all the needed traits to develop into a high-level NFL outside corner, and I expect he will come off the board in the first round.

His reaction time and quick trigger allowed Nubin to play fast. His game speed is much faster than his timed speed (4.56).
