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.
