2026 NFL Draft Grades by Team: All 32 Teams
It's time to get angry at me — or send our draft grades to your friends to brag about your team's draft class. After evaluating the top-100 prospects in the draft before it started, here's how I think your favorite team did in this year's showcase.
Our 2026 NFL Draft Grades are listed in alphabetical order below.
In addition, we've added payout multipliers for each team's season win totals and to be the 2027 Super Bowl winner, via PrizePicks Team Picks. Payouts represent real-money earnings if you're right; a $100 entry on 2x would pay out $200. Lower multipliers = higher chance of the outcome happening, based on user picks. Payouts are live as of writing and are subject to change.
Arizona Cardinals Grade: C-
Getting a player as talented as Jeremiyah Love saved Arizona from getting a failing grade.
A bizarre weekend saw them add Love, a right guard — not tackle — in Chase Bisontis, and some sort of bridge and/or development option in the form of Miami (FL) QB Carson Beck.
DT Kaleb Proctor is a sleeper from FCS Southeastern Louisiana, but the Redbirds stayed off my board the rest of Day 3. I’m not sure they addressed the right positions despite adding a generational talent.

Atlanta Falcons Grade: B-
The Falcons had some gems… and some whiffs.
Avieon Terrell was a fringe first-rounder for most and reunites with his brother, A.J., in the Falcons’ secondary. Georgia WR Zachariah Branch is a springy target around the line of scrimmage to complement Drake London.
The Dirty Birds also scooped up my 73rd-ranked player in the fifth round, LSU LB Harold Perkins Jr.
Oklahoma LB Kendel Daniels felt like a reach, and Ohio State OT Ethan Onianwa is a definite project when the transfer couldn’t even crack the Buckeyes’ starting five.

Baltimore Ravens Grade: A
This was light work for Eric DeCosta – as usual.
In a predictable match, Baltimore addressed its interior offensive line with Penn State G Olaivavega Ioane on Thursday. I had a first-round grade on Missouri EDGE Zion Young, too.
While I might have had higher-ranked players on the board, USC WR Ja’Kobi Lane and Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt were two extremely productive college players.
Day 3 darts at Clemson RB Adam Randall, Duke CB Chandler Rivers, and Michigan DT Rayshaun Benny could prove fruitful, too. DeCosta is one of the best in the business for a reason.

Buffalo Bills Grade: B+
The Bills are in a miniature reboot, so trading back from the first round was a good move.
They still got a top-32 player on my board, Clemson EDGE T.J. Parker. I also had top-100 grades on Ohio State CB Davison Igbinosun, Boston College OT Jude Bowry, South Carolina S Jalen Kilgore, and Penn State DT Zane Durant.
Many like UConn’s Skyler Bell after 101 catches a year ago, and Texas A&M G Armaj Reed-Adams is a professional people-mover.
Buffalo added size and athleticism at so many different positions, as they desperately needed.

Carolina Panthers Grade: A-
This was a nice draft for the Panthers.
Georgia’s Monroe Freeling wasn’t my favorite tackle, but they secured one of the top guys before they were gone and went to work.
From there, they added three more top-100 players on my board: Texas Tech DT Lee Hunter, Kansas State C Sam Hecht, and Penn State S Zakee Wheatley.
I was lower on Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II than others, but if he’s the fifth-best player they snagged, it’s hard not to give an excellent grade.

Chicago Bears Grade: B-
I really thought the Bears got off to an excellent start, but after Oregon S Dillon Thieneman and Iowa C Logan Jones, things got a bit erratic.
LSU WR Zavion Thomas is a burner, but a third-round pick who got benched in one of the country’s most disappointing wide receiver rooms was crazy.
Another Day 2 pick went to a third-string tight end, Stanford’s Sam Roush.
Texas CB Malik Muhammad was good value in the fourth round, and a couple of their late Day 3 picks are freak athletes, but there’s very little to write home about in this class after a stellar first round.

Cincinnati Bengals Grade: A
Especially considering their first-round pick is Dexter Lawrence, the Bengals had one of the best drafts in the league.
Designated rusher Cashius Howell from Texas A&M gives them a “go get the quarterback” option when Boye Mafe and Shemar Stewart are good against the run.
Auburn C Connor Lew was my 78th-ranked player in Round 4, and Georgia WR Colbie Young – after an embattled college career – was my WR15 scooped up to close that same round.
Cincinnati shored up its defense and offensive line in the last two weeks, which has to be music to Joe Burrow’s ears.

Cleveland Browns Grade: A+
No team scooped up more top-100 players (8) off my board than the Cleveland Browns.
Cleveland’s empty wide receiving corps added Washington’s Denzel Boston and Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion in the first 40 picks.
With protecting Shedeur Sanders front of mind, investments in Utah OT Spencer Fano, Florida OT Austin Barber, and Alabama C Parker Brailsford add depth to their rebuilt offensive line.
Even sneaky value propositions like Cincinnati TE Joe Royer and Arkansas QB Taylen Green on Day 3 were guys I liked more than consensus.
If Sanders, Green, or Deshaun Watson could just play at an average level, the Browns are going to be a tough out.

Dallas Cowboys Grade: C+
Don’t get me wrong; I loved Caleb Downs at No. 11, and it didn’t require a grand trade.
However, from there, I’d have gone in a much different direction at EDGE. UCF’s Malachi Lawrence felt like a massive reach, and Michigan’s Jaishawn Barham is undersized for a third-rounder.
Dallas’ marquee need was cornerback, and even with Florida’s Devin Moore in my top 100, I don’t think they addressed the position in a deep class.
Alabama EDGE LT Overton was fine value on Day 3, but I hoped for a better effort from the Cowboys.

Denver Broncos Grade: B
I vibe with the way the Broncos addressed needs we knew they had.
Texas A&M DT Tyler Onyedim is a compact disruptor who will help an interior that quietly struggled around an otherwise phenomenal defense.
After the RJ Harvey disappointment a year ago, Washington RB Jonah Coleman gives them another high-upside name in the room. It’s also possible that NC State TE Justin Joly is the athletic “joker” that Sean Payton has sought for years.
Boise State G Kage Casey is also one of the most technical run blockers in the entire guard class. Denver did really well with limited resources – and Jaylen Waddle will make a bigger difference than the two picks he cost them, too.

Detroit Lions Grade: D+
Time for my yearly scuffle with Brad Holmes.
Can I argue the Lions’ poor drafting might have finally caught up to them a little last year? In my opinion, it continued this year.
I thought Blake Miller was the weakest first-round tackle, but they did address that key need. Michigan EDGE Derrick Moore is also an ideal running mate for Aidan Hutchinson.
However, the rest of the draft feels pretty disastrous. I only had Arizona State CB Keith Abney II ranked in the top 15 of any player’s respective position, and he’s an undersized nickel that probably shouldn’t be on the field together with Amik Robertson.
The “plus” here is for Moore. You can have the rest of it.

Green Bay Packers Grade: B+
If you scoop up my top sleeper in the draft, that’s an amazing start.
That was Penn State EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton, who came off the board all the way in Round 4. This was after they got excellent value in South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse to start the draft.
Missouri DT Chris McClellan is a fun bull rusher who is just starting to put the pieces together, as well.
I had Kentucky’s Jager Burton as a top-10 center in the class, and don’t sleep on Florida K Trey Smack shoring up a position that ultimately cost the Packers a playoff win.

Houston Texans Grade: B
Nick Caserio’s drafts are always an adventure, and this was no different. Houston moved in some way for seven of their eight picks.
It was also an adventure in terms of results. By my board, Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald and USC S Kamari Ramsey were steals.
Conversely, Michigan TE Marlin Klein and Oklahoma C Febechi Nwaiwu were reaches. Though I really liked Clemson LB Wade Woodaz as a deep cut, it was pretty stunning to see him go in Round 4.
There’s no doubt the best defense in the NFL got better with the two best picks of their class.

Indianapolis Colts Grade: A
Cleveland got more top-100 players, but this was the one draft that got a “thumbs up” on every pick.
The Colts’ first-rounder was Sauce Gardner, but they added two stud members to their back seven with Georgia LB CJ Allen and LSU S A.J. Haulcy.
I thought they used Day 3 masterfully, though. Reliable, older depth options like Kentucky G Jager Burton, Oregon LB Bryce Boettcher, and Kentucky RB Seth McGowan will help their win-now directive, but athletic projects like Florida EDGE George Gumbs Jr. and Oklahoma WR Deion Burks were worth the gamble for where they were acquired.
Chris Ballard nailed a “must-nail” draft.

Jacksonville Jaguars Grade: D-
The only way I’d fail a team is if every pick was a disaster. Oregon G Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 88 saved their bacon.
I mused if they selected Pregnon when James Gladstone was in the restroom. It was a bizarre draft for the young, contrarian GM.
He took a blocking tight end, Texas A&M’s Nate Boerkircher, with their first pick. From there, undersized Texas A&M DT Albert Regis and an athletically limited safety, Maryland’s Jalen Huskey, closed out Day 2.
Houston TE Tanner Koziol was fine where they got him, but this was a second tight end for a team that badly needed EDGE, defensive tackle, and linebacker depth.
It felt like Gladstone was trying to outsmart everyone in the league. It certainly doesn’t look that way right now.

Kansas City Chiefs Grade: B-
“Mixed” is a good way to describe my feelings here.
I felt the Chiefs’ biggest need was right tackle, and they took a massive dent to the chances to fill that by trading up for LSU CB Mansoor Delane.
Like Clemson DT Peter Woods in the same round, I like the players. I had them both in the top 15. But, this is a team in a title window for the rest of Patrick Mahomes’ prime – not a rebuilder.
Oklahoma EDGE R Mason Thomas, Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson, and LSU QB Garrett Nussemeier were good values where they were drafted, and I’m not surprised. I usually grade Brett Veach well.
I was just hoping for more out of three top-40 picks.

Las Vegas Raiders: B
This draft is getting plenty of media buzz. I thought it was good – not special.
There’s an argument to be had whether Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza was worth the war chest of picks they could have had for him, but taking the draft’s only franchise quarterback is fine.
Some value Arizona S Treydan Stukes, Auburn EDGE Keyron Crawford, and Texas A&M C Trey Zuhn III higher than I do, but no picks were poor. They came out of the gate hot on Day 3 with Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy and Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr., too.
This could have been an “A”, but I thought their final three rounds were pretty bland.

Los Angeles Chargers Grade: C+
Predictably, four of the Chargers’ eight picks were offensive linemen.
Florida C Jake Slaughter and Memphis OT Travis Burke, a mammoth of a man, have real potential. I had an undraftable grade on Oregon G Alex Harkey, though.
Miami (FL) EDGE Akheem Mesidor was an injection of life into their pass rush on Day 1, too.
I didn’t particularly care for using an early fourth on Mississippi State WR Brenan Thompson, who is just a burner with inconsistent production at the team’s best position. I’d have liked to see a bit more value hunting on the defensive side with that pick.

Los Angeles Rams Grade: F
Ty Simpson was the only first-round pick that wasn’t even in my top 100, and he doesn’t help the Super Bowl contenders right now. So, that’s gonna sting out of the gate.
Les Snead followed that up with a fourth-string tight end, Missouri OT Keagan Trost’s undraftable grade, and oft-injured Miami (FL) WR CJ Daniels.
I thought they got a tiny bit of value in Alabama DT Tim Keenan III in the seventh round, but the ship had sailed at that point.
Los Angeles might want to get back to trading picks away.

Miami Dolphins Grade: B+
Miami ended up making 13 picks in a total rebuild, and they used many of them wisely.
I love setting the tone with Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor in Round 1. The trade-up for San Diego State CB Chris Johnson was a bit rich for me, but get your guy.
Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez was the belle of the ball on Day 2, and they landed him. They also added Pittsburgh LB Kyle Louis on Day 3, which is funny when both stood out at the Senior Bowl.
For as much as I hated the pick of Texas Tech’s Caleb Douglas at wide receiver, they stole Louisville’s Chris Bell afterward. I’ll mentally flip the order of those picks.
Texas alums Michael Taaffe (S) and DJ Campbell (G) were two more interesting picks on Saturday.
I liked the direction of this weekend for the new Dolphins regime.

Minnesota Vikings Grade: C-
Some were really harsh on the Caleb Banks selection at No. 18, but Banks is an athletic freak that has top-10 talent if his foot injuries don’t disrupt his career.
Minnesota burst out of the gate with Banks, Cincinnati LB Jake Golday, and Iowa State DT Domonique “Big Citrus” Orange. Those were three top-65 players on my board.
It’s the rest of the draft that’s “meh”. Northwestern OT Caleb Tiernan might be a guard after a whole career at left tackle. Wake Forest RB Demond Claiborne is fast but has vision issues.
Taking Miami S Jakobe Thomas over his positional teammate, Keionte Scott, makes me question the entire scouting department, which isn’t exactly flush with confidence two years after the J.J. McCarthy pick.

New England Patriots Grade: C+
I have such a strong affinity for where the Patriots got Utah OT Caleb Lomu and Illinois EDGE Gabe Jacas that I bumped them to a C+.
New England also stole developmental OT Dametrious Crownover – a 6’7” behemoth with tremendous length – out of Texas A&M in the sixth round. That’s a pair of long, tall bookends after suffering through Will Campbell in the Super Bowl.
I’m just flatly not a fan of the rest of the draft. Notre Dame TE Eli Raridon felt like a reach compared to others at the position, and I legitimately didn’t grade Wake Forest CB Karon Prunty.
Alabama RB Jam Miller and Texas Tech QB Behren Morton also battled inconsistencies and injuries throughout their collegiate careers.
A strong start tailed off here.

New Orleans Saints Grade: C
There’s a chance the Saints draft doesn’t look good with hindsight, but I respect the swings.
Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson is a gem – if he can stay healthy. That’s a huge “if”.
Georgia DT Christen Miller was in the 70s on my board, and I wasn’t an Oscar Delp guy, either.
Auburn G Jeremiah Wright is a massive human being who moves the line of scrimmage in the run game, and Ohio State S Lorenzo Styles Jr. is worth the bet on his brother’s DNA – especially when the safety ran a 4.27-second 40-yard dash in February.
I don’t think this is the deepest team in the league, but they traded draft capital for Devaughn Vele and Ja’Lynn Polk just to take three receivers. Enough might be enough.

New York Giants Grade: B-
Independent of their roster, the players acquired here are solid.
Arvell Reese is an EDGE they’re planning to play at middle linebacker. Francis Mauigoa is an offensive tackle they’ll play at right guard. Huh?
Regardless, Big Blue got good value in Tennessee CB Colton Hood to start Day 2, too.
They needed a receiver, and while Notre Dame’s Malachi Fields wouldn’t have been my choice, other teams made far worse ones.
Illinois OT J.C. Davis and BYU LB Jack Kelly were also a couple of head nods I made on Day 3.

New York Jets Grade: B+
This was a nice weekend to be a Jets fan. It’s been a while.
I think they made the right choice with David Bailey at No. 2, and Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq and Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. are two more dynamic playmakers next to Garrett Wilson.
Indiana CB D’Angelo Ponds was one of my fallers before the draft, but I think Aaron Glenn fell in love with his own archetype, and Ponds has proved doubters like me wrong before.
New York stamped this extremely well with a pair of my top-100 players on Day 3. They nabbed Florida State DT Darrell Jackson Jr. and Kansas State S VJ Payne.
Cade Klubnik is an interesting reclamation project at quarterback, too.

Philadelphia Eagles Grade: B-
Howie Roseman’s maneuver for USC WR Makai Lemon was genius with A.J. Brown leaving. He fits well with DeVonta Smith, too.
Similarly, I had a first-round grade on Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers. I just lost enthusiasm for this class after those two.
Miami OT Markel Bell is a project, even with a resemblance to Jordan Mailata in terms of size and strength. North Dakota State QB Cole Payton also feels unnecessary, given that a quality, young backup, Tanner McKee, is already entrenched.
I will say, my third-favorite pick of the group was athletic Georgia G Micah Morris, who I think could be a starter in the league.

Pittsburgh Steelers Grade: B
The first two days of the draft are most important, so I’ll forgive the Steelers for wasting Day 3 without a single selection that made me excited. The team crushed Rounds 1, 2, and 3.
Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor is a special mover who ranks among my favorite first-round tackles. Alabama WR Germie Bernard is a high-floor, team-first contributor. Georgia CB Daylen Everette and Iowa G Gennings Dunker were two of my highest-ranked players compared to consensus boards.
Penn State QB Drew Allar will leave a poor taste in some mouths, but Allar’s immense arm talent is worth a shot in the late third.

San Francisco 49ers Grade: C-
San Francisco’s master plan trading out of Round 1 was…Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling? The guy who caught just 55 balls a year ago?
He’s the space-eater they covet at wideout, but No. 33 felt rich. That only started the seesaw of value picks.
I really liked Texas Tech EDGE Romello Height – especially for a team that was last in sacks per game (1.2). He’s instant pass rush. Oklahoma DT Gracen Halton also penetrates the backfield at his best.
Then, we got more weird – but typical for John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan – stuff. Indiana RB Kaelon Black wasn’t invited to the combine but was a third-round pick. I didn’t think undersized Washington OT Carver Willis would get drafted, and he went in Round 4.
Trading Dee Winters for a fifth-round pick was a weird move during the draft, too.

Seattle Seahawks Grade: B-
John Schneider is one of my favorites, but I think he had a down year at a familiar blind spot.
The team didn’t get a return on investment from tailbacks like Rashaad Penny, Kenneth Walker III, and Zach Charbonnet. Here’s another in Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price, who is a fine player but seems destined for a rotation. You’d hope for “special” at No. 32.
As usual, Seattle crushed the middle rounds, though. TCU S Bud Clark, Arkansas CB Julian Neal, and Iowa G Beau Stephens were all top-75 guys on my board. Neal is the lanky, fast corner they always seem to find.
I actually didn’t have a draftable grade on any pick behind Stephens, but the late rounds typically aren’t where Schneider shines.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Grade: A+
Jason Licht is slept on as a general manager, and he had a heck of a weekend as many of his peers struggled.
With an urgent need at EDGE, Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. falling right into their lap at No. 15 was a gift.
From there, they selected three straight top-80 players on my board: Missouri LB Josiah Trotter, Georgia State WR Ted Hurst Jr., and Miami (FL) S Keionte Scott, who was perhaps the steal of the entire draft.
I also thought Notre Dame G Billy Schrauth and Clemson DT DeMonte Capehart were appropriate values on Day 3. This was my favorite draft in the NFC.

Tennessee Titans Grade: B+
You know this was a good draft when my qualm with it was a slight reach at No. 4.
I just don’t know if Ohio State WR Carnell Tate is the dynamic option to command that pick, but it was an immense need for the Titans.
From there, Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk, Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr., and Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton were steals as top-85 players on my board.
Though he didn’t crack my top 100, I also love the quick feet of Arkansas G Fernando Carmona Jr.
If they had just opted for an additional player I ranked higher within their final three selections, they’d have gotten an A-.

Washington Commanders Grade: C+
I’d have never guessed I’d have given the Commanders this grade when they stole Sonny Styles at No. 7, but I was underwhelmed by the rest of the draft.
Clemson WR Antonio Williams is smaller and battled injuries in college when other options were on the board. Tennessee EDGE Joshua Josephs is a big, physical guy, but his bend isn’t ideal.
My second-favorite pick was easily Penn State RB Kaytron Allen, who should immediately unseat Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the team’s early-down role.
Rutgers QB Athan Kaliakmanis was a wild pick with a roster full of needs. Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota are both pretty secure and under contract.
Above all, I thought Washington needed to acquire more picks, and they didn’t move anywhere on the board this weekend.
