2020 Resolution JC-2A picks[edit]

Since the 2021 draft, the league, under 2020 Resolution JC-2A passed in November 2020, rewards teams for developing minority candidates for head coach and/or general manager positions.[4] The resolution rewards teams whose minority candidates are hired away for one of those positions by awarding draft picks. These draft picks are at the end of the third round, after standard compensatory picks; if multiple teams qualify, they are awarded by draft order in the first round. These picks are in addition to, and have no impact on, the standard 32 compensatory picks.[5]

Is Drake Maye draft eligible?

Now, Drake Maye has emerged as the best athlete in his family and arguably the best quarterback prospect in college football even though he's not even eligible to be drafted until 2024.

Is Caleb Williams draft eligible?

First, the quarterbacks. Both evaluators strongly favor Williams when it comes to playing at the next level, although the USC standout won't be eligible for the draft until spring 2024, so the scouts haven't studied him closely. In their opinion, there's a real chance Williams could be the No. 1 overall pick.
