Draft Grades Overall

Draft Days Are Done. A Sense Of Of Excitement For What Is IT so Come, Discouragement For what Has Past, Relief Of The tenseness From the Anticipation leading Up To The Culmination Of Weekend Past. The Awe fills The Air. No NFL Team Existed Draft Weekend Without Improvement But Who amongst The Executive team exercise Economic Acuity And Maximized Their Draft Capital.

AFC East

Buffalo Bills- B+

The Bills Prioritized Defense With Their First Two Selections In The 2021 Draft When The Selected Miami Defensive Lineman Gregory Reussou And Wake Forest Edge Rusher Carlos Basham Jr. Nabbing Basham At 61 Was Steal. The Demon. Deacon Was rated Within The Top Prospects Entering The Draft. The Bills Can Now Boast Of What Is Possibly the Best roster In The AFC And A Return To The Fac Championship Seems Eminent. Are They Now AFC Favorites?

New England Patriots- B

Sometimes In Life The god’s Smile Upon s Smile Upon You My Friend. The Patriots Entered The Draft With A Needs At Quarterback In An Era When Landing A Selection Outside of The Top 10 would Force A Reach, Surrender future Draft Picks Or. Hope Their Player Fell On the Board for Another Reason or Other. Fortune Favored Fox-borough And Mac Jones Fell To Fifteen From Then On The Pats Could Operate The Patriot Way. Draft Another Bama Defensives Prospect, Christian Barrmore Add A Edge Rusher In Ronnie Perkins And A Michigan Linebacker In the Later Rounds. Running back is Never A Sexy Pick No Matter The Round Of But I Love The Rhamodre Stevenson Pick, A Productive Back Who Competed With Against High-Level Competition.

New York Jets-B

This Draft For The Jets Will Be Defined By the Success OF Zach Wilson And the Team Assembled Around Him. The Jets Have NO Success With Quarterback Installment Over These Past Few Years But He Is Slated to Have Stellar Protection With Alijah Vera Tucker Protecting Him Alongside Last Years First Rounder Mekhi Becton. Michael Carter, Running Back Out Of North Carolina in The Fourth round Is Added Offensive Value.

Miami Dolphins-B

In The Realm Of Teams With High-end Draft Capital, The Dolphins Were Sporting A fortune Five Hundred rating. Two first In The Top 20 . 4 Picks In the First 45. For Prospective, the Dolphins Drafted Four Players Before the Rams Made Their First Selection. The Dolphins Made Good With Their Haul Jaylen Waddle An His “Field Tilting” Speed Is expected TO Give Tua Tagaviloa The Comfort He Needs Out Wide And Second Rounder Liam Eichenberg Should Be a Starter on Day One At Tackle. All Of This Is Will Wright Critically On Tua As The Dolphin Continue To evaluate Him.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens-

The Rashod Bateman Selection Has Garnered Universal Acclaim. The 6’2 Wide Receiver Will Suit Up In A Raven’s Uni And Immediately Challenge The Offensive Hierarchy. The Ravens Also Selected Several Edge rushers Including Penn States, Both Will Have The Opportunity To Supplement an Aging Defensive Line And The Loss Matt Judon. The Third round Selection Of Ben Cleveland Addresses The Offensive Line that was Compromised Through The Orlando Brown Trade.

Cleveland Browns- B+

Few Teams Came Out of The Draft With As Much Defensive Upside As The Brown did. The Draft Board Fel For Them On That Side Of Tape Grabbing Northwestern Corner Gregory Newsome In The First And In the second round, The Best Line Backer I =n The Draft By Some Account (My Own) Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Newsome Will Line Up Across From Denzel Ward And Blanket The Outside. JOK Has The Speed And Length To Move In As the Rover Linebacker And Cover Running Back And Blitz In Rush Situation.

Cincinnati Bengals-C+

Penei Sewell Or Ja’mar Chase. The General Philosophy In football Circles, Build From The Inside Out. But General Doesn’t Always Lead To Wins. Cincy Made The “shrewd” decision And Went Out Wide. They Drafted Guard Jackson Carman In The Second Round And Secure Riley Reiff In The Offseason AN d Jonah Williams Is Still Coming Into Form In The Trenches.

Pittsburgh Steelers- B-

The Steelers First Round Selection Of Najee Harris In Not “sexy”. It’s Been The Choice Of many scrutinies Despite Harris’ Universal Renown Amongst Draft Pundits. Second rounder Pat Friermuth Could Morph Into Another Premier Option Starter At Tight end, He Is One of the Only High-end Tight end Prospects Capable Of Blocking Who Entered This Draft. The Steelers won't Gain Any Noterity For This Draft. Matter Of Fact, They May Have Conceded Further Ground To Their Afc North Competitors In The Talent Department. But Overall They Made “quality” Selections Of Players Who meet Needs And Could Contribute to Day 1 and Beyond.

AFC South

Indianapolis Colts-C+

Not Only Did The Colts Not Draft An Offensive Tackle The Highest Need On The Draft Board But They Passed On Virginia Tech’s Christian Darrisaw Who Fell out oF The Top 20 Despite Being A top 10 Talent. As Its Been Stand d Kwity Paye Is A fine Defensive Line Prospect Who Could Give The Afc South Fits But The Colts Didn]t Improve Especially Considering Offensive Tackle Was The Highest Order On Their Draft Board. But who Am I What doMi Know?

Houston Texans-D

“Turning Nothing Into something Is God’s Work”. I don’t Know Houston GM Nick Caserio Personally, But He Must Have Been Had To Fasting All Easter In Hopes Of Supplementing His Sacrality of High-End Draft Picks. Casting Lots For For Clothing Is What Houston Did With This Draft Class. The Most Notable Of Houston 5 selections Was Stanford Quarterback David Mills. High-Risk Relative Reward As A Prospect Whom Could Be Houston’s Day One With Deshaun Watson All But Written off.

Jacksonville Jaguars-B-

Let’s Judge The Jags In A Vacuum. By all Account Trevor Lawrence The Pick Is A++ and If The Jags Had Stop Here, Their draft Calls Would Rival would That Of The Vikings. Nevertheless, The Draft Continued And Then Jags Didn’t Fail To Supplement Lawrence With Talent They Just Failed To Maximize Value For Those Selections. They Could Have Deferred Etienne To the Second Round And Possibly Grab A Wide Out to Add another weapon Out Wide Or An Late Round Edge Rusher. If We Judge This draft On Trevor Lawrence, Which we Shall, Then It Is a Win.

Tennessee Titans-B-

Caleb Farley Was Steal At 22. The Virginia Tech Corner Back won't Address The tItans Need For An edge Rusher But hIs Presence Makes For the Back End. Of The Titans Defensive Structure A No-Fly Zone. Much Still Depends On His Health Moving Forward But If He recoveries This Pick Will Be Raise The Grade For The Titans In this Draft.

AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs- B

The Cheifs Swapped Their First Rounder Fro Tackle Orlando Brown Then Doubled Down on Quality Offensive Line Creed Humphrey Inn The Second Round. The Nabbed Big Bodied Clemson Rpoduct Cornell Powell In The fifth. The Chiefs May Have Enter With Premium But Possibly exited With A Surplus. See Houston This Is How You Manage Your Draft Capital.

Las Vegas Raiders- B-

Trevon Moehrig was One Of The Highest Rated Players I “scouted” And The Raiders Won On The Value Scale With That second Round Selection. Alex Leatherwood In the First Let Alone Top 20 was A Reach But He Does Fill A Need Along Oakland Offensive Line.

Los Angeles Chargers- B+

I Believe It was Ststtsed That Justin Herbert Needed Extra Protection If The Chargers Hoped he’d be Making The Dreaded Second-year Leap. They Found Their Future Offensive Stud In Rashawn Slater. The Tranversded Defense Into Offense When The Selected CB Asante Samuel Jr. In The Second.

Denver Broncos-B-

With Kyle Fuller Bryce Callahan And New Minted, First-rounder Patrick Surtain 2 The Broncos Have A secondary Reminiscent Of The Days When Aqib Talib, Chris Harris T.J. Ward Roam The Backfield In the Mile High. The Trouble The Broncos Didn’t Draft A Quarterback, At All. The. The broncos Are Prepared ToUsher In The Season With Teddy Bridgewater And Drew Lock Pontetnially Under Center. How Far Is Stillwater From Denver? Let the Spencer Rattler Speculation Began.

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys- C

With Dak’s Contract wrapped Up The Cowboys Sought To Improve Their Woeful defense With Inexpensive Rookies Taking 6 Consecutive Defensives Players At The Top Of the Draft. Micah Parson And Jabril Cox Have Endless Potential And Line Backer And Kelvin Cox Could Compete Alongside Last Years Second Rounder Traven Diggs But Potential Is Not Production. Every NFC East Team Improved But Did The Cowboys Do Enough?

New York Giants-B+

The Giants Enter The Draft With One Of The More Talented Skill Position Suite At pass Cathers After Signing Kenny Golladay In the Offseason to Compliment and Compete With Evan Engram for targets in Jason Garrets Offense. Add Inn Florida’s Playmaker Kadavious Toney And Suddenly Daniel Jones Could Be The Envy Of Quarterbacks In The NFC east. Edge Rusher Azeez Oujalri Fell Out Of The Top From His Top 15 rating And Into The Second Round. The Georgia Product Will Address the Giants' Immediate Need At Pass rush. Nabbing Oujalari In the Second Round Is An Automatic Plus On The Grade Scale.

Washington Football Team-A

THE NFC East Could Be The Most Competitive Lower Level Division In Football. And This Years Draft Could Pay dividends for Whoever Take The Top At The Top Of This Base Dwelling Mountain The Favorite For The Spot WOULD BE THE NFL’s Favorite Misnomer The Washington Football Team. Linebacker Jamin Davis Add To what Is already The Most Formidable Front Seven In Football And Sam Cosmi Is A day 1 Guy Anywhere Along The Offensive Line. The Red… Washington Football Team (Please Make It Go Back) Added 10 Players In Total In the Draft. Out oF The Bunch WR Dyami Brown Add To the Short List Of Skill Players for Ryan Fitzpatrick On The Outside.

Philadelphia Eagles-B

Was it Two years Ago when The Eagles Had The Most Talented Roster In The NFL? Oh, The Unforgiving Mode Swings Of The NFL. The Eagles Draft Filled Several Needs Starting with wide Receiver In Devonta Smith, Corner Back Zach McPherson, And Several Picks Along The edge, Including Louisiana Tech’s Milton Williams. Assemble This Team won’t Be Competing In The NFC East Next year But They Have Set Out the Right Track To Rebuild With 9 New prospects To Parse Through for The Future.

NFC North

Green Bay Packers-B-

This Is Green Bay As we Know It. This Is Green Bay As It shall be. I Hope Packers Fans Have The 2021 Draft Imprint On their Eye Lids. Inscription: “The Days Before Rodgers Left.” Aaron Rodgers Drama Aside The Packers For Need And reached On Eric Stokes In the First Round. The Georgia Corner Has Speed But The Value In The First Round Is Not Justified. The third-rounder Amari Rodgers Could Ultimately Become A Quarterbacks Best Friend As The Ultimate Gadget Security Blanket Out Of The Slot As He Once Did For Trevor Lawrence at Clemson. The Share Volume Of Picks(9) And the Quality Of Player Assure that This will be A Memorable Draft One way or Another For Packers Fans.

Minnesota Vikings-A-

The Vikings were eyeing Justin Fields With The 14 But Cupid Arrow Struck The Bears Who Made The Move Ahead Of The Vikes To Snag The Prettiest Throw at the Prom, I Mean draft. Not To Be OPut Done By Their Nfc North Rival, Minnesota Responded By Trdaing back And Secured A “sure-fire” Prospect In Christian Darrisaw. How Darrisaw Fell Out Of the Top 20 Is A Head Scratcher. The Athletic Tackle Is A Day One Starter Across The Offensive Line. The Vikings Made Eleven Selections. 5 In the First 100 4 In The Third Round. The Roster Is Already High rated At the Skill Position An dThe Influx Of young Talent Only Boost Their Competition This Summer.

Detroit Lions- B

I Thought The Lions Needed A Wide Receiver, and Im Sure I wasn’t Alone With That Point. But By Grading System the Lion Collect A Solide Haul Of. Prospects. Penei Sewell Is Expected To Anchor The Lion Offensicse Line Fior Years To Come And Forth Rounder Amon St Brown Should Add Some Depth To The Lion wide Reciever Detail.

Chicago Bears-B-

Justin Fields Is the Highlight Of The Chicago Bears Draft Class Who Could Ultimately Become The Highlight This draft in General. Do You Think Your Team Liked Their First Rounder The Bears Are Schools Girl Gushing Over Fields? Nevertheless, Fields Is Sure To Spend The Next Year In With Clipboard In Hamd Under The Tutelage Of Andy Dalton. The Bears Second round Teven Jenkins Could Prove To Be The Most Valuable Day 1 Impact Guy And Dazzz Newsome Is A Fine Prospect Out Of Carolina.

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons-

The Falcons Had A “solid” Draft. No “Splash” Selections or Momentous Moves. They Steady the Course And Improve Their Team By drafting The Best Player Available At Each Spot On The Boards. Kyle Pitts “will” Morph into The Falcons Number Option in The Pass Game And And Frank Darby, The Falcons Final Pick, Could Prove To Be A Worthwhile One All Things Outside For The Falcons Considered.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers-

The Bucs Are A win Now Team That Drafted for The future. First Rounder Joe Tyron Is An Excellent Pass Rush Prospect Who Should Replace The Expoerieing Pass Rushers Tampa Employs Now. Kyle Trask Is an Excellent Back-Up Who Could up Shoot The Other Quarterback drafted Before Him ot Named Lawrence With His Combination Of Size And arm Strength.

New Orleans Saints-C-

Coin Perfectly By The Athletic, The Saints Are In “YOLO” Mode With No Signs Of The Rush Ending Anytime Soon. When The New Guard Inherits This reigns Of The Franchise there Will Be One hell Of A Bill To Foot. Speaking Of Rushes, The Saints Reached On edge Rusher Payton Turner Early, when They Selected The Houston Pass rusher Late In The First Round. Forgive Me But When They Selected Him That Was the First Time I Heard The Name. They Drafted Ian Book As A Bookend In their Quarterback Carousel In Fourth Was The Best Value Of Their Selections. Cornerback And Wide Reciever Were Two The Notable Needs for The Saints Neither were Neglected, The Saints selected Stanford Cornerback Paulson Adebo In The Thrid And South Alabama’s Kawaan Baker WR In The Seventh. I Know, unremarkable. Oh when The New Guard Of Saints Brass Goes Marching In.

Carolina Panther- B

When Did All Of This Draft Capital Become Available? The Panthers Made 11 Selctioions In this Draft Without trading Out Of The 8th Spot where. The Draft South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn. Surprisingly None oF Those Eight Selections Was A Quarterback Which Means Sam Darnold Is Their Guy For Two More Season And won't Be Directly Competing With another QB In His Trail In Carolina. Good. It's Better For Young Quarterback To feel Secure. Speaking Of Secure Second round Receiver Terrance Marshall Jr. will be An Excellent Secure Blanket Out Wide For A Soon To Be Scrambling Sam Darnold Unless Third rounder Brady Chiatensen Is Prepared To Hold The Forth At either Tackle Spot. The Panthers Drafted

NFC West

Los Angeles Rams-B-

The Rams Have Lost Faith In first Round Draft Picks. The Organization Hasn’t Made A Frist round Selection Since Jared Goff And They Are Not Prepared TO MMAle Another one Until 2024, All Things with Standing. Given That They Sacrificed a First To Move Up To draft Goff Who They Then Traded More First Rounders To Move On From This Method Of Operations Is Justified. The Team Still Kept In Holding n Several Late Round Selection And Grab Some Strong Prospect In Louisville Wide Receiver Tutu Atwell And South Carolina’s Ernest Jones. Value In The Late Rounds Despite The Dearth Of Early Picks, Always A Plus.

Arizona Cardinals-B

-First Rounder Zaven Collins Will receive Most Of The Hype from This Class Of rookies And rightfully So. The Hard Nose Linebacker Will Add To An Already Talented Young Defense. THE Rondae Moore PSKECTION IS ONE I LOVE Personally. The Second rounder Is A Quick Stepper Who Is Sure To Compliment The Air Raid Offense Nicely.

Seattle Seahawks-C

The Seahawks Had Only There Picks In This Years Draft. Three Picks! The Slectimng Started With Second Round Wide Receiver D’Wayne Eskridge Western Michigan. And Ended With Offensive Tackle Stone Forsythe Out Of Florida. Few Teams Are As Skills As Seahwak At Unearth Production Out Of Forgotten Cast Aside Prospects. With Three Picks There Is Not Many Notes To Give An dIt would Be Surprising If Any OIf These Selections Outside Of Eskridge male The Final Roser. But With Russel Wilson Under Center What More Does Seattle Need.

San Francisco 49ers- B

After What Seems Like decades Of Speculation And deliberation An attention, which The Niners Admittedly Enjoyed They drafted North Dakota State Quarterback Trey Lance With Their Third Overall Pick. For Some, The North Dakota State Product was The Most Enigmatic And Admnied Prospect In The Draft. High Praises( Smart Athletic, Competitive) And coupled with Indifference(Inexpeerioence, Tecdhniacllly Inepted, Underexposed). The Pick Will Define The New Decade For The Niners But Presently there Is Not Much To Go On. They drafted Ohio State running Back, Trey Sermon, In the Third Round A Strong In Between The tackle Runner Who Could Develop Into A Featured Back.
