Not one player from the 2024 draft has played a snap of professional football yet. Sure, we have an idea of which players will go on to be stars, who could be role players and who will have trouble sticking in the NFL at all. But the truth is that there will be no shortage of youngsters that pundits will be wrong about, be they surprise stars or unforeseen busts.
Of course, that doesn't stop draftniks and fans alike from grading and passing judgment on picks from the moment they happen. Michael Penix Jr. hadn't even gotten off the phone with the Atlanta Falcons before folks were assailing the eighth overall pick as a horrible decision and terrible allocation of resources.
