2024 NFL Draft predictions for Kool-Aid McKinstry, Nate Wiggins, and Graham Barton. What round will McKinstry, Wiggins, and Barton be drafted in, and which NFL teams will draft them? Read their 2024 NFL Draft outlooks.
Kool-Aid McKinstry NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 26 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Tampa has a solid core in place and was able to bring back QB Baker Mayfield and WR Mike Evans, which is a big boost to their offense, as well as them being able to build off of their 2023 season where they won the NFC South and a playoff game. Kool-Aid was considered the top corner in the summer of 2023, but his play fell off a little bit.
"You look at the defensive ends and the cornerbacks Nick Saban's turned out year after year after year. And Kool-Aid McKinstry's gonna be the next great one."

Nonetheless, he's a physical type of CB who fits in well with what head coach Todd Bowles loves to do: blitz. After the Bucs traded away corner Carlton Davis, they might want to shore up the secondary with their first pick.
Nate Wiggins NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 27 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Arizona Cardinals via Houston Texans
DRAFT ANALYSIS: With the Cardinals sitting on a treasure trove of draft picks, who's to say they won't go full Texans-style and climb the draft ladder for a double whammy of impact players? Arizona's got more holes than a golf course, and snagging a cover corner like Wiggins seems like a no-brainer. He's a feisty player who clocked in at 4.28 at the NFL Combine. The only real knock on Wiggins is his size at 6-foot-1 and just 173 pounds.
We are clocking Nate Wiggins max speed at 22.6 😮💨
Wiggins stands as the epitome of PURE TALENT setting the standard for this year’s CB draft class 🔥 #ReelSpeed

The front office is playing the long game, not rushing the process. Imagine the haul if they exit round one with Wiggins in their secondary and Marvin Harrison Jr. catching everything Kyler Murray slings his way. That’s a win for Arizona as they need to just continue building up their roster with good football players.
Graham Barton NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 23 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Los Angeles Chargers
DRAFT ANALYSIS: It's no secret that Jim Harbaugh and Co. want to establish the run. Barton spent his college days playing left tackle, but most scouts have him pegged as an interior offensive lineman and he played/practiced at center during the Senior Bowl. There aren't many offensive line prospects who can play all five spots up front and Barton gives the Chargers offense some important versatility up front.
