2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Cornerbacks

Nate Wiggins is a top-tier athlete with rare recovery speed, and is capable of thriving in man or zone coverage. Terrion Arnold is scheme-versatile, and produced a SEC-best 17 passes defensed and five interceptions.

2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Safeties
Tyler Nubin is a versatile, rangy defender who uses his size, athleticism and elite processing to disrupt a run game or pass attack. Kamren Kinchens was the first Miami player to reach double-digit career interceptions since Sean Taylor. Calen Bullock was the No. 7 athlete in the 2021 recruiting class. Jaden Hicks is a two-year starter at Washington St. George.

2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Defensive Tackles
The Outland Trophy winner features an immovable base against the run and is capable of collapsing the pocket as a pass rusher. Kris Jenkins (Sr., Michigan, 6-3, 299) His premium athleticism (No. 6 on Feldmans list), NFL bloodlines, and abilities as a run defender give him a very high floor as a pro. Ruke Orhorhoro possesses the power to move the pocket and can shed blockers consistently to get the ball carrier in the NFL.

2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Edge Rushers
Jared Verse, Laiatu Latu, Chop Robinson and Bralen Trice are among the top edge rushers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Trice is the poster-child for why the NFL has a combine, but he measured an inch shorter and 25 pounds lighter. The right NFL defensive coordinator could mold this premium ball of clay into a Pro Bowler.

Vikings NFL draft preview: The offensive line
This is the first in a series of position previews for the 2024 NFL draft, which begins April 25. The Vikings tackles are solid with starters Christian Darrisaw and Brian O'Neill, and backup David Quessenberry. The interior offensive line is thin and a big concern, per usual. Left guard Dalton Risner remains unsigned, right guard Ed Ingram has struggled in his two seasons as a starter, and center Garrett Bradbury continues to be an underperforming former first-rounder and turns 30 in 2025.

2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Interior offensive linemen
