Finally! It’s here. I am excited to share this year’s draft guide with everyone. I can’t remember who first referred to it as “The Beast,” but I use that moniker as motivation to make sure this annual primer lives up to the nickname — and I don’t think I let you down this year.
Every NFL prospect is an enigma. And it’s the scout’s job to find the puzzle pieces to create as clear a picture of each player as possible. Those puzzles include everything from the player’s physical attributes to his mental makeup to the details of his upbringing — and everything in between.
That’s how I’m attacking this draft guide. Over the past 18 months, I’ve collected as many pieces of the puzzle as I could dig up, through countless hours studying tape and talking to prospects, scouts and other sources.
With NFL-verified testing information for more than 1,900 prospects and tons of background information and analysis on hundreds of those players, I hope everyone views “The Beast” as the most comprehensive resource guide there for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Special thanks to Chris Burke and our team of editors, as well as our design team, who helped make this year’s draft guide a reality.
