Biggest winners from the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine

Biggest winners from the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine from Draft Wire’s Jeff Risdon after a long week in Indianapolis

Four days of on-field workouts in Indianapolis concluded on Sunday with the offensive linemen taking the stage at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

Over 300 prospects participated in the interviews, medical examinations, on-field testing and more during the week. Scores of those players performed very well and augmented their appeal to the NFL decision-makers. But a few separated themselves at the top of the most impressive combine performers.

Here are the biggest winners from the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Full 7-round Ravens 2024 NFL mock draft post- scouting combine

The Baltimore Ravens are retooling and we’ve unveiled are third Ravens Wire 2024 NFL Mock draft of the offseason and after the scouting combine

The Ravens are heading into an uncertain offseason with an MVP quarterback, a shrinking Super Bowl window, and six of the top free agents in the NFL.

Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh will head to Indianapolis for the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine and start the journey of retooling a roster that is in flux and set to see significant changes at offensive tackle, running back, wide receiver, linebacker, and cornerback among others.

With the NFL Combine complete and pre-free agency discussions set to begin, we’re projecting all seven rounds of April’s NFL draft for the Ravens via PFF.

Which prospects did Colts meet with at NFL combine?

A quick list of who the Colts met with at the NFL combine.

The NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium as the Indianapolis Colts continue marching toward the 2024 NFL draft.

While the on-field drills and measurements get most of the public attention, the combine is more important for NFL teams to gather medical information and meet with prospects ahead of the draft.

There are essentially two types of prospect meetings at the combine. The formal interviews garner the most attention. Each team gets a 20-minute interview with up to 45 prospects throughout the week of the combine. They take place in the suites at Lucas Oil Stadium and typically include the majority of high-ranking officials and coaches.

Each team conducts formal prospect meetings in a different manner.

There also are informal interviews. These are less structured. A coach or scout from a team may schedule a quick one-on-one chat with a prospect. There are no time limits on the informal interviews.

The Colts likely met with more prospects than will be listed below, but we can only go off what has been reported. We’ll add any new names to the list if reports come out in the following days.

Here’s a quick rundown of who the team met with during combine week:

Does anybody need a list of 2024 draft prospects the Panthers have spoken with thus far? We got you.

The 2024 scouting combine is now in the books. 40s have been dashed, 20s have been shuttled, benches have been pressed and vertical and broads have been jumped.

Oh, and there were plenty of talks to be had.

Among the annual activities at the combine are the meetings between prospects and potentially interested teams. And as far as the Carolina Panthers are concerned, we may have to pay a bit more attention to who they’re talking to since their first pick doesn’t pop up until the second round.

So, we’ll help you out.

Here are all the known players—whether they were at the combine, Senior Bowl, Shrine Bowl or even the College Gridiron Showcase—the Panthers have spoken with to this point:

2024 Scouting Combine: Which DL, EDGE, and LB helped themselves the most?

2024 Scouting Combine: Which DL, EDGE, and LB helped themselves the most? (via @NFL_DougFarrar):

INDIANAPOLIS — For some draft prospects, the scouting combine on-field drills are mere confirmation for NFL teams looking to add a bit to positive tape study and personal interviews. For others, it’s a bigger deal, as great numbers might have some personnel people going back to that tape to see what they might have missed the first time around.

On Thursday afternoon and evening, we saw the defensive linemen, edge defenders, and off-ball linebackers do their thing on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. While a lot of prospects acquitted themselves well, here are the ones who did the most to stand out, and to potentially see their stocks rise through the next two months before the 2024 NFL draft is in the bag.

Browns meet with standout defensive tackle Braden Fiske at NFL Combine

Cleveland has their eye on the talented defensive tackle

The list of players the Cleveland Browns will meet with at the NFL Scouting Combine is long, and Florida State defensive tackle Braden Fiske has made the list.

NFL Combine workouts are underway with all 32 teams in Indianapolis meeting with and watching prospects as a part of the pre-draft process. The Cleveland Browns need a defensive tackle and though they may re-sign some guys from 2023 they need more long-term options at the position.

According to reports ,the team has met with standout Braden Fiske from Flordia State who crushed his athletic testing on Thursday. Fiske scored a 9.97 (out of 10) on the relative athletic score showing how athletic and explosive he is.

At 6-foot-4 and 292 pounds he ran a ridiculous 4.78 40-yard dash time to go with 33.5 inch vertical and 4.37 second shuttle all of which are elite numbers. He is an older prospect at 24, so the Browns might not pull the trigger on him, but it is hard to argue he isn’t a great prospect.

The testing shows up on the tape to when you watch Fiske you see a relentless player that makes a massive impact as both a pass rusher and a run defender.

Fiske was the best player on the field while he was in the MAC at Western Michigan and when he transferred to Florida State and better competition he continued to play at an elite level, the Browns would have to use their top pick if they want him but he is well worth it.

Here’s how 5 of the Cowboys DT, LB interviewees did at the combine

Here’s a closer look at how several of the DTs and LBs the Cowboys met with performed in their testing at Thursday’s combine. | From @Larimore_Ben

The NFL Scouting Combine workouts are officially underway for 321 college football invitees at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The first wave of prospects, defensive linemen and linebackers, took the field for testing and drills on Thursday giving scouts and front office personnel a good look at who these players are as athletes on an even testing platform.

This however, was not the first opportunity to study these prospects. Teams, including the Dallas Cowboys’ contingent, have been conducting both formal and informal interviews with players of interest since the first wave of players arrived on Monday. Here’s a continuously updated tracker of who the Cowboys are meeting with.

A formal interview, of which teams are limited to 45 across the week-long event, is scheduled and takes place in an official meeting room with personnel staff, while informal interviews can happen at any time, anywhere.

The Cowboys had eight formal interviews prior to Thursday’s workouts. Five of them were defensive tackles, and three were linebackers.

Here’s a closer look at some of Thursday’s best performers the Cowboys have formally met with, and one they probably should after today’s results. Note, two of the three linebackers formally interviewed by the Cowboys did not workout; Michigan LB Junior Colson and Missouri LB Ty’Ron Hopper.

5 takeaways from Day 1 of the NFL Combine

Takeaways from Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

We have officially reached the NFL Scouting Combine with the defensive linemen and linebackers kicking off the weekend’s event at Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday afternoon.

The importance of the combine is more for the medicals and team interviews but the testing does help confirm what you see on tape or it may force you to go back to take a look because a prospect performed better than expected or fell short of expectations.

With Chris Ballard’s love of the trenches and ability to find linebackers via the draft, odds say that some of the prospects that were on the field on Thursday will be back on it in the fall.

Here are the five biggest takeaways from Day 1 of the NFL combine:
