2023 NFL Draft Grades For All 32 Teams

The 2023 NFL Draft has concluded. 249 total players were selected, a record 14 QB's were drafted (3 in round 1), and 12 QB's were drafted in the first five rounds, which is also an NFL record. List of QB's Drafted In The 2023 NFL Draft 1: Panthers, Bryce Young, Alabama 2: Texans, C.J. Stroud, Ohio State 4: Colts, Anthony Richardson, Florida 33: Titans, Will Levis, Kentucky 68: Lions, Hendon Hooker, Tennessee 127: Saints, Jake Haener, Fresno State 128: Rams, Stetson Bennett, Georgia 135:Raiders, Aidan O'Connell, Purdue 139: Cardinals, Clayton Tune, Houston 140: Browns, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA 149: Packers, Sean Clifford, Penn State 164: Vikings, Jaren Hall, BYU 188: Eagles, Tanner McKee, Stanford 239: Chargers, Max Duggan, TCU 2023 NFL Draft grades by team Arizona Cardinals: A Round 1: No. 6 overall — Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State Round 2: No. 41 — BJ Ojulari, Edge, LSU Round 3: No. 72 — Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse Round 3: No. 94 — Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford Round 4: No. 122 — Joe Gaines II, OG, UCLA Round 5: No. 139 — Clayton Tune, QB, Houston Round 5: No. 168 — Owen Pappoe, LB, Auburn Round 6: No. 180 — Kei’Trel Clark, CB, Louisville Round 6: No. 213 — Dante Stills, DT, West Virginia Analysis: The Cardinals are trying to rebuild their team around Kyler Murray. They added one of if not the best tackles in the draft, which is exactly what they needed. They followed up on days two and three by adding Senior Bowl Stand out WR Michael Wilson, a much-needed edge rusher in B.J. Ojulari, and they picked up a potential elite LB in Owen Pappoe. The Cardinals are in the conversation for the best overall draft. Atlanta Falcons: C+ Round 1: No. 8 overall — Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas Round 2: No. 38 (from Colts via Raiders): Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse Round 3: No. 75 — Zach Harrison, DE, Ohio State Round 4: No. 113 — Clark Phillips II, CB, Utah Round 7: No. 224 (from Raiders) — DeMarcco Hellams, S, Alabama Round 7: No. 225 — Jovaughn Gwyn, OG, South Carolina Analysis: They chose Bijan Robinson over Jalen Carter and desperately needed a defensive game-changer. Zach Harrison might be that guy eventually, but Jalen Carter is that guy right now. They get a plus for the Bijan pick overall. Baltimore Ravens: A Round 1: No. 22 overall — Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College Round 3: No. 86 — Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson Round 4: No. 124 — Tavius Robinson, OLB, Ole Miss Round 5: No. 157 — Kyu Blu Kelly, CB, Stanford Round 6: No. 199 — Malaesala Aumave-Laulu, OT, Oregon Round 7: No. 229 — Andrew Vorhees, OG, USC Analysis: The Ravens always succeed in the draft in recent years. They added an elite route running receiver with inside-outside versatility. They followed that up by drafting arguably the most versatile off-ball LB, Trenton Simpson. The Kyu Blu Kelly pickup could be a tremendous value. Kelly is a long-limbed CB perfect for the Raven's scheme. They added a top IOL, Andrew Vorhees, who fell in the draft due to an ACL injury that occurred at the NFL Combine. Buffalo Bills: B+ Round 1: No. 25 overall (from Jaguars via Giants) — Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah Round 2: No. 59 — O’Cyrus Torrance, OL, Florida Round 3: No. 91 — Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane Round 5: No. 150 (from Commanders) — Justin Shorter, WR, Florida Round 7: No. 230 — Nick Broeker, OG, Ole Miss Round 7: No. 252 — Alex Austin, CB, Oregon State Analysis: I like the pickup of Dalton Kincaid, an elite physical athletic receiver at TE who can line up all over the place. They added help for the IOL by drafting Ocyrus Torrence. They also snagged an athletic LB, Dorian Williams, which many people had as a sleeper to watch out for. Carolina Panthers: A- Round 1: No. 1 overall (from Bears) — Bryce Young, QB, Alabama Round 2: No. 39 — Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss Round 3: No. 80 — D.J. Johnson, LB, Oregon Round 4: No. 114 — Chandler Zavala, OG, NC State Round 5: No. 145 — Jammie Robinson, S, Florida State Analysis: The Panthers drafted Bryce Young as expected #1 Overall. They added a WR with a high potential upside, who has been compared to A.J. Brown in terms of physicality after the catch. Jammie Robinson is a likely steal. The Panthers are on the right track. Chicago Bears: B+ Round 1: No. 10 overall (from Eagles via Saints) — Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee Round 2: No. 53 (from Ravens) — Gervon Dexter, DT, Florida Round 2: No. 56 (from Jaguars) — Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami Round 3: No. 64 — Zacch Pickens, DT, South Carolina Round 4: No. 115 (from Saints) — Roschon Johnson, RB, Texas Round 4: No. 133 (from Eagles) — Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati Round 5: No. 148 (from Patriots through Ravens) — Noah Sewell, ILB, Oregon Round 5: No. 165 (from Eagles through Saints) — Terell Smith, CB, Minnesota Round 7: No. 218 — Travis Bell, DL, Kennesaw State Round 7: No. 258 — Kendall Williamson, S, Stanford Analysis: The Bears had a nice three-day run. They added a high-ceiling OT in Darnell Wright, and for selfish reasons, I wanted to see Justin Fields with Bijan Robinson, so the Bears obliged by adding his back, Roschon Johnson. The Noah Sewell pick is excellent value for them. They needed IDL help, and they acquired two; Gervon Dexter, at one point, garnered a first-round grade. Cincinnati Bengals: A- Round 1: No. 28 — Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson Round 2: No. 60 — DJ Turner, CB, Michigan Round 3: No. 95 — Jordan Battle, S, Alabama Round 4: No. 131 — Charlie Jones, WR, Purdue Round 5: No. 163 — Chase Brown, RB, Illinois Round 6: No. 206 — Andrei Iosivas, WR, Princeton Round 7: No. 217 — Brad Robbins, P, Michigan Round 7: No. 246 — DJ Ivey, DB, Miami Analysis: The Bengals added the high-ceiling edge rusher from Clemson, Myles Murphy, but my favorite draft picks are Chase Brown and Charlie Jones. Chase Brown gives you a bit of the Blake Corum effect, while Charlie Jones is a Cooper Kuppesque route runner. Grabbing CB D.J. Turner in round two is also a solid pick. Jordan Battle was once considered the top safety by many, so his value is tremendous. And they got one hell of a punter out of Westerville, Ohio, and the University of Michigan, Brad Robbins. The Bengals drafted two players that know what it takes to win games in Ohio. Cleveland Browns: B Round 3: No. 74 — Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee Round 4: No. 98 — Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor Round 4: No. 111 — Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State Round 4: No. 126 (from Vikings) — Isaiah McGuire, EDGE, Missouri Round 5: No. 140 (from Rams) — Dorian Thompson-Robinson, QB, UCLA Round 5: No. 142 — Cameron Mitchell, CB, Northwestern Round 6: No. 190 — Luke Wypler, C, Ohio State Analysis: The Browns traded all their high-end picks for Deshaun Watson and Elijah Moore, and after spending the GDP of a small country in guarantees to Watson, the Browns need to use the draft to build. They did well drafting Cedric Tillman, a big physical outside receiver. They drafted IDL Siaki Ika, who had 1st round considerations at one point. I love the additions of Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler. Jones has legit 1st round potential and is an absolute giant with the wingspan of a pterodactyl. Dallas Cowboys: C+ Round 1: No. 26: Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan Round 2: No. 58: Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan Round 3: No. 90 — DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas Round 4: No. 129 — Viliami Fehoko, DE, San Jose State Round 5: No. 169 — Asim Richards, OT, North Carolina Round 6: No. 178 (from Bears through Dolphins and Chiefs) — Eric Scott Jr., CB, Southern Miss Round 6: No. 212 — Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State Round 7: No. 244 — Jalen Brooks, WR, South Carolina Analysis: My podcast partner C.J. might disagree, but the Cowboys filled their needs with solid players at the top, but they left a lot to be desired in the later rounds. I love the Mazi Smith Pick. Smith still needs to work on his technique, and Dan Quinn is the guy who can get him there. They filled their need at TE, but Luke Schoonmaker was a developmental TE at Michigan who did pop, but he is not considered an elite prospect. DeMarvion Overshown is a good pick as well. Again, we must trust Dan Quinn. Duece Vaughan earns them a + on the other side of the C grade. He's tiny, but he's compact and versatile. Denver Broncos: B- Round 2: No. 63 — Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma Round 3: No. 67 — Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas Round 3: No. 83 — Riley Moss, CB, Iowa Round 6: No. 183 — JL Skinner, S, Boise State Round 7: No. 257 — Alex Forsyth, C, Oregon Analysis: Thanks to the Russell Wilson trade, Denver didn’t check into the draft until the end of the second round. I won't knock them too much for that in this draft because they maximized every pick. You will hear a lot about the Mims pick, but the Drew Sanders pick is my favorite, followed by Riley Moss. Both players have year-one starter potential. Detroit Lions: A Round 1: No. 12 (from Cardinals via Texans) — Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama Round 1: No. 18 — Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa Round 2: No. 34 (from Cardinals) — Sam Laporta, TE, Iowa Round 2: No. 45 (from Packers) — Brian Branch, S, Alabama Round 3: No. 68 — Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee Round 3: No. 96 (from Cardinals) — Brodric Martin, DT, Western Kentucky Round 5: No. 152 — Colby Sorsdal, OT, William and Mary Round 7: No. 219 (from Eagles) — Antoine Green, WR, North Carolina Analysis: I will not take the blasphemy about drafting a RB at pick 12. When you can get Alvin Kamara or CMC, you don't pass because of a stigma surrounding a position people believe is unimportant. Only a handful of elite backs can do what Gibbs can do as both a runner and a receiver. The Jack Campbell pick is exactly what you should expect from a Dan Campbell-led team. Campbell provides elite athleticism to the middle of your defense. He will be a year-one starter. TE Sam Laporta is Geroge Kittle prototype. He can block, run routes, and plays physically. Green Bay Packers: C+ Round 1: No. 13 (from Jets): Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa Round 2: No. 42 (from Browns through Jets): Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State Round 2: No. 50 (from Buccaneers): Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State Round 3: No. 78 — Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State Round 4: No. 116 — Colby Wooden, DT, Auburn Round 5: No. 149 — Sean Clifford, QB, Penn State Round 5: No. 159 (from Jaguars through Falcons, Lions) — Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Virginia Round 6: No. 179 (from Texans through Buccaneers) — Karl Brooks, DE, Bowling Green Round 6: No. 207 (from 49ers through Texans, Jets) — Anders Carlson, PK, Auburn Round 7: No. 232 — Carrington Valentine, CB, Kentucky Round 7: No. 235 (from Lions through Rams) — Lew Nichols III, RB, Central Michigan Round 7: No. 242 (from Jaguars) — Anthony Johnson Jr., DB, Iowa State Round 7: No. 256 — Grant DuBose, WR, Charlotte Analysis: The Packers had way too many picks. Lukas Van Ness is a bit of a head-scratcher. Van Ness needs more development but could be elite. Luke Musgrave is another coin flip with a massive ceiling if he can stay healthy. Tucker Kraft is a solid pick where they drafted him, but they took a TE two picks before. The Sean Clifford pick could be more questionable; the front office probably has friends of the family working in it. The only answer to me is nepotism with the Clifford pick. If the 49ers drafted Brock Purdy with the last pick in the 2022 draft, how is Seasn Clifford worthy of a pick in the 5th round? Lew Nichols is a steal. I bet he wishes he would have been undrafted instead of a 7th rounder. Jayden Reed could be the top pick from this draft for the Packers. He is a good route runner who can track the ball well. I greatly liked Reed and Charlie Jones as day two or three guys. Houston Texans: A+ Round 1: No. 2: CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State Round 1: No. 3 (from Cardinals): Will Anderson Jr, LB, Alabama Round 2: No. 62 (from Eagles): Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State Round 3: No. 69 — Tank Dell, WR, Houston Round 4: No. 109 (from Raiders) — Dylan Horton, DE, TCU Round 5: No. 167 (from Rams) — Henry To’oTo’o, ILB, Alabama Round 6: No. 201 (from Vikings) — Jarrett Patterson, C, Notre Dame Round 6: No. 205 (from Bills) — Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Iowa State Analysis: The Texans get an automatic A for drafting a QB at pick two, but they had to trade away a lot to get Will Anderson. Ask me in three years if it was worth it. Today, I say yes, it was worth it. They added a center, another edge rusher (Dylan Horton), who had a day against Michigan in the College Football Playoff. Tank Dell possesses elite route running ability. He gets separation, which any rookie QB will need in the NFL. The addition of off-ball LB Henry To’oTo’o in the 5th round is another great pick, and they added another center, who many believed at one point to be the top center, Jarrett Patterson. They finished the draft with a WR, Xavier Hutchinson, a steal this late. Hutch is a big-bodied receiver who provides C.J. Stroud a go-up-and-get-it type, also something you need as a rookie QB. Indianapolis Colts: A Round 1: No. 4 overall: Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida Round 2: No. 44 (from Falcons): Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State Round 3: No. 79 (from Commanders) — Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina Round 4: No. 106 — Blake Freeland, OT, BYU Round 4: No. 110 (from Falcons via Titans) — Adetomiwa Adebawore, DE, Northwestern Round 5: No. 138 — Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina Round 5: No. 158 (from Vikings) — Daniel Scott, S, California Round 5: No. 162 (from Bills) — Will Mallory, TE, Miami Round 5: No. 176 (from Cowboys) — Evan Hull, RB, Northwestern Round 7: No. 211 (through Vikings) — Titus Leo, ILB, Wagner Round 7: No. 221 — Jaylon Jones, CB, Texas A&M Round 7: 236 (from Bucs): Jake Witt, OT, Northern Michigan University Analysis: Anthony Richardson could become a better version of Cam Newton or flail into a bust that I need to figure out who to compare him to. His Ceiling is high, and with Shane Steichen installing the same style of offense that the Eagles used with Jalen Hurts, he could ascend quickly. They added a CB, Julius Brents, who could be the Tariq Woolen of this draft. I like the Josh Downs addition. Downs is a RB at receiver who can give you some excellent after-the-catch ability. They added a great OT prospect in Jake Freeland and followed that up by drafting the high-ceiling edge rusher from Northwestern. They go two steals at CB. They get a solid A. Jacksonville Jaguars: B Round 1: No. 27 overall (from Bills): Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma Round 2: No. 61 (from 49ers through Bears): Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State Round 3: No. 88 — Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn Round 4: No. 121 (from Bucs) — Ventrell Miller, ILB, Florida— Round 4: No. 130 (from Bills) — Tyler Lacy, DE, Oklahoma State Round 5: No. 136 (from Bears) — Yasir Abdullah, OLB, Louisville Round 5: No. 160 (from Giants) — Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M Round 6: No. 185 (from Jets) — Parker Washington, WR, Penn State Round 6: No. 202 — Christian Braswell, CB, Rutgers Round 6: No. 208 (from Eagles) — Erick Hallett II, S, Pittsburgh Round 7: No. 226 (from Panthers) — Cooper Hodges, G, Appalachian State Round 7: No. 227 (from Saints) — Raymond Vohasek, DT, North Carolina Round 7: No. 240 (from Giants via Ravens) — Derek Parish, FB, Houston Analysis: The Jaguars had a lot of picks. They continued to build around Trevor Lawrence, added help on the OL, and drafted a slot receiver, Parker Washington, another solid after-the-catch machine. Tank Bigsby is a great addition as a one, two punch combo with Etienne. Kansas City Chiefs: C+ Round 1: No. 31 overall: Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State Round 2: No. 55 (from Lions via Vikings): Rashee Rice, WR, SMU Round 3: No. 92 (from Bengals) — Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma Round 4: No. 119 (from Lions via Vikings) — Chamarri Conner, S, Virginia Tech Round 5: No. 166 — BJ Thompson, OLB, Stephen F Austin Round 6: No. 194 (from Lions) — Keondre Coburn, DT, Texas Round 7: No. 250 — Nic Jones, CB, Ball State Analysis: The Chiefs positioned themselves to take the best available throughout. They started with Edge Felix Anudike-Uzomah, and in round two, they got a nice steal in WR Rashee Rice. Rice could be special, and he jumped out of the gym at the combine. He is the straightforward Juju replacement. Las Vegas Raiders: B+ Round 1: No. 7 overall: Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech Round 2: No. 35 (from Colts): Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame Round 3: No. 70 — Byron Young, DL, Alabama Round 3: No. 100 (from Chiefs through Giants) — Tre Tucker, WR, Cincinnati Round 4: No. 104 (from Texans) — Jakorian Bennett, CB, Maryland Round 4: No. 135 (from Patriots) — Aidan O’Connell, QB, Purdue Round 5: No. 170 (from Packers through Jets) — Christopher Smith, S, Georgia Round 6: No. 203 (from Giants through Texans) — Amari Burney, OLB, Florida Round 6: No. 231 — Nesta Jade Silvera, DT, Arizona State Analysis: I thought the Raiders would be more aggressive trying to trade up for a QB in the first round. They did get the elite ceiling potential of Tyree Wilson. Wilson is an elite run-stopper who can hold the edge and get after the QB. He is a big lengthy defender who needs to improve his bend. They drafted Aidan O’Connell in the 4th. O’Connell is a solid QB. His floor is career backup, and he could develop into a low-level NFL starter. The Jakorian Bennett and Christopher Smith picks kept their draft grade above a B. Los Angeles Chargers: B- Round 1: No. 21 overall: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU Round 2: No. 54: Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC Round 3: No. 85 — Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State Round 4: No. 125 — Derius Davis, WR, TCU Round 5: No. 156 — Jordan McFadden, OG, Clemson Round 6: No. 200 — Scott Matlock, DT, Boise State Round 7: No. 239 — Max Duggan, QB, TCU Analysis: I did not hate the Chargers draft, but it was less than stellar once you get beyond Daiyan Henley. I do like the Derius Davis pick, not in the 4th, and Max Duggan will be a great backup, but I thought he probably would be undrafted. I need to re-evaluate the Jordan McFadden and Scott Matlock picks. Los Angeles Rams: A Round 2: No. 36: Steve Avila, G, TCU Round 3: No. 77 (from Patriots through Dolphins) — Byron Young, DE, Tennessee Round 3: No. 89 — Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest Round 4: No. 128 (from Giants) — Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia Round 5: No. 161 — Nick Hampton, OLB, Appalachian State Round 5: No. 174 (from Raiders through Texans) — Warren McClendon, OT, Georgia Round 5: No. 175 (from Buccaneers) — Davis Allen, TE, Georgia Round 5: No. 177 — Puka Nacua, WR, BYU Round 6: No. 182 — Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU Round 6: No. 189 (from Titans) — Ochaun Mathis, DE, Nebraska Round 6: No. 215 (from Bills) — Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss Round 7: No. 223 — Ethan Evans, P, Wingate Round 7: No. 259 (from Saints) — Desjuan Johnson, EDGE, Toledo Analysis: The Rams were out here scrapping the bottom of the jar for diamonds and hit some serious dingers. They acquired Steve Avila, our top IOL in the class. As weird as it may sound, the Stetson Bennett pick is solid to back up Matt Stafford. I always believed Bennett would go somewhere in rounds 4 or 5. They got a dawg in Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson; Zach Evans will be an absolute fantasy football darling in a McVay offense. Miami Dolphins: C+ Round 2: No. 51: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina Round 3: No. 84 — Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M Round 6: No. 197 — Elijah Higgins, TE, Stanford Round 7: No. 238 — Ryan Hayes, OT, Michigan Analysis: I like the Devon Achane pick. He can immediately be a special teams contributor. Cam Smith has 1st round potential, and Ryan Hayes played in Michigan's back-to-back Joe Moore award-winning OL. Minnesota Vikings: C+ Round 1: No. 23: Jordan Addison, WR, USC Round 3: No. 102 — Mekhi Blackmon, CB, USC Round 4: No. 134 (from Lions) — Jay Ward, S, LSU Round 5: No. 141 (from Raiders through Vikings) — Jaquelin Roy, DT, LSU Round 5: No. 164 — Jaren Hall, QB, BYU Round 6: No. 211 — DeWayne McBride, RB, UAB Analysis: Jordan Addison fell our draft board throughout the process. It was not due to his ability but more due to the ascension of so many offensive linemen, defensive backs, and defensive linemen. Addison did not post amazing combine numbers, but his tape proves he is an elite route runner who can get separation, and he will be the presumptive #2 to Justin Jefferson as a rookie. New England Patriots: B+ Round 1: No. 17 (from Steelers): Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon Round 2: No. 46: Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech Round 3: No. 76 (from Panthers) — Marte Mapu, LB/S, Sacramento State Round 4: No. 107 (from Rams) — Jake Andrews, C, Troy Round 4: No. 112 (from Jets) Chad Ryland, PK, Maryland — Round 4: No. 117 — Sidy Sow, OG, Eastern Michigan Round 5: No. 144 (from Falcons through Raiders) — Atonio Mafi, OG, UCLA Round 6: No. 187 (from Panthers) — Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU Round 6: No. 192: Bryce Baringer, P, Michigan State Round 6: No. 210 — Demario Douglas, WR, Liberty Round 6: No. 214 (from Raiders) — Ameer Speed, CB, Michigan State Round 7: No. 245 — Isaiah Bolden, DB, Jackson State University Analysis: They get an A for landing the top CB in the draft on our board and a lot of other boards in the draft world. Keion White has 1st round ability, and Marte Mapu was a Senior Bowl darling. I give them a B+. New Orleans Saints: B Round 1: No. 29 (from 49ers through Dolphins) — Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson Round 2: No. 40: Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame Round 3: No. 71 — Kendre Miller, RB, TCU Round 4: No. 103 (from Bears) — Nick Saldiveri, OT, Old Dominion Round 4: No. 127 (from Jaguars) — Jake Haener, QB, Fresno State Round 5: No. 146 — Jordan Howen, S, Minnesota Round 6: No. 195 (from Eagles) — AT Perry, WR, Wake Forest Analysis: The Saints added an IDL lineman with a 1st round ceiling, and Isaiah Foskey had a round-one grade on many boards throughout 2022. Kendre Miller is a player who many think could be an NFL starter. He is a perfect one-two-punch player. Jake Haener is a sneaky get. He can learn from Derek Carr and take the reins one day. A.T. Perry is the big value. He is a big physical outside receiver who could be an absolute dude in the NFL. New York Giants: A- Round 1: No. 24 (from Jaguars): Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland Round 2: No. 57 — John Michael-Schmitz, C, Minnesota Round 3: No. 73 — Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee Round 5: No. 172 — Eric Gray, RB, Oklahoma Round 6: No. 209 (from Chiefs) — Tre Hawkins III, CB, Old Dominion Round 7: No. 243 — Jordan Riley, DT, Oregon Round 7: No. 254 — Gervarrius Owens, S, Houston Analysis: The Giants maximized their first four picks. They added an elite man-to-man CB, an elite center who should be a year-one starter, and the Speedy Jalin Hyatt from Tennessee. Eric Gray should be the backup to Barkley and is great insurance. New York Jets: B- Round 1: No. 15 (from Packers): Will McDonald, EDGE, Iowa State Round 2: No. 43: Joe Tippman, C, Wisconsin Round 4: No. 120 (from Steelers through Patriots): Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh Round 5: No. 143 — Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pittsburgh Round 6: No. 184 (from Raiders through Patriots) — Zaire Barnes, OLB, Western Michigan Round 6: No. 204 (from Cowboys through Raiders) — Jarrick Bernard-Converse, CB, LSU Round 7: No. 220 (from Raiders) — Zach Kuntz, TE, Old Dominion Analysis: The Jets hammered team needs. Will McDonald is a great pick, but they reached for him at pick 15. Tippman has ten-year starter written all over him. They drafted Israel Abanikanda, who will be a great complimentary piece. The round 7 pick of TE Zach Kuntz is a great value. Philadelphia Eagles: A+ Round 1: No. 9 (from Bears via Panthers) — Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia Round 1: No. 30 — Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia Round 3: No. 65 — Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama Round 3: No. 66 (from Cardinals) — Sydney Brown, S, Illinois Round 4: No. 105 (from Cardinals through Houston) — Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia Round 6: No. 188 (from Saints through Texans) — Tanner McKee, QB, Stanford Round 7: No. 249 — Moro Ojomo, DE, Texas Analysis: They won the draft—end of discussion. Jalen Carter is exactly who they wanted outside of maybe Paris Johnson Jr. They got a late steal in round one with Nolan Smith. Safety Sydney Brown in the 3rd is a great value, and getting a potential 1st-round talent at CB in Kelee Ringo in the 4th round is absolute thievery. They traded the Lions to Acquire former Georgia RB D'andre Swift. They are the Philly Bulldogs. Pittsburgh Steelers: A Round 1: No. 14 (from Patriots): Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia Round 2: No. 32 (from Bears): Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State Round 2: No. 49: Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin Round 3: No. 93 — Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia Round 4: No. 132 (from 49ers through Panthers) — Nick Herbig, OLB, Wisconsin Round 7: No. 241 (from Vikings through Broncos)— Cory Trice, CB, Purdue Round 7: No. 251 (From Rams) — Spencer Anderson, OG, Maryland Analysis: Philly is a bully on the block in Pennsylvania, but you, too, can have a great draft. I mocked Broderick Jones as a perfect fit in Pittsburgh, and it happened so good job. You landed the son of a former Steeler, Joey Porter Jr., who we graded as a first-rounder. Ironically, if Christian Gonzalez were to be drafted in the top ten or anywhere ahead of the Patriot's pick, Joey Porter Jr. is probably a Patriot. Darnell Washington is a steal, and so is Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton. San Francisco 49ers: C+ Round 3: No. 87 (from Vikings) — Ji’Ayir Brown, S, Penn State Round 3: No. 99 — Jake Moody, K, Michigan Round 3: No. 101 — Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama Round 5: No. 155 (from Dolphins) — Darrell Luter, Jr., CB, South Alabama Round 5: No. 173 — Robert Beal, Jr., DE, Georgia Round 6: No. 216 — Dee Winters, ILB, TCU Round 7: No. 247 — Brayden Willis, TE, Oklahoma Round 7: No. 253 — Ronnie Bell, WR, Michigan Round 7: No. 255 — Jalen Graham, OLB, Purdue Analysis: Without a full allotment of picks, the 49ers maximized value with pick 87 in round 3, hammered a need at kicker because special teams are essential, Dee Winters is a great value, and Ronnie Bell is a dart throw and is a perfect fit in Shanahan's offense. As far as Latu, he was considered a top TE prospect whose stock had fallen below the tier in which the 49ers drafted him, so it will be interesting to see how he pans out. Seattle Seahawks: A+ Round 1: No. 5 (from Broncos): Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois Round 1: No. 20: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State Round 2: No. 37 (from Broncos): Derick Hall, DE, Auburn Round 2: No. 52: Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA Round 4: No. 108 (from Broncos) — Anthony Bradford, OG, LSU Round 4: No. 123 — Cameron Young, DT, Mississippi State Round 5: No. 151 (from Steelers) — Mike Morris, DE, Michigan Round 5: No. 154 — Olusegun Oluwatimi, C, Michigan Round 6: No. 198 — Jerrick Reed II, S, New Mexico Round 7: No. 237 — Kenny McIntosh, RB, Georgia Analysis: I love what the Seahawks did to maximize their picks. They maximized the Russell Wilson picks, 2022 fifth-round pick (traded to later draft OLB Tyreke Smith and WR Dareke Young), 2023 first-round pick (CB Devon Witherspoon), 2023 second-round pick (OLB Derick Hall) QB Drew Lock. Zach Charbonnett and Kenny Mcintosh with Kenneth Walker III are just insane. I love the Olu Oluwatimi pick; he has ten-year NFL starter potential and was a part of Michigan's back-to-back Joe Moore winning offensive line units as a transfer from Virginia, where he was already an All-ACC center. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: B+ Round 1: No. 19 overall — Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh Round 2: No. 48 — Cody Mauch, OL, North Dakota State Round 3: No. 82 — YaYa Diaby, DE, Louisville Round 5: No. 153 — SirVocea Dennis, ILB, Pittsburgh Round 5: No. 171 (from Packers through Jets) — Payne Durham, TE, Purdue Round 6: No. 181 (from Colts) — Josh Hayes, CB, Kansas State Round 6: No. 191 (from Packers via Rams, Texans, Eagles) — Trey Palmer, WR, Nebraska Round 6: No. 196 — Jose Ramirez, OLB, Eastern Michigan Analysis: The Bucs drafted well; they hit great value, grabbing Cody Mauch in the middle of round two, the Claijah Kancey pick in round one felt early, but they filled a need. Trey Palmer in round 6 was a great value. Palmer is an elusive player that stood out at this year's Senior Bowl. Where they missed is at QB. They could have passed on Kancey and drafted Will Levis with their first pick. It would be best to take as many shots at QB as possible to get it right. The value of getting Levis in this area would have been tremendous, and he could sit behind Baker Mayfield for a season. You only get so many shots at drafting a QB with elite tools, and even if Levis is a project, you still have to kick the tires. Tennessee Titans: A- Round 1: No. 11: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern Round 2: No. 33 (from Cardinals): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky Round 3: No. 81 (from Cardinals) — Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane Round 5: No. 147 — Josh Whyle, TE, Cincinnati Round 6: No. 186 (from Falcons) — Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland Round 7: No. 228 — Colton Dowell, WR, UT Martin Analysis: The Titans began their downturn last season, and aside from their aging roster and the potential downturn of Derrick Henry, they needed to start the process of rebuilding. They are off to a good start. They grabbed one of the best tackles in the draft and passed on a QB, which is risky, but it worked out because WIll Levis fell into the 2nd round, where the Titans traded up to get him at pick 33. I love the Tyjae Spears pick, but there is a medical that came up regarding the loss of cartilage in a knee he tore his ACL in the past. So that is something to consider. I still love Spears and his versatility. They are not dead in the water yet. Washington Commanders: C+ Round 1: No. 16: Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State Round 2: No. 47: Jartavius Martin, CB, Illinois Round 3: No. 97 — Ricky Stromberg, C, Arkansas Round 4: No. 118 — Braeden Daniels, OG, Utah Round 5: No. 137 (from Cardinals through Bills) — KJ Henry, DE, Clemson Round 6: No. 193 — Chris Rodriguez, RB, Kentucky Round 7: No. 233: Andre Jones Jr., EDGE, Louisiana Analysis: The Commanders passed on drafting Christian Gonzalez and chose the leaner 166lbs, Emmanuel Forbes. I love Forbes. He is an absolute ball hawk that punches above his weight, but this was an early reach on paper. Still, Forbes led the NCAA in career pick 6's with six and had 14 INT'S in college. Jartavius Martin was a good pick, he is not a guy in our top 100, but he can be a dude for them early. KJ Henry in round five is a ceiling value pick. Overall, they had an average draft. Like a few teams ahead of them, they passed on QB when Will Levis was still available.
