The Top 5 prospects

Caleb Williams X, QB, 6-FOOT-1, 214 POUNDS, USC

Scouting report: Mahomesesque traits with the instincts, mobility and arm talent to breakdown a defense even when it does everything right. The only questions are about playing within structure because the structure so often broke down at USC. Fact: Won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 but couldn’t lift a flawed USC team past a 7-5 regular season in 2023. Gone by: With the first pick of the 2024 draft, the Chicago Bears select ....

Drake Maye X, QB, 6-4, 223, NORTH CAROLINA

Scouting report: Size, arm strength and athleticism are ideal. Can make a variety of throws with accuracy, but can be erratic and reckless at times, trying too hard to be a playmaker. Fact: One brother (Luke) played for a national championship-winning basketball team at North Carolina and another pitched for a national championship baseball team at Florida. Gone by: He has been the presumptive No. 2 for a while. Will it end up that way?

Jayden Daniels QB, 6-3, 210, LSU

Scouting report: Accurate deep-passer and explosive runner with a slender frame. He scrambles to run, not necessarily to create opportunities to pass. Fact: The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner made a huge leap in his fifth college season. Gone by: Top five.

Marvin Harrison Jr. X, WR, 6-3, 209, OHIO STATE

Scouting report: Precise route runner with superb body control. Strong and explosive, though not elusive after the catch and the blocking could use more consistent effort. Fact: The son of a Hall of Fame receiver won the Biletnikoff Award in 2023. Gone by: Odds on favorite to be first non-quarterback drafted.

Joe Alt X, OT, 6-8, 321, NOTRE DAME

Scouting report: Technically sound, huge and strong. Not an exceptional athlete, but the worstcase scenario for Alt seems to be solid NFL starter. Fact: Three-year starter at left tackle. Gone by: Top 10 lock.
