Bengals: A
Appears to be another solid effort by underrated Cincinnati personnel chief Duke Tobin, who scouts say might have landed long-term starters with each of his first four picks. Top choice William Jackson leads the group.
Jaguars: A
The draft finally seemed to break right for Jacksonville — and in a huge way. The Jaguars still can’t believe their luck in getting arguably the draft’s two best defenders in Jalen Ramsey and UCLA’s Myles Jack, though Jack’s knee is a red flag.
Vikings: A
Both of the first two picks look like home runs in stud Ole Miss wideout Laquon Treadwell and promising Clemson man-coverage corner Mackensie Alexander. Minnesota definitely is on the rise.
Chargers: A-minus
Their stealth pursuit of Ohio State’s Joey Bosa, which sent shock waves through the rest of the first round, looks terrific on paper. San Diego also got the best tight end in the draft in Arkansas’ Hunter Henry.
Colts: A-minus
Some recent high-profile draft mistakes and no blocking for Andrew Luck finally caused GM Ryan Grigson to see the light, and the result looks promising in Alabama center Ryan Kelly and Texas Tech tackle Le’Raven Clark.
Packers: B-plus
GM Ted Thompson got first-round value midway through the second round in Indiana offensive tackle Jason Spriggs, and first-rounder Kenny Clark of UCLA should help alleviate defensive tackle B.J. Raji’s retirement.
Redskins: B-plus
In Scot McCloughan, Washington trusts. The Redskins GM has a pristine track record in the draft and used four trades to address several needs. No. 1 pick Josh Doctson looks boom or bust, though.
Steelers: B-plus
It wasn’t tough to figure out what Pittsburgh had identified as its biggest need when the Steelers used their first two picks on top-shelf corners Artie Burns and Sean Davis. Temple tackling machine Tyler Matakevich looks like a late steal.
Dolphins: B-plus
A fateful bong video might have made life hell for Laremy Tunsil, but it seems to have made Mike Tannenbaum’s first draft in Miami a big winner. The Dolphins get the player projected No. 1 overall not too long ago at No. 13 instead.
Bears: B
Threw everyone — but especially the Giants — a curveball by swooping into the top 10 to take Georgia outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, who needs to add some bulk before making a big impact. Used three of their nine picks on safeties.
Cardinals: B
Arizona got a top-five talent at No. 29 in Ole Miss defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, but he was arguably the biggest character red flag in the draft. If he can stay clean, Nkemdiche and Missouri center Evan Boehm are a nice class.
Jets: B
Addressed their need at linebacker in a big (and impressive) way with Darron Lee and Jordan Jenkins, two excellent newcomers, but second-round pick Christian Hackenberg is as divisive of a quarterback prospect as you ever will see.
Saints: B
Businesslike, no-frills effort by GM Mickey Loomis, who got a potential anchor in defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and might have found their new Marques Colston in second-rounder Michael Thomas.
Bills: B
Rex Ryan loves Clemson players, so (mildly overrated) defensive end Shaq Lawson was no surprise. Buffalo also benefited from unexpected slides by Alabama linebacker Reggie Ragland and Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones.
Broncos: B
John Elway savvily avoided overpaying for Peyton Manning’s replacement by trading up for Memphis’ Paxton Lynch. They also added depth on defense, but Lynch ultimately will decide how this draft pans out.
Seahawks: B
GM John Schneider loaded up through trades and ended up with 10 picks, and the top two — Texas A&M offensive tackle Germain Ifedi and Alabama nose tackle Jarran Reed — look likely to contribute right away.
Texans: B-minus
Houston was so embarrassed by its shutout playoff loss and so desperate to give Brock Osweiler some weapons that three of the first four picks were used on receivers and running backs. Top choice Will Fuller can fly.
Ravens: B-minus
You never know how these things turn out, but Baltimore could have had Laremy Tunsil and Myles Jack if not for a surprising amount of risk aversion from Ozzie Newsome. Memories of the Ray Rice PR debacle still must be too fresh.
Lions: B-minus
How desperate was new GM Bob Quinn to revive the league’s worst rushing attack? Three of the Lions’ first five picks were used on offensive linemen, including two guards. Top pick Taylor Decker looks like a keeper.
Raiders: C-plus
Top pick Karl Joseph was the best safety available but is undersized and an injury concern. And the decision to trade and take quarterback Connor Cook in the fourth round was puzzling with Derek Carr firmly entrenched.
Eagles: C-plus
GM Howie Roseman’s first draft back will be judged solely on top pick Carson Wentz after mortgaging the future for the North Dakota State product. Wentz has the tools but, at least in this corner, doesn’t look like a franchise quarterback.
49ers: C-plus
A Chip Kelly-coached team went for an Oregon player — big shock — with its top pick, though DeForest Buckner looks like a rare Duck defender with staying power. But they traded up for a guard, then loaded up on injury and character concerns.
Buccaneers: C-plus
Tampa Bay traded up for a kicker in the second round (Roberto Aguayo), arguably the most puzzling move of any draft. But fellow second-rounder Noah Spence could be a huge steal if he can stay clean.
Patriots: C-plus
No first-rounder due to Deflategate, but it was still an eventful draft. Cyrus Jones is a slot corner, making him a reach in the second, and Jacoby Brissett — no one’s idea of a top QB prospect — could be the backup if Tom Brady’s suspension holds.
Falcons: C-plus
No surprise Atlanta went heavy on defense early with three of their first four picks, but Florida safety Keanu Neal looks like a major reach at No. 17 overall. Maybe terrific LSU linebacker Deion Jones can make up for that.
Rams: C
Jeff Fisher pushed all his cards to the middle of the table with the seemingly dubious (and costly) megatrade to get Cal’s Jared Goff, whose 14-23 record is the worst of any quarterback taken No. 1 overall in the history of the draft.
Giants: C
Doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the home-run draft GM Jerry Reese needed. Caught flat-footed by the Bears moving up to steal Leonard Floyd, and scouts are divided about top pick Eli Apple. Sterling Shepard is a gem, though.
Cowboys: C
Jerry Jones rolled the dice big, passing up the best corner (Jalen Ramsey) for a running back (Ezekiel Elliott) and using a second-rounder on a medical redshirt in Notre Dame’s Jaylon Smith. Dallas also drafted a QB for the first time since 2009.
Browns: C-minus
The first test of Paul DePodesta’s “Moneyball” approach saw Cleveland trade down repeatedly and load up on picks (14 overall). But the choices were curious — especially USC quarterback Cody Kessler. And five wide receivers?
Chiefs: C-minus
Lots of picks (nine) after repeated trades, but almost all appear to have question marks or baggage. Top choice Chris Jones, a defensive tackle, fell to the second round because of concerns about consistent effort.
Panthers: C-minus
With general manager Dave Gettleman in obvious scramble mode, three of Carolina’s five picks in its first post-Josh Norman draft were cornerbacks. Maybe don’t let an All-Pro just walk next time?
Titans: D
New GM Jon Robinson traded down from No. 1 overall and stockpiled picks, but top choice Jack Conklin is similar to 2015 first-rounder Taylor Lewan, and Derrick Henry was redundant after the DeMarco Murray trade.
