2025 NFL Draft Grades: Who won the draft?

The 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone, and the grades are in: check out how your team fared below. This year, compared to most, there weren’t many, or any, really, “disaster” type drafts – ones that we instantly know were massive reaches compared to consensus. There are a few teams that had questionable process, but there were significantly less reaches, particularly on day two, than usual.

Arizona Cardinals

Picks:

Round 1, pick 16: Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss
Round 2, pick 47: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
Round 3, pick 78: Jordan Burch, DL, Oregon
Round 4, pick 115: Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State
Round 5, pick 174: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State
Round 6, pick 211: Hayden Conner, IOL, Texas
Round 7, pick 225: Kitan Crawford, S, Nevada

I was a pretty big fan of what the Arizona Cardinals accomplished on day two of the draft, in particular. Johnson and Burch were pretty good values, and the Cardinals’ defense needed to improve in a major way. Walter Nolen is a pretty big risk, but one that could pay off in a big way. I like the talent up front that Arizona has added over the past year—between Josh Sweat, Darius Robinson, Walter Nolen, and Jordan Burch.

Atlanta Falcons

Picks:

Round 1, pick 15: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Round 1, pick 26 (from Rams): James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
Round 3, pick 96: Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
Round 4, pick 118: Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma
Round 7, pick 218: Jack Nelson, OT, Wisconsin

I’m a pretty big fan of Jalon Walker and James Pearce in particular, so I have no issues with what the Falcons did from a value standpoint on day one of the draft. And while I understand that both general manager Terry Fontenot and coach Raheem Morris are in prove-it years, allowing them to give up a first round pick to move up for a player that was reported as having red flags is, well, more than questionable – especially at the value of the trade as a whole. The late-round picks, particularly Watts and Bowman, were solid values, but the Falcons should have moved back from pick 15 to acquire more capital – not give up more picks from future years.

Picks Grade: A
Process Grade: F

Baltimore Ravens

Picks:

Round 1, pick 27: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Round 2, pick 59: Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
Round 3, pick 91: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
Round 4, pick 129: Teddye Buchanan, LB, Cal
Round 5, pick 141: Carson Vinson, OT, Alabama A&M
Round 6, pick 178: Bilhal Kone, CB, Western Michigan
Round 6, pick 186: Tyler Loop, K, Arizona
Round 6, pick 203: LaJohntay Wester, WR, Colorado
Round 6, pick 210: Aeneas Peebles, DL, Virginia Tech
Round 6, pick 212: Robert Longerbeam, CB, Rutgers
Round 7, pick 243: Garrett Dellinger, IOL, LSU

I was a pretty big fan of the Ravens taking Malaki Starks in the latter half of the first round on Thursday. Mike Green and Emery Jones are fine bets on day two, though I question how bad the intel on Green was for him to fall to the 50s – he’s a top-32 player on film at a premium position. Dellinger and Peebles are solid late-day three picks. This is definitely a Baltimore Ravens draft.

Picks Grade: B+
Process Grade: C-

Buffalo Bills

Picks:

Round 1, pick 30: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
Round 2, pick 41: T.J. Sanders, DL, South Carolina
Round 2, pick 72: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Round 4, pick 109: Deone Walker, DL, Kentucky
Round 5, pick 170: Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State
Round 5, pick 173: Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
Round 6, pick 177: Dorian Strong, CB, Virginia Tech
Round 6, pick 206: Chase Lundt, OT, UCONN
Round 7, pick 240: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland

There was a ton of talent added to the Buffalo Bills defense over this past weekend. Hairston may have been a reach, but TJ Sanders, Landon Jackson, and Deone Walker were all players that The Two-Point Conversion staff was high on, in particular, and I think the Bills hit on their goal of improving the talent up front and in the secondary. We’ll see how Hairston does, but he certainly has talent.

Picks Grade: B
Process Grade: A

Carolina Panthers

Picks:

Round 1, pick 8: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Round 2, pick 51: Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Round 3, pick 77: Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
Round 4, pick 114: Trevor Etienne, RB, Georgia
Round 4, pick 122: Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
Round 5, pick 140: Cam Jackson, DL, Florida
Round 5, pick 163: Mitchell Evans, TE, Notre Dame
Round 6, pick 208: Jimmy Horn Jr., WR, Colorado

The Carolina Panthers surprised everyone on Thursday when they selected Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan with their top selection. It was a clear need for the team, which addressed defense throughout the rest of the draft, mostly by adding ready-made pass rusher Princely Umanmielen and the high-pedigree Nic Scourton. Etienne, Jackson, and Evans are solid bets at their respective positions – and I appreciate Dan Morgan’s willingness to trade up for players who were projected to go higher, in Scourton and Umanmielen.

Picks Grade: A
Process Grade: A

Chicago Bears

Picks:

Round 1, pick 10: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Round 2, pick 39: Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Round 2, pick 56: Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
Round 3, pick 62: Shemar Turner, DL, Texas A&M
Round 4, pick 132: Ruben Hyppolite II, LB, Maryland
Round 5, pick 169: Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA
Round 6, pick 195: Luke Newman, OT, Michigan State
Round 7, pick 233: Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers

The Chicago Bears have certainly fortified their offense, with additions such as Colston Loveland and Luther Burden, and seem to have been taking the top player on their board at every selection, despite it possibly not being a clear need. I really like the bet of Trapilo in the second round – though Hyppolite at 132 was quite the reach. Overall, I’m impressed with the early round findings for the Bears, but the back half of the draft leaves a bit to be desired.

Picks Grade: B-
Process Grade: B-

Cincinnati Bengals

Picks:

Round 1, pick 17: Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Round 2, pick 49: Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
Round 3, pick 81: Dylan Fairchild, IOL, Georgia
Round 4, pick 119: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
Round 5, pick 153: Jalen Rivers, IOL, Miami
Round 6, pick 193: Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech

Man, I just really can’t get behind a class like this. I completely understand the bet on Shemar Stewart, who presents one of the highest ceilings in the entire draft class – but I really think the Bengals needed to come away with a more ready-made player on day one – this defense is really rough at the moment. Knight in the top-50 was a pretty considerable reach, and the late round selections don’t make up much ground.

Picks Grade: D
Process Grade: D-

Cleveland Browns

Picks:

Round 1, pick 5 (from Jaguars): Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
Round 2, pick 33: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
Round 2, pick 36: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
Round 3, pick 67: Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
Round 3, pick 94: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon
Round 4, pick 126: Dylan Sampson, RB, Tennessee
Round 5, pick 144: Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

Someone could write a book – or rather, a Kevin Costner movie – about this Browns draft. From trading away the rights to select Travis Hunter, to picking Dillon Gabriel 50 picks before selecting another QB – Shedeur Sanders. This certainly was a draft class. I like Mason Graham, I like Carson Schwesinger, I like Dylan Sampson. But I don’t love any of these picks like I love Travis Hunter. Maybe that’s a bit unfair.

Picks Grade: B+
Process Grade: F

Dallas Cowboys

Picks:

Round 1, pick 12: Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabama
Round 2, pick 44: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
Round 3, pick 76: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
Round 5, pick 149: Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas
Round 5, pick 152: Shemar James, LB, Florida
Round 6, pick 204: Ajani Cornelius, IOL, Oregon
Round 7, pick 217: Jay Toia, DL, UCLA
Round 7, pick 239: Phil Mafah, RB, Clemson
Round 7, pick 247: Tommy Akingbesote, DL, Maryland

The Dallas Cowboys probably were going to be the team to select WR Tetairoa McMillan, had he fallen past Carolina, but rather, Dallas takes Tyler Booker as a plan B. Ezeiruaku and Revel were value picks according to the consensus board, and I particularly like their bet on Texas RB Jaydon Blue in the fifth round. Sound process, some decent values – though Booker in the top-15 is a bit rich for me.

Picks Grade: C+
Process Grade: B+

Denver Broncos

Picks:

Round 1, pick 20: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
Round 2, pick 60: RJ Harvey, RB, UCF
Round 3, pick 74: Pat Bryant, WR, Illinois
Round 3, pick 101: Sai’vion Jones, DL, LSU
Round 4, pick 134: Que Robinson, EDGE, Alabama
Round 6, pick 216: Jeremy Crawshaw, P, Florida
Round 7, pick 241: Caleb Lohner, TE, Utah

There are a few really interesting picks here. While I don’t love the value on any one of their selections, I think the process that Denver had throughout the draft process was really solid. Rather than taking RJ Harvey with the 51st pick, they traded down twice, knowing he’d be there at pick 60. They also didn’t force an RB in the first round, rather taking the highest-rated player on their board in the impactful Jahdae Barron.

Picks Grade: C+
Process Grade: A+

Detroit Lions

Picks:

Round 1, pick 28: Tyleik Williams, DL, Ohio State
Round 2, pick 57: Tate Ratledge, IOL, Georgia
Round 3, pick 70: Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Arkansas
Round 5, pick 171: Miles Frazier, IOL, LSU
Round 6, pick 196: Ahmed Hassanein, EDGE, Boise State
Round 7, pick 230: Dan Jackson, S, Georgia
Round 7, pick 244: Dominic Lovett, WR, Georgia

Look, I’ve doubted Brad Holmes before and been proven wrong – but man, I really don’t like this draft class. And I really don’t love the process either. Tyleik Williams was one of the biggest reaches of the first round, same with Isaac TeSlaa in the early third round – much less giving up three total third-round picks to get TeSlaa.

Picks Grade: F
Process Grade: D

Green Bay Packers

Picks:

Round 1, pick 23: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Round 2, pick 54: Anthony Belton, IOL, NC State
Round 3, pick 87: Savion Williams, WR, TCU
Round 4, pick 124: Barryn Sorrell, EDGE, Texas
Round 5, pick 159: Collin Oliver, LB, Oklahoma State
Round 6, pick 198: Warren Brinson, DL, Georgia
Round 7, pick 237: Micah Robinson, CB, Tulane
Round 7, pick 250: John Williams, OT, Cincinnati

Phew – this one is interesting – but I appreciate the Packers willingness to swing for the fences. Golden is an interesting, high-upside WR prospect that fits well with Jordan Love – but Belton at 54 and Williams at 87 feel quite rich, and no picks on day three stand out as great values to me, personally.

Picks Grade: C+
Process Grade: B

Houston Texans

Picks:

Round 2, pick 34: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
Round 2, pick 48: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Round 3, pick 79: Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
Round 3, pick 97: Jaylin Smith, CB, USC
Round 4, pick 116: Woody Marks, RB, USC
Round 6, pick 187: Jaylen Reed, S, Penn State
Round 6, pick 197: Graham Mertz, QB, Florida
Round 7, pick 224: Kyonte Hamilton, DL, Rutgers
Round 7, pick 255: Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa

Nick Caserio was definitely aggressive moving up and down the board throughout the draft, and I found it particularly interesting that the Texans landed both Iowa State WRs – it makes me wonder about Tank Dell’s future. Higgins, Ersery, and Noel are a great trio of picks, and Woody Marks should give the Texans offense an element they didn’t have – even if they had to pay a premium to get him.

Picks Grade: B+
Process Grade: C-

Indianapolis Colts

Picks:

Round 1, pick 14: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Round 2, pick 45: JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
Round 3, pick 80: Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota
Round 4, pick 127: Jalen Travis, OT, Iowa State
Round 5, pick 151: DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
Round 6, pick 189: Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame
Round 6, pick 190: Tim Smith, DL, Alabama
Round 7, pick 232: Hunter Wohler, S, Wisconsin

While I like the value of Tyler Warren in the early teens, day two was really rough. Tuimoloau doesn’t present any upside over what the Colts already have at edge, and Justin Walley was a pretty considerable reach in round three. Jalen Travis, DJ Giddens, and Riley Leonard were some interesting finds on day three, but the fit of Warren, in addition to the day two picks, drags these grades down.

Picks Grade: C+

Jacksonville Jaguars

Picks:

Round 1, pick 2: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
Round 3, pick 88: Caleb Ransaw, CB, Tulane
Round 3, pick 89: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia
Round 4, pick 104: Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech
Round 4, pick 107: Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame
Round 6, pick 194: Jalen McLeod, LB, Auburn
Round 6, pick 200: Rayuan Lane III, S, Navy
Round 7, pick 221: Jonah Monheim, IOL, USC
Round 7, pick 236: LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse

Any time you have the chance to add a generational type of prospect to your team, do it, especially if you already have your quarterback in place. In addition to Hunter, I like the Milum, Tuten, and Monheim picks. This was a very bold debut for Jaguars general manager James Gladstone, but the league is more fun for his aggression.

Picks Grade: B+
Process Grade: A+

Kansas City Chiefs

Picks:

Round 1, pick 32: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
Round 2, pick 63: Omarr Norman-Lott, DL, Tennessee
Round 3, pick 66: Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
Round 3, pick 85: Nohl Williams, CB, California
Round 4, pick 133: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
Round 5, pick 156: Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon
Round 7, pick 228: Brashard Smith, RB, SMU

If the Chiefs didn’t spend a second-round pick on Omarr Norman-Lott, this draft class would be nearly perfect, in my opinion – but I can’t get behind an interior rotational pass rusher that early in the draft. I love the bets on Gillotte and Williams in particular. Josh Simmons and Jalen Royals also add talent to the offense.

Picks Grade: A
Process Grade: A

Las Vegas Raiders

Picks:

Round 1, pick 6: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Round 2, pick 58: Jack Bech, WR, TCU
Round 3, pick 68: Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
Round 3, pick 98: Caleb Rogers, OT, Texas Tech
Round 3, pick 99: Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary
Round 4, pick 108: Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee
Round 4, pick 135: Tonka Hemingway, DL, South Carolina
Round 6, pick 180: JJ Pegues, DL, Ole Miss
Round 6, pick 213: Tommy Mellott, QB, Montana State
Round 6, pick 215: Cam Miller, QB, North Dakota State
Round 7, pick 222: Cody Lindenberg, LB, Minnesota

This Raiders draft class has it all – a new franchise cornerstone, interesting bets on offensive lineman, and two fun boundary players in Bech and Porter. I’m also a massive fan of what Vegas did on day three – adding high-upside players that bring value on special teams, particularly in the case of Thornton, Pegues, and Mellott. This is one of my favorite draft classes, and was conducted with sound process, as well.

Los Angeles Chargers

Picks:

Round 1, pick 22: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
Round 2, pick 55: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
Round 3, pick 86: Jamaree Caldwell, DL, Oregon
Round 4, pick 125: Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
Round 4, pick 158: KeAndre Lambert-Smith, WR, Auburn
Round 5, pick 165: Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Syracuse
Round 6, pick 199: Branson Taylor, OT, Pittsburgh
Round 6, pick 214: R.J. Mickens, S, Clemson
Round 7, pick 256: Trikweze Bridges, CB, Florida

Omarion Hampton is a clean fit in this Chargers offense, and I love the bets on Harris, Kennard, and Lambert-Smith. I never felt as though Harbaugh and Horitz were reaching at any of these picks – and I wonder if Gadsden can have a role from the outset in this Chargers offense that loves going to tight ends.

Picks Grade: A-

Los Angeles Rams

Round 2, pick 46: Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon
Round 3, pick 90: Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
Round 4, pick 117: Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn
Round 5, pick 148: Ty Hamilton, DL, Ohio State
Round 5, pick 172: Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss
Round 7, pick 242: Konata Mumpfield, WR, Pittsburgh

The Rams traded back and got a future first-round pick from the Atlanta Falcons, and still landed some really solid bets throughout the draft. Terrance Ferguson, despite being a short reach, should cleanly fit the Rams offense – and I think Josaiah Stewart has been thoroughly underrated throughout the draft process.

Picks Grade: B+
Process Grade: A+

Miami Dolphins

Picks:

Round 1, pick 13: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Round 2, pick 37: Jonah Savaiinaea, IOL, Arizona
Round 5, pick 143: Jordan Phillips, DL, Maryland
Round 5, pick 150: Jason Marshall Jr., CB, Florida
Round 5, pick 155: Dante Trader Jr., S, Maryland
Round 6, pick 179: Ollie Gordon II, RB, Oklahoma State
Round 7, pick 231: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas
Round 7, pick 253: Zeek Biggers, DL, Georgia Tech

While I love the value of Kenneth Grant in the top-15 – certainly more than most people would – this draft class gets pretty rough after that point. Trading capital to move up in the draft when the Dolphins have a plethora of holes to fill reeks of desperation, rather than letting the board come to them.

Picks Grade: C+
Process Grade: D-

Minnesota Vikings

Picks:

Round 1, pick 24: Donovan Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
Round 3, pick 102: Tai Felton, WR, Maryland
Round 5, pick 139: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, DL, Georgia
Round 6, pick 201: Kobe King, LB, Penn State
Round 6, pick 202: Gavin Bartholomew, TE, Pittsburgh

I really didn’t love any of the picks that the Vikings made, but I can understand the investments in the offensive line as well as Tai Felton. The Minnesota Vikings were pretty hamstrung by the trades they made in last year’s draft for JJ McCarthy and Dallas Turner, so that factors into the lack of draft capital. Overall, it’s kind of unremarkable.

New England Patriots

Picks:

Round 1, pick 4: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Round 2, pick 38: TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
Round 3, pick 69: Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
Round 3, pick 95: Jared Wilson, IOL, Georgia
Round 4, pick 106: Craig Woodson, S, Cal
Round 5, pick 137: Joshua Farmer, DL, Florida State
Round 5, pick 146: Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
Round 6, pick 182: Andres Borregales, K, Miami
Round 7, pick 220: Marcus Bryant, OT, Missouri
Round 7, pick 251: Julian Ashby, LS, Vanderbilt
Round 7, pick 257: Kobee Minor, CB, Memphis

Oh man, I really love what the Patriots did on the first two days of the NFL Draft. Campbell, Henderson, Williams, and Wilson should provide an instant impact for a team that desperately needs it. Henderson, in particular, might be my favorite pick of the entire draft – he immediately is the most explosive piece of this Patriots offense – and should be a consistent starter as a rookie.

Picks Grade: A+
Process Grade: B+ (drafting a long snapper? really?)

New Orleans Saints

Picks:

Round 1, pick 9: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Round 2, pick 40: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
Round 3, pick 71: Vernon Broughton, DL, Texas
Round 3, pick 93: Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
Round 4, pick 112: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
Round 4, pick 131: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
Round 6, pick 184: Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
Round 7, pick 248: Moliki Matavao, TE, UCLA
Round 7, pick 254: Fadil Diggs, EDGE, Syracuse

While I think top-10 was slightly rich for Kelvin Banks, the Saints willingness to invest in the trenches is appreciated – and I think their reluctance to select a quarterback in the first round this year was a smart decision. Diggs, Neal, and Stutsman were great picks on day three, but the third round leaves a bit to be desired, in my opinion.

Picks Grade: C+
Process Grade: B

New York Giants

Picks:

Round 1, pick 3: Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State
Round 1, pick 25: Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Round 3, pick 65: Darius Alexander, DL, Toledo
Round 4, pick 105: Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
Round 5, pick 154: Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
Round 7, pick 219: Thomas Fidone II, TE, Nebraska
Round 7, pick 246: Korie Black, CB, Oklahoma State

If you take away the fact that the Giants traded assets to move up for Jaxson Dart, this is a really great draft class – I just didn’t love that bet in particular, even if it is a sound process. Alexander, Skattebo, and Mbow were great middle-round selections, as well. Overall, though, this class will be defined by the success of Carter and Dart.

Picks Grade: B

New York Jets

Picks:

Round 1, pick 7: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Round 2, pick 42: Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
Round 3, pick 73: Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
Round 4, pick 110: Arian Smith, WR, Georgia
Round 5, pick 130: Malachi Moore, DB, Alabama
Round 5, pick 162: Francisco Mauigoa, LB, Miami
Round 5, pick 176: Tyler Baron, EDGE, Miami

Membou, Taylor, and Thomas were all great picks, and I love the upside swings on Smith, Moore, and Baron. Overall, this Jets draft class is one of the most impressive in recent memory – I have high praise for this new braintrust. Membou and Fashanu should become one of the best young tackle duos in the league.

Philadelphia Eagles

Picks:

Round 1, pick 31: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Round 2, pick 64: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Round 4, pick 111: Ty Robinson, DL, Nebraska
Round 5, pick 145: Mac McWilliams, CB, UCF
Round 5, pick 161: Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia
Round 5, pick 168: Drew Kendall, IOL, Boston College
Round 6, pick 181: Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse
Round 6, pick 191: Myles Hinton, OT, Michigan
Round 6, pick 207: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
Round 6, pick 209: Antwaun Powell-Ryland, EDGE, Virginia Tech

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to do Philadelphia Eagles things. Campbell and Mukuba were really solid picks in the early rounds, and two players who should be able to contribute to the team early on. Robinson, Mondon, and Powell-Ryland could also play rotational roles on their rookie contracts. Howie Roseman has done a great job of finding value in the draft previously, and he was aggressive in ensuring he found his players this year, as well.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Picks:

Round 1, pick 21: Derrick Harmon, DL, Oregon
Round 3, pick 83: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
Round 4, pick 123: Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State
Round 5, pick 164: Yahya Black, DL, Iowa
Round 6, pick 185: Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
Round 7, pick 226: Carson Bruener, LB, Washington
Round 7, pick 229: Donte Kent, CB, Central Michigan

This is potentially the most Pittsburgh Steelers draft I’ve ever seen – with two really consistent defensive linemen added, as well as a zone beat-em-up runner in Kaleb Johnson. I was pretty shocked when the Steelers didn’t take Shedeur Sanders with their third-round pick, but they must be really confident that Aaron Rodgers is on his way.

San Francisco 49ers

Picks:

Round 1, pick 11: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Round 2, pick 43: Alfred Collins, DL, Texas
Round 3, pick 75: Nick Martin, LB, Oklahoma State
Round 3, pick 100: Upton Stout, CB, Western Kentucky
Round 4, pick 113: CJ West, DL, Indiana
Round 4, pick 138: Jordan Watkins, WR, Ole Miss
Round 5, pick 147: Jordan James, RB, Oregon
Round 5, pick 160: Marques Sigle, S, Kansas State
Round 7, pick 227: Kurtis Rourke, QB, Indiana
Round 7, pick 249: Connor Colby, IOL, Iowa
Round 7, pick 252: Junior Bergen, WR, Montana

Man, I really love Mykel Williams to the 49ers. I think he fits incredibly well, was a good value at pick #11, and has tremendous upside at just 20 years old. But the rest of his draft class is pretty horrendous, outside of CJ West and Jordan James on day three. Day two, in particular, is pretty disastrous between selecting Alfred Collins in the top-45, and two massive reaches on Martin and Stout.

Seattle Seahawks

Picks:

Round 1, pick 18: Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State
Round 2, pick 35: Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
Round 2, pick 50: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
Round 3, pick 92: Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
Round 5, pick 142: Rylie Mills, DL, Notre Dame
Round 5, pick 166: Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
Round 5, pick 175: Robbie Ouzts, TE, Alabama
Round 6, pick 192: Bryce Cabeldue, OT, Kansas
Round 7, pick 223: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami
Round 7, pick 234: Mason Richman, OT, Iowa
Round 7, pick 238: Ricky White III, WR, UNLV

The Seattle Seahawks had a really fun draft class – from the bets they made on day two, to Horton, Martinez, and White on day three – there’s a lot of value to be found here. Frankly, I don’t mind the investment up front in Grey Zabel with the 18th overall pick. It represents a much-needed philosophical change from general manager John Schneider, who has historically not invested in the guard position.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Picks:

Round 1 pick 19: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Round 2: pick 53: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame

Round 4, pick 121: David Walker, EDGE, Central Arkansas
Round 5, pick 157: Elijah Roberts, EDGE, SMU
Round 7, pick 235: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon

I really like what the Buccaneers did on the first two days of the draft. Egbuka is someone who can play right away for Tampa, while the investment in the secondary was much needed between Morrison and Parrish. While there isn’t a single value that sticks out, there’s just a bunch of solid players across the board here.

Tennessee Titans

Picks:

Round 1, pick 1: Cam Ward, QB, Miami
Round 2, pick 52: Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
Round 3, pick 82: Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State
Round 4, pick 103: Chimere Dike, WR, Florida
Round 4, pick 120: Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
Round 5, pick 136: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
Round 5, pick 167: Jackson Slater, IOL, Sacramento State
Round 6, pick 183: Marcus Harris, S, California
Round 6, pick 188: Kalel Mullings, RB, Michigan

This draft class is a tough one because for every great pick I see, there’s an equally large reach, in my opinion. I understand the Ward pick – go get your franchise quarterback. But Femi Oladejo and Chimere Dike were pretty large reaches, while Kevin Winston, Gunnar Helm, and Elic Ayomanor were really solid values for where they were taken.

Washington Commanders

Picks:

Round 1, pick 29: Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
Round 2, pick 61: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
Round 4, pick 128: Jaylin Lane, WR, Virginia
Round 6, pick 205: Kain Medrano, LB, UCLA
Round 7, pick 245: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Arizona

The Commanders had limited capital to begin with, but they made the most of it, in my opinion. Conerly, Amos, and Lane are all great values at premium positions of need, and I think Washington found two immediate starters in their first two picks. Combine this class with the trades for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil – and I think Washington cooked this offseason.
