Following three days of intensive research and deliberation by all 32 NFL teams, draft season is officially over. 

However, the evaluation process is just starting. And in that spirit, it's time to hand out some grades with all seven rounds of the draft complete. 

Taking team needs, prospective fits and draft-pick values into account, here's a look at each team's haul and the grade they received. 

Below you'll find a breakdown of three intriguing fits from teams that received high marks on the grading scale.  

Players to Watch

Braxton Miller, WR, Houston Texans

The Houston Texans had a clear goal entering the NFL draft: load up the offense with weapons for quarterback Brock Osweiler. 

And while Notre Dame wide receiver Will Fuller was the team's big get in Round 1, Ohio State wideout Braxton Miller may wind up being a sensational third-round steal.  

Although Miller is just one year removed from making the transition to receiver at Ohio State, he has the ability to serve as a brilliant complement out of the slot to the Texans' two burners on the outside.

"Braxton Miller, just a versatile player, explosive player," Texans general manager Rick Smith said, per the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson. "Trying to impact our football team, adding players who can add dimensions to our football team who can make plays with the ball in their hands and certainly he can do that."

DeAndre Hopkins, your thoughts? 

While it may take Miller some time to adjust to more complex route concepts at the next level, he should have no problem evolving into Houston's most dynamic open-field weapon over the next few seasons. 

Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints addressed the defensive side of the ball in the first round when they snagged tackle Sheldon Rankins, but they opted to give quarterback Drew Brees some reinforcements at wide receiver in Round 2 when they selected Michael Thomas at No. 47 overall.  

The former Buckeye may not have garnered hype like Fuller, Laquon Treadwell, Josh Doctson or Corey Coleman, but he's a sure-handed receiver who can create separation on the outside with his brilliant footwork. 

Contrast Thomas' skill set with that of burner Brandin Cooks, and the Saints may have a dynamite one-two punch on their hands as they seek to rebound from back-to-back 7-9 campaigns and the loss of veteran Marques Colston. 

"They just lost Marques...and the offense is tremendous and the coaching staff is tremendous also," Thomas said, per the Times-Picayune's Katherine Terrell. "I wouldn't have chosen anywhere else. But you can't pick; they pick you. So I just enjoyed the process."

Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

Whatever the record for single-season rushes is by a team is, the Tennessee Titans appear hellbent on breaking it.

After acquiring DeMarco Murray from the Philadelphia Eagles in March, the Titans went out on a limb and selected reigning Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry in Friday night's second round. 

And while Henry's selection may have appeared redundant with another power back like Murray already on the roster, the Titans believe both players can thrive, not just as interchangeable parts, but as backs who share the field. 

"Like we said, we can extend them (outside); we can do a number of things with these guys," Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said, per the Tennessean's John Glennon. "They are both very good in receiving skills. You’ve got a lot of options if you want both of them on the field at the same time."

Questions will undoubtedly abound regarding the Titans' ability to properly deploy Henry and Murray in inventive ways, but there's no denying the team has the bruising backs necessary to take the pressure off quarterback Marcus Mariota a year after he was repeatedly crunshed behind a shaky offensive line.
