Arizona Cardinals (Last Year: 8-9) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 16. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss – A- Grade Walter Nolen was projected by many to go No. 11. I saw some even have him as high as No. 8. Nolen is one of the most talented players in this class. He has insane upside, but…

Atlanta Falcons (Last Year: 8-9) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 15. Jalon Walker, DE/OLB, Georgia – A+ Grade The Falcons were deciding between Mykel Williams, James Pearce, and Shemar Stewart all day. Never in a million years did they imagine that Jalon Walker was available. This is incredible value and fills a need. Like the Tyler…

Baltimore Ravens (Last Year: 12-5) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 27. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia – A+ Grade Once again, the Ravens land a talented player who inexplicably falls to them. What a surprise. Malaki Starks easily could have gone in the teens, so he’s an outstanding pick. Not only does he provide great value; he…

Buffalo Bills (Last Year: 13-4) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 30. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky – A- Grade I was hoping for a pass rusher here, given that the Bills likely saw what the Eagles did to their arch-nemesis Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Still, Maxwell Hairston is a very good pick. He’s a stellar cornerback…

Carolina Panthers (Last Year: 5-12) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 8. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa…

Chicago Bears (Last Year: 5-12) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 10. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan – D Grade Uhh… did the Bears know that Tyler Warren was available? Why would they draft the second-best player at the position when the best one was there for the taking? This pick provides poor value and doesn’t fill a…

Cincinnati Bengals (Last Year: 9-8) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 17. Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M – D Grade The Bengals really wanted to trade down, but couldn’t do so. Instead, they made the same mistake they made in a recent draft. They selected Myles Murphy as a high-upside player with no production, and he busted….

Cleveland Browns (Last Year: 3-14) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan – A Grade I’d probably give the Browns a “B” grade for Mason Graham in a vacuum. Some people in the NFL didn’t like his body type at all and even ranked Kenneth Grant ahead of him. He should still be…

Dallas Cowboys (Last Year: 7-10) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 12. Tyler Booker, G, Alabama – MILLEN Grade And we have our first Millen grade of the draft. The Cowboys had Tyler Warren and Jalon Walker fall into their laps. Matthew Golden was also there. Instead, the Cowboys drafted a guard expected to be drafted in…

Denver Broncos (Last Year: 10-7) NFL Draft Individual Grades: 20. Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas – A+ Grade This isn’t one of Denver’s biggest needs, but it was a need. We saw a lack of cornerback depth during the Monday night shootout against Jameis Winston. The running backs were widely projected, but running backs can be…
