2015 NFL Draft Grades


The NFL Draft is complete. Now it's time to grade each team's draft.

Cardinals: B+

They got help for their offensive line in round 1 by selecting OT D.J. Humphries from Florida. They drafted Golden a little too soon for my liking, but I do like him as a player. Riddick was a good pick in round 5.

Falcons: A-

Got a pass-rusher in Vic Beasley and a corner in round 2 that fits their scheme defensively. Coleman was a nice pic for them in round 3.

Ravens: B

Perriman was a questionable pick in round 1. Maxx Williams was a tremendous pick in round 2. Carl Davis in round 3 was good value, also.

Bills: C-

Not a fan of the Bills' draft. Took a lot of guys with question marks both on and off the field.

Panthers: D+

The Shaq Thompson selection was a bit of a head-scratcher, but he should help out the defense and be a quality and versatile player in the league. Needed to draft an offensive lineman sooner. Funchess doesn't compliment Benjamin at all. Perhaps the slowest duo in the NFL?

Bears: A

Langford was an interesting pick in round 4, but it was one that should work out well for them. Grasu was a good pick in round 3 as was Amos in round 5. Kevin White will be a stud.

Bengals: C+

Kind of a confusing draft here. They drafted some nice players, but the question is where do they fit on the team? Like Paul Dawson in round 3.

Browns: B

Would have liked to see them draft a WR earlier than what they did. Ekpre-Olomu was a great pick in round 7.

Cowboys: D

Gregory has some serious off the field issues and is a raw player on the field. Byron Jones was not a first round prospect.

Broncos: C-

Trading up to get Shane Ray was kind of a head-scratcher. Didn't draft very many stand out players.

Lions: A

Had a great first round. Filled needs and got some good players.

Packers: B+

Damarious Randall was a good pick. Surprised they went DB in the first two rounds, but it worked out. Hundley was a good pick in round 5.

Texans: B

McKinney and Strong were tremendous selections. Drafted Kevin Johnson too high.

Colts: C

There were better players available in round 1 than Phillip Dorsett. Don't see this as a big-impact draft for them.

Jaguars: A+

My favorite draft this year. Jaguars killed it. Fowler was my number 1 prospect, Yeldon was a good pick and is a good fit, and A.J. Cann was a steal in round 3. James Sample and Rashad Greene were both good value picks and will make an impact in the league. Bennett in round 6 was a steal and Koyack in round 7 was good value. Great draft.

Chiefs: C-

Drafted a lot of questionable players. Peters has off the field issues.

Dolphins: C

Parker was a good selection as were Phillips, Ajayi, and Lippett. Would have like to see them draft an OL earlier. However, the team did get better.

Vikings: B-

Not a fan of Trae Waynes. Love Eric Kendricks. Hunter and Clemmings were both excellent picks. Diggs could develop into a sneaky deep threat.

Patriots: C

Malcom Brown is boom or bust. Flowers was a good selection. Jackson was their best pick.

Saints: C-

Don't like what they did early in the draft. Williams and Grayson were very good picks.

Giants: B

Landon Collins and Odighizuwa were tremendous selections. Took Flowers too early.

Jets: C+

Leonard Williams was a great pick. Devin Smith is a nice compliment for Decker and Marshall.

Raiders: B+

Their first 5 picks were good selections. Valles in round 6 was a good pick as well.

Eagles: B+

Love what they did in the first two rounds. Agholor and Rowe are perfect fits. Shepherd was a great pick in round 6.

Steelers: B-

Not a fan of Dupree or Coates. Holliman was a good selection very late in the draft.

Chargers: B+

Not sure Gordon was the best player they could have drafted, but kudos to them for going after their guy. Perryman was also a good pick.

49ers: B

Armstead was a reach, but he is the perfect fit for the Niners. Tart and Harold were good picks.

Seahawks: C

Love the Lockett pick. That's about it.

Rams: C+

Gurley is a special player. He will make or break this draft for the Rams.

Buccaneers: B+

Got their QB and drafted two good offensive lineman.

Titans: A-

Mariota is not a good fit, but the Titans hit on a lot of their picks (DGB, Poutasi, Cobb, Galik, and McBride).

Redskins: B-

Smith, Crowder, and Kouandjio were good selections. Don't like the Scherff pick.
