The 2023 NFL Draft just wrapped up from Kansas City, but now all eyes are already on Detroit, where the 2024 NFL Draft will take place next April.

Which players will see their draft stock rise between now and then? That was a question ESPN’s draft and college football experts were asked in a 2024 NFL Draft preview.

Adam Rittenberg looked to the Missouri Tigers and named Ennis Rakestraw Jr. as his sleeper pick:

Rittenberg: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri. After producing just one draft pick (defensive end Isaiah McGuire) this year, Missouri will be a much bigger factor in the 2024 draft. Rakestraw is one of several Tigers defensive backs who could rise up draft boards. Fully recovered from a 2021 ACL injury, Rakestraw had three forced fumbles, 13 pass breakups and an interception last season. He’s always around the ball and has very good speed, testing well in Missouri’s offseason program.

Can Rakestraw put together a strong season and work his way into the Round 1 discussion ahead of next year’s draft? We’ll find out when the Tigers take the field this fall!
