Doing power rankings like this is tough because I liked something about almost every draft class. I don’t think we had a team this year that completely bombed the draft. But I gave it my best shot to rank my favorite classes from 1 to 32.



The two most important criteria: quality of talent and value of where the player was taken. Teams with more draft picks had an obvious advantage, but value is still imperative. Also important: I did not include future draft picks acquired or active players who were involved in draft trades to rank these draft hauls. For example, Stefon Diggs didn’t factor into the Buffalo Bills’ spot on this list or DeAndre Hopkins with the Cardinals’ ranking.



I’ll be the first to admit that doing immediate draft grades are premature. But it is interesting to look back at these power rankings in a year or two to see how the instant reactions held up. (Here are my rankings from 2019.)
