2024 NFL Draft Thread

[icup]

Know anything about Christian Duffie (OL from Kansas)?

I grew up with his dad and I hear his son just declared for the draft. His dad and brother were huge but were gentle giants and some of the coolest, kindest people I've ever met, hope his son has a long career in the NFL

not much info on him... his teammate cooper beebe is considered a top 5 guard in the draft... another teammate KT leveston also has some draft into on him, but not very highly rated from what i'v eseen

i found this scouting report from august 2023 on christian duffie:

Player Summary:​

This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.

His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror.

Scheme Fit:​

Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense

Power Statement:​

Christian has all the tools to make the next level, functional strength, quick feet, ability to anchor, generate a hole, and execute a seal. He is a promising prospect, and with good coaching he can excel at the next level.

2024 NFL Draft top 250 prospect rankings: Marvin Harrison Jr., Caleb Williams atop an offense-heavy list

The 2024 NFL Draft is just over three months away

2024 NFL Draft top 250 prospect rankings: Marvin Harrison Jr., Caleb Williams atop an offense-heavy list​

https://www.cbssports.com/writers/josh-edwards/
The 2024 NFL Draft is a little more than three months away. The deadline for underclassmen to declare has passed, which means teams know the pool of prospects that are eligible to be selected.

CBSSports.com's Ryan Wilson, Chris Trapasso and myself compiled our aggregate rankings to unveil an updated look at the top 250 prospects.

There is an interesting shift occurring in the process, however. College football's institution of Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) earnings for players allows them to make a living before making the leap to professional status. In most cases, NIL can not compete with the lucrative deals that top 100 overall selections receive, but the biggest impact is being felt on Day 3 prospects and undrafted free agents. A larger volume of players are staying in college, which has thinned out the talent pool.

The NFL released a list of 54 prospects with remaining eligibility who have declared for the 2024 NFL Draft -- a small figure relative to expectations from prior years. For example, CBSSports.com's No. 250 overall prospect right now has the same grade as the No. 390 overall prospect last year. There are several players who still need to be graded and the process will ultimately even out a bit, but that is a stark difference.

Without further ado, the updated top 250 prospect rankings:

1. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
