[ymakerpi8d]

If you are reading this, you know I like to pick things apart. Drafts, situational coaching and players -- you name it. But somehow, as I did the grades for this year's NFL Draft, I had to stop for a second because I think many teams did a good job handling their board. I didn't give out one "F" this year. I handed out five "A" grades. What is wrong with me? Call me Mr. Softy. More NFL Draft The five teams that earned "A" grades in my mind were the , , , and -- surprise, surprise -- the . As chic as it has become to rip the Browns, there is no denying they did a great job with their draft. They had a lot of picks and made the most of those picks, with the only knock being a first-round move down to land safety/hybrid player Jabrill Peppers. That was a reach, but they did a nice job the rest of the way. They ended up with three first-round picks, landing Texas A&M pa s rusher with the first overall pick, Peppers with the 25th pick and Miami tight end David Njoku with the 29th pick. They moved up to get both Peppers and Njoku thanks to extra draft picks they acquired in recent years. If second-round quarterback is a hit -- and he is talented Treveon Graham Jersey -- the Browns will look back on this draft as the one that turned around the franchise. That's how good their draft was this year. Maybe all those analytics work after all. Or maybe they finally got somebody who can simply put on the tape and find good football players. Now here are the rest of the grades. Arizona Cardinals They landed a future star in first-round pick Haason Reddick. He will add speed and versatility to their defense. I love second-round pick , the safety from . He will help offset the lo s of . Third-round pick Chad Williams, a receiver from Grambling, could be a steal where he was drafted, adding much-needed speed, and I love fourth-round pick . It was a really good draft. Grade: A Atlanta Falcons The wanted to get an edge rusher, and they got a good one in 's Takk McKinley in the first round, which was an outstanding pick. They came back and added a speed linebacker DeAndre' Bembry Jersey in 's in the second round and a much-needed guard in from , who should be the starting right guard. They got faster on defense, which is not a good thing for NFC South quarterbacks. Grade: B+ Baltimore Ravens Did they really need a corner in the first round? I know they stuck to their board by taking corner , but I thought they had bigger needs. They came back to make up for it by taking edge rusher in the second round and Michigan defensive tackle in the third. Fourth-round rusher could be a pa s-rush star -- if he can stay out of trouble. Grade: B- Buffalo Bills I think they made really good picks with their first two, trading down in the first before taking LSU corner Tre'Davious White, then landing receiver in the second. Their other second-round pick, , Steve Smith Jersey will probably be the starting right tackle. Fifth-round quarterback could end up being a potential starter down the road. Grade: B Carolina Panthers They were linked to running back in the first round, and it played out that way. I think it's too high to take him at No. 8, but he will help in a lot of ways. Second-round pick can do a lot of the same things, and will likely be their slot receiver. I love the pick of Texas A&M pa s rusher Daeshon Hall in the fourth. He will develop into a quality pa s rusher. Fifth-round corner Corn Elder will be a good nickel corner. Grade: B- Chicago Bears They made a strange move to give up so much to move up a spot to No. 2 overall and draft quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. They could have stayed in their third spot and landed him, but gave up too much to move up a spot. If he's a star, they will be laughing at all us. But why give that contract if this was what you planned to do? Second-round tight end Adam Shaheen from Ashland is a big, physical tight end. But this is all about Trubisky and that trade. Grade: D Cincinnati Bengals I thought the Bengals had as good draft as any team in the league. Taking receiver with the ninth pick is a bit of a risk, but you can't coach speed. They took a different type of risk with running back in the second round, but the kid is the best runner in the draft. They clearly looked past the a sault video to take him. They then landed two good pa s rushers in and 's , two players who will compete to start at right end. Fourth-round receiver from can fly. There are some risks here, but I think they will pay off big. Grade: A Cleveland Browns Damian Jones Jersey For all the criticism of the analytics crew in Cleveland, they had a heck of a draft. Aside from trading down to get Michigan's Jabrill Peppers in the first round, they added a lot of really good players. They had a lot of picks and did some good things. They got the top player in the draft in Myles Garrett with the first pick, and then continued to do a nice job. Tight end David Njoku was a nice add with their third first-round pick. This draft, though, will be defined by how well second-round quarterback DeShone Kizer develops. If he is their starter for a long time, this will be a great draft. Right now, it's a damn good one. Grade: A Dallas Cowboys They needed help up front, so taking Michigan defensive end makes sense, but I think there were better options at that point. I think they bounced back and got two good corners in the next two rounds in 's and Michigan's , which help a position of need. Taking in the fourth round could mean may Onyeka Okongwu Jersey be out next year when his contract is up. Grade: B- Denver Broncos They needed help up front on the offensive line and landed a solid left tackle in 's . He is older at 25, and he is raw, but he plays with a nasty streak. Second-round defensive lineman will be a nice addition up front. It's clear they want receiver help, taking two in the first five rounds, and I like third-round receiver Carlos Henderson. Grade: B Detroit Lions First-round pick is a nice three-down linebacker who will fill a major need, so that pick is solid. But this is a team that had major pa s-rush i sues last season, and they waited until the sixth round to take a defensive lineman. That's not wise in a division with . Second-round corner was a reach at that spot. I just didn't think it was a good haul for the . Grade: D Green Bay Packers Some general managers seem to always do it right in the draft, and Green Bay's Ted Thompson is one of those guys. He had another good draft, trading out of the first round and still landing a lot of good players. He took Washington corner in the second round, and he will be a big-time player. Second-round safety is a nice player who helps offset the lo s of . I love third-round defensive tackle . Fourth-round running back Jamaal Williams will be a 1,200-yard rusher in a season at some point in his career. Gra
