2024 NFL free agency Ranking top 100 available players

Nix says critiques of arm strength here and gone

We're off and running in 2024 NFL free agency, so we stacked the best players in the class. After a two-day legal negotiation window, free agency officially opened on Wednesday, March 13, allowing contracts to be finalized. Players like Kirk Cousins have dominated the conversation, but this class runs deep.

We ranked the top 100 players available. We factored in age, positional value, expected future production and scheme versatility, and restricted and exclusive free agents -- for whom the original teams have the right of first refusal -- are not included. Let's jump in and look at the best available players from 1 to 100.

Check out our best remaining free agents list (ESPN+)

Jump to the top-ranked: QB | RB | WR | TE | OT | IOL EDGE | DT | LB | CB | S

1. Kirk Cousins, QB

Signing with: Atlanta Falcons | Age in 2024 season: 36

News: Cousins headed to the Falcons on four-year deal

Before tearing his right Achilles in Week 8, Cousins was completing 69.5% of his throws and had 18 touchdown passes to five interceptions. He's an easy fit for a system with play-action elements in the passing game, and he should be viewed as an immediate upgrade for many offenses this offseason.

2. Christian Wilkins, DT

Signing with: Las Vegas Raiders | Age in 2024 season: 28

News: Raiders adding Wilkins on four-year deal

Wilkins has the position versatility to produce in multiple NFL fronts; he can align as a 3-technique, play nose tackle or even slide to the edge. He's an explosive mover off the ball with the lateral juice to impact both the run and pass defense. Wilkins recorded 9 sacks, 35 pressures and 63 tackles last season.

3. Danielle Hunter, EDGE

Signing with: Houston Texans | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Hunter heading to Houston on two-year deal

Hunter's 16.5 sacks ranked fifth in the NFL last season, and he also had 54 pressures, 23 tackles for loss and 4 forced fumbles. With his long frame and great short-area speed, Hunter has the upper-level pass-rushing traits that NFL teams want on the edge.

4. Arik Armstead, DT

Signing with: Jacksonville Jaguars | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Armstead, Jaguars agree on three-year deal

Armstead -- who was released and is now a free agent -- had five sacks, 20 pressures and 27 tackles in 12 games last season. At 6-foot-7 and 290 pounds, he is an interior matchup threat in pass-rush situations with the movement skills to be deployed on stunts. And he has the physical presence to make run-game stops.

5. Robert Hunt, G

Signing with: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 28

News: Hunt lands in Carolina on a $100 million deal

At 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds, Hunt has the movement ability to mirror and win in pass pro, where he registered an 89.6% pass block win rate last season. He's a fit for multiple run schemes, too; he can reach and climb as a zone blocker or displace defenders on gap concepts.

6. Leonard Williams, DT

Re-signing with: Seattle Seahawks | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Williams returning to Seattle on new deal

Williams, who was acquired in-season from the Giants, had 5.5 sacks, 33 pressures and 62 tackles last season. He's a versatile player along the defensive front, with straight-line power at 6-foot-5, 305 pounds. Williams can create interior pressure and hold the point to clean up against the run game.

7. Bryce Huff, EDGE

Signing with: Philadelphia Eagles | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Eagles set to give big money to Huff

After recording a total of 7.5 sacks over his first three pro seasons, Huff produced 10 in 2023 for the Jets -- and his pass rush win rate of 21.8% ranked eighth in the league. He's a flamethrower off the edge, with an electric first step and the lower-body flex to turn the corner at a high rate of speed. He has major upside in nickel passing situations.

8. Kendall Fuller, CB

Signing with: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Fuller to sign with Dolphins on two-year deal

A veteran with savvy coverage technique and transition speed out of his pedal, Fuller grabbed two interceptions last season, giving him a total of 16 in his career. He'd be a smart fit for a quarters-based system. And Fuller can set an edge against the run, too, with 79 tackles in 2023. I see a player who can boost the profile of a contender's secondary.

9. Tyron Smith, OT

Signing with: New York Jets | Age in 2024 season: 33

News: Jets land Smith one one-year deal

Availability has been a concern for Smith; he has missed 33 games over his past four seasons. When healthy, however, the veteran is a detailed technician with the physical demeanor to win on the edge. In 13 games last season, Smith had an 89.1% pass block win rate and a 78.8% run block win rate.

10. Jonathan Greenard, EDGE

Signing with: Minnesota Vikings | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Greenard gets big deal from Vikings

Greenard's career-high 12.5 sacks tied for 10th in the league, and his 22% pass rush win rate ranked sixth. With his explosive lower body and hip flexibility, Greenard can launch off the ball. And he has developed his hand usage to create more countermoves. Greenard is also an instinctual player against the run, logging 52 tackles in 2023.

11. Jonah Jackson, G

Signing with: Los Angeles Rams | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Jackson headed to the Rams

Jackson is an interior mauler who can keep the pocket firm in pass pro, evidenced by a 93.2% pass block win rate last season. He also plays with a physical edge in the run game, with the ability to latch onto defenders and move them off the ball.

12. Calvin Ridley, WR

Signing with: Tennessee Titans | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Ridley headed to Titans on four-year deal

As a sudden mover in the route tree, Ridley can create second-level separation and test defenses vertically; he had 17 receptions of 20 or more yards last season. He gets out of his breaks with speed. Overall, Ridley caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

13. Mike Onwenu, OT

Re-signing with: New England Patriots | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Onwenu returning to New England

At 6-foot-3 and 350 pounds, Onwenu has the ability to play guard or tackle. But I see him as a better fit inside at guard, where he can use his size and power to move defenders in gap schemes and anchor in pass protection. Onwenu posted an 88.7% pass block win rate at guard last season.

14. Chase Young, EDGE

Signing with: New Orleans Saints | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Young gets contract with the Saints

The start to Young's pro career has been disrupted by injuries, but he played in 15 games last season. He was traded from Washington to San Francisco at midseason, and he compiled a combined 7.5 sacks in 2023, including 2.5 in seven games with the 49ers. Young is just entering his prime years, and he has the physical tools to produce double-digit sacks.

15. Saquon Barkley, RB

Signing with: Philadelphia Eagles | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Barkley joining the Eagles' backfield

Barkley has the traits to produce in any pro system, thanks to his ability to hit home runs. He's a true lead back who has amassed 288 receptions and 47 total touchdowns over his six pro seasons, and he tied for ninth last season in runs for 10-plus yards (26). But while he is averaging 98.8 scrimmage yards per game over his career, he has played only two full seasons since being drafted No. 2 in 2018.

16. Marquise Brown, WR

Signing with: Kansas City Chiefs | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Brown will join Mahomes in Kansas City

Brown has the vertical speed to threaten defenses down the field, with separation quicks and easy acceleration after the catch. Given his slight frame (5-foot-9, 180 pounds), Brown isn't a contested-catch target. But he can create explosive plays and has 28 touchdown receptions on his career résumé. Ten of them came on throws of at least 20 air yards.

17. Chidobe Awuzie, CB

Signing with: Tennessee Titans | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Awuzie headed to Tennessee on three-year pact

Awuzie returned from a 2022 ACL injury to post 1 interception, 3 pass breakups and 57 total tackles last season. At 6-foot and 200 pounds, he not only has the man coverage skills to challenge on the perimeter but also the fluid movement traits and closing speed to play off the ball in zone schemes. Awuzie could upgrade a secondary for a contending team.

18. Jonah Williams, OT

Signing with: Arizona Cardinals | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Williams has two-year deal with Cardinals

Williams, who had an 85.4% pass block win rate last season (53rd out of 69 qualified tackles), doesn't have upper-tier power or length at the position. But he wins with technique, gaining depth to create blocking angles and pass-set lines. He can help an offensive front on the right side, and he gets a boost here because he plays a premium position.

19. Kenny Moore II, CB

Re-signing with: Indianapolis Colts | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Moore lands three-year deal in Indy

He's still one of the top slot corners in the league, picking off three passes last season, giving him 17 interceptions for his career. Moore has the profile to play inside, and he's rugged and aggressive versus the run game. But he also has the awareness to play in space and can match in coverage.

20. DJ Reader, DT

Signing with: Detroit Lions | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Reader has new deal to join the Lions

A season-ending quad injury pushes Reader down in our ranks, but we know the 6-foot-3 335-pounder could boost multiple fronts across the league. He wins with leverage, power and pad level at the point of attack, and he can get up on the toes of opposing quarterbacks as an interior pass-rusher (15 pressures in 2023).

21. Trent Brown, OT

Signing with: Cincinnati Bengals | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Brown headed to Cincinnati to shore up Bengals' OL

At 6-foot-8 and 370 pounds, Brown can use his massive frame to absorb power rushers and close the door on the edge despite his limited foot quickness. He has more natural strength than raw power, and he can lean on defenders and move them off the ball. Brown is better in space than you think, too. Still, he is turning 31, and his 2023 pass block win rate of 82.7% ranked 60th among 69 qualifying offensive tackles.

22. Patrick Queen, LB

Signing with: Pittsburgh Steelers | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Queen joining the Steelers

Queen can clean up in the run game, blitz or drop into coverage. In addition to 133 tackles, Queen chipped in 3.5 sacks and 18 pressures last season. He hits those blitzes hard, too, challenging running backs in protection. And with an interception and six pass breakups, Queen can produce in zone coverage.

23. Xavier McKinney, S

Signing with: Green Bay Packers | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: McKinney lands four-year deal in Green Bay

Here's a versatile safety with the ability to roll down to cover a slot receiver, the post range that NFL teams covet and the ball skills to produce takeaways. McKinney had three interceptions last season, and he has nine picks and 14 pass breakups in his four pro seasons.

24. Josh Jacobs, RB

Signing with: Green Bay Packers | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Jacobs to replace Jones in Green Bay

Jacobs is a volume grinder with the pad level and physical style to finish runs. But he also has the lateral quickness to shake defenders. Jacobs averaged 3.5 yards per carry last season and missed the final four games with a quad injury, but let's not forget that he led the league in rushing just two years ago with 1,653 yards. Plus, he can produce as a receiver on swings, screens and unders.

25. Xavien Howard, CB

2023 team: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 31

Howard was released at the start of the league year. He will have interest from multiple teams, too, due to his perimeter coverage traits and on-the-ball production. Howard has 29 interceptions in eight seasons, and he can elevate a contending secondary.

26. Kevin Zeitler, G

Signing with: Detroit Lions | Age in 2024 season: 34

News: Zeitler has one-year deal with the Lions

Zeitler is a physical inside presence with the power to displace defensive tackles and the movement ability to pull on gap schemes. He wins in pass pro, using his strong base to hold off interior rushers. In 2023, Zeitler had a solid pass block win rate of 93.8%, 26th in the NFL among all offensive linemen.

27. Kamren Curl, S

Signing with: Los Angeles Rams | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Curl signing two-year deal with Rams

I'd like to see Curl create more on-the-ball production -- he hasn't had an interception since grabbing three in his 2020 rookie year -- but he's a highly instinctive safety with the ability to align at multiple levels of the field. He fits best in a split-safety scheme where he can run the alley and drive top-down on the football. Curl had 115 tackles and forced a fumble in 2023.

28. Derrick Henry, RB

Signing with: Baltimore Ravens | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Henry joining Ravens' backfield

Henry had only three games with 100 or more rushing yards last season, and his playing speed is starting to decline. But he's still a downhill hammer who scored 12 touchdowns in 2023, and he's a good fit as an early-down/goal-line runner. Henry can play a productive role in both zone and gap schemes.

29. Sean Murphy-Bunting, CB

Signing with: Arizona Cardinals | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Murphy-Bunting headed to Arizona to shore up Cards' secondary

With his long, lean frame and fluid hips, Murphy-Bunting has the coverage traits to play in multiple NFL systems. Over his five pro seasons, he has eight interceptions and 22 pass breakups.

30. Frankie Luvu, LB

Signing with: Washington Commanders | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Commanders bringing in Luvu on defense

Luvu posted career-best numbers this past season in Carolina, totaling 125 tackles, 5.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. He can be schemed off interior blitzes and has enough range to track the ball on the edges.

31. Connor Williams, C

2023 team: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 27

A torn ACL suffered in December drops Williams here, but he was stellar for the Dolphins with a 93.9% pass block win rate before the injury. He counters his lack of power and anchor with the movement skills to play as a positional blocker. Williams is also very good in space, creating positive angles to cut off defenders.

32. Devin White, LB

Signing with: Philadelphia Eagles | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: White agrees to a one-year deal in Philly

White has great second-level range and is a productive blitzer who can get home to the quarterback. He has 23 career sacks since being drafted No. 5 overall in 2019. White has the ceiling of an impact linebacker against today's NFL passing games, but his 2023 production and tape wasn't as impressive as previous seasons. After three straight seasons with 120-plus tackles, he managed 83.

33. Jadeveon Clowney, EDGE

Signing with: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Panthers adding Clowney to their pass rush

Clowney's 9.5 sacks tied a career high, and he ranked fifth in pass rush win rate (24.2%). He has straight-line juice when he's schemed in pass-rush matchups, and Clowney can close off stunts and loops. With 43 tackles on the 2023 season, he can still set an edge versus the run, too.

34. Darious Williams, CB

Signing with: Los Angeles Rams | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Williams, Rams finalizing three-year deal

Williams tied a career high with four interceptions last season in Jacksonville, and he added 12 pass breakups. He has really good backfield vision in zone coverage, which allows him to break downhill and create on-the-ball production. But Williams also has the quickness to match in man coverage, meaning the veteran corner can start somewhere on the perimeter.

35. Tony Pollard, RB

Signing with: Tennessee Titans | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Titans adding Pollard on three-year deal

In his first season as the lead back in Dallas, Pollard rushed for 1,005 yards and averaged 77.4 scrimmage yards per game. I expected higher numbers, especially since Pollard produced just three touchdown runs on 17 carries inside the 5-yard line. He fits best in a backfield rotation where his workload can be managed to maximize his dual-threat traits.

36. Josh Uche, EDGE

Re-signing with: New England Patriots | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Uche has deal to return to Patriots

After a breakout 2022 that included 11.5 sacks, Uche had three last season. Watching the tape, however, you can see the sudden burst off the line and the ability to rip and bend against offensive tackles. And with his ability to close on the QB, Uche can be schemed on stunts to loop inside as a sub-rusher.

37. Justin Simmons, S

2023 team: Denver Broncos | Age in 2024 season: 30

Simmons is a high-level communicator in the secondary, with deep range and great ball skills. He has at least three interceptions in six straight seasons, and he is a productive starter who is strong in run support and will land his hits. Simmons should be seen as an upgrade for multiple teams.

38. Lavonte David, LB

Re-signing with: Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Age in 2024 season: 34

News: David back in Tampa Bay for 13th season

David has had more than 100 tackles in six of the past seven seasons, and he has 33.5 career sacks. Sure, his age will factor into his free agent grade, but David is still a reliable and instinctive linebacker who can key and diagnose plays quickly. His 17 tackles for loss in 2023 tied for seventh.

39. Austin Ekeler, RB

Signing with: Washington Commanders | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Ekeler joining the Commanders on two-year deal

Ekeler averaged 76 scrimmage yards per game last season, a drop from 96.3 in 2022. The play speed is down, as is the rushing efficiency (3.5 yards per carry). But with his receiving traits, Ekeler can play a defined role for a contending team in 2024. He caught 51 passes last season and has 440 receptions for his career.

40. Za'Darius Smith, EDGE

Re-signing with: Cleveland Browns | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Browns secure Smith on two-year deal

An ideal fit for a defense that uses schemed fronts, Smith can play on the edge or align inside as a stand-up defensive tackle/nose. He's a power rusher with the short-area burst to close, and he had 5.5 sacks in 2023, giving him a total of 60 for his career.

41. Leonard Floyd, EDGE

Signing with: San Francisco 49ers | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Floyd headed to San Francisco

Floyd had 10.5 sacks in 2023, and he has 39.5 over his past four seasons. I still see solid closing burst on the tape, and Floyd could help a contending team as a 3-4 outside linebacker with the pass-rush traits to win in nickel situations.

42. Lloyd Cushenberry, C

Signing with: Tennessee Titans | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Titans shore up OL with Cushenberry

Cushenberry's pass block win rate of 95.2% ranked sixth among centers this past season. He's a powerful blocker at the point of attack, with the length and anchor to stick pass-rushers in pass protection.

43. Geno Stone, S

Signing with: Cincinnati Bengals | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Stone to join AFC North rival Bengals

Stone's seven interceptions ranked second in the league last season. He's an assignment-sound defender with the field vision and downhill burst to drive on the ball from depth. Stone can fit in multiple defenses as an interchangeable safety who can spin down or rotate to the post.

44. Gardner Minshew, QB

Signing with: Las Vegas Raiders | Age in 2024 season: 28

News: Raiders address QB hole with Minshew

In 13 starts for the Colts last season, Minshew passed for 3,305 yards, 15 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He's a timing and rhythm thrower with the second-reaction ability to extend plays. Minshew grades out as a high-level No. 2 option.

45. Mekhi Becton, OT

2023 team: New York Jets | Age in 2024 season: 25

Becton has an injury history, and his tape was subpar last season. However, the 2020 first-round pick will be just 25 years old at the start of the 2024 season, and he has the talent and an enormous 6-foot-7, 363-pound frame to draw interest in a very light market at the tackle position.

46. Grover Stewart, DT

Re-signing with: Indianapolis Colts | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Colts keep Stewart on three-year deal

Stewart logged only 11 starts this past season due to a six-game PED suspension. He fits as a 1-technique/nose tackle due to his ability to command double-teams and clog up rushing lanes. At 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, Stewart has the physical profile to elevate the interior of a defensive front.

47. Darnell Mooney, WR

Signing with: Atlanta Falcons | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Mooney joining Cousins in Atlanta

Mooney caught 31 of his 61 targets last season in Chicago's run-heavy offense, but he went over 1,000 receiving yards just a few seasons ago in 2021. Mooney has the vertical stretch ability to threaten opposing defenses and the speed to get loose after the catch on in-breaking concepts.

48. Sheldon Rankins, DT

Signing with: Cincinnati Bengals | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Rankins gets two-year deal with Bengals

This defensive tackle has some pass-rush juice, as Rankins had six sacks and 16 pressures last season in Houston. He's quick off the ball with active hands and the lower-body power to disrupt the pocket. He could upgrade both base and sub-package fronts for a team.

49. Gabe Davis, WR

Signing with: Jacksonville Jaguars | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Davis to join Jaguars

He is more than capable of big-game performances, averaging 16.6 yards per catch last season with 12 receptions of 20 or more yards. Davis is a long-strider with good buildup speed, and he can work as a downfield perimeter or a middle-of-the-field target. He can add a vertical element to multiple NFL offenses, with the ability to work the second level on schemed throws.

50. Jermaine Eluemunor, OT

Signing with: New York Giants | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Eluemunor coming to the Giants

Eluemunor started 14 games for the Raiders in 2023, checking in with a pass rush win rate of 87.9% (32nd of 69 qualified tackles). He has the footwork and movement skills to climb in the running game, and he can handle power in pass protection. Eluemunor ranks higher than you might think here due to positional value.

51. Andrew Van Ginkel, EDGE

Signing with: Minnesota Vikings | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Vikings add Van Ginkel to their defense

Van Ginkel can align as a stand-up edge rusher to get after the passer or drop as a curl/flat defender. In 2023, he had 6 sacks, 31 pressures and 69 tackles. Van Ginkel can be overwhelmed at the point of attack in pass-rush situations, but he has enough lower-body flexibility and closing burst -- as well as a secondary rush plan -- to disrupt the pocket.

52. Jacoby Brissett, QB

Signing with: New England Patriots | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Brissett heading to the Pats on one-year deal

Brissett saw limited playing time in 2023 with Washington, completing 18 of 23 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns, but he played in at least 11 games in each of the past four seasons. The veteran is a savvy decision-maker with the ball, has produced in many different NFL systems and has second-reaction traits to create stress on opposing defenses. Look for Brissett to sign as a No. 2 this offseason.

53. AJ Epenesa, EDGE

Re-signing with: Buffalo Bills | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Bills returning Epenesa on defensive line

Just entering the prime years of his career, Epenesa posted 6.5 sacks for Buffalo in 2023 and flashed some playmaking ability with two interceptions -- and he took one back for a score. At 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds, Epenesa can set an edge for you in the running game, use his frame to bat down passes and attack the pocket as a speed-to-power rusher.

54. Blake Cashman, LB

Signing with: Minnesota Vikings | Age in 2024 season: 28

News: Vikings bring in linebacker help with Cashman

Cashman had 104 tackles in DeMeco Ryans' defense, along with two sacks and a pick. His play recognition is quick on the tape, and he can be a productive blitzer. Cashman is also an easy mover in space, as he can drop and change directions as a zone defender.

55. Denico Autry, EDGE

Signing with: Houston Texans | Age in 2024 season: 34

News: Texans add Autry to defense

Autry will be 34 years old at the start of next season, but the tape tells us that the veteran can still create pressure as a versatile pass-rusher. In 2023 with Tennessee, Autry totaled 11.5 sacks and 38 pressures. He displays the play strength to be a 5-technique in base fronts, but he can also rush from both interior and edge alignments in subpackages.

56. Noah Fant, TE

Re-signing with: Seattle Seahawks | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Seahawks returning Fant

Fant had 32 receptions for 414 yards in 2023 with the Seahawks. At 6-foot-4 and 249 pounds, he can press defenses at multiple levels in the passing game, but I also see the ability to work in-line as a blocker. He's a fit for a team that uses 12 and 13 personnel to get multiple tight ends on the field.

57. Jordyn Brooks, LB

Signing with: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Dolphins giving Brooks a three-year deal

A stack linebacker with pursuit speed and blitzing ability, Brooks managed a career-high 4.5 sacks last season in Seattle, as well as 111 tackles and an interception that he returned for a touchdown. In coverage, Brooks can match/carry against inside verticals or play to depth as a hook defender.

58. D'Andre Swift, RB

Signing with: Chicago Bears | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Bears, Swift agree to three-year deal

Swift rushed for 1,049 yards on 229 carries last season in Philadelphia, both career highs. He's a decisive zone-scheme runner with the burst to hit it downhill and the vision to find cutback lanes. In four pro seasons, Swift also has 195 receptions, which increases his value in free agency.

59. Damien Lewis, G

Signing with: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Panthers add to OL with Lewis on four-year deal

Lewis can anchor well in pass protection, but he tends to get top-heavy and stressed on the edges in one-on-one matchups. He's still young and durable, and he registered a solid pass block win rate of 90.8% with Seattle. Plus, Lewis is a powerful interior road-grader in the run game.

60. Julian Blackmon, S

2023 team: Indianapolis Colts | Age in 2024 season: 26

A multilevel defender, Blackmon had a career-high four interceptions and 88 tackles in Indianapolis last season. He has the range and ball skills to play over the top, and he could help a secondary in split-safety and single-high schemes.

61. Jameis Winston, QB

Signing with: Cleveland Browns | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Winston, Browns agree on deal

Yes, Winston's aggressive throwing mentality can lead to poor decision-making and turnover opportunities for the defense. But he also has the arm talent to push the ball deep and the mobility to escape and extend plays. Winston saw action in seven games last season, completing 53.2% of his throws for 264 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He can fill the No. 2 role for a club in free agency.

62. C.J. Gardner-Johnson, S

Signing with: Philadelphia Eagles | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Gardner-Johnson returning to Philadelphia two years later

A torn pectoral muscle limited Gardner-Johnson to three regular-season games in 2023, but he returned for the postseason and had 12 tackles and one interception in three playoff games. Gardner-Johnson has multidimensional traits, as he can play in the deep half or match up in coverage over the slot. He had six interceptions two seasons ago in 2022 while with the Eagles.

63. Curtis Samuel, WR

Signing with: Buffalo Bills | Age in 2024 season: 28

News: Samuel headed to Buffalo to help the Bills' WR crew

Samuel caught 62 passes for 613 yards last season in Washington, and 260 of those yards came after the catch. In addition to his catch-and-run ability, Samuel can be schemed on manufactured touches and stretch the middle of the field from slot alignments.

64. Stephon Gilmore, CB

2023 team: Dallas Cowboys | Age in 2024 season: 33

Gilmore, who will turn 34 a few weeks into the 2024 season, played productive football for the Cowboys last season, grabbing two interceptions and breaking up 10 passes. You can still see the physical coverage skills on tape, and Gilmore plays with veteran technique. He's a fit for a contending team looking to add a corner with inside/outside ability.

65. Jerome Baker, LB

Signing with: Seattle Seahawks | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Baker has one-year deal with Seattle

A run-and-hit defender with the ability to pressure and produce in coverage, Baker has five interceptions and 22.5 sacks over six seasons. And at 27 years old, he should draw strong interest after being released by the Dolphins. I see immediate subpackage upside.

66. John Simpson, G

Signing with: New York Jets | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Jets add protection for Rodgers with Simpson

At 6-foot-4 and 330 pounds, Simpson is a long, powerful blocker who can drive people off the ball. There are some movement limitations in his game that show up in space, but after three years with the Raiders, Simpson played his best football in Baltimore last season, registering a career-high pass block win rate of 92.5%.

67. Steven Nelson, CB

2023 team: Houston Texans | Age in 2024 season: 31

Nelson tied his career high with four interceptions last season in Houston and broke up seven passes. He's at his best in a zone-heavy scheme where he can use his backfield vision to get a jump on the ball, and Nelson plays with a veteran savvy in the secondary. He could help a contender.

68. Ryan Tannehill, QB

2023 team: Tennessee Titans | Age in 2024 season: 36

In 10 games played with the Titans last season, Tannehill completed 64.8% of his passes for 1,616 yards, 4 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He fits best in a play-action-heavy offense where he can target the intermediate windows on defined throws or attack the edges off boot concepts. And for whatever team signs him, Tannehill would bring veteran experience to the quarterback room.

69. Dalton Risner, G

2023 team: Minnesota Vikings | Age in 2024 season: 29

Risner's pass block win rate of 95.5% ranked fifth among guards in 2023, and he allowed two sacks on the season. He can anchor in pass protection and displays a strong and rugged play style as a run-blocker. Gap run teams should take a look at his tape.

70. Azeez Al-Shaair, LB

Signing with: Houston Texans | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Texans adding Al-Shaair to defense

Al-Shaair started all 17 games for the Titans last season, racking up 163 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. He can play downhill in the run game, and the pursuit speed is there for him to cut off the ball on the edges. Al-Shaair's lack of on-the-ball-production in coverage (one pass breakup) dropped him on our list, but he can help a team in the middle of the defense.

71. Darnell Savage, S

Signing with: Jacksonville Jaguars | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Jaguars agree to terms with Savage

A calf injury limited Savage to just 10 games last season, and his numbers were down, too. He failed to record an interception and finished with one pass breakup. For teams in need of a versatile safety, though, Savage has the urgent speed to run the alley and the coverage traits and range to find the ball. In five seasons with the Packers, Savage has had nine interceptions and 21 pass breakups.

72. Josey Jewell, LB

Signing with: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Jewell, Panthers have three-year deal

Jewell had 110 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries last season. He's highly instinctive against the run and shows the coverage awareness to patrol the intermediate windows as a zone defender. Jewell can step in and command the middle of the defense when he is paired with a speedy weakside linebacker.

73. Jordan Fuller, S

Signing with: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Fuller agrees to a deal in Carolina

Fuller had three interceptions last season with the Rams, and he has notched seven picks in his four years as a pro. So the ball skills are there, and I see him as an easy fit for a split-safety defense. Fuller can match inside verticals, patrol the deep half and pepper the alleys as a run defender.

74. Odell Beckham Jr., WR

2023 team: Baltimore Ravens | Age in 2024 season: 31

Beckham caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns with the Ravens, including 10 receptions of 20 or more yards. He can create separation both at the line of scrimmage and at the top of his route due to his refined route-running skills.

75. Gerald Everett, TE

Signing with: Chicago Bears | Age in 2024 season: 30

News: Everett, Bears reach agreement on deal

Everett can be schemed on screens and unders, using his ball-carrier vision in space to pick up extra yards. He's also effective uncovering as a middle-of-the-field option. Everett caught 51 passes for 411 yards in Los Angeles last season, with about two-thirds of those receiving yards coming after the catch.

76. Bobby Wagner, LB

Signing with: Washington Commanders | Age in 2024 season: 34

News: Wagner headed to Washington

At this stage of his career, Wagner has coverage limitations. But because his high-level instincts give him a jump on the play, Wagner will still rack up tackles; he totaled a career-high 183 in Seattle last season.

77. Adoree' Jackson, CB

2023 team: New York Giants | Age in 2024 season: 28

Jackson had five pass breakups last season, and he returned his lone interception for a touchdown. He's an aggressive cover corner with greedy eyes, and he can play either on the perimeter or in the slot.

78. Teair Tart, DT

2023 team: Houston Texans | Age in 2024 season: 27

In 13 games with both the Titans and Texans last season, Tart combined for 24 tackles and one sack. He lacks explosive movement traits but has the upper-body power to rock back interior linemen and disengage to track the ball. Tart fits as a rotational player for a defensive line that needs depth at 3-technique or nose tackle.

79. Tyler Boyd, WR

2023 team: Cincinnati Bengals | Age in 2024 season: 29

A fit for offenses that major in 11 personnel, Boyd can win inside matchups and move the chains. He has been a consistent pro and wins with detail in the route tree. Boyd caught 67 passes for 667 yards in 2023, and he has 31 career touchdowns.

80. Tyrel Dodson, LB

Signing with: Seattle Seahawks | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Dodson set to join the Seahawks

Dodson started 10 games for the Bills last season in relief of the injured Matt Milano, finishing with 70 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 2 pass breakups. The short-area speed pops on the tape, and Dodson plays fast due to his field vision. He's a stack linebacker with coverage upside.

81. Jeremy Chinn, S

Signing with: Washington Commanders | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Commanders bringing in Chinn

With more NFL defenses using "big nickel" personnel (three-safety subpackage), Chinn will draw interest due to his 6-foot-3 size, speed and coverage ability. Yes, I'd like to see more ball production, as Chinn has logged just two interceptions in four pro seasons, but with the ability to match in the slot, he has the traits to be deployed as a scheme-specific player.

82. Tre'Davious White, CB

Signing with: Los Angeles Rams | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: White has one-year deal with Rams

Season-ending knee and Achilles injuries have limited White to just 10 games over the past two years. When healthy, however, he's a disciplined defender who plays with high-level technique in coverage. In seven seasons with the Bills, White had 18 interceptions. He was released Wednesday and now enters free agency.

83. Sam Darnold, QB

Signing with: Minnesota Vikings | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Vikings bringing in Darnold for QB room

Darnold saw limited action as the backup to Brock Purdy, completing 28 of 46 passes for 297 yards. The 2018 No. 3 overall pick has the throwing and movement traits to fit in a defined passing game.

84. Calais Campbell, EDGE

2023 team: Atlanta Falcons | Age in 2024 season: 38

Campbell can still play a productive role on a defensive front. Last season, he had 6.5 sacks and 28 pressures, while using his play strength and 6-foot-8, 282-pound frame to hold the point of attack.

85. Tyler Biadasz, C

Signing with: Washington Commanders | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Commanders bring in Biadasz to help OL

Biadasz's pass block win rate of 92.6% ranked 17th among centers this past season. While he lacks top-end movement skills, he's sturdy and square at the point of attack. Biadasz fits as a mid-to-low-tier starter.

86. Jordan Poyer, S

Signing with: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 33

News: Poyer getting a one-year deal with Miami

Poyer, who will turn 33 next month, totaled 101 tackles, one sack and four pass breakups in 2023. He has 24 interceptions over 12 pro seasons and he's a fit for a split-safety defense looking to add a dependable veteran to the secondary.

87. Shaquil Barrett, EDGE

Signing with: Miami Dolphins | Age in 2024 season: 31

News: Barrett agrees to one-year deal with Miami

After tearing his Achilles in 2022, Barrett's numbers declined in 2023; he finished with 4.5 sacks and 32 pressures. He is potentially looking at a short-term deal to add depth and pass-rush experience somewhere.

88. Jon Runyan, G

Signing with: New York Giants | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Runyan joining the Giants on three-year pact

A versatile interior lineman who wins with angles, positioning and movement traits, Runyan lacks high-end functional power. In 2023, Runyan's pass block win rate of 94.2% ranked ninth among guards.

89. Drew Lock, QB

Signing with: New York Giants | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Lock agrees on one-year deal with Giants

In two games as the starter last season with Seattle, Lock completed 68.8% of his throws for 477 yards, 3 touchdown passes and 2 interceptions. His decision-making can be questioned, but Lock has the physical tools to produce.

90. Willie Gay, LB

Signing with: New Orleans Saints | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Saints, Gay have deal in place

A weakside linebacker with second-level range and change-of-direction quickness, Gay had 58 tackles, 1 sack, 3 forced fumbles and 1 interception last season. He can play a defined role in both base and subpackages, with the added ability to blitz.

91. DaQuan Jones, DT

Re-signing with: Buffalo Bills | Age in 2024 season: 32

News: Jones set to return to Bills on two-year deal

At 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Jones can help solidify the middle of a defensive front as a 1-technique/nose tackle. He had 16 tackles and 2.5 sacks with the Bills last season, showing his ability to take on double-teams and shed blockers. He flashes some interior push as a pass-rusher.

92. Javon Kinlaw, DT

Signing with: New York Jets | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Jets, Kinlaw reach agreement on deal

Injuries have limited Kinlaw to 41 games over four seasons in San Francisco, and he has posted only five sacks during that time. At 6-foot-5 and 319 pounds, the 2020 first-rounder has the traits to be deployed as a 5-technique.

93. Mike Danna, EDGE

2023 team: Kansas City Chiefs | Age in 2024 season: 26

Danna had 6.5 sacks, 24 pressures, 50 tackles and 3 batted passes last season. He doesn't flash high-end traits on the tape, but he can be deployed from various alignments in subpackages, using his straight-line power and effort to clean up in the pocket.

94. Devin Singletary, RB

Signing with: New York Giants | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Singletary replacing Barkley for Giants

Singletary emerged as the lead back in Houston last season, finishing with 898 rushing yards and 193 receiving yards (30 receptions). He's a three-down back with high-end start/stop speed and the toughness to run downhill.

95. Maurice Hurst II, DT

Re-signing with: Cleveland Browns | Age in 2024 season: 29

News: Hurst coming back to Cleveland on one-year deal

A rotational tackle with the initial foot quickness to get off the ball, Hurst had 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 13 games with the Browns last season before suffering a torn pectoral injury that ended his season. The availability concerns are real, but Hurst can help the depth of a defensive front.

96. Jordan Whitehead, S

Signing with: Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Age in 2024 season: 27

News: Whitehead joining Bucs after career-high INTs in '23

Whitehead is a good fit for a system with defined coverages; he is an urgent defender with top-down speed. Last season, he finished with 97 tackles and one interception. Whitehead can align in split-field coverages or drop down into the front.

97. Colby Parkinson, TE

Signing with: Los Angeles Rams | Age in 2024 season: 25

News: Parkinson head to the Rams on three-year deal

Parkinson caught 25 passes for 247 yards in 2023, including five receptions of 20 or more yards. He has a large catch radius and the ruggedness to work in heavy traffic areas. And with his ability to block in the run game, Parkinson can fit as a No. 2 tight end for multiple teams.

98. DJ Chark Jr., WR

2023 team: Carolina Panthers | Age in 2024 season: 27

Chark is a No. 3 receiver with the traits to work vertically on the boundary and find open turf on intermediate in-breakers. In six pro seasons, he has 23 touchdown receptions, and he caught 35 passes for 525 yards and five touchdowns last season.

99. Zack Moss, RB

Signing with: Cincinnati Bengals | Age in 2024 season: 26

News: Bengals cut Mixon and add Moss at RB

He's a fit as an early-down runner who can get on a north-south track. In 14 games with the Colts, Moss averaged 4.3 yards per carry, rushed for 794 yards and scored four touchdowns on the ground in 2023. And he can catch the ball out of the backfield on swings and unders.

100. Michael Thomas, WR

2023 team: New Orleans Saints | Age in 2024 season: 31

Thomas can still uncover and be a productive receiver on multiple levels of the field. But he has played in only 13 games over the past two seasons, and he'll be 31 years old at the start of the 2024 season.
