Over the past few years the 2024 NFL Draft class out of Miami appeared to be one that was ripe for top tier picks and possibly a handful of early round selections. Namely, the class was set to feature a pair of top level five star recruits in Defensive Tackle, Leonard Taylor, and Safety, James Williams. Beyond that, the Canes featured players who thrived as their collegiate careers progressed including sophomore All-American Safety Kamren Kinchens, and a pair of transfer interior offensive linemen in the top-graded returning Center, Matt Lee, and former Alabama Guard, Javion Cohen, the latter of which was invited to the NFL Symposium in 2023 which includes only the top undeclared potential future early draft picks.
