Oregon Ducks well-represented in updated CBS NFL Draft rankings
As we inch closer to the 2024 NFL Draft, CBS has updated its draft rankings to reflect the top 250 draft-eligible prospects.
In total, seven Oregon Ducks made the cut — with several sitting near the top of their respective position rankings.
The following players from Oregon’s 2023 squad cracked CBS’s top-250 prospects list.
| Player | Position Rank | Overall rank |
| Jackson Powers-Johnson | No. 1 IOL | No. 25 |
| Bo Nix | No. 6 QB | No. 42 |
| Troy Franklin | No. 9 WR | No. 51 |
| Bucky Irving | No. 1 RB | No. 71 |
| Brandon Dorlus | No. 13 DL | No. 102 |
| Khyree Jackson | No. 13 CB | No. 108 |
| Evan Williams | No. 12 S | No. 171 |
In his first season as a full-time starter for Oregon, Powers-Johnson was a unanimous All-American and won the Rimington Trophy, which is awarded annually to the nation’s top center. He led all FBS centers in Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade (91.3), run-blocking grade (84.2), and overall grade (83.9). He did not allow a sack in 2023 and allowed just one pressure.
Nix, the fourth Heisman finalist in UO history, finished the 2023 season with 4,508 yards and 45 passing touchdowns — both program records. He broke former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones’ NCAA record for completion percentage after passing at a 77.45% clip.
During his junior season with the Ducks, Franklin earned second-team All-American honors after he hauled in 81 receptions and set UO single-season records for receiving yards (1,383) and touchdowns (14).
Irving earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors in 2023 after rushing for 1,063 yards and 10 touchdowns on 172 carries (6.18 yards per carry). He ranked ninth nationally with 63 missed tackles forced.
