NFL draft grades: Final analysis of all 32 teams

The team addressed defense with their first three picks, and added a quarterback with their fourth pick. It’s the premium on quarterbacks, silly. “I promise you, it’s going in the bank”. “He’s got some work to do”, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. Buffalo wasn’t in love with anyone at 10, so they decided to make the right choice – add high draft picks in multiple years. But with numerous mock drafts predicting the receivers would start going off the board in the middle of the first round, not even Davis expected he would be taken with the fifth pick overall. It might be easy to be envious, though the Browns ultimately are lacking a franchise quarterback.

Teams picking in round one will have ten minutes to make their selection.

The Browns surely have a need at the quarterback position, but they would have been reaching with the first overall pick.

The Browns have four picks remaining: No. 181 in the fifth round, Nos. The Cleveland Browns finally found an elite pass rusher in Myles Garrett. That might be true, but there’s still talent that teams might not be content to wait on. Fans donning gear from all different teams made the most of the afternoon ahead of the first round of the NFL Draft. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the first quarterback taken tonight but I’m expecting him to be the second taken. I think the Arizona Cardinals want to take one. Kansas City moved from 27 to 10 for Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech. Instead, the 49ers were able to trade back into the first round and get him with the second-to-last pick of the night.

LSU fans may be down on the New Orleans Saints not taking LSU players. Some teams with more obvious needs (e.g. the New York Jets) may sit out, providing the opportunity for other clubs.

People spend not days or weeks, but months on doing analytical and statistical analysis on every single prospect who has declared himself draft eligible. Suzy Kolber or whomever else is hosting the draft for ESPN will sound and look just fine on your phone with the Watch ESPN app. That list includes linebackers Duke Riley, Kendell Beckwith and Tashawn Bower, defensive end Lewis Neal, defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, and defensive backs Dwayne Thomas and Rickey Jefferson. The Chicago Bears wasted little time making a splash with a trade to move up one spot.
