2024 NFL Draft Predictions

Alabama safety Kool-Aid McKinstry will be the guy we have our eyes on.

Besides being first team all name, McKinstry is one of the best defensive players in the draft.

The Birmingham, Alabama native received a draft grade of 6.39.

He stands 5’11 and weighs 199 pounds.

Many scouts around the NFL believe the sky is the limit for Kool-Aid and that he will only get better with time.

2024 NFL Draft Pick

Too many teams drafting 15-28 need a player of his skill set.

I have Kool-Aid being drafted 26th by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He may go as high as 15, but he will not fall past 28 tonight.
