NFL Draft Tracker 2012: Final Grades for Each Team

Now that the draft is finally done, I've updated the entire group of grades for every team including all trades for every team and a final grade at the top of the slide. Some grades may seem a bit generous but this is my honest opinion on the picks.

A good bit of players selected this year have no right to be in the NFL and I have no idea how they were selected and a good bit of players went three rounds later than I thought they would.

Arizona Cardinals: A-

Round 1, Pick 13: WR Michael Floyd

While this may not say that the Cardinals had a lot of confidence in Early Doucet and Andre Roberts, it's a great value pick and will add to the Cardinals offense. This will allow Kevin Kolb to have two of the biggest, fastest, best-catching wide receivers in the NFL.

Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald will remind a lot of people of the situation when Jerry Rice was mentoring the also-legendary Terrell Owens

Grade: B+

Round 3, Pick 17: CB Jamell Fleming

The Cardinals need someone who can compete to start at corner and Fleming is one of the most underrated corners in the draft.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 17: OT Bobby Massie

The Cardinals needed a huge right tackle to help out their offense. Massie is someone who can compete to start right away.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 16: OL Senio Kelemete

Kelemete is another Day 2 value taken on Day 3. Great fit for that offensive line.

Grade: A+

Round 6, Pick 7: CB/S Justin Bethel

Bethel is a guy who can contribute to depth at corner and safety and is an excellent special teamer.

Grade: B+

Round 6, Pick 15: QB Ryan Lindley

The Cardinals need some depth at the QB spot and Lindley is a guy who won't start out as the No. 2 right away, but will be a good backup.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 14: OT Nate Potter

One of the top pass blockers from the draft, Potter needs some refinement, but has starting potential.

Grade: A+

Atlanta Falcons: B+

Round 2, Pick 23: OG Peter Konz

Peter Konz is a beast on the offensive line.

He's a 6'5", 314-pound guard or center and should start right away at the right guard position. Peter Konz is a huge steal here for the Falcons and will only help the offense get better with more protection.

Grade: A+

Atlanta trades third-round pick (No. 84 overall) to Baltimore for third-round pick (No. 91 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 164 overall)

Atlanta had players they were targeting, but felt they could move down and still get them so they picked up a fifth rounder here.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 28: OT Lamar Holmes

Holmes is a quick player at the tackle position, but you have to believe that the Falcons could have gotten better value with a guy like Bobby Massie.

Grade: C

Round 5, Pick 22: FB/H-back Bradie Ewing

This pick means the end of Ovie Mughelli in Atlanta and is a solid pick to bring in that all-around H-back-style fullback.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 29: DE Jonathan Massaquoi

The Falcons get a true edge rusher here and get solid value. Massaquoi is a good pressure player.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 22: S Charles Mitchell

While this pick isn't a great value, it's when teams take their favorites. Atlanta gets good depth at safety and a special-teams talent here.

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 42: DT Travian Robinson

Robinson is someone who will help contribute to the defensive tackle rotation.

Grade: A

Baltimore Ravens: B+

Baltimore trades their first-round pick (No. 29 overall) to Minnesota for their second-round pick (No. 35 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 98 overall)

Baltimore has an idea of who they want and they could definitely take that same player six picks later. They pick up a fourth-round pick in a draft deep with guys who could eventually replace Jarrett Johnson. 

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 3: OLB Courtney Upshaw

Upshaw is a mid-first round grade and is arguably one of the top players at his position of 3-4 OLB. Upshaw has an attitude very similar to Ray Lewis' and will be that leader when Lewis leaves. Upshaw will set the edge and play the same scheme he was playing in college.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 28: OG Kelechi Osemele

Osemele is a great fit for the Ravens offensive line scheme as the guard to take over at left guard. Osemele will start right away and should give them a true power player at the left guard spot.

Grade: A+

Baltimore trades third-round pick (No. 91 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 164 overall) to Atlanta for third-round pick (No. 84 overall)

Baltimore trades up to get their guy here and only has to give up a fifth rounder. This trade is a win-win for both teams.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 21: RB Bernard Pierce

Great value here as Pierce can be the pounder that Ricky Williams was for the Ravens in the running game.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 3: OG/C Gino Gradkowski

Gradkowski is a solid player, but he isn't a good value here and they just took Osemele. This is a head scratcher here.

Grade: D-

Round 4, Pick 35: S Christian Thompson

Solid value here for someone who can provide depth for the Ravens at safety.

Grade: B

Round 5, Pick 34: CB Asa Jackson

The Ravens needed some depth at corner behind Lardarius Webb, and Jackson has the natural talent to start.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 28: WR Tommy Streeter

Tommy Streeter is a steal here and will be someone who can compete for a starting spot once Boldin retires.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 29: DT DeAngelo Tyson

Tyson is a good fit for the Ravens scheme and is worth the pick here.

Grade: A

Buffalo Bills: A-

Round 1, Pick 10: CB Stephon Gilmore

They need a true No. 1 cornerback to team with Aaron Williams and Leodis McKelvin.

Gilmore is one of the top cover corners in the draft this year and was drafted in the right spot. Gilmore will only benefit from going to Buffalo with that absolutely monstrous defensive line.

By adding Gilmore and Williams this offseason, the Bills are showing they mean business on defense.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 9: OT Cordy Glenn

The Bills get amazing value here with Cordy Glenn. Glenn can play the left or the right tackle spots. He played left guard at Georgia, but has amazing quickness and should be able to slide right in at tackle. Cordy Glenn will start right away.

Grade: A+

Buffalo trades third-round pick (No. 72 overall) and seventh-round pick (No. 217 overall) to Washington for third-round pick (No. 69 overall)

This trade is fair value, moving three spots for just a seventh.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 6: WR T.J. Graham

The Bills make a huge reach here for need. They did need a slot receiver, but they could have taken a few guys who are just better here.

Grade: D

Round 4, Pick 10: LB Nigel Bradham

Bradham has third-round talent at linebacker and could end up in the competition for a starting spot at either outside spot.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 29: CB Ron Brooks

As an outside corner this would be a bad pick, but because they are looking at him for nickel packages, this is a good value and will help the Bills.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 9: OT Zebrie Sanders

Sanders is a career right tackle and could project later on to a starting left tackle. He will be a good fit on their line long term and is a second-round value.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 12: LB Tank Carder

This is a great value here. Carder is a guy who can play all three linebacker spots and allow the Bills versatility.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 8: OL Mark Asper

Asper is good depth at the interior of the offensive line and you can never have enough good offensive linemen.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 44: K John Potter

Might as well take a kicker.

Grade: A

Carolina Panthers: B+

Round 1, Pick 9: LB Luke Kuechly

The Panthers have one of the worst interior defenses in the NFL and Luke Kuechly is the guy to help take over at middle linebacker and turn that defense around.

He will allow Beason to make a move to weakside linebacker and really give the Panthers one of the best linebacker units in not just the NFC South, but the whole NFL.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 8: OG Amini Silatolu

Silatolu is a perfect fit for their offensive scheme and can slide right between Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil as a guy to help the Panthers push the pile and protect last year's No. 1-overall pick, QB Cam Newton.

Grade: A

Carolina trades Sixth round pick (No. 180 overall) and 2013 Third round pick to San Francisco for Fourth Round pick (No. 103 overall)

I just can't understand why a team would want to trade away a pick in a higher round the next year if there is a guy this year that isn't worth the trade. The Panthers defy logic here.

Grade: D

Round 4, Pick 8: DE Frank Alexander

Carolina takes one of the top pass rushers available. The Panthers needed someone to compete across from Johnson. Better pass rushers available than him though.

Grade: C+

Round 4, Pick 9: WR/KR/PR Joe Adams

Adams is a good slot man and a good fit for the returner that the Panthers need.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 8: CB Josh Norman

This is a great value here and is someone who could eventually allow the Panthers to move Captain Munnerlyn to nickel.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 37: P Brad Nortman

Nortman is a solid punter and should be able to compete for the starting spot.

Grade: B-

Round 7, Pick 9: S D.J. Campbell

Campbell is going to add depth to the Panthers defensive backfield and can play both safety and special teams well.

Grade: A

Chicago Bears: B-

Round 1, Pick 19: DE Shea McClellin

The Boise State grad is one of the top pass rushers in the draft this year and was always looked at as an impact player.

He should start as the left end in Chicago and will give Peppers a true compliment on the other side of the defense.

McClellin also allows them to run some 3-4 looks and could even play some games with Peppers on the same side. However, he was only an early second-round value.

Grade: B

Chicago trades second-round pick (No. 50 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 150 overall) to St. Louis for second-round pick (No. 45 overall)

Chicago trades up and gets a top wide receiver to pair with Marshall and only loses a fifth-round pick to do so. Fair value.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 13: WR Alshon Jeffery

The Bears get a possession-style wide receiver here who can compliment their already fast wide receivers. Jeffery could come right in as the No. 2 wide receiver and allow Jay Cutler a bigger target to join with Brandon Marshall as their starters, with Knox and Hester as crazy-fast slot receivers.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 16: S Brandon Hardin

While safety is a major need for the Bears, Hardin is not good value here at all and it's surprising they haven't looked at Iloka here.

Grade: C

Round 4, Pick 16: FB/TE Evan Rodriguez

Rodriguez is a bit of a reach here, but should be able to start at an H-back style role.

Grade: C

Round 6, Pick 14: CB Isaiah Frey

This is a bad value. They need a corner, but Frey is not ready to come in and contribute and could be cut in training camp.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 13:CB Greg McCoy

McCoy is a good pick for depth, but there are some better corners out there.

Grade: C

Cincinnati Bengals: A+

Round 1, Pick 17: CB Dre Kirkpatrick

He's one of the top players left in the draft and is a better fit for Mike Zimmer's defense than Stephon Gilmore would have been. Kirkpatrick will be an instant starter and should help the secondary out instantly. Kirkpatrick is a pro-ready corner who will give them a tougher secondary this year. He should be able to start on the left side with Leon Hall as his compliment on the right side.

Grade: A+

Cincinnati trades first-round pick (No. 21 overall) to New England for first-round pick (No. 27 overall) and third-round pick (No. 93 overall)

It's always smart to trade down and pick up a third-round pick if you think you can still get your guy.

Grade: A

Round 1, Pick 27: OG Kevin Zeitler

Zeitler is a great fit for the offense that the Bengals run and Zeitler should slide right in between Smith and Cook.

Zeitler is a true pounding offensive guard and should be able to add to the run blocking in Cincinnati, but his pass blocking will also help protect last year's second-round pick in Andy Dalton. With more time, Dalton to A.J. Green will be a scary combination in 2012.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 22: DT Devin Still

Devon Still is a great pick for the Bengals.

He will start at the 3-tech right away and help not just against the pass, but also against the run. He will compliment Domata Peko and Geno Atkins perfectly and should be able to push the pockets like the best of them.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 20: WR Mohamed Sanu

Sanu can compliment A.J. Green from the slot or opposite him.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 30: DT Brandon Thompson

Thompson is a second-round talent and will give the Bengals a nasty defensive tackle rotation.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 21: TE Orson Charles

Charles and the Bengals get the perfect scenario. He doesn't have to be the top TE and can be used as an H-back role.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 21: CB Shaun Prater

This is a fourth round value player in the fifth and someone who will add depth at corner. Good pick.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 31: WR Marvin Jones

Marvin Jones is a great fit for the Bengals offense. He can help them as an outside receiver, so they can use Sanu in the slot.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 32: S George Iloka

The Bengals get yet another great defensive pick here. Iloka can play either free safety or strong safety and is one of the better coverage players in the draft.

Grade: A+

Round 6, Pick 21: RB Dan Herron

Herron is a good, pounding running back who can help shoulder some of the load that Cedric Benson left.

Grade: A

Cleveland Browns: B-

Cleveland trades first-round pick (No. 4 overall), fourth-round pick (No. 118 overall), fifth-round pick (No. 139 overall), seventh-round pick (No. 211 overall) to Minnesota for first-round pick (No. 3 overall)

Four picks for one player is kind of crazy. Then again, that's how they got to have 13 picks to begin with. There is no way all 13 picks make the team in Cleveland and it's always good to bring in the guy you want.

Grade: B

Round 1, Pick 3: RB Trent Richardson

The Browns don’t have a legitimate running back and need a true long-term pounder. Richardson is arguably the best running back to enter the draft since Adrian Peterson in the 2007 draft.

Richardson is going to be the workhorse that will help Colt McCoy turn into at least a serviceable quarterback and can contribute in not just the running game, but also in the passing game.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 22: QB Brandon Weeden

The Browns took a quarterback here who will be a starter, but he's 28 years old. He's a good talent and a has a great arm, but there is a question as to whether he is more Chris Weinke than anything else.

Brandon Weeden is a mid-second round value who was selected in the first and doesn't deserve to go there. On the bright side, they finally have a starting caliber quarterback, but they need someone who can block.

Grade: C-

Round 2, Pick 5: OT Mitchell Schwartz

This is one of the top needs in Cleveland. They have needed someone who could play the right tackle since Joe Thomas asserted himself as the left tackle. Mitchell Schwartz isn't the best value-pick right here, but he is the best fit for the Browns offense.

Grade: B-

Cleveland trades third-round pick (No. 67 overall) to Denver for third-round pick (No. 87 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 120 overall)

Cleveland picks up another fourth-round pick to move down 20 spots. Great move here, as there is lot of value left.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 24: DT John Hughes

The Browns already have a pair of really solid defensive tackles and could have used a true defensive end here.

Grade: D

Round 4, Pick 5: WR Travis Benjamin

This is a need hit, but the value is terrible here. Benjamin was a fringe draft pick and is best as a pure return man.

Grade: D-

Round 4, Pick 25: LB James-Michael Johnson

Johnson is a good fit for both inside and outside linebacker and is a solid value here.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 25: OL Ryan Miller

This is a great fit for a player who could come in and compete for the starting right guard spot.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 34: LB Emmanuel Acho

Acho is a very good linebacker who can play the MLB, SLB or WLB spot and will be solid depth in Cleveland.

Grade: A+

Round 6, Pick 35: DL Billy Winn

Winn is a guy who can play defensive end in base packages and then DT in sub packages, allowing the Browns some great DL depth.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 38: CB Trevin Wade

Wade is a very good fit for Cleveland's defense and should compete for a roster spot.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 40: TE Brad Smelley

Smelley is someone who can win a job as a H-back style receiver for the Browns.

Grade: A

Dallas Cowboys: B+

Dallas trades first-round pick (No. 14 overall) and second-round pick (No. 45 overall) to St. Louis for first-round pick (No. 6 overall)

This is a steal of a trade to move up a full eight spots just to give up a second-round pick. Dallas and St. Louis should both be happy here.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 6: CB Morris Claiborne

Claiborne is arguably the best corner to come out since Joe Haden in 2009. He's a great coverage corner and should team with Brandon Carr who will only improve the awful unit from 2011.

Claiborne will give the Cowboys someone who should come in and take people's heads off from the corner spot and be an instant starter. Claiborne will only get better as time lapses.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 18: DE Tyrone Crawford

They get good value here, and they get someone who can compete for a starting spot on that defense at right end.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 18: LB Kyle Wilber

The Cowboys get solid value here in taking the Demon Deacon who can play either ILB or OLB.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 40: DB Matt Johnson

Matt Johnson isn't a draftable talent and the Cowboys reached a lot here.

Grade: F

Round 5, Pick 17: WR Danny Coale

Coale gives the Cowboys a very solid slot receiver to compliment Miles Austin and Dez Bryant.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 16: TE James Hanna

Hanna is an early fifth value and will provide a great compliment to Jason Witten at tight end.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 15: LB Caleb McSurdy

This is a great value pick and one that is good depth for the Cowboys.

Grade: A

Denver Broncos: B+

Denver trades first-round pick (No. 25 overall) to New England for first-round pick (No. 31 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 128 overall)

Denver trades down as they have no value in their eyes for who they want and will pick up another fourth to do so. Once the value is better they will make their pick.

Grade: A

Denver trades first-round pick (No. 31 overall) to Tampa Bay for second-round pick (No. 36 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 101 overall)

Denver trades down as they have no value in their eyes for who they want and will pick up another fourth to do so. Once the value is better they will make their pick.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 4: DT Derek Wolfe

Derek Wolfe is a good fit for the three technique in Denver.

He's going to get after the quarterback and is a good fit for the Broncos style of defense. Wolfe will help make sure that middle linebacker Joe Mays doesn't get as swamped by offensive linemen this year.

Grade: B-

Round 2, Pick 25: QB Brock Osweiler

This is a brilliant pick here.

Osweiler will go under an Aaron Rodgers-style situation. Osweiler would be a first rounder in next year's draft and will benefit greatly from being behind Peyton Manning for a year. Osweiler is the QB of the future for the Broncos.

Grade: A

Denver trades third-round pick (No. 87 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 120 overall) to Cleveland for third-round pick (No. 67 overall)

Denver makes a solid value trade up, but you have to hate losing a fourth to move up in the third.

Grade: C

Round 3, Pick 4: RB Ronnie Hillman

The Broncos did need a running back, but Hillman is a fourth-round talent and there is more talent left on the board that they passed up.

Grade: C

Round 4, Pick 6: CB Omar Bolden

They get someone who can learn from Champ Bailey for a year and who has starting potential.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 13: C Phillip Blake

Blake is a good fit for the blocking scheme and could compete for the starting spot with Walton.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 2: DE Malik Jackson

This is a great fit for their defense and he can play end in the base sets and tackle on pass-rush sets.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 18: LB Danny Tevathan

This is a great fit of need and value meeting up. Trevathan is good OLB depth.

Grade: A

Detroit Lions: B

Round 1, Pick 23: OT Riley Reiff

This is perfect value here for the Lions and Reiff will allow the Lions to protect Matt Stafford and allow him more time to throw to the dominant Calvin Johnson.

Riley Reiff is one of the top tackles in the draft and can run block better than any other player in the draft. He also will be able to take over for Jeff Backus earlier this year rather than later. He will likely start out as a right tackle and will slide to the left side after a year.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 22: WR Ryan Broyles

While the Lions did need someone to come in and compliment Madden cover-winner Calvin Johnson, Broyles has too many injury concerns to be taken this high. Broyles is a good fit as that next Wes Welker-type receiver, though.

Grade: C-

Round 3, Pick 22: CB Dwight Bentley

The Lions get one of the best corners in the draft and an amazing value here in the third. Bentley is a second-round value.

Grade: A+

Detroit trades Fourth round pick (No. 117 overall) to San Francisco for Fourth round pick (No. 125 overall) and Sixth round pick (No. 196 overall)

Detroit gets an extra pick in the draft to add some depth and still gets the guy they wanted in their original spot.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 30: LB Ronnell Lewis

This is a good pick of a guy who can play either DE or SLB. He could contribute early as a rotational pass rusher and has second-round value.

Grade: A+

Detroit trades Seventh round pick (No. 219 overall) and 2013 Fourth round pick to Minnesota for Fifth round pick (No. 138 overall) and Seventh round pick (No. 223 overall)

Detroit gets a player they needed here for depth and who has starting ability but they have to give up next year's fourth round pick to do so.

Grade: C

Round 5, Pick 3: OLB Tahir Whitehead

They just took a SLB so they get a WLB here, but Whitehead is just a reach here.

Grade: C

Detroit trades Seventh round pick (No. 230 overall) and Fifth round pick to Oakland for Fifth round pick (No. 148 overall)

Detroit trades up here for a player they really like and gives up a late 7th rounder.

Grade: B

Round 5, Pick 13: CB Chris Greenwood

Greenwood is a sub-par corner and shouldn't have been drafted.

Grade: D-

Round 6, Pick 26: CB Jonte Green

Green is another questionable talent to be drafted. He is depth and special teams at best.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 16: LB Travis Lewis

Lewis will be a good backup in Detroit, either at inside or outside linebacker.

Grade: A+

Green Bay Packers: A-

Round 1, Pick 28: OLB Nick Perry

This is a great fit for the Packers and a true steal.

Perry is a guy who I had in the top 10 of my personal board. Nick Perry is a great fit for the 3-4 defense that Dom Capers runs and will be great in the pincer movement defense.

Also, the Packers have a locker room that will embrace him and truly turn him into a top defender.

Grade: A+

Green Bay trades second-round pick (No. 59 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 123 overall) to Philadelphia for second-round pick (No. 51 overall)

The Packers trade up but get a first-round talent in Jerel Worthy. Great value on the trade.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 19: DT Jerel Worthy

The Packers trade up here to get a guy who is another fringe first-round talent.

Worthy can play in either the defensive end or defensive tackle spot and should provide a lot of push for them when they go to their four-lineman sets in their sub package.

Grade: A+

Green Bay trades third-round pick (No. 90 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 163 overall) to New England for second-round pick (No. 62 overall)

It's amazing how little New England got for Green Bay to move up 30 spots.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 30: CB Casey Hayward

Hayward is a great fit for the defense that the Patriots run and should be able to win battles very easily. However, he would be their third-best corner behind Tramon Williams and future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 37: DL Mike Daniels

Daniels is a better fit for the 4-3, but could contribute in sub packages for the Packers.

Grade: C

Round 4, Pick 38: S Jerron McMillian

McMillian is an athletic freak and should be able to contribute as depth on defense and on special teams early on.

Grade: C

Green Bay trades Sixth round pick (No. 197 overall), and pair of Seventh round picks (No. 224 and 235 overall) to New England for Fifth round pick (No. 163 overall)

The Packers trade up here to get a player who is slipping and a great fit for their defense. They only give up two sevenths to move up 34 spots.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 28: LB Terrell Manning

Manning is a good fit for the interior of the 3-4 and is a good value here.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 34: OT Andrew Datko

Datko is a tackle who can play both sides and provides good depth.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 36: QB B.J. Coleman

The Packers finally get their backup for Aaron Rodgers here.

Grade: A

Houston Texans: B

Round 1, Pick 26: OLB Whitney Mercilus

With Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed at outside linebacker, this pick is an intriguing one. However, it does make sense as you can never have enough pass rushers.

Mercilus is a great fit for the 3-4 defense, especially the outside linebacker role, and should compete for playing time instantly. This is a case of taking the best talent available.

Grade: B

Houston trades second-round pick (No. 58 overall) and seventh-round pick (No. 233 overall) to Tampa Bay for third-round pick (No. 68 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 126 overall)

Houston picks up a fourth and loses a seventh to move down 10 picks. Great trade.

Trade: A

Round 3, Pick 5: WR Devier Posey

Devier Posey is a need pick, but he's not the best value. There is much better value in guys like Chris Givens and Mohamed Sanu.

Grade: D

Round 3, Pick 13: OG Brandon Brooks

Brandon Brooks is a guy who can come in and play right guard right away for the Texans. Brooks is a beast and fits the zone scheme too.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 4: C Ben Jones

The Texans get a zone style center here in Ben Jones and he should be able to compete for a starting role at right guard starting out.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 26: WR Keshawn Martin

This is a good pick in terms of need spot, but Martin is not a fourth-round talent.

Grade: C

Round 4, Pick 31: DL Jared Crick

The Nebraska defensive tackle can slide to 3-4 defensive end and compete for a starting spot across from Watt. He has third-round value.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 26: K Randy Bullock

They don't currently have a kicker under contract and Bullock has a booming leg. Still don't like drafting kickers.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 25: OL Nick Mondek

Nick Mondek wasn't on many analysts radars and is a questionable talent here.

Grade: D

Indianapolis Colts: A+

Round 1, Pick 1: QB Andrew Luck

Andrew Luck is one of the best quarterback prospects to come out in over five years.

He's an instant starter and a guy who will have the Colts in love with him both on and off the field.

Also, based on the philosophy that the quarterback is the most important spot in the franchise, this is a top-notch pick. If there is a franchise quarterback there, you take him.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 2: TE Coby Fleener

Fleener is the top tight end in the past seven years. Fleener instantly has four years of experience working with Luck and will be the starter instantly. Fleener needs work blocking but should be the next great tight end in Indianapolis.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 1: TE Dwayne Allen

The Colts just got their new H-back (TE/WR/FB hybrid) here and Allen is a mid-second round value. Dwayne Allen is a starting caliber tight end and will compliment Fleener perfectly.

Grade: A+

Indianapolis trades fourth-round pick (No. 97 overall) and 2013 fifth-round pick to San Francisco for third-round pick (No. 92 overall) 

Indy trades up to get a receiver they needed. They get great value giving up just a fifth in 2013.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 29: WR T.Y. Hilton

The Colts continue to stock the cupboard for Andrew Luck. This is a good pick for the slot man.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 1: NT Josh Chapman

Chapman is a perfect fit for the nose tackle role in the 3-4 and can start right away.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 35: RB Vick Ballard

The Colts continue to add talent to a team that just needs it. Vick Ballard is a great fit for the new offense in Indy.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 36: WR Lavon Brazill

It's always a good idea to bring in options for your new quarterback.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 1: OL Justin Anderson

You can never have enough offensive linemen and Anderson can play guard or tackle.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 7: OLB Tim Fugger

Fugger is a guy who can play the OLB spot in the new 3-4 defense the Colts run.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 46: QB Chandler Harnish

This is a good pick for someone to backup Luck, and he will be as irrelevant as his moniker.

Grade: A

Jacksonville Jaguars: B-

Jacksonville trades first-round pick (No. 7 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 101 overall) to Tampa Bay trades first-round pick (No. 5 overall)

This is a perfect value for the Jaguars and they get the guy they needed from the get go. Hard to not like moving up two spots for just a fourth.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 5: WR Justin Blackmon

The Jaguars had arguably the worst wide receiver corps in the NFL in 2011. This changes with the signing of Laurent Robinson and the true No. 1 they will get in Justin Blackmon.

Blackmon is a great fit for Mike Mularkey's schemes as the guy to get all the primary targets. Blackmon will make Gabbert look at least serviceable and should fit well with Gabbert's style.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 6: DE Andre Branch

It's always a good thing when a player who is a perfect value for the pick gets taken at a need spot. Branch fits multiple spots for the Jaguars if they decide to go with the 3-4 and 4-3 hybrid mix in their defense.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 7: P Bryan Anger

Two positions you never touch until the sixth round: punter and kicker. Automatic F here.

Grade: F

Round 5, Pick 7: LB Brandon Marshall

The Jaguars get a pick here who can come in and compete for playing time at linebacker, but may not have been the best value.

Grade: C

Round 6, Pick 6: CB Mike Harris

Mike Harris is a good fit for Mel Tucker's defense at corner and slot corner.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 21: DT Jeris Pendleton

Solid depth pick, but who?

Grade: F

Kansas City Chiefs: B+

Round 1, Pick 11: NT Dontari Poe

Poe is arguably the biggest, quickest defensive tackle in the draft this year and is a great fit as a 3-4 nose tackle. He should fit in well with the Chiefs defense and has experience in the 3-4 defense at Memphis.

Poe is one of the few 350 pounders who has run under a 5.0 40-yard dash and should create a huge push in the middle of Romeo Crennel's defense.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 12: OL Jeff Allen

This is a very good fit need wise, but there are quite a few players who were better for the Chiefs to take here. Jeff Allen is a very good run blocker at the left tackle spot and if they move him to the left guard spot as an anchor next to Branden Albert, they will have a very good fit.

Grade: B-

Round 3, Pick 11: OT Donald Stephenson

This is one of the top picks in the draft. While Stephenson may not start initially, he has the ability to bump Albert over to the right tackle spot.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 12: WR Devon Wylie

This may have been a slight reach here, but he's going to add some dynamism to the offense.

Grade: B

Round 5, Pick 11: CB De'Quan Menzie

This is a great value here in the fifth and gives the Chiefs a guy who can come in and play the slot.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 12: RB Cyrus Gray

Gray is going to be a nice change of pace for Kansas City. He can be more of a wrecking ball in the running game when they need it.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 11: DT Jerome Long

Long will provide depth at both the 1-tech and the 5-tech for the Chiefs.

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 31: WR Junior Hemingway

Hemingway is one of the best speed-and-size combo wide receivers and can play slot or outside.

Grade: A

Miami Dolphins: B+

Round 1, Pick 8: QB Ryan Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill is a franchise quarterback who fits Joe Philbin's offense. He's a mid-round player and an instant starter.

He has very good mobility, but he isn't going to be a world beater with the Dolphins until they get him some better wide receivers.

However, Tannehill is a franchise quarterback and if you don't have a franchise quarterback, you have to get one.

Grade: C-

Round 2, Pick 10: OT Jonathan Martin

This is just a ridiculous value here and Jonathan Martin is a starting right tackle from Day 1.

The Dolphins get a guy who has the talent to play left tackle should anything happen to Jake Long too. This is a great pick for both value and need.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 9: DE Olivier Vernon

Vernon is a good fit as a pass rusher for the four-man front for the Dolphins. He should be able to contribute immediately.

Grade: B

Miami trades third-round pick (No. 78 overall) and sixth-round pick (No. 183 overall) to San Diego for third-round pick (No. 73 overall)

Miami trades just a sixth to move up and get a good option for their new franchise QB.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 15: TE Michael Egnew

When you draft a quarterback you have to get him a top option at tight end if you ever want him to develop. Good pick.

Grade: B

Miami trades Fourth round pick (No. 103 overall), Sixth round pick (No. 196 overall) and 2013 Sixth round pick to San Francisco for Fourth round pick (No. 97 overall)

Miami trades up and gets and only has to give up a pair of sixth round picks to do so. Very good pick.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 2: RB Lamar Miller

Miller is a first-to-second round talent and can be a great compliment to Reggie Bush in the Miami offense.

Grade: A+

Miami trades Fifth round pick (No. 145 overall) to Tennessee for Fifth round pick (No. 155 overall) and Seventh round pick (No. 227 overall)

Miami trades down and gets to still get a quality player while also picking up a seventh round pick for more talent.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 20: LB Josh Kaddu

Kaddu is a good fit as an OLB in the new 4-3 the Dolphins are going to be running this year.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 13: WR B.J. Cunningham

The value isn't great here for Cunningham, but it's a good spot to take because Miami does need a WR.

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 8: DL Kheeston Randall

Randall is a great value here and someone who can come right in and contribute as a 3-tech DT or 5-tech DE.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 20: WR Rishard Matthews

Rishard Matthews is a good WR with some speed who can compete for a slot receiver job.

Grade: A

Minnesota Vikings: A-

Minnesota trades first-round pick (No. 3 overall) to Cleveland for first-round pick (No. 4 overall), fourth-round pick (No. 118 overall), fifth-round pick (No. 139 overall), seventh-round pick (No. 211 overall)

The Vikings got three picks to move down one spot and will get the same guy they were going to take in the first place. This is a beautiful trade and a good way to build depth for the team.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 4: OT Matt Kalil

You have to protect the blind side of the franchise, Christian Ponder. Kalil is the best left tackle in the draft and is an excellent pick here.

It gives them a franchise left tackle and someone who helps both the pass and the run. The Vikings also got the guy they were going to take in the first anyway. Kalil is going to be the next Joe Thomas or Jake Long.

Grade: A+

Minnesota trades their second-round pick (No. 35 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 98 overall) to Baltimore for their first-round pick (No. 29 overall)

Just a good value trade here trading up to get their guy. Minnesota gets their guy and still doesn't have to give away the farm.

Grade: A

Round 1, Pick 29: S Harrison Smith

While this pick wasn't the best value in the draft, Harrison Smith addresses one of the Vikings biggest needs. They had some terrible safeties in the 2011 season and Smith should come right in and start at either safety spot and give the Vikings some defensive versatility.

Smith is a top tier coverage guy and is a solid tackler who will help the Vikings run defense as much as their pass defense.

Grade: B-

Round 3, Pick 3: CB Josh Robinson

The Vikings had one of the worst cornerback groups in the NFL last season. Robinson had first-round potential had he stayed in college for a year.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 23: WR Jairus Wright

The Vikings needed someone to join Percy Harvin in the slot and Wright can do that without issue.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 33: TE Rhett Ellison

Ellison is a good fit as a second TE because he is more of a blocker, and he should be an underneath threat.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 39: WR Greg Childs

Childs is a perfect value here. Had he not been injured, he would have been a first-or-second round pick.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 4: CB/S Robert Blanton

Blanton is a high-character corner, safety and nickel who will be a good fit for the Vikings scheme.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 5: K Blair Walsh

The Vikings need to get someone to learn from the aging Ryan Longwell.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 3: LB Audie Cole

This is a player that should have been taken two rounds earlier. Very talented linebacker for depth.

Grade: A+

Minnesota trades Fifth round pick (No. 138 overall) and Seventh round pick (No. 223 overall) to Detroit for Seventh round pick (No. 219 overall) and 2013 Fourth Round pick

Minnesota picks up a higher pick in next year's draft by trading away their fifth this year. Smart trade long term.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 12: DE Trevor Guyton

This is a guy with a fifth-round value and should provide some good depth behind Robison.

Grade: A

Minnesota trades Seventh round pick (No. 211 overall) to Tennessee for a Sixth round pick in 2013

It's always good to pick up a pick in the next year's draft when you have already made 10 picks in the current draft.

Grade: A

New England Patriots: C-

New England trades first-round pick (No. 27 overall) and third-round pick (No. 93 overall) to Cincinnati for first-round pick (No. 21 overall)

When you have six picks in the first three rounds, you can afford to trade up for once. This was a beautiful trade to get a guy they wanted.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 21: DE/OLB Chandler Jones

After a great trade only giving up a third to move up six spots, the Patriots get their guy here.

Chandler Jones isn't the best value here, but maybe Belichick knows something we don't. Jones will play as a defensive end in their 4-3 packages and an outside linebacker in their 3-4 packages. Chandler Jones will provide Belichick great versatility in his defense and he is UFC champ Jon Jones' little brother.

Grade: C

New England trades first-round pick (No. 31 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 128 overall) to Denver for first-round pick (No. 25 overall)

To only trade away a fourth round pick and move up six spots to get your guy is insane. The Patriots make perfect use of their pick here, too. 

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 25: LB Dont'a Hightower

This move signifies a move back to the 3-4 for the Patriots and it's the right move here.

Dont'a Hightower is the best inside linebacker in the draft and will allow the Pats to have a thumper in the middle who can join Brandon Spikes in run situations and Jerod Mayo in pass situations. The Pats could also run with Spikes at SLB in the 4-3 and Mayo at WLB to give them a truly monstrous linebacker corps.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 16: S Tavon Wilson

The Patriots did need a safety, but Tavon Wilson is not a starting caliber player by any means. Tavon Wilson is at best a depth safety and special teams captain long term.

The Patriots will regret this pick once they realize there were 15-to-16 safeties from this class that don't get cut in training camp.

Grade: F

New England trades second-round pick (No. 62 overall) to Green Bay for third-round pick (No. 90 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 163 overall)

New England gets no value here to move almost 30 spots down in the draft.

Grade: F

Round 3, Pick 27: DE Jake Bequette

He's extremely quick off the edge and could signify a final move to the 4-3 defense. Bequette can play 3-4 or 4-3 DE.

Grade: A

New England trades Fifth round pick (No. 163 overall) to Green Bay for Sixth round pick (No. 197 overall) and Seven round picks (Nos. 224 and 235 overall)\

New England trades down another 34 spots and still gets ripped off again getting horrible value for their one pick.

Grade: F

Round 6, Pick 27: S Nate Ebner

This is a solid pick for special teams, but he will be depth at best at safety.

Grade: D-

Round 7, Pick 17: CB Alfonzo Dennard

If there is any team that can set Dennard straight, it's the Patriots. His talent is too good to pass up.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 28: WR Jeremy Ebert

Productive college player who played in the Big Ten and has solid speed.

Grade: C

New Orleans Saints: D+

Round 3, Pick 26: DT Akiem Hicks

Akiem Hicks isn't a great pick because he's a big reach. Hicks is a good player, but he is a sixth-round value.

Grade: D

Round 4, Pick 27: WR Nick Toon

Toon can come in and compete for a role in that offense and can replace Robert Meachem's spot.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 27: CB/S Corey White

This isn't a great value here, but White should be able to come in and compete for playing time at the nickel.

Grade: C

Round 6, Pick 9: OG Andrew Tiller

After losing Carl Nicks and signing Grubbs, a starting OG isn't needed, but Tiller can backup both OG spots.

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 27: OT Marcel Jones

Jones is a good depth pick for a swing tackle.

Grade: A

New York Giants: A

Round 1, Pick 32: RB David Wilson

When value meets need, you get a pick like David Wilson to the New York Giants. Wilson is an all-around back and should allow the Giants to run an excellent two-back set between Ahmad Bradshaw and David Wilson.

Wilson should be able to get into the starting lineup this year and contribute right away. Wilson could be in the running for offensive rookie of the year this year.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 31: WR Reuben Randle

The Giants needed someone to compliment the combination of Cruz and Nicks. Randle provides a lot of talent to compete for the starting spot with Cruz and should be at worst the third best wide receiver on his own team and a major contributor.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 31: CB Jayron Hosley

Despite a failed drug test, Hosley is a ridiculously good value here and could end up as a long-term starter for the Giants.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 32: TE Adrien Robinson

Robinson is an athletic talent who can stretch a defense in the middle of the field and will be able to learn for at least a year as a backup.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 36: OT Brandon Mosley

The Giants hit a need here in a right tackle. Mosley is a solid value, too.

Grade: B+

Round 6, Pick 31: OT Matt McCants

McCants is one of the top 100 players in the draft and shouldn't have lasted this long. Instant depth at left and right tackle.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 32: DT Markus Kuhn

Kuhn is a very good fit for the Giants defense and should slide right into the rotation as a pass rusher.

Grade: A

New York Jets: B

Round 1, Pick 16: DE Quinton Coples

The Jets needed someone who could help with the pass rush off the edge in their base packages and who could move to an under-tackle role when they go out and use the four-man fronts in the nickel packages.

Coples will allow them the ability to run nickel out of the three-man fronts and should be an instant plug-and-play guy for them. Coples lucked out and got drafted by his best scheme fit.

Grade: B

New York Jets trade Second round pick (No. 47 overall), Fifth round pick (No. 154 overall) and Seveth round pick (No. 232 overall) to Seattle for Second round pick (No, 43 overall)

The Jets get fair value in the trade up here but get a great prospect through the trade.

Grade: B

Round 2, Pick 11: WR Stephen Hill

The Jets get a great value here and add a weapon for the Sanchise and Tebowmania to fight over. Stephen Hill is used to not being thrown to so being a No. 2 in the Jets offense will be a great fit for him. He has average hands, but great speed.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 14: LB Demario Davis

Davis is a good fit for the Mike role in the Jets' 3-4 scheme. Davis is an all-around linebacker who should add versatility to their defense.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 17: S Josh Bush

Bush is an intelligent safety who will end up as good depth for the Jets at safety and special teams.

Grade: C

Round 6, Pick 32: RB Terrance Ganaway

This gives the Jets a true pounder to team with the already-pounding Greene.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 33: OG Robert T. Griffin

This is a guy who can provide depth at all three interior spots, but could start eventually

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 35: S Antonio Allen

Allen is a top 100 level talent and will be able to start at SS eventually for the Jets.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 37: WR Jordan White

Jordan White will come in and add another option for the Sanchise to throw to.

Grade: A

Oakland Raiders: A-

Round 3, Pick 32: OL Tony Bergstrom

Bergstrom is a great pick here for the Raiders. He should be an instant starter at guard for the Raiders next to one of the massive offensive tackles they have.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 34: OLB Miles Burris

The Raiders need someone who can get after the passer in their new 3-4. Burris has a solid value here as a pass rusher.

Grade: B

Oakland trades Fifth round pick (No. 148 overall) to Detroit for Fifth round pick (No. 158 overall) and Seventh round pick (No. 230 overall)

Oakland is a team that needs an influx of as much talent as possible and here they get another pick.

Trade: A

Round 5, Pick 23: DE Jack Crawford

This is a good value for the Raiders to get someone who can play the 5-tech for the Raiders.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 33: WR Juron Criner

The Raiders get a good possession receiver and a top 100 talent here.

Grade: A+

Round 6, Pick 19: DT Christo Bilukidi

Georgia State's first draft pick is a good fit for the Raiders defense at the nose tackle spot.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 23: LB Nathan Stupar

This is a fifth-round talent in the seventh and he should be able to contribute early as depth.

Grade: A

Philadelphia Eagles: A-

Philadelphia trades first-round pick (No. 15 overall), fourth-round pick (No. 114 overall), and sixth-round pick (No. 172 overall) to Seattle for first-round pick (No. 12 overall)

I can't ever fault a team for trading up for their guy. Philadelphia knew who it wanted for a while now and made a top-notch decision here.

Grade: A

Round 1, Pick 12: DT Fletcher Cox

Fletcher Cox is one of my personal favorite defensive linemen in the draft.

He is a top 10 pick in my eyes and to get him past No. 10 is a true win for the Eagles who will use him in the base packages, the sub packages and at either defensive tackle or defensive end depending on what formation they decide to use.

Cox is the quickest defender off the line in his film and he is a pocket-collapsing player.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 14: LB Mychal Kendricks

Mychal Kendricks is a good middle linebacker, but he has the speed and agility to slide out to the outside linebacker spot. However, he is a third-round value and while he is one of the most productive players from college football and a great need and scheme fit, the Cal grad is just a bad value here.

Grade: C-

Philadelphia trades second-round pick (No. 51 overall) to Green Bay for second-round pick (No. 59 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 123 overall)

Philly trades down a total of eight spots and picks up a fourth rounder to add to its depth.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 27: DE Vinny Curry

Curry is a perfect pick for the wide-nine alignment in Philadelphia. He's going to remind a lot of people of Jason Babin when he is in that wide nine and could very easily end up in a great rotation with Brandon Graham, Trent Cole and Jason Babin.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 25: QB Nick Foles

The Eagles need someone who can come in and win games when Vick gets hurt every season. Nick Foles is that guy for them.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 28: CB Brandon Boykin

This is an amazing pick here, getting the best player available and someone who can play in the slot for the Eagles.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 18: OT Dennis Kelly

You can never have enough good offensive linemen. Dennis Kelly is a good fit as a swing tackle.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 24: WR Marvin McNutt

McNutt is a great value here and has the size to provide a change up to Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson in the passing game.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 30: OL Brandon Washington

This is just amazing depth for that Philadelphia line. Washington can play guard or right tackle in the NFL.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 22: RB Bryce Brown

Brown isn't exactly a top running back and has very few college carries to his name.

Grade: F

Pittsburgh Steelers: A

Round 1, Pick 24: OG David DeCastro

David DeCastro is a true Steelers pick for the long-term interior of that offensive line.

DeCastro is a guy who will be able to compliment Maurkice Pouncey and will create a top tandem inside on the Steelers offensive line.

DeCastro is a top player in the draft at guard and will strengthen the biggest weakness on the Steelers. DeCastro can also take over at center when Pouncey gets injured.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 24: OT Mike Adams

Mike Adams is a top left tackle in this year's draft and should be able to start right away for the Steelers. It's nice to see that the Steelers finally understand that their offensive line was a huge weakness. Adams will be a top left tackle for the Steelers.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 23: LB Sean Spence

Sean Spence is a good fit for the 3-4 ILB spot and could be great depth for the Steelers. He could compete for James Farrior's old spot.

Grade: A

Pittsburgh trades Fourth round pick (No. 119 overall) and Sixth round pick (No. 193 overall) to Washington for Fourth round pick (No. 109 overall)

Pittsburgh trades a sixth when it has a pair of extra sevenths in order to get one of the top fits for there scheme here. Great value in the trade.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 14: NT Alameda Ta'amu

Alameda Ta'amu is a great fit for the 3-4 scheme that the Steelers run and the trade makes sense for them to move up.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 24: RB Chris Rainey

This is a good fit for the Steelers as a change-of-pace back and is a great value pick.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 24: WR Toney Clemons

Clemons is a solid WR, but there are quite a few options here that could be much better.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 33: TE David Paulson

Paulson is a solid depth tight end.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 39: CB Terrence Frederick

Frederick is a good corner with return ability and should be able to contribute in dime packages early.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 41: OG Kelvin Beachum

Beachum is a guy who can provide depth at both the guard and tackle spots.

Grade: A

San Diego Chargers: A-

Round 1, Pick 18: OLB Melvin Ingram

Ingram is in my top nine players in this draft.

To luck into him at No. 18 is insane for the Chargers. Melvin Ingram is arguably the best pass rusher in this draft and should allow for the Chargers to have an unbelievable playmaker at the OLB spot. He also has some creative uses in the special teams units and should contribute instantly in San Diego.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 17: DE Kendall Reyes

The Chargers just get some more value here. Reyes was a fringe first-round talent and gets taken here in the middle of the second. Reyes is an instant starter at defensive end and should beat out Luis Castillo for the starting job.

Grade: A+

San Diego trades third-round pick (No. 78 overall) and sixth-round pick (No. 183 overall) to Miami for third-round pick (No. 73 overall)

San Diego gives up just a sixth rounder to move up and get their guy in Taylor.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 10: S Brandon Taylor

The Chargers commit to the defense here with Brandon Taylor and add another person to compete for a starting spot and help revamp an average defense. This isn't a great value though.

Grade: C

Round 4, Pick 15: TE Ladarius Green

Green has fringe second-round talent and getting him here in the fourth is crazy good value. Green will compliment Antonio Gates.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 14: OG Johnnie Troutman

Troutman is a big, physical player who should help upgrade that offensive line.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 19: C David Molk

Molk is a fifth-round prospect who has 42 starts and will provide great depth.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 43: RB Edwin Baker

Baker is a good fit for the offense run in San Diego.

Grade: A

San Francisco 49ers: C-

Round 1, Pick 30: WR A.J. Jenkins

The 49ers need a wide receiver who can come in and start and learn from one of the best in Randy Moss.

A.J. Jenkins is a great athlete, but he isn't a top receiver and this pick is puzzling with the better options that were available. Jenkins should provide quite a bit of talent to the receiving corps in San Francisco, though, and should compete for a returner spot initially.

Grade: D

Round 2, Pick 29: RB LaMichael James

LaMichael James will play the change-of-pace running back for the 49ers and can also play at wide receiver and will be used similar to how the Saints use Darren Sproles. Also, James will be a return man for a long time for the 49ers.

Grade: A

San Francisco trades third-round pick (No. 92 overall) to Indianapolis for fourth-round pick (No. 97 overall) and 2013 fifth-round pick

San Francisco moves down just five spots and still ends up picking up a fifth-round pick in 2013.

Grade: A+

San Francisco trades Fourth round pick (No. 97 overall) to Miami for Fourth round pick (No. 103 overall), Sixth round pick (No. 196 overall) and 2013 Sixth round pick

San Fran continues to build it's 2013 pick portfolio by adding another pick in the 2013 draft. and moves down just six spots

Grade: A+

San Francisco trades Fourth round pick (No. 103 overall) to Carolina for Sixth round pick (No. 180 overall) and 2013 Third round pick

San Fran robs Carolina here and picks up a 2013 third round pick for their pick here and still keep a pick this year.

Grade: A+

San Francisco trades Fourth round pick (No. 125 overall) and Sixth round pick (No. 196 overall) to Detroit for Fourth round pick (No. 117 overall)

San Francisco moves up and only loses the sixth round pick they just traded for.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 22: OG Joe Looney

While I agree with the sentiment of an OG, I don't think Looney was worth this pick.

Grade: D

Round 5, Pick 30: LB Darius Fleming

The 49ers get some good depth for their linebacker corps here and solid value with the pick.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 10: S Trenton Robinson

Robinson has the talent to be in the top 100 picks in the draft and should contribute early as depth for San Francisco.

Grade: A

Round 6, Pick 29: OL Jason Slowey

Slowey is a solid pick for depth, but will never be a starter. However, not a great value here.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 30: OLB Cam Johnson

Cam Johnson has second-round talent and is one of the better pass rushers in the draft.

Grade: A+

Seattle Seahawks: D

Seattle trades first-round pick (No. 12 overall) to Philadelphia for first-round pick (No. 15 overall), fourth-round pick (No. 114 overall), and sixth-round pick (No. 172 overall)

Seattle trades down and still gets their guy. The trade here was brilliant. The Seahawks will benefit from the extra picks.

Grade: A

Round 1, Pick 15: DE/OLB Bruce Irvin

The Seahawks took a second-round talent in the top 15. Irvin is a nasty pass rusher, but that's where his game stops.

The Seahawks got a great fit for their scheme, but his value is what will hold this grade down. This is a good pick for their need, but there was just so much more talent available here and you have to wonder if Melvin Ingram would have been better.

Grade: D

Seattle trades second-round pick (No. 43 overall) to New York Jets for second-round pick (No. 47 overall), fifth-round pick (No. 154 overall) and seventh-round pick (No. 232 overall)

Seattle trades down all of four spots and still gets their guy, but they also get a fifth and a seventh to go with him. Good trade.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 15: LB Bobby Wagner

This is a great pick. Wagner is a good fit for that defense and can play middle linebacker for years under Pete Carroll.

Wagner was a fringe first-round talent and will play hard every down. Wagner will lead the defense and is a smart, cerebral linebacker who will be the QB of the defense.

Grade: A

Round 3, Pick 12: QB Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson has the potential to turn into the next Drew Brees if the Seahawks use him right. Wilson is a leader and has a good arm and should be a starter eventually.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 11: RB Robert Turbin

This is a good pick where the value has met the need and Turbin can compete for the primary backup spot.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 19: DT Jaye Howard

They traded up here to get a guy most people thought was a seventh-round value. Good fit for the defense, but may not get a lot of playing time.

Grade: D

Round 5, Pick 19: LB Korey Toomer

This is their third linebacker selection in this draft and doesn't make sense for value either.

Grade: F

Round 6, Pick 2: CB Jeremy Lane

Jeremy Lane is an average-at-best corner and should not have been drafted.

Grade: F

Round 6, Pick 11: S Winston Guy

Guy is a good fit for both special teams and depth at both safety spots.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 18: DT J.R. Sweezy

Sweezy is an athletic talent who can play the NT or UT spots in the defense.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 25: DT Greg Scruggs

They have already taken multiple defensive linemen and the value here just isn't good.

Grade: F

St. Louis Rams: B+

St. Louis trades first-round pick (No. 6 overall) to Dallas for first-round pick (No. 14 overall) and second-round pick (No. 45 overall)

This is a great trade for the St. Louis Rams and they have turned their No. 2 overall pick into a few really good picks needed for this team to succeed.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 14: DT Michael Brockers

The Rams get Brockers here to help anchor the middle of that defense. Brockers is arguably the best plugging tackle in the draft this year and will team with Langford to help shore up the middle of that defensive line. Brockers will be able to slide in right away and the only way this pick would have been better is if they would have taken a left tackle.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 1: WR Brian Quick

Brian Quick has great size and speed, but the Rams need more than just one wide receiver. Quick will start off as a possession-style receiver early on and could be a long-term No. 1 for the Rams. However, at this spot, you would have expected Stephen Hill or Alshon Jeffery.

Grade: B

Round 2, Pick 7: CB Janoris Jenkins

Janoris Jenkins is a great fit for the defense that Jeff Fisher will run. Jenkins may have some character issues but his talent is top notch and on the field is the best corner in the draft. Jenkins will slide right in and give the Rams their third starter here.

Grade: A+

St. Louis trades second-round pick (No. 45 overall) to Chicago for second-round pick (No. 50 overall) and fifth-round pick (No. 150 overall)

The Rams trade down five spots and pick up a valuable fifth in a deep draft.

Grade: A

Round 2, Pick 18: RB Isaiah Pead

They get good value here and get the true change of pace and returner here in Pead. Pead is also a long-term option as a mighty-mouse style running back for the Rams and should be the starter long term once Jackson retires.

Grade: B+

Round 3, Pick 2: CB/S Trumaine Johnson

Johnson is a second-round value here and should allow the Rams the ability to cover people deep. Johnson could start at either corner or free safety in the NFL.

Grade: A+

Round 4, Pick 1: WR Chris Givens

Givens is a perfect fit for the slot and is a tremendous value here. Love this pick as another target for Rams.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 15: OG Rokevious Watkins

Watkins gives some size and bulk to the interior of the Rams line, but is not a great value here.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 1: K Greg Zuerlein

Zuerlin is a very talented kicker and could be the kicker in St. Louis for a long time.

Grade: B

Round 7, Pick 2: LB Aaron Brown

They need some linebacker depth, but Brown may not be the best value here with Travis Lewis still on the board.

Grade: F

Round 7, Pick 45: RB Daryl Richardson

Even this late, to make me say "who?" is a hard thing to do. Congrats St. Louis.

Grade: F

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: B+

Tampa Bay trades first-round pick (No. 5 overall) to Jacksonville for first-round pick (No. 7 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 101 overall)

Tampa moves down and picks up an extra pick to get a top player at a need spot. They didn't need to spend the resources on the cornerback that early either.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 7: S Mark Barron

Mark Barron was a mid-first round pick in my eyes. He reminds me a lot of the late Sean Taylor as he is a huge safety with the ability to cover deep.

He will look great in the defense that Greg Schiano runs and will be able to play as a roaming safety between both the box and coverage, much like a Troy Polamalu more than a Ed Reed.

Grade: A-

Tampa Bay trades second-round pick (No. 36 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 101 overall) to Denver for first-round pick (No. 31 overall)

The Buccaneers just picked up this fourth rounder and essentially traded down two spots in the first to move their second rounder into the first round.

Grade: A+

Round 1, Pick 31: RB Doug Martin

While Doug Martin is one of my personal favorites in this draft, he's only a mid-second round value who is being traded up for in the first. However, Martin is a great fit for the Buccaneers and should be an excellent compliment to the bruising LeGarrette Blount. Martin should be that third down change-of-pace back who will help the Bucs long term.

Grade: B

Tampa Bay trades third-round pick (No. 68 overall) and fourth-round pick (No. 126 overall) to Houston for second-round pick (No. 58 overall) and seventh-round pick (No. 233 overall)

Trading a third rounder and a fourth rounder to move up 10 spots and pick up a seventh is not really worth it. However, they got a starter out of it.

Grade: C

Round 2, Pick 26: LB Lavonte David

The Buccaneers get a great value here and will get an instant starter for their defense. While Barron will remind people of Troy Polamalu, David will remind them of Lance Briggs. David should start right away for Schiano and be a leader in that defense.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 5: LB Najee Goode

Goode is a solid fit for the Buccaneers scheme and should allow for more versatility in the defense at SLB.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 4: CB Keith Tandy

The Bucs get good value here at corner, getting a speedy corner who can play both zone and man.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 5: RB Michael Smith

Michael Smith is a fast one-cut style back who will enjoy Schiano's offense.

Grade: A

Round 7, Pick 26: FB Drake Dunsmore

Dunsmore is a good fit for the Schiano offense as a blocker and receiver in the backfield.

Grade: A

Tennessee Titans: B+

Round 1, Pick 20: WR Kendall Wright

The Titans took their franchise quarterback last year in Jake Locker and now they get him a weapon in Kendall Wright.

Wright will compliment Kenny Britt in the passing game and should provide an excellent second option for the Titans.

This hits a big need and still gets great value as Wright is a good pick in the 18-to-25 range. Wright will line up in the slot quite a bit and should give Locker a sure-handed yards-after-catch receiver.

Grade: A+

Round 2, Pick 20: OLB Zach Brown

Here's another pick that a team has a guy who should have been selected closer to the first round instead of where he was selected.

Brown isn't known for a love of contact, but considering he will be playing the weakside for the Titans, this is a good pick.

Grade: A+

Round 3, Pick 19: DT Mike Martin

Martin is a guy who can play the nose and the 3-tech in the 4-3 that the Titans run. Martin will be an upgrade over Jason Jones, who left this offseason.

Grade: A

Round 4, Pick 20: CB Cody Sensabaugh

This is a good fit for a guy who will develop into a starting corner. Great character and fast player.

Grade: B

Tennessee trades Fifth round pick (No. 155 overall) and Seventh round pick (No. 227 overall) to Miami for Fifth round pick (No. 145 overall)

Tennessee makes a solid trade here giving up just a seventh to move up 10 spots.

Grade: A

Round 5, Pick 10: TE Taylor Thompson

Thompson is a DE in college, but will still be able to contribute as a TE in the NFL.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 20: S Markelle Martin

Martin is a top 100 player in this draft and someone who can contribute early on special teams.

Grade: A+

Tennessee trades 2013 Sixth round pick to Minnesota for Seventh round pick (No. 211 overall)

This is not a great trade because you never know who will be there in the next year. However, if you like a guy you get him.

Grade: C

Round 7, Pick 4: DE Scott Solomon

Good value here for a true pass rusher in Solomon.

Grade: B

Washington Redskins: B-

Round 1, Pick 2: QB Robert Griffin III

The Redskins played through last year without a NFL-caliber starting quarterback.

Baylor product and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III will be the new franchise quarterback for the Redskins and should give them a legitimate NFL starter.

This is another pick that fits the "If you don't have a franchise QB, get one!" philosophy.

Grade: A+

Washington trades third-round pick (No. 69 overall) to Buffalo for third-round pick (No. 72 overall) and seventh-round pick (No. 217 overall)

Washington knew it could trade down and still get its guy and a pick later in the draft.

Grade: B

Round 3, Pick 8: OG Josh LeRebius

The Redskins get another player here who will play well in the zone scheme that Washington runs under the Shanahans.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 7: QB Kirk Cousins

This says what we have all been thinking: Rex Grossman is nothing more than a third stringer in the NFL. Good value, but confusing pick.

Grade: D

Washington trades Fourth round pick (No. 109 overall) to Pittsburgh for Fourth round pick (No. 109 overall) and Sixth round pick (No. 193 overall)

Washington knew it could trade down and still get its guy and a pick later in the draft.

Grade: B

Round 4, Pick 24: LB Keenan Robinson

Robinson is a versatile linebacker who can learn how to play the game from London Fletcher. Great value here.

Grade: A+

Round 5, Pick 6: OG Adam Gettis

The value is decent here, but there is a question about need as the Skins just took a guard in the third round.

Grade: D+

Round 6, Pick 3: RB Alfred Morris

Solid value here in taking the one cut-and-go style back in Morris.

Grade: B

Round 6, Pick 23: OT Tom Compton

Compton is a tackle who has played both the right and left sides and is a good fit for the zone scheme.

Grade: A+

Round 7, Pick 6: CB Richard Crawford

Crawford is a solid cornerback but you have to think Minnifield is a better fit for the Redskins.

Grade: D

Round 7, Pick 10: CB Jordan Bernstine

This is yet another solid-yet-unspectacular corner pick.

Grade: D
