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 risers since the end of the college football season.
The goal here was to avoid the same names that have filled mock drafts since the start of the year. Instead, we wanted to point out some of the more unheralded prospects who might become household names if things fall right.
TE ERICK ALL, IOWA
PFF Big board rank: 92
ADP on Jan. 8: 251
ADP on April 22: 96
Change: +155
Although his game could use a bit more nastiness, this is a player with a versatile, contributing skill set who projects as a TE2 at the next level if he can stay healthy.

ED DARIUS ROBINSON, MISSOURI
PFF Big board rank: 61
ADP on Jan. 8: 194
ADP on April 22: 51
Change: +143
Robinson is a powerful defensive lineman who can line up anywhere from 0- to 7-technique. He won't win with speed as much at the next level, but he certainly can with power. His strength profile projects to a rotational role as a floor with starting potential if he can continue to hone in on his pass-rush plans.

WR MALIK WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA
PFF Big board rank: 90
ADP on Jan. 8: 184
ADP on April 22: 91
Change: +93
Washington is a tough assignment in the slot due to how fast he accelerates and his ability to create separation with quick changes of direction. He is a slot-only type of receiver due to his lack of size and strength, but he is tough to cover.

CB MIKE SAINRISTIL, MICHIGAN
PFF Big board rank: 34
ADP on Jan. 8: 105
ADP on April 22: 37
Change: +68
Every NFL team would love to have a player like Sainristil. He brings the skill set and mentality of a starting slot cornerback, with safety and special teams versatility to boot. He should be viewed as one of the top “football players” in this draft, regardless of position.

DI BRADEN FISKE, FLORIDA STATE
PFF Big board rank: 44
ADP on Jan. 8: 88
ADP on April 22: 49
Change: +39
Fiske's measurements are not ideal, but he has an NFL-level football IQ and pass-rush quickness to be a potential impact player as a 4-3 defensive tackle.
