The 2018 NFL Draft was an exciting one. All of the trades, 5 QB's going in the first round, and David Akers announcing the Eagles pick, made for an exciting 3 days. So let's get down and dirty with some team grades!



AFC SOUTH

HOUSTON TEXANS: F

They didn't even have a pick in the first two rounds. Enough said. Moving on.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: F

Quenton Nelson was one of, if not the highest rated prospect coming into the draft. Unfortunately he got taken by the Colts, who will no doubt, ruin his career. Sorry Quenton. FTC.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: F

Their first rounder was a DT, which is a position they have plenty of talent at. Worthless. They also took QB Tanner Lee (lol). Sucks to be a Jags fan. At least our country will be better off when they move to London here in a few years.

TENNESSEE TITANS: A++

Trading up for Rashaan Evans and Harold Landry was a brilliant move. We virtually got 2 first rounders here. Our defense this year is going to be scary. RIP Bortles, Watson, and Luck (or whoever is backup is). We also beefed up our secondary and got a serviceable backup QB in Luke Falk.

AFC WEST

DENVER BRONCOS: A

Bradley Chubb is an absolute beast and Sutton looks to be promising. As you all know, I love me a big, physical receiver. Also, Royce Freeman is a fantastic RB (as long as he stays healthy). Good job Denver, good job.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: B

The Chiefs went all defense this year, not a bad move. Speaks looks to be the real deal and will fill the void left by Dontari Poe. They probably should have picked up a big bodied WR though.

L.A. CHARGERS: C+

Good first round pick in Derwin James. The tall safety is probably an instant starter for them. Other than that the rest of their picks were pretty average.

OAKLAND (VEGAS) RAIDERS: C

This was a pretty typical Jon Gruden draft. Stack up on the OL and DL. The game is won in the trenches right? Speaking of trenches, it's kind of funny we call line play in football trenches. As if it were as brutal as WWI trenches. And the Raiders took a punter. Nice.

NFC WEST

ARIZONA CARDINALS: A

This grade is subject to change based on how Rosen turns out. I like the guy though, so for now, it's an A. Christian Kirk looks like he will be a day 1 starter at WR.

L.A. RAMS: B

They boosted their OL and got a few decent late round guys. Neat job Rams.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: B

John Lynch has done pretty good so far as GM. However, the 9ers have a lot of holes to fill and they weren't going to be able to do it all this draft. They got a great OT in McGlinchey and some decent late round guys.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: B

Penny has a lot of potential, maybe a bit of a stretch round 1. But, good pickup nonetheless. The Hawks also got the one handed Shaquem Griffin. So that's nice. I hope he succeeds up in the rainy city.

OTHER RANDOM TEAMS

BALTIMORE RAVENS: B+

Hayden Hurst is an awesome, athletic TE. He will be fun to watch with Flacco. I also like the move trading up for Lamar Jackson. I'm not sure how they're going to use him, but it will be exciting regardless.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: F

Did it really matter who they took? It could have been a sandwich artist from Subway and Belichick would have turned him into a Super Bowl Champion. Moving on.

GREEN BAY PACKERS: A

The Packers filled their defensive needs and picked up a receiver. I like the looks of Jaire Alexander at CB and the Packers added a lot of depth with their many late round picks.

MIAMI DOLPHINS: B

I love the Fitzpatrick pick. He should be a day 1 starter. Unfortunately the Dolphins didn't do anything to replace Suh. They also got a kicker in round 7, so good on them.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS: B+

Congrats Trey Quinn. Mr. Irrelevant is now relevant thanks to being irrelevant. Also DT Da'ron Payne is really really good.



I can't wait to watch all these rookies in preseason and then forget most of them once regular season rolls around.
