2. Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

One of the prospects who is simply underrated due to lack of time on task is Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims. One of the most talented offensive linemen in this class and a 6-foot-7, 330-pound tackle who moves around with ease, Mims was a five-star prospect coming out of high school who somehow only managed to start eight games for Georgia.

But when you look at his physical traits, the length he has at the tackle position, and the stretches of dominant play we saw at Georgia, you can almost overlook the lack of experience. There is undoubtedly inherent risk taking a player who doesn't have even the typical minimum collegiate experience, but NFL teams will fall in love with Mims and his abilities rather quickly.

3. Junior Colson, LB, Michigan

At 6-foot-3, 247 pounds, Junior Colson has the type of size to be able to take on blocks and do everything asked of him at the off-ball linebacker position. The Green Bay Packers have three selections in the first two rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, and you can't help but wonder if replacing De'Vondre Campbell with a more long-term option could be in the cards.

Colson is expected to test really well at the Combine, and the production at Michigan was already there. He had 256 total tackles in three seasons.
