2018 NFL Draft Grades: Full Results Listings and Final Team Marks

Paul KasabianApr 29, 2018

The incredible part about the NFL draft is no one really knows how things will turn out.

It's possible a few players picked Saturday, between Rounds 4 and 7, end up being superstars. 

Maybe Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta (now with the New York Giants) turns out to be the best signal-caller in this draft after Big Blue passed on one in the first round.

Maybe UCF linebacker Shaquem Griffin makes 31 other teams look ridiculous en route to helping form a new Legion of Boom for the Seattle Seahawks defense.

Who knows how things will transpire, but it will be fun to see how things go down in the next few years. Below you can find the full results for the draft, a grade for each team and further analysis for three AFC squads who received an A.

NFL Draft Tracker

A Grade

Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins.

B Grade

Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.

C Grade

Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers.

D Grade

New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders.

Denver Broncos

North Carolina State edge-rusher Bradley Chubb and SMU wide receiver Courtland Sutton somehow fell to the Denver Broncos in the first and second rounds, respectively. Chubb and Von Miller should form one of the most feared pass-rushing duos in the league, while Sutton should be a solid third receiver behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

The Broncos continued their impressive run throughout the draft. Oregon running back Royce Freeman should see carries immediately as part of a rotation with Devontae Booker after C.J. Anderson was released. Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell is a tough tackling machine (282 in the past three years), and Daesean Hamilton is a sure-handed receiver who will provide excellent depth for a deep Broncos pass-catching crew.

With Case Keenum calling signals, the Denver Broncos could return to the playoffs for the first time since their Super Bowl campaign three years ago.

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins can make the case that they made the best-value picks in Rounds 1 and 2. The first-round argument is easier to make than the second-round one (that winner is likely in the next section), but the Fins picked great players off the bat.

Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was projected to go within the first seven picks of the draft by many throughout the predraft process before mysteriously slipping as late April approached, fell to 11th overall to the Miami Dolphins.

The Fins grabbed an immediate starter who will significantly help a pass defense that ranked 29th in efficiency last season, per Football Outsiders. The Dolphins could also use another playmaker on that side of the ball, especially with Ndamukong Suh now with the Los Angeles Rams.

Miami also picked up another instant contributor in Mike Gesicki, a tight end out of Penn State who was one the best pass-catchers at his position on the Division I level. He should be the starter after Julius Thomas was released in the offseason. Gesicki was a three-sport star in high school and caught 105 passes for 1,244 yards and 14 touchdowns in his last two years as a Nittany Lion.

Those two players could help the Dolphins vault back into the playoffs. The AFC East division title will be a tough task with the New England Patriots standing in the way, but a wild-card bid in what looks like a wide-open conference after the top two or three teams is possible.

Tennessee Titans

Although the Tennessee Titans only had four draft picks, they made the most of them. Linebacker Rashaan Evans and edge-rusher Harold Landry should be impact players who contribute to the defense right away. Landry, in particular, was a steal with the 41st overall pick in the draft, especially considering he was high on many pundits' boards (e.g., seventh for Josh Norris of Rotoworld and NBC Sports).

After picking up an aggressive safety in Dane Cruikshank in Round 5—Lance Zierlein of NFL Media noted the Arizona product is a "downhill thumper with an appetite to strike" and "never turns down a tackle opportunity"—the Titans got great value in Washington State signal-caller Luke Falk, who somehow fell to pick No. 199.

While Falk isn't about to usurp franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota, he's a great insurance policy in case Mariota gets hurt. Furthermore, the team could deal Falk for a higher draft pick in a few years, much like the New England Patriots did with Jimmy Garoppolo last year.

The Titans did a lot with a little and look set for a postseason run thanks to their draft and solid free-agency moves.
