2025 nfl draft review. Innovative, accurate!

EXPLANATION OF GRADING

2025 DRAFT REVIEW:


MY VIEWS ON DRAFT EVALUATION:

 I decided to stay with simple letter grades for rating team picks and overall draft. Everybody understands them, they will range from A+ to F. The ratings are round sensitive, I will use a multiplier each round and for number of picks.  The Draft is one of my primary reasons for this site, for decades I've watched teams make consistent mistakes and all out failures. Every year I still hear some classic cliches and archaic sayings like "you can't teach speed" the ever popular "best player available" and the more recent additions "He had a great Pro Day" or "He blew up the Combine" Following these thought processes consistently blows up in the face of drafting team. If teams would simply draft the best player to fill needs on their team in the proper round draft failures would be minimized. To me the only things that cannot be taught are Height and Heart!! And if you ignore several years of film and game production for a player who tests well in shorts and a t-shirt you deserve what you get! So yes my innovative views on NFL draft coverage differ wildly but watch, yes I miss one now and then but I'll take the pepsi challenge with anybody out there that mine are more accurate. Starting next year I will be doing my version of a nfl mock draft also. Yes it will be different.


PLAYER GRADING:

Factors in grading are. the players draft rating, fit for scheme and lastly need. Some players may receive a higher grade than those with higher Draft Rating due to better scheme fit or filling a primary or secondary need. Points will be lost for drafting players with lower draft ratings than position drafted or questions on scheme fit or need. These decisions are based solely my own judgement and evaluations. I often differ significantly from so called "Experts" and Draft rooms around the NFL; I also will point out organizations for their failures and continued failures. I do not care who doesn't like it, unlike others I will call it just as I see it with 0.0 worry who I offend!!

TEAM DRAFT GRADING:

    My team grading is based on simple math using the initial letter grade and points for a start. I will then add multiplier #1, this is the round sensitive grade, higher rounds receive a higher multiplier and lower receive a lower multiplier, simple enough I believe.  The reasoning for this is higher round picks carry more importance due to talent available and of course Salary Cap implications which can cripple a Franchise. Teams that consistently overdraft limit future movements in Free Agency, also this can limit the Franchise when it comes to the all important 2nd contract for core players. This is often overlooked but a vital component in a successful franchise. Overdrafting in my opinion is the single most overlooked and easily dismissed componant in failing franchises.  In '21  I  added  multiplier#2  this comes from the number of picks a team makes. this multiplier will work both ways. There are 7 rounds so that is the base number, over 7 picks the team will a positive multiplier and under 7 picks a negative multiplier. This will achieve better accuracy as to which team has the true Best Draft.  I've looked at numerous other draft grades from so called "experts" and they are a joke, mostly A's an B's when in reality if you look at history you will find far more average or below average grades after 3 years. My Drafts and grades will be saved in my History section for review after 3 and 5 years, you will not find that information on other sites. NEW  IMPROVED GRADING FOR '22. New for this season, I felt I was in need of some adjustments so I tightened things up just a touch from last season. So after much thought and experimentation. NEW FOR "23. A small change as I went to 3 digits past the decimal for all scores, just more accurate.

My Draft Grades.

TEAM GRADING SCALE

A+ Over 6.00          C+ 3.50 to 3.99      

A    5.75 to 5.99      C    3.00 to 3.49     

A-  5.50 to 5.74       C-  2.75 to 2.99

B+ 5.00 to 5.49       D+ 2.50 to 2.74

B   4.50 to 4.99        D   2.25 to 2.49

B- 4.00 to 4.49        D-  2.00 to 2.24

                   F  0.0 to 2.00    

Base- Is the average of  Player grades. Grades are set by using the following criteria. My rating of the player. How soon the player will be able to contribute. Team need at the position. Fit with the teams coaching and scheme. Players on the board when the pick was made.

Mutiplier #1-Take the picks and add in Multiplier for the round, 1st round highest and so on. The top 3 rounds are by far the most important so they carry the most weight and impact the final score the most. My ratings also reward teams for quality picks in the later rounds but at a much lower rate.

Multiplier #2  This multiplier is much smaller but still very important in determining the top drafts.Take the number of picks overall and add Multiplier #2. 7 round draft so 7 is nuetral, over 7 adds to score under 7 lowers score each pick over or under changes the multiplier. Of course a draft can be made by one pick but teams that year in and year out compete for the title need multiple players from each draft to become starters.

Grade=  Final Grade, Simple enough!

TEAM RANKING THOUGHTS:

Well, again this year I'm feeling an adjustment to my grading is in order, NO WAY over half the teams drafted to a B- or better. Look for changes nest season! I have said before, none of the "draft experts" give any team below a C- I only had four this year, NOT ENOUGH!  Well at least I didn't have ALL A's and B's as to not offend anyone. If you go back and look at the majority of the drafts, you will find numerous failures, to be kind! Honestly, close to half the teams FAIL in the draft in most seasons.  Well, I don't care about that, I'm about being honest and RIGHT!!  But for this season I'll stay with what I have and OWN IT unlike any others!                                        

                                                               DRAFT GRADING COMPARISONS

This season I'll begin to compare my grades directly with others in the business so you can all see who is more accurate. I'M CONFIDENT that I will be  at the top, most seasons. Unfortunately, I cannot put Kiper's most recent FAILURE up due to ESPN hiding it on their pay to see list.  I will list by my Rankings 1-32 for easy reference. I will compare grades with these sites

  EXPLANATION OF OTHER TERMS

BUST ALERT!!! A player highly ranked by many others but one I do hold in the same regard. Also, this term will be used for players who I call "ONE YEAR WONDERS" these players are either freakish athletes or players who had one season that FAR exceeded their previous production creating serious risk. This term will be reserved for 1st round projections where mistakes can cripple a franchise.

OVERRATED ALERT!!! Similar to the above but not as extreme, for after 1st/2nd rounds. Players are not as highly rated so mistakes while still important do not carry the same weight.  There are multiple reasons for this designation some but not limited to character, talent, injuries, college scheme or system.

UNDERRATED ALERT!!! Players I feel deserve a higher ranking than many/most other so called experts. These players in the future will be referred to as "STEALS" but I want it known my evaluation were on point when they were drafted.

SLEEPER ALERT!!!! A player that perhaps played in a poor scheme for his talents, suffered from poor coaching, revolving door coaching, poor supporting cast but has shown flashes that can lead him to success in the proper environment.

POSITION CHANGE ALERT!!! These are players who I feel due primarily to their skill set or more rarely at times measurables  will reach their maximum level of NFL success by changing from their primary College position. 

CHARACTER ALERT!!!  This designation is reserved for players who have had multiple issues concerning there character. This can be legal issues, multiple transfers, poor practice habits, friction with teammates and/or Coaches, Academic issues and or any other infraction that brings into question the players decision making. Teams must weigh the risk/reward related to these players VERY CAREFULLY!! 

INJURY ALERT!!!! A player with serious injury concerns, medicals vital. Possibly multiple injuries while in college or one severe injury. Also, could have a long history in college and even perhaps High School "Injury Prone" is the common term.   If you are missing time on the field, you are costing your team $$$$     

      ROUND ONE 

In round one teams need to draft STARS, long-time starters, plug and play for multiple years. Steer clear of red flags, over drafting, drafting on Combine or ridiculous Pro Day performances and developmental players, DO NOT BELONG IN THIS ROUND!!!  If your 1st round pick does not start or play significant minutes YOU FAILED on numerous levels!!  Not only did you waste a pick that needed to be correct, but you also caused salary Cap implications that can cause long-term and cripple a Franchise for years to come.

 Scoring Explanation                              

A+  5.00      A    4.50      A-   4.00   

B+  3.50      B    3.00      B-   2.75

Pk      Team                 Name                  Pos         Sch         Grade                                                                                

1.Tennessee          Cam Ward             QB         Mia(F)        C

OVERRATED ALERT: Classic reach for need. Poor organizations stay bad with decisions like this, the spiral will continue! Not a bad player, but a middle of the pack QB long term in my eyes, not worthy of the #1 overall pick.

2.Jacksonville     Travis Hunter      Ath        Colo             C  

OVERRATED ALERT: Not my #1 CB, and had I ranked him at WR he would have been a slot receiver and still not #1. Product of a system more concerned with QB stats and Heisman promotion than wins and losses. Also, HIGH MILES, around 3500 plays in the past 3 seasons, that's FIVE FULL YEARS for most players!! Meion did him no favors! Also, they gave up A LOT to move 3 spots.

3.NY Giants            Abdul Carter        DE         Penn St      A+

My #1 overall player, great pick, plug and play for years

4.New England    Will Campbell     OT         LSU              A  

Is he a LT or RT will be the only question; he should start at LT Day one and likely not move in my opinion. Fills major need, solid value though a touch high, nice pick.

5.Cleveland           Mason Graham    DT         Mich          C     

OVERRATED ALERT: Nice player, my #1 DT, that said, 1st round DT's, DO NOT have a good track record over history! Top 10 DT picks RARELY work out well 2nd round, fine! Plus, an incredibly offensively challenged team like the Browns had FAR BETTER options on the board here! Props for trade down though!

6.Las Vegas            Ashton Jeanty    RB         Boise St      C

OVERRRATED ALERT! The Mountain West in NOT the NFL!! He won't run past or over near as many players at this level.  Remember that, and the Raiders will learn it, nice, explosive player who WILL help and have flashes, but undersized and not a complete player. Poor value this high.

7.NY Jets               Armond Membou  OL         Mo             A

This grade is based on him playing Guard or possibly RT!  If they insist on playing him at LT, well, it drops to a C, at best with a BUST ALERT attached. remember how Becton worked out?

8.Carolina              Tetairoa McMillian WR     Az             C

BUST ALERT!! NOT a #1 WR! Top end for him is WR2 on a team weak at WR, like Carolina. Struggled often to separate in CFB and it's MUCH harder at this level. 

9.New Orleans     Kelvin Banks      OL        Texas             A

Another player who must move inside to maximize his ability, and he can be an ALL PRO. If they insist on playing him at LT , HE WILL FAIL! Jedrick Wills kept coming to mind as I watched him play!

10.Chicago            Colson Loveland  TE     Mich             B

Fills major need, just the wrong player, and I really like Lovelands game, athletic, great hands, nice routes, well-coached. Warren is just FAR BETTER

11.San Francisco Mykel Williams    DE     Geo              A+

Best pick in the draft at this point, TOP 5 talent!!

12.Dallas                Tyler Booker         G          Ala               C

Yet again, Jerry proves he IS NOT the smartest guy in the room. Yes, fills need, and not as bad of a reach as last draft, but WILDY better options on the board. As long as Jerry is there, this franchise will win NOTHING!!!

13.Miami                Kenneth Grant    DT        Mich           F

BUST ALERT!!! This guy is a NT! And not the best one available. Sure, you can put him at DT, but don't expect much production. I have no idea WTF they are thinking but it's wrong, VERY WRONG!! Someone should be fired over this!!

14.Indianapolis  Tyler Warren     TE        Penn St      A+

The best pick of the 1st round!! If they can find someone to throw him the ball, ALL PRO seasons will follow. No weakness, think Brock Bowers who can block and is a better athlete!!

15.Atlanta              Jaylon Walker   OLB   Georgia     A+

Fills need, great scheme fit, excellent player, outstanding pick

16.Arizona             Walter Nolen      DT          Miss         F

BUST ALERT: Hard to understand reach here, far better options available than this late 3rd round graded underachiever, his best season was last year so they saw something I didn't. Yes, there is upside, but this was an unnecessary gamble.

17.Cincinnati        Shemar Stewart DE   Tx A&M     F

BUST ALERT!! 1.5 sacks in each of his 3 seasons. WTF about that makes any GM think this was a good idea!! He a combine star, workout warrior who doesn't know how to play the game and shows no interest in learning. Just an idiotic WASTED PICK!!! Another pick someone should be fired over.

18.Seattle                Grey Zabel        G       N Dak St       F

I'm not big on several things, one is small school guys who could move up but don't and dominate at lower levels, another is players who rise dramatically after the season, HE IS BOTH! YES, there is some interesting upside and versatility, but those players should be drafted later, when it takes 3 years for them to develop it;s not as painful. One nice week at the SR Bowl should not get you drafted in the 1st round.

19.Tampa Bay       Emeka Egbuka  WR   Ohio St    A

Consistent, well-coached, runs precise routes, nice size speed combo, can play inside or outside, unselfish almost to a fault, consummate teammate, he will be a Captain on this team sooner rather than later.

20.Denver               Jahdae Barron   CB    Texas      A+

My #2 CB! Tough, smart, strong excellent character can play inside, outside or even fill in at Safety if needed. Not afraid of contact, no back down in his make-up. Plug and play on day one, outstanding pick.

21.Pittsburgh     Derrick Harmon   DE   Oregon    B+

Perfect scheme fit, solid player in all facets, size, strength, quickness, execution, just not spectacular in any. Just a little early for me

22.LA Chargers   Omarion Hampton  RB   NCar     A+

Perfect scheme fit, tough, strong faster than you think, most of you never watched him play, I see Nick Chubb without the injury woes. Look for him in the Pro Bowl soon.

23.Green Bay   Matthew Golden     WR       Texas      F

Some others love him, I see another Corey Coleman! Undersized for the outside, he is more quick than fast, route running is inconsistent especially on longer routes, lacks strength to win one on ones with bigger CB's. I saw him several rounds later. THeyb wait 20 years to draft a WR, and this is it!

24.Minnesota   Donavan Jackson     G    Ohio St     A

Day one starter! Athletic, versatile, experienced in big games, unselfish, can and has played LT and was quite good. Equal in both run and pass game, 10 years plus starter.

25.NY Giants          Jaxson Dart       QB        Miss          F

Lane Kiffin's QB's do not translate to the NFL. I was fooled before and have not forgot, like some do. Decent but not great arm, limited downfield, threw to limited route tree, he will struggle with the more complex reads needed to defeat NFL defenses. Developmental QB who's top end in middle of the pack. Not 1st round material.

26.Atlanta               James Pierce     DE     Tenn         A      

Pure pass rusher at this point but very good at it and an athletic freak! He will need to step up major in run defense and with his consistency to become a 3-down player, but ALL the tools are there. I thought he could be a Top 10 pick at one time but upside is more than worth the gamble here.

27.Baltimore     Malachi Starks    FS    Georgia   A

Nice scheme fit, solid in all aspects and show excellent cover skills, I just liked Emmanwori better and feel he was a better fit. Still an excellent pick, he will be a Pro bowl player at some point soon.

28.Detroit        Tyliek Williams    DT    Ohio St     B

Another player I like but just to early. DT's rarely have 1st round grades in my world. Williams is massive, quicker than you think and knows how to finish! Can play 1 and 3 techniques, quick enough to even fill in at 5 technique if needed for short bursts. Great scheme fit and fill need.

29.Washington   Josh Conerly    OT   Oregon     C+

Solid all-around OT who fills a major need, fits scheme well, solid in run game and very good in protection, very nice player who will start and help day one, just a round early for me and better options on the board.

30.Buffalo    Maxwell Hairston    CB       Ky           C+

Fills need, nice fit, a little undersized but tough, quick, fast. Missed time due to injury last season. Solid in run support, can play inside or outside, he will contributor day one and be a very good player, just a round too early for me and better options available.

31.Philadelphia  Jihaad Campbell   OLB   Ala    A+

 They had to be amazed he fell to them, the ricj get richer, tremendous value here, perfect scheme fit, great size, speed, quickness profile. He's only starting to realize how good he can be. One of the best picks in the round!

32.Kansas City Josh Simmons    LT     Ohio St    A+

Perfect landing spot. He likely will not contributor much early this season and maybe not at all due to injury last season but look for him to rapidly become a long-term mainstay in the starting lineup by year two. He has improved in all facets every season and was heading to an All-American season before injury. THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD A TEAM!!

 ROUND TWO    

Very close to round one but not as vital, still looking for STARS and STARTERS but players with limited developmental needs can be of value here. Again, watch for over drafting and idiot GM's drafting on measurables and testing performances, these players while perhaps somewhat useful cause a ripple effect within the salary structure that can destroy a team. Still if players in this round do not contribute in some manner in year one, starter, regular  contributing reserve, core Special Teams, YOU FAILED!!

33.Cleveland      C Schwesesinger        LB    UCLA         C

A team as offensively challenged as any, more defense? He would have been on board a round later, stop wondering why this team sucks!

34.Houston          Jayden Higgins          WR   Iowa St     A

Great pick, solid weapon! Excellent fit, he will start this season.

35.Seattle            Nick Emmanwori        FS    S Car         A+

How he got this far with befuddle many. should have been a Top 10 pick

36.Cleveland     Quinshon Judkins      RB    Ohio St     A-

Not the OSU back I would have taken, but still a very nice slasher type, quicker than fast, improved in pass game last season.

37.Miami           Jonah Savaiinaea          G      Az                A-

Starter day one, MUST be a guard, has played tackle but inside he will start 10 seasons.

38.N England   TreVeyon Henderson RB    Ohio St    A+

Best blocking back in draft, best receiving back in draft, as explosive as Jeanty, WILDLY better competition!! On the slight side, will need to split carries.

39.Chicago         Luther Burden               WR    Mo            A

1st round talent, best in slot but can produce outside, quicker than fast, solid route runner.

40.New Orleans Tyler Shough               QB     Louis       F

I could have to eat this one, health will be key, older players like him rarely pan out. Solid arm limited consistent production, nice intangibles.

41.Buffalo           TJ Sanders                       DT     SCar         D

Reaching early for a guy who would have been on board in round 4, solid rotational prospect, you want starters here!

42.NY Jets           Mason Taylor                  TE     LSU          D+

Good, not great at everything, average athlete, better options on board.

43.SF 49ers        Alfred Collins                  DT     Texas       D+

I see him at NT, a career full of teasing flashes, doubtful he will be anything more.

44.Dallas            Donovan Ezeiruaku      DE      Bost C     F

VERY one dimensional, pass rush specialist with moves limited to excellent athleticism, he will struggle to duplicate that same production at NFL level. Gets worked in run game. Likely could develop into a functional pass rush specialist, but round two is not where you draft that player.

45.Indianapolis    JT Tuimoloau             DE      Ohio St   A

Excels in run game, has shown pass rush inconsistently but has excellent potential.

46.LA Rams       Terrence Ferguson        TE       Ore          B

Excellent athlete, hasn't always lived up to it, disappears at times, consistency an issue but wild ass raw talent who could explode.

47.Arizona          Will Johnson                    CB       Mich      B+

If he can get right physically, this will be a major STEAL, problem is that's not a given, has it all when right.

48.Houston        Aireontae Ersery            OT       Minn       A+

Should move tp RT ant start there for 10+ years and see some Pro Bowls.

49.Cincinnati    Demetrius Knight          LB       SCar        B+

Rock solid in run game, little rush ability, has the tools, shows potential in coverage.

50.Seattle           Elijah Arroyo                    TE        Mia(F)     D

One big season after 3 of looking like a D2 player, big gamble here. very limited blocker, as in non-existent!

51.Carolina        Nic Scourton                     DE       TxA&M    A+

He will start day one, look for an ALL-rookie season, Excellent all-around player

52.Tennessee     Oluwafemi Oladejo      LB        UCLA         F

Is he a LB? Is he a DE? Does he know? Apparently, Titans brass thinks they know! Too many question for this high in draft. I see the upside but how long or will it ever show?

53.Tampa Bay    Benjamin Morrison      CB        NDame    B

If he can stay healthy this will be an A, has all the tools.

54.Green Bay     Anthony Belton              OL        NCSt          A

Likely 1st year starter, RT is his best spot, he could move inside but he will find a place to start.

55.LA Chargers    Tre Harris                        WR       Miss           A       

He will force his way into this offense, over 200 catches, 3500 yards and 29 TD's in SEC !!   

56.Chicago             Ozzy Trapilo                   OT       Bost C        D

Built like an OT but moves like a guard. I'm not sold he can find a spot where he fits as a starter.       

57.Detroit              Tate Ratledge                  G         Geo             C-

Limited athlete, very strong, guard only!

58.Las Vagas         Jack Bech                        WR       TCU            B

SLEEPER ALERT: This guy might be the hardest worker in the WR clas so don't be surprised if he outplays this spot.

59.Baltimore        Mike Green                      DE       Marsh        D+

Exploded this season against poor competition, nice athlete but limited moves and run game ability, he is an interesting developmental project, not what you want in 2nd round.

60.Denver              RJ Harvey                         RB       UCF            B

Excels in run game, has surprising power, quick AND fast, downside is he is very limited in all aspects of passing game and will need much work to stay on the field.

61.Washington   Trey Amos                         CB        Miss          B

Should be able to work into line up as a nickle back at the least this season.

62.Chicago            Shemar Turner              DT        TxA&M      F

Never lived up to hype, looks the part just doesn't produce. Typical Texas A&M player.

63.Kansas City    Omar Norman-Lott     DT        Tenn          D+

Has some upside for sure, compact and explosive but limited moves, would have been on board a round later, better there.

64.Philadelphia Andrew Mukuba           FS         Texas        A

Undersized safety will force his way onto the field. great pick.

 ROUND THREE 

Still looking for starters or key reserves at this point, better teams are looking for situational fits and high-level developmental players. Also, players who may not have made the best College choices for their skillset, very talented but had some off the field issues that caused some concern and player who may have some injury red flags.

65.NY Giants           Darius Alexander    DT      Toledo       D

Nice player with upside, just too early, he will need time to adjust after playing in MAC.

66.KC Chiefs            Ashton Gillotte         DE      Louis         A+

Watch this kid force his way onto the fiels, explosive, strong, smart player!

67.Cleveland           Harold Fannin          TE      BGreen       B

Very interesting player just would have liked to see him against better competition.

68.Las Vegas            Darien Porter           DB     Iowa St       C-

Reaching early for this player, not sure where he plays, built for FS, Raiders not likely smart enough to figure that out.

69.New England    Kyle Williams            WR    Wash St      F

I'm just not sold on this guy, he had a few huge games against very bad teams,

70.Detroit                 Isaac Teslaa               WR     Ark               F

Combine guy who never really produced with any consistency.

71.New Orleans     Veron Broughton    DT      Texas          D

Big time recruit who never showed any consistency.

72.Buffalo                 Landon Jackson      DE      Ark              A+

One of the better picks in the round, he will force his way onto the field.

73.NY Jets              Azareye'h Thomas    CB      Fla S           A-

He will be a starter by mid-season, and that's what you are after.

74.Denver                Pat Bryant                    WR    Illinois       F

I'm just not feeling this, late round developmental guy, not sure what they see, nice size, average athlete

75.SF 49ers               Nick Martin                LB      Okl St         F

WILDLY better options on the board that could actually help this team THIS season!

76.Dallas                    Shavon Revel            CB      ECar          A+

In the running for TOP PICK IN THE DRAFT!! Once healthy. he will start, he will be an ALL PRO!!

77.Carolina       Princely Umanmielen   DE      Fla             B

Should develop into a rotational player this season.

78.Arizona               Jordan Burch               DE      Ore           A+

Look for him to come in and force his way into the starting line-up EARLY!!

79.Houston              Jaylin Noel                   WR     Iowa St   B

Should see the field in the slot day one, could have goy him later though.

80.Indianapolis     Justin Walley               CB     Minn         F

Developmental player has some upside but two years away from production at best.

81.Cincinnati          Dylan Fairchild              G       Geo           F

Late round one-dimensional player wasted pick!

82.Tennessee           Kevin Winston             SS     Penn St    A+

Best pick of the Titans draft, he will sart day one and stay there for years.

83.Pittsburgh          Kaleb Johnson            RB      Iowa          A+

SLEEPER ALERT: OUTSTANDING scheme fit! Excels on exactly what the Steelers do.

84.Tampa Bay          Jacob Parrish              CB       Kan St    D

Reach here, much better options on board, slot CB player, period

85.KC Chiefs              Nohl Williams             DB       Cal           B

Shows some versatility, solid CB, could easily move to Safety and excel there.

86.LA Chargers         Jamaree Caldwell    NT       Ore           D

I see him at NT only, noy very athletic, limited moves, just way early, he would have been here in 5th at least.

87.Green Bay             Savion Williams        WR       TCU        D

Looks the part for sure, very limited downfield ability is my major concern.

88.Jacksonville        Caleb Ransaw             DB       Tula       F

Major reach here, I have no idea what they see, at best a special teamer with limited developmental potential.

89.Jacksonville        Wyatt Millum               OL       W Vir     A+

He will start this season somewhere on OL, even the Jags get one right once in a while.

90.LA Rams                 Josaiah Stewart        OLB     Mich      A

An interesting prospect, very explosive. In the right defense he has all the tools to be a star!

91.Baltimore               Emery Jones               RT       LSU       A

This guy can play RT or guard in this offense, nice fit for what the like to do.

92.Seattle                     Jalen Milroe                QB       Ala       A+

My #1 QB. HE NEEDS TO SIT THIS SEASON and fucking learn!! Wild upside but painfully raw and inconsistent, showed glimpses of rare ability that few have, great arm, best athlete in QB class

93.New Orleans         Jonas Sanker              SS        Vir       A

Rock solid in all aspects, he will be on the fields early.       

94.Cleveland              Dillion Gabriel            QB        Ore      F

Little guy with big arm, tough and gritty but limited athletically, apparently the Browns missed his weather comments. Reality is, #1 SIZE does matter, #2 it gets cold in the north and they play in it, and this was a rather confusing pick with the team need for OL/WR! Far better fits on board.

95.New England        Jared Wilson               C          Geo        B

He should find his way onto the firld somewhere inside this season, best at Center.

96.Atlanta                     Xavier Watts                FS      NDame   A

SLEEPER ALERT: Don't be surprised if he's starting by mid-season, rock solid all-around game, nice athlete.

97.Houston                  Jaylin Smith                CB         USC       A

I see him in the slot CB position, he can move outside, but may struggle with bigger WR's

98.Las Vegas                Caleb Rogers               OT       Tx Tech   F

Late round developmental player, athletic but raw and inconsistent.

99.Las Vegas                Charles Grant             OL         W & M     D 

Small scholl developmental player with intriging upside, I may have to eat this one!

100.SF 49ers                Upton Stout                 CB         W Ky        F

Undersized SLOT ONLY CB! Later round player with limited upside.

101.Denver                   Savion Jones              DE         LSU          A+

Excellent scheme fit, he will be on the field this season sooner rather than later.

102.Minnesota            Tai Felton                      WR        Md           F

Another late round developmental player, limited upside.

Major reach here for a testing warrior, it will fail.

104.Jacksonville      Bhayshul Tuten       RB      VaTch        A+

I love this guy, fast, versatile, nice receiver, KR ability, he will find the field often this season!

105.NY Giants            Cam Skattabo           RB       AzSt          A-

I'm in this guy's camp. Tough, strong, versatile runner, average receiver, needs work in protection. Think of a smaller Peyton Hillis.

106.New England     Craig Woodson        SS        Cal             A

Experienced, tough player, can fill in at CB, will be a Special Teams star.

107.Jacksonville      Jack Kiser                   LB        N Dame    A+

SLEEPER ALERT!!! Numerous teams will regret passing on this guy! Look for him to be starting this season.

108.Las Vegas             Donte Thornton      WR      Tenn          A-

Long and fast for sure, VERY raw still, limited route tree but potential is there, patience needed.

109.Buffalo                  Deone Walker           NT        Ky              A+

Great scheme fit, he will clog up the line for sure.

110.NY Jets                  Arian Smith               WR       Geo            D-

MAJOR reach here, tests very well, just can't catch the damn ball.

111.Philadelphia      Ty Robinson              DE         Neb           B

Nice fit for what the eagles do, rotational piece.

112.New Orleans      Danny Stutzman     LB         Okl            A+

He will be starting this season.

113.SF 49er's              CJ West                        DT         Ind              A

Quick. powerful and still developing, nice pick.

114.Carolina                Trevor Etienne        RB         Geo            A

Should be able to be a rotational back this season.

115.Arizona                  Cody Simon              LB         Ohio St    A+

Another player who can start this season. High character!

116.Houston                Woody Marks           RB         USC           A

He will become a solid rotational all-purpose RB.

117.LA Rams                Jarquez Hunter      RB         Aub           D

Not a bad player, just limited in pass game, strong runner, just to early here.

118.Atlanta                   Billy Bowman         FS          Okl            A+

Tough ass undersized DB, can fill in at Slot, will be a Special Teams demon.

119.Cincinnati             Barrett Carter         LB         Clem         A+

I can't understand how he fell this far; others will lament that fact after this season.

120.Tennessee             Gunner Helm           TE         Tex             A+

Another guy who should have already been off the board.

121.Tampa Bay            David Walker           DE         C Ark         F

I'm no big on small school guys, nice raw ability, just WAY to early!

122.Carolina                 Lathan Ransom      SS         Ohio St     A+

Wild ass steal here! He will be on the field this season.

123.Pittsburgh            Jack Sawyer             DE        Ohio St     A+

It may take a year to learn this defense as he will move to OLB, it will turn out great.

124.Green Bay             Barryn Sorrell          DL        Tex             D

A couple rounds to early, limited upside.

125.LA Chargers         Kyle Kennard            DE         S Car        A-

Should become a dependable rotational player.

126.Cleveland             Dylan Sampson        RB        Tenn         D

I don't understand this pick, they took a far bigger, better and more NFL prepared version earlier.

127.Indianapolis       Jalen Travis                OT         Iowa St   D

Has some upside, but developmental guys go two round later

128.Washington         Jaylin Lane                 WR        Va Tch      A+

Another pick I LOVE, great slot potential, solid KR as well, great value here.

129.Baltimore             Teddye Buchanan    LB         Cal            A

Should become a solid rotational player and Special Teamer

130.NY Jets                   Malachi Moore           FS         Ala            A+

Victim of last season's changes in scheme, talented, versatile player

131.New Orleans       Quincy Riley               CB         Louis         A+

1ST ROUND TALENT! Tremendous value here.

132.Chicago                  Ruben Hypolite         LB        Md              D-

WILDLY better options on board.

133.Kansas City          Jalen Royals                WR      Utah St     A+

Look for him to have solid production year one.

134.Denver                    Que Robinson            LB         Ala             A+

Great value here, pass rush skills there, needs work elsewhere.

135.Las Vegas               Tonka Hemingway   DT        S Car         A

He will be in the rotation this season.

136.Tennessee              Elic Ayomanor           WR       Stan          A

Nice upside, should have stayed in school

137.New England       Joshua Farmer           DT        Fla St       A+

Not sure how he slipped this far, solid in all phases.

138.SF 49er's                Jordan Watkins          WR      Miss          F

I have no idea what they are seeing, wasted pick.

 Another round looking for mid-level developmental players, scheme fits for key reserves, players who can excel on Special teams as well as fill a B/U roll. For sure some starters will come from this round but that is Bonus money.

Pk      Team                             Name               Pos        Sch           Grd

139.Minnesota     T Ingram-Dawkins     DE        Geo             A+

I could not believe he was still on the board! GREAT PICK.

140.Carolina            Cam Jackson              DT        Fla               F

Major reach for a player I see as a marginal NT prospect.

141.Baltimore         Carson Vinson           OL        AlaA&M     F

The Ravens rarely eff up in the draft, this will be one.

145.Philadelphia    Rylie Mills                   DL         NDame     B-

Has a nice skill set for this defense.

143.Miami                  Jordan Phillips        NT         Md               F

WASTED PICK!! HTF do you draft a DL with 0.0 sacks???

144.Cleveland          Shedure Sanders    QB        Col              A

After all the hype he finally falls to an offense where he has a chance to succeed. I had him as a 4th round talent, remember that. Added plus, his fall might actually get his father to STFU!!!

145.Philadelphia    Mac McWilliams       CB        UCF             F         

Major reach for a marginal slot CB.                                  

146.New England   Bradyn Swinson       DE        LSU           A+

Nice scheme fit, great value here, rock solid pick!

147.SF 49er's            Jordan James           RB         Ore             F

Far better options available, not understanding this pick.

148.LA Rams              Ty Hamilton              DT          Ohio St    A

Nice developmental rotational player

149.Dallas                   Jaydon Blue              RB         Tex             A+

Another guy who should have stayed in school. Of course, remember, he quit on his High School team as well. Sad, he has talent, just 0.0 patience!

150.Miami                   Jason Marshall        CB          Fla             F

Far too early for this player, marginal NFL prospect to me.

151.Indianapolis      DJ Giddens                RB         Kan St      A+

 Nice but not great all-around game should be a helpful player.

152.Dallas                    Shemar James        LB         Fla              A+

I had him rated much higher, great athlete, even Jerra gets one right now and then.

153.Cincinnati           Jalen Rivers              OL         Mia(F)      D

Developmental prospect, too early here.

154.NY Giants            Marcus Mbow           OL         Pur            A

He could surprise, victim of poor CFB team.

155.Miami                    Dante Trader            FS          Md             F

I just don't see what they were thinking here. Marginal prospect.

156.Kansas City        Jeffry Bassa              LB          Ore            A+

Nice fit on numerous levels, scheme, strengths, should take to special teams well.

157.Tampa Bay          Elijah Roberts          DT          SMU          F

Reach here for a player who would have been on board in 7th.

158.LA Chargers        K Lambert-Smith   WR        Aub            A

Nice value here, solid slot WR potential.

159.Geen Bay              Colin Oliver              LB         Okl St         F

Just way to early for incomplete player.

160.SF 49er's               Marquez Sigle         FS         Kan St        F

Another player who would have been there in the 7th.

161.Philadelphia       Smael Mondon        LB       Geo              A

Very nice upside and potential, nice athlete.

162.NY Jets              Francisco Mauigoa     LB        Mia(F)        F

Far better option on board.

163.Carolina               Mitchell Evans          TE        NDame      B

Solid all-around TE, good but will never be great.

164.Pittsburgh          Yahya Black                NT       Iowa            B+

Major points for scheme fit, just a round too early.

165.LA Chargers       Orande Gadson         TE        Syrac          A

Solid pass catcher, former WR recruit weak in other phases

166.Seattle                 Tory Horton                 WR      Col St          A+

Will be under consideration for the top pick in the draft list.

167.Tennessee           Jackson Slater           OL      Sac St          F

Small school guy who needed far better competition to get picked this high.

168.Philadelphia     Drew Kendall                C        Bost C         B

Very nice player, just better Center options available.

169.Chicago                Zah Frazier                   DB       UTSA          A+

If they are smart enough to move him to FS this will be a MONSTER steal.

170.Buffalo                 Jordan Hancock         CB       Ohio St      B

Should have gone back to school, needs work in several areas.

171.Detroit                 Miles Frazier                   G        LSU              A+

Don't be surprised if he forces his way onto the field this season.

172.LA Rams              Chris Paul                       LB        Miss            A+

Another underrated player, Special Teams demon a the least.

173.Buffalo                 Jackson Hawes            TE       Geo Tch     F

One dimensional due to the offense in college, nice athlete but very raw in pass game.

174.Arizona                Denzel Burke                 CB      Ohio St      A

If he can find some consistency, he can have a nice career, if not, it will be a short one.

175.Seattle                 Robbie Ouzts                TE       Ala                F

I get the two-back thing, but he would have been on board in the 7th.

176.NY Jets                Tyler Barron                  DE       Mia(F)         F

Raw, inconsistent, questionable motor.

    ROUND SIX 

 In this round teams can go numerous directions with limited risk involved. Looking for former elite recruits who did not live up to hype, developmental prospects with various issues. Players who chose colleges poorly, players that did not fit schemes in college, players who were subject to multiple coaching changes, players with elite measurables but production did not match. Players with questionable character but all the tools to be a star. And last but far from least, looking for core Special Teamers who can contribute in small doses when called upon.

Solid, versatile, can play 3 tech or NT.

181.Philadelphia    Kyle McCord               QB        Syrac        A+

Has the tools to be a starter, does he have the head. Questionable under pressure. Should develop into a solid QB2.

182.New England   Andre Borrgalas         K          Mia(F)       C-

I must question a Florida only kicker moving to the northeast, talent not the issue.

183.Tennessee         Marcus Harris             DB        Cal               A

Solid, versatile, should excel on Special teams.

184.New Orleans    Devin Neal                   RB         Kan            A+ 

He will get in the rotation this season, solid in all phases.

185.Pittsburgh        Will Howard                QB         Ohio St     A+

You have Tucker, why? And a guy from Arizona? Again, talent is there.

187.Houston              Jaylen Reed               FS           Penn St     B

Should be a solid Special Teamer at the least, should be a good B/U.

188.Tennessee          Kalel Mullings           RB          Mich           B-

Very one dimensional, pure power back, offers nothing in pass game.

189.Indianapolis     Riley Leonard          QB          N Dame     A

Likely a career B/U but for a decade or so, solid pick here.

190.Indianapolis     Tim Smith                   DT          Ala               A-

I kept waiting for him to live up to recruiting hype, never happened. Still nice value here.

191.Philadelphia     Miles Hinton              OL          Mich           C-

Likely a practice quad player this season, never more than a B/U

Limited upside here, perhaps a B/U on some team.

193.Cincinnati          Tahj Brooks                 RB          Tx Tch        B

Speed challenged, will need considerable work in pass game.

194.Jacksonville      Jalen McCloud        OLB        Aub              C+

He will need a lot of work to be anything more than a small role player. 

195.Chicago                Luke Newman            G           Mich St      F 

Likely to be cut.

196.Detroit            Ahmed Hassanein        DE         Boise St      F 

Very limited upside, small conference player.

197.Houston            Graham Mertz             QB          Fla               A

Once looked to be much more, topped out early in CFB career. Could be a QB2

198.Green Bay         Warren Brinson          DL          Geo             F 

I'll be surprised if he makes the team.

199.LA Chargers      Branson Taylor          OL         Pitt              B

Will develop into a starter by year two.

205.Washington      Kain Medrano               LB       UCLA          D-

Marginal prospect, athletic enough to be a good Special Teamer.

    ROUND SEVEN

In this round much like the 6th players considered for a variety of reasons with even less risk. Looking for former elite recruits who did not live up to hype, developmental prospects with various issues. Players who chose colleges poorly, players that did not fit schemes in college, players who were subject to multiple coaching changes, players with elite measurables but production did not match. Players with questionable character but all the tools to be a star. Also looking for Practice squad candidates with developmental upside.  And last but far from least, looking for core Special Teamers who can contribute in small doses when called upon.

UDFA at best to me, not seeing what they are

OK, I guess if they stumbled onto someone they had to have. Highly questionable with players still available

253.Miami                        Zeek Biggers               DL      Ga Tch    A+
