The New York Jets had a successful draft, acquiring talented players like QB Jordan Travis and RB Braelon Allen in later rounds, which could prove beneficial in the upcoming season. However, their decision not to address the quarterback position earlier and instead trading the pick to the Vikings for JJ McCarthy might be a potential misstep. Overall, their draft grade stands at a B+.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made some positive selections, particularly WR Brian Thomas and DT Maason Smith, but they may have overlooked their need for cornerbacks, as their picks in that position aren’t guaranteed to fill the gap. Despite this, their draft grade remains at a B+.
The Baltimore Ravens once again showcased their drafting prowess by making smart picks across the board, though they might have neglected to reinforce their offensive and defensive lines adequately. Despite this oversight, their draft grade remains at a solid B+.
The New England Patriots had a pragmatic draft without any major surprises, although some speculate they missed out on leveraging their No. 3 pick more effectively. Their selection of QB Joe Milton in the later rounds was a highlight, but the missed opportunity with their top pick leaves room for speculation. Their draft grade stands at a B+.
The Philadelphia Eagles addressed their concerns with a diverse selection of players, but there are doubts about the effectiveness of some picks due to their late rounds. Overall, their draft was deemed slightly better with an A- grade.
