Report: Jackson Powers-Johnson ‘Unlikely’ To Be Top 25 Pick, Graham Barton Gaining Steam

Though the NFL is in peak “lying” season less than one month ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, an old theme may once again prove true. When it comes to centers, they tend to fall in the draft. That could be the case with Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson, regarded as the top center in this year’s class.

Per ESPN’s Matt Miller in a Friday morning draft article for ESPN Insider, he’s hearing the NFL isn’t as high on Powers-Johnson as the online draft community appears to be. Per Miller, Powers-Johnson is viewed as a late first round pick past where the Pittsburgh Steelers are picking at No.
