NFC Draft Grades.

The NFC West Might Have Presented The Easiest Grading Sample Of All The Teams. Two Of The Teams Gutted Their Draft Picks To Contend For A championship; Two Teams Made The Playoffs, Only One Team Contended For The Super Bowl, and The Other Team Made The Most Picks In The Division. The Rest Of The NFC, Not So Much.

NFC East:

Philadelphia Eagles, A.

 The Eagles Aren't The General Rule Of Thumb For Building A Roster, But They Have A Model, Or Playbook They Adhere By Vehemently. Philly Drafted Three Defensive Lines Although The General Consensus Determining That's Not A Weakness For Them. The Eagles Reinforced Most Of Their Strength In This Draft. A Lack Of Diversity Could Prove Problematic, But As Far As Raw Talent, The Eagles Finished With a Stellar Load. The Defensive Arms Race In NFC East Started When The Philadelphia Eagles Grabbed Potentially The Best Player On The Board When Howie Roseman called Jalen Carter to Defensive Tackle Georgia. He's A Difference Maker In The Front Four. A Game-plan Wrecker Almost In His Own Right, Carter Will Join The Devastating Forces Of Philly Front Five. Carter's Inside Rush Game Had One Flaw, His Instances Dampening Motivation. Could Work With On A Line With High Demand And OverAchiever Sink Him Deeper Into A Place Of Motivational Stupor? Joining Carter(Or Re-Joining) & Everyone Else From Georgia, Nolan Smith, Edge Rush Linebacker Type From Georgia. Smith Has an Amazing Upside Just Base On His Athletic Profile, But He Lacks Depth And Refinement As A Rush. He Struggled To Engage And Defeat Block In College. Still, He's Also Incredibly Fast And Sudden, So When He Gets An Opening, He's Home To The Quarterback. In Third Round, The Eagles Draft Alabama Tackle Tyler Steen, Who Most Likely Moves To Guard Where The Eagles Need Help, and Steen Slow Footedness Works Best. I like The Sydney Brown Pick At Safety. He's A High Twitch Athlete With A Nose For The Ball. He's Incredibly Strong, Bench Pressing Around 23 Reps On The Bench Press. At 5'10, Brown Doesn't Have Plus Height But Makes Up In Speed And Range. to The Fourth, Whenever The Eagles See See a Fallen Georgia Player, They Swoop Into Action, Swept Away With Nakobe Dean Last in The Third This Year Kelee Ringo Joins Georgia North Up There In Philly. Ringo Brings A Big, Physical Corner Type Like A Byron Maxwell. Tanner McKee, Porjects As The Best Clipboard Holder A Team Can Have. He's Intelligent, Mobile, and Can Keep the Chains Moving For Stretch If Needed. In The Seventh, The Eagles add Plus Work At Defensive End Moro Ojomo From Texas. The Eagles Still Want To Get Deep On Their Front Seven, Ojomo Adds Similar Profile To Brandon Graham To Their Depth Chart. The Eagles Delivered A Sound-Rounded Draft For Their Books. 

Dallas Cowboys, B.

The Cowboy's Defense Has A Lot Of Big Names, But They Lack A Big Presence In The Middle. Mazi Smith Gives The Cowboys That Block Forklifting Power In The Run Game. The Cowboys Love Fest With Tight Ends Continues, Mike McCarthy's 11 Personnel Offense Has Tight Ends In All Numbers And Sizes. Luke Schoonmaker Has The Full Step To The Starter. He Gives Me Dallas Geodert Vibes. He's A Short Machine and eats Up The Chains In the Zone. Elsewhere The Cowboys Could Also Use Strength At Linebacker. With Micah Parson Rushing The Passer Full Time. DeMarvion Overshown Gets The Job Done. With One Of The Deepest Rosters In The League, The Cowboys Search For Depth At Crucial Positions, StartingAt Defensive End Villami Fehoko. On The Offensive Line The, Asim Richards, Offensive Tackle. Asim Play Light At 309 But Showed Special Movement Skills. Corner Eric Scott Jr., Southern Mississippi. The Cowboys Are Still Searching For That Action Guy Opposite Travon Diggs. The Reward For The Most Touching Moment Of The Draft Goes To Deuce Vaughn, who Getting Drafted By His Dad To The Cowboys. I Want To See How/If The Cowboys Deploy Him On Offense. 

Washington Commanders, B+. 

The Washington Commanders Need A Fixer, A Figure Who Can Get Them Right. Draft After Draft, The Commanders, Are Trap In No Man's Land. Ron Rivera's Squad Puts Forth Too Much Competitive Drive To Fall Into A Position For A Quarterback But Far From Enough Success To Justify The Position. I Applaud The Competitive Fervor, And Making Every Attempt At Competition, Even if That Attempt Comes In The Form Of Carson Wentz. After Denying The Fifth Year Option On Former Number Two Overall Pick Chase Young, Drafting Defense For Five Straight Drafts When Quarterback Was Available But You Weren't In Position To Take One. The Only Spot On The Roster, The Commanders, Neglected To Apply Draft Capital, The Secondary. The Commanders Weren't Bad, But They Lack Talent Opposite Benjamin St. Juste. Emmanuel Forbes From Mississippi State The Thin But Suddenly Quick Corner Who Had 14 Interception In Three Years and Ran A 4.3 At The Combine. After Forbes, The Commanders Continue To Build Their Secondary With Jartavius Martin, Who Played More Of The Coverage Free Safety At Illinois. The Commanders Gave Up Under 200 Yards Passing Per Game Last Season. Still, The Commanders Got Cut On The Deep Ends On Several Occasions, and If They Didn't Play That Ball Control Game, Those Numbers Could've Got Risen By Inflation. The Run Game Figures To Feature Prominently In The Commanders Attack Next, Bolstering Up The Run Game With Adding Blocking. Both Center Ricky Stomberg And Guard Braeden Daniels Fill Immediate Needs On The Offensive Line. Clemson Edge KJ Henry Joins A Group Of Commanders Passer Rusher In Flux. He's A Powerful Fight Of A Rusher Able To Exhaust Multiple Efforts In One Rush. He's Got Moves and Can Work Both Outside And In Between Tackles. Henry Collected 13 Sacks In Three Year But Got Over Shadowed By The Many Other Talents On Clemson's Roster. In The Sixth Round, The Commanders Running Back Chris Rodriguez Jr. The Commanders Have The Decision To Make On Running Back Antonio Gibson, He's The Flashback To Brian Robinson's Power, But He's Taken A Step Back From His Early Success. Rodriguez Offers More Power TonThe Equation. The Commanders Close Their Draft With Andre Jones Outside Linebacker From Louisiana. 

New York Giants, B. 

Building On Your First Substantial Playoff Run In More Than A Decade Requires Retaining Your Draft Capital and Recording a Strong Draft. The Giants Bucketed Both Ends of The Spectrum. Last Season The Giants Made The Most Of What They Had In The Secondary, But The Successes We're Thin When They Found Success. The Giants Select Deonte Banks, Cornerback from Maryland. A Spirited Coverage Defender With A Stream Like Pedal Motion In And Out Of Breaks. He Might Emerge As The Most "Shit Down"

 of All The Shut Down Corners In This Draft. From Corner Position, The GianT Move To Address The Offensive Line. 

Centers Are Moving Draft Boards More And More These Days, And that's Because A Good Center Unlocks So Much Potential In The Run Game. In The Second around The Giants Draft, 6'4 301 Lb Center John Micheal Schmitz, The Powerful Zone Blocker Out Of Minnesota. I Didn't Think Jaylin Hyatt Would Fall To Third Round. I Pick Him to The Giants In The First Round But Third. Hyatt Speed Along Side Darius Slayton DownField Upside. NFL Defenses Will Have No Option To Stacking The Box Against Saquon Barkley In The Run Game. Safety Will Have To Clear The Runaway Downfield. Hyatt's The Weapon Needed To Stretch Daniel Jones's Capacity. Another Element That The Giants Need In Place, The Running Game. Saquon "Should" Return From His Franchise Tag Delay But Otherwise, The Giants Are Plugging In A Backup Plan To Saquon, Eric Gray From Oklahoma. Gray Offers The Same Qualities In Pass Catching and Not Just Out Of The Backfield But Full Route Running. 

NFC South 

Carolina Panthers: A

The Carolina Panthers Showed Up And Played Their Cards As Expected. You Don't Want Your Team To Have The Stain In Their History For Not Picking A Possible "Generational" Talent. I'm Not Using "Generational" Loosely, Bryce Young Fits The Bill As The Poster Child For Franchise Transcendental Talent. Plus, The Past Three Of The Pas Four Notable Quarterback NFL draft Trade Ups Have All Worked Out For Each Team—the Second Go Around: the Bears, Philly, And The Rams. The 49ers And Trey Lance Are Still Up For Discussion, But Brock Purdy Looks Now Ready To Displace Him. In Five Years, Given Bryce Young's Physical Frame Never Departs Him, The Panthers Will Move Up Again To Secure A Quarterback Of Expected Stature. Or This Pick Will Change The Game. They Can't Lose Either Way. 

The Carolina Panthers Had One Of The Thinnest Drafts Of The Weekend, But That's Fine When You Value A Premium Position Like Quarterback Above Anything Else. Bryce Young Defines Their DRAFT and Abjectly The Quarterback Position Evaluation For Some Time. Young Has The Talent To Work With Lesser Talents But The Panthers Snatch Him A Wide Receiver Anyway In The Second In Jonathan Minho. Minho Has Strong Possession Receiver Traits; he's Really Shifty At The Line, And Finding a Comparison In His Game To Former Ole Miss Receiver AJ Brown. Third, The Panthers Move to The Other End Of The Ball with outside Linebacker DJ Johnson To Add Depth Behind The Panthers Other Star, Brian Burns. The Panthers Have A Sturdy Line, And Guard Chandler Zavala Adds Depth To The Interior. The Panthers Are Headed In The Right Direction. Some Team Needs Deep Draft To Create Value. The Panthers Traded Away A Lot Of Up To Spring Away With A Promising Draft. 

New Orleans Saints, B-. 

Call It Bayou Magic, But The Saints Somehow Pull Out Of The Draft with a first-round pick. For Most Of This Draft Jalen Carter Stood UnchallengedAs The The Best Defensive Player and Best Interior Rusher, No Question. Bryan Bresee, Could HVAE hold That Title In Any Other Draft. Bresee Has all The Athletic Potential Without The Finesse Of Carter. He Wants To Blow Through The Offensive Barricade. The Saint Defensive Line Gets, And Because Of Cap Retrains, Anyone Could Fall The Sword Of Cap Casualty. The Choose To Get Young Bring Isaiah Foskey From Notre Dame. He's Built like A Street Fighter And Adds Nice Bend Coming From The Five-Technique. To Get Depth Behind Alvin Kamara, Who Has Suffered Through A Myriad Of Injuries, The Saints Draft Kendre Miller In The Third Round Out Of TCU. The Saint Have Continue To Invest In Their Offensive Line, And Nick Saldiveri Joins The Team In The Fourth To Play Behind Last Year's First Round Pick, Trevor Penning. I Like The A.T. Perry Pick In Round Six. He's A Big Bodied, Easy Moving X Receiver With Glimpses Of High end Above The Rim, Downfield Play That Im Surprised Teams Didn't Pounce On Earlier. Very Few Teams In The NFL Have Had The Draft Success Like The Saints I'm Eager To Witness How They Develop These New Entries. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, B. 

Last Year's Bucs Rookie Class Didn't Contribute Much Now The Bucs Must Turn The Page. No Brady, Loads Of Veteran Contracts and Under Performing Rookie Scale Contracts, And A Division Still Open To Any Of The Four Contenders. I Didn't Expect The Bucs To Go Defensive Tackle Early In The First, But They Missed A Presence Opposite Vita Vea Last Season. Calijah Kancey Has All The Presence. His Motor, Explosion, And Balance More Than Makeup For His Lack Of Traditional Length At The Position. The Buccaneers Once Unflappable Offensive Line Remains In Full Flux. The Draft Cody Mauch, Who Will Move Inside And Play Guard.

Tampa Bay Have tried To Get Younger At Pass Rusher Opposite Shaq Barrett, but None Of Their Picks Have Worked Thus Far. Try And Try Again. Enter Yaya Diaby, Defensive End at Louisville. A Predator Like Hands In The Ground Pass Rusher With An Incredible Motor And Get Off. With Questions At Linebacker Rises The Bucs Draft Sirvocea Dennis To Provide Insurance For Devin White. Even Without Tom Brady, The Tight End Remains A Crucial Position For The Team. The Bucs Draft Payne Durham, The Mammoth 6'6 Tight End From Purdue. They Have Long Search For Some Speed On The Outside To Tag Along With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Trey Palmer Brings That Speed 4.3 Speed Element With A Little "Wiggle" To The Bucs Offense. The Bucs Found Position Of Need At Quality Position Now If They Can Get The Production That Would Clear The Bar For Them Moving Forward. 

Atlanta Falcons, C-. 

"You're not going to get a running back," Said Bijan Robinson. "You're going to get a difference-maker." I Love The Moxie. Not Only For Bijan But for The Falcons, But I Can't Get On Board With This Pick. The Falcons Rarely Come Up Short When Drafting Skill Position Players, And far as Running Backs Prospects Go; They Don't Glow Like Bijan. NFL Defensive Design and Principles Are Tailor To Engaging And Stopping The Run. The Falcons Are Betting They Guess Right Here, But Rushing. Refrain from Force Too Many Adjustments. Even If Bijan Runs For 2000, I Don't Think He Will Make A Dent in Atlanta's Competitive Status. If You're Going To Draft A Running Back, You'll Need Blockers: the Falcons Select Guard Matthew Bergeron, A Hefty Guard Who Can Move Like Micheal Jackson. You Can Only Have A World Class Cadillac With A Few Massive Chauffeurs. Zach Harrison, The Big Edge Rusher From Ohio State. He's More Big Than Anything Else, But The Falcons Need Edge Help and could have done worse than Harrison. In The Fourth, The Falcons Added Depth At Corner With slot Corner Clark Phillip. If You Can't Rush The Passer, You ago Play Extra Coverage. Behind Phillips Two Seventh Round Prospects At Safety And Guard. In All, InCant Hate This Draft, But The Value At Certain Positions, Like Running Back Feel, Misplaced. 

NFC North

Detroit Lion, B:

We don't want to stay stagnant.' We appreciate it, and we are incredibly proud of the success that we had last year. Still, we didn't make the playoffs," while I Applaud Lions GM Brad Holmes's Stance On Sucess Im Not Sure I'd Take The Route He Chose. 

How Did The Lions Make Off With the Lowest Possible Graded First-Round Draft? Especially With Two In The First One Of Which, Also The Last Of Those Courtesy Of The Rams. How to Do Coke Away With The Two Lowest Valued Positions Within The Top 15? Perhaps The Lions Don't Expect Deandre Swift To Return; That's Fine. The Lions Draft His Replacement A Year In Advance At A Higher Premium Than They Choose Swift. If Brad Holmes And The Team's Brain Trust Got Word That The Belt Buckle on Running Backs Could Rise, The Lions Would Choose To Cut Bait Earlier Than Anyone But Them Expected. "I Didn't Know I Would Get Picked As High As I Did Because Running Backs Don't Get Picked As High In This New Age…" Gibbs Said In The Wake Of His Selection. The Lions Then Drafted Jack Campbell From Iowa. Im Not Too Invested To Where A Player Ranks In Consensus Because Campbell Could Very Well Emerge As The Best Linebacker In Football in a Year Based On The Lack Of Production From The Position. Add Campbell Gives The Lions A Decent Linebacking Unit, Considering They Had No Players Of Note Before The Pick. Only A Handful Of Team, In A League When Very Few Teams Have Linebacking Cores That Are "Solid" Because They're Not A Premium Position. Some of The Lions' Round Pick Suggest Better Reason By Team In Brian Branch. The Sam La Porta Tight End, Pick At 43, Campbell's Teammate, Would Have Made For A Better Value At 18 Despite The Lions Drafting Him 25 Picks Later. Maybe Dan Campbell, Lions Head Coach, is Just Like The Kid With The Same Name As Him. 

The Lions Also Snatch Massive Nose Tackle Brodic Martin In Third Round, Filling The Lions Biggest Need In The Draft. I'm Not With The Hendon Hooker Position Value Support Group, But He Gives The Lions A Option Behind and Perhaps A Possibility Going Forward. 

Green Bay Packers, A.

The Packers Are Changing Faces At Aqua, But Brian Gutekunst Still Carries The Same MO. Go in the first Round For The "Um-Teenth" With The Selection Of Luka Van Ness 13th Overall. Joe Berry's Defense Front Has All The Menacing Tools On All Levels, And Maybe They Will Rival Philly This Year. In The Second Round, the PackersStick With Tradition Turning The Key Over To Addressing the Offensive Side Of The Ball With Two Key Elements. The Brain Trust Addressed Tight Emd and Receiver Tight End Luke Musgrave And Wide Receivers Jayden Reed And Tight End Tucker Kraft. Reed Has A Quick Release Off The Line Of Scrimmage. He Looks Almost like Antonio Brown in His Route Running, And He has the Ability To Erase the Press. The Two Tight Ends Are Both Big-Bodied and Highly Rated. The Two Tight Compliment Each Other. One, Musgrave, Presents The Better Pass Catching Option, and Two, Kraft, A Bigger Frame Better Suited For Blocking. Later in The Fifth Packers Got Another Possession Catch Specialist in Dontayvion Wicks From Virginia.

Chicago Bears, B.

 The Chicago Bears Had One Job With This Draft, Protect Justin Fields With The Best Of Their Draft Wealth. The Bears Brain Trust Can Add More Weapons Around Him Next Season. Right Now, He's The Weapon. The Bears Draft The "Enigmatic" Prospect In Darnell Wright, Holding Down The Right Tackle Position. Wright Has Trait But Struggled Consistently Blocking In College. After Offensive Tackle, The Bears Turned Their Focus To Revamping Matt Eberflus's Defense. Seven Of The Bears Final Nine Picks Were Spent Of Defense. Starting Gervinho Dexter Florida's Massive Defensive Tackle. Chicago Hasn't Had A Force Up The Middle Since Akiem Hicks. Dexter has A Long 6'6 310 Frame That's Almost Cloaked under His Length. Lining Up Opposite Him, Zach Pickens A Bigger Body To Control Blocks. Two Corners Tyrique Stevenson And Terrell Smith. On Offense, Step In Roschon Johnson, Who Replaces David Montgomery As A Power Back. Slippery Receiver Tyler Scott From Cincinnati Joins A Cluster Mix Match Wide Receiver Parts The Bears Have to Gather In A Short Two Drafts. Noah Sewell In The Fifth Round, Another Prospect In The Long List Of Players Who Began The Season Expected To Go First Round At The Start Of The Season. If You Recognize The Name, He's Penei Sewell's Brother; he's An Electric Athlete Just Like His Brother. From On the Ball, He Transitions Easy From The Second Level Into the Back Field. The Bears Picked Up An Extra Pick In The Next Year's Draft In All Of The Working Ryan Poles and his Contingent Perform.  

Minnesota Vikings: B+

 The Clouds Or The Sun Beams Of A Justin Jefferson Monster Extension Loom Over The Vikings. With Just Two Years Remaining on His Rookie, The Vikings Have To Break The Bank For Jefferson, Right? Could Jordan Addison Complicate The Experience? Laquon Treadwell Six Year Years Ago, That was The Only Blemish I Could Think Of For The Vikings Who Have Struck Grapes With Draft Receivers In Their History. I Say Grapes Because Grapes Are Expensive Where I Live. 

Jordan Addison Will Quickly Join The List Of Stellar Receivers To Play In Purple And White. Addison's Presence Might Tempt Kirk Cousins To Look Beyond Just Throwing To The Sticks More This Season. Kwesi Also Made A Late Round Move On A Quarterback, Jaren Hall, from BYU. At 25 Years Old, Hall Doesn't String The Cords As A Developmental Price, More Like An Insurance Policy. His Picking nearly Overshadowed The Rest Of The Vikings Draft. 

NFC WEST

San Fransisco 49ers, C. 

The 49ers Have The Blessings Of Starting A Cheap And Competitive Option At Quarterback No Matter Which Option They Choose, so They Could've Balked On This Draft Despite A Roster That's Getting Weightily Expensive At The Top. The Niners whiffed On This Draft. The 49ers Took Nine Player Between Rounds Three, Five, and Seven. I'm sure any Year Two, They Secu—at least Two Gems. With Their First Pick In The Third, The Niners Select Penn State Safety Ji'Ayir Brown. The Niners Have The Most Excitable Scud Missile, Talanoa Hufanga. The Way His Rookie Deal Aligns Along With, SAY, any Of Their Quarterbacks, The Niners Arent Guaranteed To Keep Him Long Term. Brown Adds More Insurance For The Inevitable. From The That, The Niners Made The Pick That Stole The Night Place Kicker Jake Moody From Michigan. The Niners Needed A Cheap Kicker, And Fast. Kicker Aren't Thought Of As Value Picks Because They Only Affect Games In A Limited Space, But The Niners Are Drafting For Value Here. With Their Final Third Rounder, The Niners Draft Cameron Latu From Alabama. The Kid Can Move. He Won't Replace George Kittle anytime, But The 12 Personal Set Could Prove Daunting By The 49ers. Interesting Enough, The Niners Add Two Linebacker Prospects. One is An Undersize, Speed, And Quickness Sniffer, and The Other is A Hybrid Outside Linebacker. The Niners Can't Pay The Entire Defense. 

The Rams, C. 

"Fourth, Fifth, And Seventh Round Picks And 25-Year-Old Prospect"; That's The Epithet Defines The 2023 NFL Draft For The Rams And Les Snead. I'm Not Going Around Say Those Are Now Infamous Because My Grandmother Might Hear, But How Do We Use Our Draft Picks, Les Snead? Oh, Yes, We Harvest Them. The Universe Insured, The Rams, Had To Face The Reality Of Draft Capital. The Rams Made Fourteen Selections, The Glut Of Which They Received In Exchange For Star Jalen Ramsey. A Fine Jester In Return For The Stan Kreonke's Organization Repeated Hubris. Even Absent A First Round For The Sixth Straight Draft, The Rams Probably Satiated With Their Draft The Rams Are The Rams Got The Ball Rolling With(What Doesn't This Team Need) Inside Offensive Lineman With Steve Avila, The Moving Mac Truck Of A Blocker.

Avila was Ranked Number At Guard But Coming Out Of TCU; He Displayed Elite Movement Skills And Played Center At Different Points In The Season. Even At 36th, Avila Feels Like A Steal For The Rams. With Their Second Pick In The Second Round, The Rams Drafted Byron, and The Man Child—Actuall Man—Passed Rusher From Tennessee. Young's An Angry Pass Rusher Who Took The Road Less Traveled Up The NFL Ranks. He'll Turn 25 As A Rookie, So He Doesn't Offer many upsides, Just Immediate Impact, Just As The Rams Adore. The Rams Have Away Too Many Picks To Parse Through. I'll Just Run The Relevant. In The Fourth, The Rams Draft Stetson Bennett, a Quarterback Out Of Georgia. Bennett Will Battle Just About Anybody For The Coveted Backup Spot Right Behind Rams QB Matthew Stafford, And Bennett Should Have The Winning Odds. He's Battled Everyone Who's Stepped To Stage For Georgia's Quarterback Spot. Bennett Brings The Fame Of Two Time National Champion, Maturity, and Some Creativity That Belies His 5'11 Frame. In the Later Round, Picks Like Cornerback Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, RunningBacks Zach Evans Fit Needs, And Offensive Tackle Warren McClendon Fill Needs. I Can't Believe The Rams Couldn't Bundle These Picks Into Better Selections, But With A Roster So Bereaved Of Talent, Them Exercising Their Right To These Makes Sense. The Rams Remind Me Of The Rapper Who Spends Their Fortune To Look Good On The Album Cover, Then Go Bankrupt And Were Forced To Live On Government Wealth And Royalties. 

Arizona Cardinals, B+.

 The Cardinals Are Thirsty For Talent Out In The Desert. Everything But the Quarterback Has Question Marks On Stamp On It, And The Quarterback Remains Untouched Because He's Too Expensive And Injured. In Museum, The Most Precious, Expensive, And "Technical" Ineffective Pieces Are Generally The Most Protected(As Best As Possible). The Cardinals Prioritized Protecting Kyler As Best They Could With Draft The Top Tackle Paris Johnson Jr From Ohio State. I'm Not A Fan Of Johnson, And If He Didn't Struggles Early Like Most First Tackles, I Find His Rookie Transition Struggles All That Surprising. He's A Hulkish body-to-body builder who Might Find The Technical Savvy Of the NFL Most Unpalatable Than The Rusher He Erased In The Big Ten And Elsewhere. The Cardinals Pegged Johnson As Their Guy. In The Second Round, The Cardinals Took Edge Rusher BJ Oujlari From LSU—his Brother Azees Plays For The Giants. BJ ranked Amongst The Always Scrambled Top Five Of Defensive Edge Rusher. While many Viewed The Ojulari Pick As A Reach, I Think He's Extremely Technical With A Touch of Athleticism. Third, The Cardinals Added More Bodies At Critically Thin Positions. At Corner, Garett Williams Will Eventually Join Marco Wilson To Fortify The Cardinals Bludgeoned-ly Weak Passing Defense. The Cardinals Drafted A Potential Upside Wideout In Micheal Wilson From Stanford. Wilson Has Five Years Of Lackluster Production But At 6'2 With Possession Trait, Reminiscent Of Former PAC-12 Standouts Micheal Pittman Jr And Drake London, to The Fourth Where The Cardinals Bolstered Their Offensive Line With Jon Gaines II Guard From UCLA. A Hand Full Of Fifth And Sixth Rounders, Including Quarterback Clayton Tune From Houston And Linebacker Owen Pappoe, Who Could Compete With Isaiah Wilson, Completed The Cardinals Draft. The Cardinal Brass On Only Just Began Their Reclamation Of The Roster. Suppose Anyone Of Their First Four Picks Hits. In that case, The Cardinals Have Something Of A Foundation To Project Across The Barriers Of Tomorrow. Yes, Something Beside This Bowl Of Question Mark Alphabet Soup. Who Knows The Direction Of The Cardinals May Go With The Rough Weather Heading Their Way. 

Seattle Seahawks, A. 

The Seahawks Aced Their Draft Specifically Because They Draft One Of My Favorite Players In The Draft, But First, Let's Start At The Top. Pete Carroll's Drafting Ingenuity Deserve All The Praise But The Seahawks Defense Fell Behind The Offense Last Season, And The Issue Start In The Back. Despite Leading The League Interceptions, Tariq Wholen Still Has A Developmental Curve To Follow, And That's Promise. The Fifth Round Wholen Isn't A Coverage Force Or A Blanket. If Misfortunate Quarterback Miss Time, Misplaces, Or Simply Struggles, Wholen Will Clip Him. He's a Hawk. Seattle's First Pick In The First Round Fifth Overall Devon Witherspoon Compliments Wholen. He Cloaks Receivers On The Outside Through The Route Process, But won't Come Up Or Will I Better Say Hasn't Come With Many Interceptions.

Wide Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Ultimate Intermediate Yardage Monster. Geno Smith Doesn't Have The Rocket. The Vet Scans Diagnosis And Detects With Pincer-Like Precession. The Ohio State Smith-Njigba Will Compliment All Of The Other Threats The Seahawks Present On Offense. Even Now, As JSN stands Slated Behind The Gravity Controlling Effects Of DK Metcalf And Tyler Lockett, I Still Think Smith-Njigba Has Number One Potential. In The Second Round, Seattle Look To Replace and Improve Edge Rusher Bruce Irving With Derick Hall From Auburn. Auburn Still Produce Solid Football Players with Their Second Second Round Pick On Running Back Zach Charbonnet From UCLA. He's A Classic Back, Build Sturdy Up With Unseen Short Area Agility. Seattle won't Commit To A Back Season Even After Rookie Kenneth Walker Exploded For Over 1000 Yards in rushing Season. Walker Struggled At Points In The Season Charbonnet Should Fill The Second Runner Position Opened With The result Of Rashad Penny Departure In Free Agency. The Seahawks Addressed Their Transforming Offensive Line Late In Fourth Round And Fifth Round. Guard Anthony Bradford Fits an Immediate Need Inside and Olusegun Oluwatimi At Center From Michigan. The Seahawks Put Together An Enviable Draft. I'm Sure One Of Their Later Round Guys Will Emerge As A Steal Just Based On Seahawk History: Kenny McIntosh, The Easy Moving Running Back From Georgia, The Seahawks Picked In The Seventh Round.
