The Xs and Os with Greg Cosell: The best offensive scheme fits in the 2024 NFL draft
There are at least two stages of evaluation when dealing with draft prospects. There’s the work you do watching tape of a player in a vacuum pre-draft, when you’re looking at a player’s attributes and liabilities overall. Then, when the player is drafted, you’re trying to figure out why the team selected the player, and how that player best fits in his new home from a schematic and performance perspective.
With the 2024 NFL draft in the rearview, it’s time for Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group, to determine the best scheme fits from this class.
Greg and Doug begin on the offensive side of the ball, with these players:
Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos
Troy Franklin, WR, Denver Broncos
Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers
