Cooper Beebe and Byron Murphy headline several 2024 NFL draft prospects no longer competing at the Senior Bowl despite accepting invitations
There will be a little less star power on display at the 2024 Senior Bowl. A few of the more prominent prospects who were listed on the initial roster release are not on the latest update.
Two of the most notable are perhaps the most likely players originally slated to appear to be selected in the first round. Kansas State offensive lineman Cooper Beebe and Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy will not participate. Others who are no longer set up to practice or play in Saturday’s Senior Bowl game include Washington OL Troy Fautanu, Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil and Georgia center Sedrick Van Pran.
It’s customary for a few prospects to decide not to participate, and there are various reasons why — from medical issues to advice from agents. None of the reasons are known yet with this group, but they are no longer listed on the rosters distributed here in Mobile.
With practices beginning on Tuesday, there are unlikely to be any further changes
Defensive tackle Byron Murphy is expected to be the first Longhorn taken off the board in the 2024 NFL draft.

Here’s how the full seven-round mock played out.
Mel Kiper released his first mock draft of the 2024 season yesterday. At No. 16 overall he had the Seahawks selecting Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. We have no beef with the prospect, but didn’t like the pick. We always say if you don’t like our mock, make your own – so that’s the spirit were bringing into today. We feel that if this team is going to take a quarterback early, they should either trade up for one of the elite QB prospects or trade back down to the top of the second to poach one of the fruits that fall out of the first.
That’s exactly what we did in our latest seven-round mock draft, trading down from the No. 16 spot and getting a bonanza of picks in return to build up the roster. Here’s how the full seven-round mock played out.
We’re looking at the 2024 NFL mock draft roundups and the Baltimore Ravens are projected to land a cornerback and offensive tackle
The Baltimore Ravens are 14-4 and one game away from a Super Bowl appearance after a 34-10 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
Even with Lamar Jackson and company roaring through the playoff field, it’s never too early for a look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft.
Baltimore currently has about $13,658,828 in salary cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $120+ million plus on the offensive side of the football.
The Ravens also have 30 players scheduled to hit free agency, and some tough decisions will be made regarding who returns to Baltimore.

Will Byron Murphy be the first defensive tackle drafted?
Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy could see his name called early in this year’s NFL draft. In fact, it could be called in the first round according to one analyst.
NFL draft expert Dane Brugler has the Texas defensive lineman as a first-round player. He said the following of that belief.
“Byron Murphy went No. 16 overall in my mock, and I think he’ll be somewhere in that mid-1st range.
No DT was more consistently disruptive on film this season vs. both the pass and run than Murphy. Love his quickness and handwork.”
It is difficult to measure the impact a defensive tackle can have for a defense, but disruptive is the most complimentary descriptor that position can receive.
The Texas defense benefited from Murphy’s disruption as teams were forced away from the defensive interior. The strong defensive lineman looks to bring similar disruption at the next level.
