NFL Draft 2022 team-by-team grades: Ravens, Chiefs, Lions among six in 'A' range, Jaguars at bottom of class

Let's grade every club's 2022 draft class

The 2022 NFL Draft has concluded which means only one thing -- draft grades are here. Below you will find the full draft classes for all 32 teams with individual grades, analysis for every class and a final overall grade. 

The first-round grades are from Pete Prisco. All the rest of the individual grades were from me, starting in Round 2 through Mr. Irrelevant at the end of the draft. 

Let's get to it. 

Arizona Cardinals 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	55	Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State	B+
3	87	Cameron Thomas, EDGE, San Diego State	B+
3	100	Myjai Sanders, EDGE, Cincinnati	A
6	201	Keaontay Ingram, RB, USC	C+
6	215	Lecitus Smith, OL, Virginia Tech	B+
7	244	Christian Matthew, CB, Valdosta State	C+
7	256	Jesse Luketa, EDGE, Penn State	C+
7	257	Marquis Hayes, OL, Oklahoma	A

The Cardinals tripled down on edge rushers. Smart. And they picked good ones, too, with either awesome or feels-about-right value. McBride and Zach Ertz will be a fun combination at tight end and at least one of Marquis Hayes or Lecitus Smith will start sooner than later. Grade: A-

Atlanta Falcons 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	8	Drake London, WR, Drake London	B-
2	38	Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State	A
2	58	Troy Andersen, LB, Montana	B
3	74	Desmond Ridder, QB, Cincinnati	A-
3	82	DeAngelo Malone, EDGE, Western Kentucky	B
5	151	Tyler Allegeier, RB, BYU	C+
6	190	Justin Shaffer, OL, Georgia	C
6	213	John Fitzpatrick, TE, Georgia	C

GM Terry Fontenot understood how desperately the Falcons needed to infuse high-end defensive tackle to his roster. And he did that. Day 2 was tremendous for Atlanta, and London was my WR1 in this class. Desmond Ridder in Round 3 was awesome value, and DeAngelo Malone has sky-high upside. The later picks were shaky. Grade: B+

Baltimore Ravens 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	14	Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame	B+
1	25	Tyler Linderbaum, OC, Iowa	B
2	45	David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan	B+
3	76	Travis Jones, DT, UConn	B+
4	110	Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota	A
4	119	Jalyn Armour-Davis, CB, Alabama	A+
4	128	Charlie Kolar, TE, Iowa State	A
4	130	Jordan Stout, P, Penn State	C-
4	139	Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina	B+
4	141	Damarion Williams, CB, Houston	C
6	196	Tyler Badie, RB, Missouri	C+

Over the weekend, I tweeted "I want to marry this Ravens draft," which should give you a sense how I felt about it. Soon thereafter, they drafted a punter in Round 4, which I didn't love, but now that the draft is over, I still have deep adoration for what Baltimore did. Kyle Hamilton was my No. 1 prospect, Ojabo was a tremendous stash. Charlie Kolar gave me Mark Andrews vibes on film, and Daniel Faalele is an Orlando Brown type. Jalyn Armour-Davis has No. 1 CB abilities. But no receiver? Grade: B+

Buffalo Bills

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	23	Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida	B+
2	63	James Cook, RB, Georgia	B+
3	89	Terrel Bernard, LB, Baylor	C+
5	148	Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise State	A
6	180	Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State	B-
6	185	Christian Benford, CB, Villanova	B-
6	209	Luke Tenuta, OL, Virginia Tech	C+
7	231	Baylon Spector, LB, Clemson	B-

It's typically hard to get amped about a team's draft when it feels like most of the picks won't be instant-impacts because of the veteran talent already on the roster. But, overall, Buffalo did a quality job with their 2022 class. Elam brings speed and scheme diversity to the defense, Khalil Shakir will instantly boost the Bills YAC efforts, and James Cook gave me Alvin Kamara vibes on film. Plus... PUNT GOD. Grade: B

Carolina Panthers

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	6	Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State	B+
3	94	Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss	B
4	120	Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State	C
6	189	Amare Barno, EDGE, Virginia Tech	B
6	199	Cade Mays, OL, Tennessee	B
7	242	Kalon Barnes, CB, Baylor	B-

Where to start here? On the bright side, Ikem Ekwonu is a stud, although the pass-pro isn't perfect yet. I was confused by the back-to-back trade ups for Matt Corral -- although the value in a vacuum was solid -- and the athletic but slow-processing Brandon Smith, when this is a team starving for draft picks. Cade Mays is nasty and Kalon Barnes is more track star than star corner. Grade: C+

Chicago Bears

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	39	Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington	B+
2	48	Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State	A-
3	71	Velus Jones Jr., WR, Tennessee	B+
5	168	Braxton Jones, OT, Southern Utah	A
5	174	Dominique Robinson, EDGE, Miami (Ohio)	A-
6	186	Zachary Thomas, OL, San Diego State	C+
6	203	Tresten Ebner, RB, Baylor	A-
6	207	Doug Kramer, OL, Illinois	C
7	226	Ja'Tyre Carter, OL, Southern	B+
7	254	Elijah Hicks, DB, California	C
7	255	Trenton Gill, P, North Carolina State	C-

From top to bottom, a sound first draft for new GM Ryan Poles. Kyler Gordon and Jaquan Brisker are defensive backs with impressive functional athleticism. Braxton Jones and Dominique Robinson have the traits to be foundational players -- seriously -- at key positions and Tresten Ebner and Ja'Tyre Carter will be key role roster pieces. I would've liked to see another pass catcher for Justin Fields though. Velus Jones Jr. is good but 25 years old. Yikes. Grade: B-

Cincinnati Bengals

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	31	Daxton Hill, S, Michigan	B-
2	60	Cam Taylor-Britt, CB, Nebraska	B+
3	95	Zachary Carter, DL, Florida	C+
4	136	Cordell Volson, OT, North Dakota Statae	B-
5	166	Tycen Anderson, S, Toledo	B
7	252	Jeffrey Gunter, EDGE, Coastal Carolina	B+

I like the prospects the Bengals picked, especially Cam Taylor-Britt in Round 2. I didn't feel the secondary was such an overt need though. Jeffrey Gunter can outplay his draft position, but will be a bit buried on the edge-rusher depth chart and Zachary Carter felt early in Round 3. Grade: B- 

Cleveland Browns

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
3	68	Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State	B-
3	78	Alex Wright, EDGE, UAB	B+
3	99	David Bell, WR, Purdue	B-
4	108	Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma	B-
4	124	Cade York, K, LSU	D+
5	156	Jerome Ford, RB, Cincinnati	B
6	202	Michael Woods II, Oklahoma	B-
7	223	Isaiah Thomas, EDGE, Oklahoma	A
7	246	Dawson Deaton, OC, Texas Tech	A

Hats off to the Browns for crushing the draft despite not having a first- or second-round pick. They traded back into Round 3 then starting heating up. Martin Emerson is a long, well-rounded corner. Alex Wright has massive upside. David Bell is slow but a darn-good wideout. Perrion Winfrey is precisely the type at defensive tackle Cleveland needed. The two seventh-round picks -- Isaiah Thomas and Dawson Deaton -- were two of my favorite sleepers I felt should've been picked much earlier. Grade: A-

Dallas Cowboys

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	24	Tyler Smith, OT, Tulsa	A
2	56	Sam Williams, EDGE, Ole Miss	A-
3	88	Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama	B-
4	129	Jake Ferguson, TE, Wisconsin	B-
5	155	Matt Waletzko, OT, North Dakota	B-
5	167	Da'Ron Bland, CB, Fresno State	B
5	176	Damone Clark, LB, LSU	B-
5	178	John Ridgeway, DT, Arkansas	C
6	193	Devin Harper, LB, Oklahoma State	C+

Quality prospects at proper value for the Cowboys in this draft, although Tyler Smith is a clear-cut project. Sam Williams had first-round refined talent. The middle-round picks were awesome -- Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson and Matt Waletzko -- and things didn't get significantly worse in the late rounds. Grade: B

Denver Broncos

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	64	Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Oklahoma	A-
3	80	Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA	B-
4	115	Damarri Mathis, CB, Pittsburgh	A
4	116	Eyioma Uwazurike, DL, Iowa State	A
5	152	Delarrin Turner-Yell, S, Oklahoma	A-
5	162	Montrell Washington, WR, Samford	D+
5	171	Luke Wattenberg, OC, Washington	C+
6	206	Matt Hennigsen, DL, Wisconsin	C+
7	232	Faion Hicks, CB, Wisconsin	D+

I adored four of Denver's first five picks. After that, not so much. Damarri Mathis will outplay his draft position. Take that to the bank. So explosive. Delarrin Turner-Yell is so smooth moving in all directions and Eyioma Uwazurike is a polished defensive lineman with positional flexibility. Day 3 was a head-scratcher. Grade: B-

Detroit Lions 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	2	Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan	B+
1	12	Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama	B
2	46	Josh Paschal, EDGE, Kentucky	B
3	97	Kerby Joseph, S, Illinois	A
5	177	James Mitchell, TE, Virginia Tech	C+
6	188	Malcolm Rodriguez, LB, Oklahoma State	A-
6	217	James Houston, EDGE, Jackson State	C
7	237	Chase Lucas, CB, Arizona State	B-

The Lions are ascending. Their draft was a home run out of Comerica Park. Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams -- even with the trade up -- were huge acquisitions. Joshua Paschal is a high-energy, low-center-of-gravity rusher. Kerby Joseph has elite range, and Malcolm Rodriguez is a coverage specialist who angrily dispatches blocks on his way to the ball-carrier. Grade: A-

Green Bay Packers 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	22	Quay Walker, LB, Georgia	A
1	28	Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia	B+
2	34	Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State	C+
3	92	Sean Rhyan, OL, UCLA	B
4	132	Romeo Doubs, WR, Nevada	B-
4	140	Zach Tom, OT, Wake Forest	A
5	179	Kingsley Enagbare, EDGE, South Carolina	A-
7	228	Tariq Carpenter, S, Georgia Tech	C-
7	234	Jonathan Ford, DL, Miami	C-
7	249	Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State	A-
7	258	Samori Toure, WR, Nebraska	A-

Green Bay made bad selections in Round 1 in my opinion. No way around it. Christian Watson. Quality player. Worth a monster trade up in Round 2? No. After that, the Packers smarten up. Zach Tom is going to be a sound blocker for the next decade. Romeo Doubs is a serious vertical threat. Rasheed Walker is a developmental-ish type with high upside, and Samori Toure will outplay his seventh-round draft position. Grade: C+

Houston Texans

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	3	Derek Stingley, CB, LSU	B
1	15	Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M	B+
2	37	Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor	A
2	44	John Metchie III, WR, Alabama	C-
3	75	Christian Harris, LB, Alabama	B
4	107	Dameon Pierce, RB, Florida	B+
5	150	Thomas Booker, DL, Stanford	C+
5	170	Teagan Quitoriano, TE, Oregon State	C+
6	205	Austin Deculus, OL, LSU	C

Houston started with a bang -- Derek Stingley was my No. 2 prospect in this class. Kenyon Green was picked too early, and John Metchie is a fun vertical threat but wasn't worth a sizable trade-up on Day 2. Loved the Christian Harris and Dameon Pierce selections. After that, the Texans didn't move the needle much. Grade: C+

Indianapolis Colts

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	53	Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati	C+
3	73	Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia	A-
3	77	Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan	A
3	96	Nick Cross, S, Maryland	A-
5	159	Eric Johnson, DL, Missouri State	B-
6	192	Andrew Ogletree, TE, Youngstown State	C-
6	216	Curtis Brooks, DT, Cincinnati	A-
7	239	Rodney Thomas, DB, Yale	C-

The Colts had a very Chris Ballard draft. Long, high-caliber athletes galore. Some aren't fantastic football players yet. But typically, starts in the NFL are high-caliber athletes. My favorite picks were Jelani Woods and Bernhard Raimann in Round 3. Curtis Brooks was one of the first legitimately scary penetrators at defensive tackle, and Nick Cross is a missile at safety. Grade: B

Jacksonville Jaguars

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	1	Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia	B-
1	27	Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah	B+
3	65	Luke Fortner, OC, Kentucky	C+
3	70	Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming	B-
5	154	Snoop Conner, RB, Ole Miss	B+
6	197	Gregory Junior, CB, Ouachita Baptist	C
7	22	Montaric Brown, CB, Arkansas	A-

Jacksonville's draft was...puzzling. If you love Travon Walker, awesome. I did not. Trading up for Devin Lloyd was confusing after the monster contract given to Foyesade Oluokun in free agency. Then, Chad Muma was picked in Round 3. Another middle linebacker? What? My two favorite picks -- Snoop Conner, who's a dynamic power back, and Montaric Brown, a super-savvy, fundamentally sound outside corner. Grade: D+

Kansas City Chiefs

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	21	Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington	B-
1	30	George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue	A
2	54	Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan	A+
2	62	Bryan Cook, S, Cincinnati	B+
3	103	Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin	C+
4	135	Joshua Williams, CB, Fayetteville State	B+
5	145	Darian Kinnard, OL, Kentucky	B+
7	243	Jaylen Watson, CB, Washington State	B+
7	251	Isaih Pecheco, RB, Rutgers	B
7	259	Nazeeh Johnson, S, Marshall	B+

Brett Veach had his best draft as Chiefs GM, although the trade up for Trent McDuffie was an overpayment for a corner who doesn't fit the scheme and has minimal upside. Skyy Moore in Round 2 was as good as Kansas City barbecue, and the two seventh-round picks, Isaih Pecheco and Nazeeh Johnson, will make the team and produce early. Leo Chenal is a throwback linebacker who's an inexperienced coverage type. Joshua Williams could eventually be better than McDuffie. Grade: A-

Los Angeles Chargers

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	17	Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College	B+
3	79	JT Woods, S, Baylor	B+
4	123	Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M	A
5	160	Otito Ogbonnia, DL, UCLA	B-
6	195	Jamaree Salyer, OL, Georgia	A-
6	214	Ja'Sir Taylor, CB, Wake Forest	C+
7	236	Deane Leonard, CB, Ole Miss	C-
7	260	Zander Horvath, RB, Purdue	B-

The Chargers were patient and good things come to those who wait, especially in the draft. Zion Johnson was a Rashawn Slater-esque pick in Round 1. Isaiah Spiller will eventually be the feature back with 1,000-plus scrimmage-yard potential. Jamaree Salyer can play tackle or guard. JT Woods will be a playmaker next to Derwin James. Grade: B

Los Angeles Rams

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
3	104	Logan Bruss, OL, Wisconsin	A
4	142	Decobie Durant, CB, South Carolina State	B+
5	164	Kyren Williams, RB, Notre Dame	B
6	211	Quentin Lake, S, UCLA	A-
6	212	Derion Kendrick, CB, Georgia	C+
7	235	Daniel Hardy, DE, Montana State	B-
7	253	Russ Yeast, CB, Kansas State	C-
7	261	AJ Arcuri, OT, Michigan State	C-

 The Rams began with awesome draft picks and got progressively worse over the weekend. Logan Bruss is an ideal scheme fit, and Decobie Durant is a super-confident blur at cornerback. Kyren Williams will outplay his draft position, especially in Sean McVay's offense, and Quentin Lake is a heady and decently athletic safety. Day 3 was weird. Grade: C+

Las Vegas Raiders

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
3	90	Dylan Parham, OG, Memphis	A-
4	122	Zamir White, RB, Georgia	B+
4	126	Neil Farrell Jr., DT, LSU	C+
5	175	Matthew Butler, DT, Tennessee	A
7	238	Thayer Munford, OL, Ohio State	B-
7	250	Brittain Brown, RB, UCLA	D

We didn't get a Raiders pick until No. 90 overall, and they still had a quality draft. The first four selections were solid picks. Dylan Parham is a nasty brawler with vice grips for hands, Matthew Butler may be the most high-energy defensive lineman in the class. Zamir White is extremely explosive through the line of scrimmage. The last two picks, albeit late, weren't fantastic. Grade: B

Miami Dolphins

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
3	102	Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia	B-
4	125	Erik Ezukanma, WR, Texas Tech	B
7	224	Cameron Goode, LB, Cal	A-
7	247	Skylar Thompson, QB, Kansas State	B+

The Dolphins did a reasonable job despite having minimal draft capital. You can sometimes lose Tindall on film because he's so damn fast. Ezukanma adds some YAC juice to a crowded receiver room, and Goode was one of my favorite, athletic sleepers in the class. Grade: B

Minnesota Vikings

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	32	Lewis Cine, S, Georgia	B+
2	42	Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson	A-
2	59	Ed Ingram, OL, LSU	C-
3	66	Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma	A
4	118	Akayleb Evans, CB, Missouri	C+
5	165	Esezi Otomewo, EDGE, Minnesota	A-
5	169	Ty Chandler, RB, North Carolina	A-
6	184	Vederian Lowe, OT, Illinois	C
6	191	Jalen Nailor, WR, Michigan State	C+
7	227	Nick Muse, TE, South Carolina	C+

The Vikings took me on a rollercoaster ride during this draft. Lewis Cine and Andrew Booth were quality picks in a secondary that needs patchwork. Ed Ingram is not a zone-blocking scheme fit whatsoever and was picked too early. Asamoah is a rangy linebacker who will eventually be able to cover and takes on blocks with authority. Esezi Otomewo is a large, versatile defensive end. Ty Chandler will rock in Kevin O'Connell's system. The sixth-round picks were nothing to get too excited about. Grade: C+

New England Patriots

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	20	Cole Strange, OL, Chattanooga	C
2	50	Tyquan Thornton, WR, baylor	A-
3	85	Marcus Jones, CB, Houston	B
4	121	Jack Jones, CB, Arizona State	C
4	127	Pierre Strong, RB, South Dakota State	C+
4	137	Bailey Zappe, QB, Western Kentucky	B+
6	183	Kevin Harris, RB, South Carolina	C
6	200	Sam Roberts, DL, Northwest Missouri	C-
6	210	Chasen Hines, OG, LSU	B+
7	245	Andrew Stueber, OL, Michigan	B-

Let's not conflate Bill Belichick's best-coach-of-all-time resume with a thought that he's been an amazing drafting GM. He hasn't been. And this draft was from the Upside Down. Two running backs when there's Damien Harris, James White, and Rhamondre Stevenson already on the roster? Marcus Jones and Jack Jones feel like chippy Patriots nickel corners, but they're severely undersized. Cole Strange won't be a colossal bust but was picked too early. I did like the Bailey Zappe and Tyquan Thornton selections. Grade: C

New Orleans Saints

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	11	Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State	C+
1	19	Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa	B-
2	49	Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee	C+
5	161	D'Marco Jackson, LB, App State	A-
6	194	Jordan Jackson, DT, Air Force	B

The Saints had another draft with minimal capital, something they've been doing long before the Rams made it cool. Trading up for Chris Olave was too rich in Round 1 but addressed a glaring need. D'Marco and Jordan Jackson will outplay their draft positions on defense and peek ahead to the future at those positions. Grade: C+

New York Giants

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	5	Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon	A
1	7	Evan Neal, OT, Alabama	A
2	43	Wan'Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky	B-
3	67	Josh Ezeudu, OL, North Carolina	C+
3	81	Cordale Flott, CB, LSU	A
4	112	Daniel Bellinger, TE, San Diego State	C
4	114	Dane Belton, S, Iowa	B-
5	146	Micah McFadden, LB, Indiana	B+
5	147	D.J. Davidson, DL, Arizona State	C
5	173	Marcus McKethan, OT, North Carolina	B-
6	182	Darrian Beavers, LB, Cincinnati	B+

Well, we know now new Giants GM Joe Schoen knows what he's doing when it comes to navigated the draft. The Kayon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal selections were outstanding in Round 1. Wan'Dale Robinson went a touch early but is dynamic at all three levels, and Joshua Ezeudu will provide a nice athleticism/power blend to the offensive line. Cordale Flott is a ready-to-go slot defender, and Micah McFadden has team-leader-in-tackles upside at linebacker. Grade: B+

New York Jets

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	4	Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati	B+
1	10	Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State	A
1	26	Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State	A
2	36	Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State	B
3	101	Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State	A-
4	111	Max Mitchell, OT, Louisiani	A-
4	117	Micheal Clemons, EDGE, Texas A&M	B+

With an abundance of picks, the Jets were positioned to crush this draft. I like what they did. But not as much as the masses. The two first picks -- outstanding. Jermaine Johnson was still picked too early and cost a lot in a trade up. Breece Hall will be a fun RB. But early in Round 2 after at trade up lessened the value of that selection. The later picks -- Jeremy Ruckert, Max Mitchell, and Micheal Clemons -- were actually the club's best value picks. Grade: B+

Philadelphia Eagles

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	13	Jordan Davis, DT, Gerogia	B
2	51	Cam Jurgens, OL, Nebraska	A-
3	83	Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia	A
6	181	Kyren Johnson, EDGE, Kansas	B+
6	198	Grant Calcaterra, TE, SMU	B-

As an enormous human being with an historic combine workout on his resume, of course there was serious buzz about Jordan Davis. He has a ways to go before he's a game-wrecking pass rusher, and he was a costly pick for Philadelphia. It's hard to do better than Cam Jurgens and Nakobe Dean on Day 2. The Day 3 picks have decent upside. Grade: B

Pittsburgh Steelers

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	20	Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh	A
2	52	George Pickens, WR, Georgia	A
3	84	DeMarvin Leal, DL, Texas A&M	B
4	138	Calvin Austin, WR, Memphis	A
6	208	Connor Heyward, TE, Michigan State	C
7	225	Mark Robinson, LB, Ole Miss	C-
7	241	Chris Oladokun, QB, South Dakota State	C+

Loved the two receiver picks for Pittsburgh, the prospects themselves and when they were selected. Kenny Pickett ahead of Malik Willis was questionable. DeMarvin Leal is a classic Steelers defensive lineman who can learn from Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt. The later rounds didn't feature any steals. Grade: B-

Seattle Seahawks 

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	9	Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State	B
2	40	Boye Mafe, DL, Minnesota	A-
2	41	Kenneth Walker, RB, Michigan State	C+
3	72	Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State	C+
4	109	Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati	A-
5	153	Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA	B-
5	158	Tyreke Smith, EDGE, Ohio State	A
7	229	Bo Melton, WR, Rutgers	C+
7	233	Dareke Young, WR, Lenoir-Rhyne	B+

Pop in some gum and wear that monocle with a tiny smirk, Pete Carroll. Your team crushed its draft, even if it didn't address the quarterback position. Getting the best pass-protector in the class in Round 1 -- Charles Cross -- was a major win. Boye Mafe and Coby Bryant are immediate starters with high floor. Tariq Woolen and Dareke Young are large projects who, if coached up, can be unique stars. And Tyreke Smith is a hand-work master with serious bend. Grade: A-

San Francisco 49ers

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	61	Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC	B+
3	93	Tyrion Davis-Price, RB, LSU	D
3	105	Danny Gray, WR, SMU	C
4	134	Spencer Burford, OL, UTSA	B
5	172	Samuel Womack, CB, Toledo	C-
6	187	Nick Zakelj, OL, Fordham	B-
6	220	Kalia Davis, DT, UCF	B+
6	221	Tariq Castro-Fields, CB, Penn State	A
7	262	Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State	C+

As has typically been the case during the John Lynch era, the 49ers took me on a wild ride over draft weekend. They made some great selections -- Drake Jackson in Round 2, Tariq Castro-Fields and Kalia Davis in Round 6 -- and some squint-at-my-computer-screen picks like Tyrion Davis-Price and Danny Gray in the third round. Grade: C+

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
2	33	Logan Hall, DT, Houston	A-
2	57	Luke Goedeke, OL, Central Michigan	C+
3	91	Rachaad White, RB, Arizona State	B
4	106	Cade Otton, TE, Washington	C+
4	133	Jake Camarda, P, Georgia	C-
5	157	Zyon McCollum, CB, Sam Houston State	A+
6	218	Ko Kieft, TE, Minnesota	C+
7	248	Andre Anthony, EDGE, LSU	D+

It's better to start strong in a draft when the picks are more valuable and fade away later than the opposite. That's what the Buccaneers did in this draft. Trading out of Round 1 was completely justifiable and Logan Hall and Rachaad White are instant-impact types. Zyon McCollum was picked way later than he should have been available. Grade: B

Tennessee Titans

Round	Pick	Player	Grade
1	18	Trelyon Burks, WR, Arkansas	C+
2	35	Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn	A
3	69	Nicholas Petit-Frere, OL, Ohio State	C
3	86	Malik Willis, QB, Liberty	A+
4	131	Hassan Haskins, RB, Michigan	C

The Titans aced a draft even when they traded A.J. Brown during it. The haul they got in return for that deal and the Jets moving up for Jermaine Johnson was otherworldly. Malik Willis was a first-round talent who will eventually take over at quarterback and move the team into the 21st century. McCreary is a stud and Chigoziem Okonkwo will be a weapon after the catch. Grade: A

The Commanders had a sound albeit unspectacular draft. Jahan Dotson will be a fun complement to Terry McClaurin, he was just picked a bit too early. Phidarian Mathis is a high floor defensive lineman, and Sam Howell in Round 5 was tremendous value. Chris Paul is the other standout Day 3 pick. Grade: B-
