• Penn State CB Kalen King: Although King has a lot of athletic potential at outside cornerback, his anticipation, instincts and technique are too inconsistent.
• Miami (Fl.) DI Leonard Taylor III: When Taylor is on, he possesses the power and explosive athletic ability to be an impact player. We don't see that enough, though.

The 2024 NFL Draft is here. We made it.
To prepare for the start of Round 1, we reviewed PFF's Mock Draft Simulator to identify five notable fallers since the end of the college football season. Whether it's because of the emergence of other players at the same position or underwhelming testing numbers, these players have seen their ADPs dip since the start of the year.
CB KALEN KING, PENN STATE
PFF Big board rank: 177
ADP on Jan. 8: 49
ADP on April 22: 277
Change: -128
Although King has a lot of athletic potential at outside cornerback, his anticipation, instincts and technique are too inconsistent. He projects as a mid-round prospect who needs time to develop, but he offers a starting-caliber ceiling.

DI LEONARD TAYLOR III, MIAMI FL
PFF Big board rank: 141
ADP on Jan. 8: 30
ADP on April 22: 141
Change: -111
When Taylor is on, he possesses the power and explosive athletic ability to be an impact player. We don't see that enough, though. He is a young, hot-and-cold interior defensive lineman — and a talent worth drafting in the top 100.

S KAMREN KINCHENS, MIAMI FL
PFF Big board rank: 109
ADP on Jan. 8: 29
ADP on April 22: 107
Change: -78
Kinchens is a solid all-around athlete with a good eye for where quarterbacks are going with the ball. He possesses great ball skills to come down with interceptions when he anticipates throws. A little lighter in size, he is projected as a potential starter at free safety.

DI MEKHI WINGO, LSU
PFF Big board rank: 131
ADP on Jan. 8: 64
ADP on April 22: 129
Change: -65
Wingo's shorter arms and legs limit his efficacy and versatility. He will likely be limited between the 2i and 4i alignments in a 4-3 scheme. However, his quickness and consistent hand placement can lead to some success as a rotational pass-rusher in the NFL.

QB JOE MILTON III, TENNESSEE
PFF Big board rank: 217
ADP on Jan. 8: 176
ADP on April 22: 227
Change: -51
Milton has NFL-level tools but lacks the processing, instincts and accuracy to be considered a potential starter.
