2017 NFL Draft: Draft Grades

Alright, here are my draft grades. They take into account my pick grades, a round weighted that decreased the impact of picks later in the draft, trade values, my pure player grades, and the big board adjusted grades. Put that altogether and you get my final grades for the 2017.

2017 NFL Draft: Day Three Grades

Rounds 4-7 are depth building and taking flyers on high upside players that could make an impact. This is a slightly touched up version of what it looks like in semi-note taking form when I watch the draft. Note: For some reason when I copy this over from Word it starts the numbers at one. So yeah, there were 146 picks today 108-253.

Round 4

1)     Green Bay Packers from Cleveland – Vince Biegel, OLB, Wisconsin – Grade: B+

Best Badger pass rusher in the draft.

2)     Minnesota Vikings from San Francisco – Jaleel Johnson, Int, Iowa – Grade: A

Great interior player. Going to be where you need him. At worst a very useful rotation player.

3)     Jacksonville Jaguars – Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma – Grade: C+

A quick wide receiver with explosive speed, but he’s kind of a one trick pony and really undersized at 178 lbs.

4)     Seattle Seahawks from Chicago from San Francisco – Tedric Thompson, S, Colorado – Grade: A

Trade: CHI/LAR

5)     Chicago Bears from Los Angeles (N) – Eddie Jackson, DB, Alabama – Grade: B+

Injured this past season, still recovering but was a stud for Bama a couple years ago. Good gamble in the fourth.

6)     Los Angeles Chargers – Rayshawn Jenkins, S, Miami (FL) – Grade: B

This pick hit almost perfect on my board. Good player, good pick.

7)     Washington Redskins from New York (A) – Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma – Grade: B+

All the upside in the world here. If Perine gets his explosion back from before the injury this is a home run.

8)     Carolina Panthers – Dorian Johnson, G, Pittsburgh – Grade: C+

Good player, but there are linemen I’d rather have right now.

9)     Cincinnati Bengals – Carl Lawson, Edge, Auburn – Grade: A+

Great gamble here. Lawson’s medicals must have been atrocious. He was 16 on my board.

10)  Los Angeles Rams from Chicago from Buffalo – Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M – Grade:B

Lots of upside here, and lots of help for Goff.

11)  Philadelphia Eagles – Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina – Grade: C+

Not the best receiver from North Carolina. Switzer is a slot compared to the height and length of Hollins, but meh.

12)  Chicago Bears from Arizona – Tarik Cohen, RB, North Carolina A&T – Grade: B+

A scat back from the FCS. I have my questions about his ability to do it consistently against top competition, but he’s fun to watch.

13)  Minnesota Vikings – Ben Gedeon, OBLB, Michigan – Grade: C+

Thought of highly by people I trust, but I’m a bit lower on him. Should provide good depth.

Trade: SF/IND

14)  San Francisco from Indianapolis – Joe Williams, RB, Utah – Grade: A-

Big Williams fan, had a few backs I thought were better still on the board. Overall, a solid selection.

15)  Baltimore Ravens – Nico Siragusa, G, San Diego State – Grade: A+

Mauler. Really good player, was 67 on my board.

16)  Washington Redskins – Montae Nicholson, S, Michigan State – Grade: C+

17)  Detroit Lions from Tennessee from New England – Jalen Reeves-Maybin, OBLB, Tennessee – Grade: A

Another really good player who missed a bunch of time last season, but is well worth a flyer at this point.

Trade: LAR/TB

18)  Los Angeles Rams from Tampa Bay – Samson Ebukam, Edge, Eastern Washington – Grade: B+

Trade: CLE/DEN

19)  Cleveland Browns from Denver – Howard Wilson, CB, Houston – Grade: B-

20)  Detroit Lions – Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo – Grade: B

All this kid did was catch TDs last season at Toledo.

21)  Cincinnati Bengals from Miami from Minnesota – Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee – Grade: C+

I have a good number of receivers above Malone. Get the pick, but he’s at least WR5 right away and for the foreseeable future.

22)  Oakland Raiders – David Sharpe, OT, Florida – Grade: C+

See Dorian Johnson.

23)  Houston Texans – Julie’n Davenport, OT, Bucknell – Grade: B+

24)  New England Patriots – Deatrich Wise – Grade: C+

Trade: PHI/MIN

25)  Philadelphia Eagles from Minnesota – Donnel Pumphrey, RB, SDSU– Grade: B

26)  Dallas Cowboys – Ryan Switzer, WR, North Carolina – Grade: A+

27)  Green Bay Packers – Jamaal Williams, RB, BYU – Grade: C+

I almost gave this a B- because a lot of people whose analysis I like and trust love this kid’s game.

28)  Pittsburgh Steelers – Joshua Dobbs – Grade: B+

29)  Atlanta Falcons – Sean Harlow – Grade: B

30)  Indianapolis Colts – Zach Banner – Grade: D+

Just because I don’t like to give Fs after day 2. David on NFL Network said it best, he doesn’t move well.

31)  Cincinnati – Ryan Glasgow, Int, Michigan – Grade: B

Trade: KC/MIN

32)  Kansas City Chiefs – Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan – Grade: C+

33)  New York Giants – Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson – Grade: B+

Liked Gallman, but like Williams he tested really poorly.

34)  New York Jets – Chad Hansen, WR, California – Grade: B-

Worth a flyer based on his performance at Cal this season. Would have preferred other receivers but not a bad pick.

35)  Houston Texans – Carlos Watkins, Int, Clemson – Grade: A+

Productive player at Clemson, not the greatest athlete, but at this point his going was long overdue.

36)  Indianapolis Colts – Marlon Mack, RB, USF – Grade: B-

Athletic freak, but Mack has a lot too make you excited. He’s going to need to bounce outside and fumble less to be the back we all think he could become out of USF.

37)  Indianapolis Colts – Grover Stewart, Int, Albany State – Grade: C+

I get it athletically, but he disappeared on tape against low level competition at Albany State.

Round 5

38)  Denver Broncos – Jake Butt, TE, Michigan – Grade: B+

Took a slide after he got hurt, but this is a top ten tight end in the class and a well-rounded player.

39)  San Francisco 49ers – George Kittle, TE, Iowa – Grade: A

40)  Chicago Bears – Jordan Morgan, G, Kutztown – Grade: C+

41)  Jacksonville Jaguars – Blair Brown, OBLB, Ohio – Grade: A+

Love, love, love this pick. Great player long time starter. 21 on my board.

42)  Atlanta Falcons – Damontae Kazee, CB, San Diego State – Grade: A+

True playmaker, lacks some athletic traits but this is well past time to add this ball hawk to a team.

43)  New York Jets – Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson – Grade: A

44)  Los Angeles Chargers – Desmond King, DB, Iowa – Grade: A+

King reportedly wants to play corner and not safety. I think King should get a try at corner first, but if he needs to move to safety his willingness will determine whether this is the upside pick I think it is.

45)  Carolina Panthers – Corn Elder, CB, Miami(FL) – Grade: B+

Good player, questions about size and athleticism, but Elder was my last expected starter as corner 26.

46)  Cincinnati Bengals – Jake Elliot, K, Memphis – Grade: D-

Don’t waste a draft pick on a kicker.

47)  Washington Redskins – Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas – Grade: C+

Trade: TEN/PHI

48)  Tennessee Titans from Philadelphia – Jayon Brown, OBLB, UCLA – Grade: A

49)  Atlanta Falcons – Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming – Grade: B-

Gives them another option in the backfield. A good back with equally good feet for his size.

50)  Arizona Cardinals – Will Holden, OT, Vanderbilt – Grade: A+

You get a good SEC tackle at 157 with good technique and a solid option to help the Cardinals line.

51)  Indianapolis Colts – Nate Hairston, CB, Temple – Grade: C+

52)  Baltimore Ravens – Jermaine Eluemunor, OL, Texas A&M – Grade: C+

Trade: NYJ/CLE

53)  Cleveland Browns from New York (A) – Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State – Grade: B-

Not a huge fan of Johnson but I don’t have a huge problem with this pick.

54)  Indianapolis Colts – Anthony Walker Jr, OBLB, Northwestern – Grade: A-

Good solid player from Northwestern. At worst, he makes your two deep better.

55)  Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State – Grade: A+

Hey McNichols has some issues, but at 162 this is a heck of a pick.

56)  Buffalo Bills – Matt Milano, OBLB, Boston College – Grade: A

Trade: Phi/MIA

57)  Miami Dolphins from Philadelphia from Tennessee – Isaac Asiata, G, Utah – Grade: C+

58)  Detroit Lions – Jamal Agnew, CB, San Diego – Grade: B

59)  Philadelphia Eagles from Miami – Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia – Grades: B-

60)  New York Giants – Avery Moss, Edge, Youngstown State – Grade: A+

Overshadowed at times by Rivers, Moss is a great value here for the Giants.

61)  Oakland Raiders – Marquel Lee, OBLB, Wake Forest – Grade: C+

62)  Houston Texans – Treston DeCoud, CB, Oregon State – Grade: C+

63)  Minnesota Vikings – Rodney Adams, WR, USF – Grade: D

64)  Buffalo Bills – Nathan Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh – Grade: B-

This pick is fine. It’s better than the day 1/ day 2 hype we were hearing about him.

Trade: DEN/GB

65)  Denver Broncos from Green Bay – Isaiah McKenzie, WR, Georgia – Grade: A

66)  Pittsburgh Steelers – Brian Allen, CB, Utah – Grade: A+

Top 5 guy left on my board.

67)  Atlanta Falcons – Eric Saubert, TE, Drake – Grade: C+

Was never as high on Saubert as some. Not a bad player, don’t necessarily see the upside.

68)  Green Bay Packers from Denver – DeAngelo Yancey, WR, Purdue – Grade: A+

Love this kid. Should have been at the Combine. Hampered by bad QB play at Purdue.

69)  Cincinnati Bengals – J.J. Dielman, C, Utah – Grade: B

Good center, needs to get healthy, but the Bengals needed bodies and talent on the line.

70)  San Francisco 49ers – Trent Taylor, WR, Louisiana Tech – Grade: A+

Extremely productive slot guy for La Tech. Big strong kid. Good asset for Kyle Shanahan now.

71)  Miami Dolphins – Dalvin Godchaux, Int, LSU - Grade: C+

Great upside, but needs to put it all together.

72)  Arizona Cardinals – T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina – Grade: B+

Good compliment to Johnson in Arizona. Should be better at the next level than backfield mate Hood.

73)  Minnesota Vikings – Danny Isadora, OG, Miami (FL) – Grade: B

Upside, helps to add depth that is absolutely needed in the 612.

74)  New York Jets –  Dylan Donahue, OBLB, West Georgia – Grade: C

75)  Green Bay Packers – Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay – Grade: A+

Love you Ted. Never doubted you you’re the best.

76)  Kansas City Chiefs – Ukeme Eligwe, OBLB, Georgia Southern – Grade: A

77)  Philadelphia Eagles – Nate Gerry, S, Nebraska – Grade: A+

Round 6

78)  Cleveland Browns – Caleb Brantley, Int, Florida – Grade: D+

Not as big of a fan of Brantley but if he becomes what many think he can, this is a steal. Also bump this pick down a letter grade because of a recent incident in a Florida bar.

79)  Baltimore Ravens – Chuck Clark, S, Virginia Tech – Grade: A+

80)  Seattle Seahawks – Mike Tyson, S, Cincinnati – Grade: A-

81)  New York Jets – Elijah McGuire, RB, UL-Lafayette – Grade: B+

Personal favorite but there are certainly questions about his athleticism.

82)  Los Angeles Rams – Tanzel Smart, Int, Tulane – Grade: A+

Highly productive kid out of Tulane.

83)  Los Angeles Chargers – Sam Tevi, OT, Utah – Grade: B+

I like the lottery ticket on Tevi here. He certainly has the upside.

Trade: DAL/NYJ

84)  Dallas Cowboys from New York (A) – Xavier Woods, S, Louisiana Tech – Grade: A+

Dallas just got the 66^th player on my board and a pretty darn good safety as well.

85)  Carolina Panthers – Alex Armah, Edge, West Georgia – Grade: D

86)  Cincinnati Bengals – Jordan Evans, OBLB, Oklahoma – Grade: A+

Evans was a very productive part of the Oklahoma defense. And the 87^th player on my big board.

87)  Miami Dolphins – Vincent Taylor, Int, Oklahoma State – Grade: A+

Taylor has questions, but a DT that can move like he can is worth more to me than the 194^th pick.

88)  Buffalo Bills – Tanner Vallejo, OBLB, Boise State – Grade: A-

89)  New Orleans Saints – Al-Quadin Muhammad, Edge, Miami (FL) – Grade: D+

Muhammad was supposed to be an athletic guy who got dismissed from Miami. He didn’t test well. So he’s a less than freaky athletic kid who got kicked off a mediocre ACC team. Best of luck and hopefully he has his life in order, but there are better edge prospects out there.

90)  New York Jets – Jeremy Clark, CB, Michigan – Grade: D

Combine invite, but I had a UDFA grade on him.

91)  San Francisco 49ers – D.J. Jones, Int, Ole Miss – Grade: A+

2^nd best interior guy on the board. Athletic and productive but consistency concerns are persistently pesky.

Trade: WAS/MIN

92)  Washington Redskins from Minnesota – Chase Roullier, C, Wyoming – Grade: A+

Love this pick. A center who can move and played well in his 41 career starts at Wyoming.

Trade: NYG/TEN

93)  New York Giants from Tennessee – Adam Bisnowaty, OT, Pittsburgh – Grade: D+

Perfect Giants tackle pick. Slow feat, probably can’t move well enough to shuffle inside to guard.

94)  Minnesota Vikings from Washington – Bucky Hodges, TE, Virginia Tech – Grade: A+

I have no idea why this player is still here. He’s not an in-line TE right now andhe should be a great seam threat for the Vikings.

95)  San Francisco 49ers – Pita Taumoepenu, Edge, Utah – Grade: B-

96)  Denver Broncos – De’Angelo Henderson, RB, Coastal Carolina – Grade: A+

Loved watching him during the process, he’s a big bodied, quick footed back.

97)  New York Jets – Derrick Jones, CB, Ole Miss – Grade: B-

98)  Detroit Lions – Jeremiah Ledbetter, Edge, Arkansas – Grade: A+

I may be wrong about Ledbetter, but he’s got great athleticism and the Lions got my 22^nd rated player at 206.

99)  Los Angeles Rams – Sam Rogers, FB, Virginia Tech – Grade: B-

The Rams got my only starting caliber FB.

Trade: CIN/TEN

100)                   Cincinnati Bengals from Tennessee from New York (N) – Brandon Wilson, CB, HOU – Grade: A+

Wilson was 94 on my big board coming into the draft.

Trade: ARI/OAK

101)                   Arizona Cardinals from Oakland – Jonathan Ford, S, Auburn – Grade: A+

102)                   Washington Redskins – Robert Davis, WR, Georgia State – Grade: A-

103)                   Seattle Seahawks – Justin Senior, OT, Mississippi State – Grade: D

At least Seattle went OL, but I had a UDFA grade on Senior.

Trade: NE/DAL

104)                   New England Patriots from Dallas – Connor McDermott, OT, UCLA – Grade: A+

Went to look when I saw NE on the board. Got to the top of my best remaining and new who it’d be. I had Connor at 35 overall. Hate you Bill. Love you Bill.

105)                   Green Bay Packers – Kofi Amichia, OT, USF – Grade: D-

Didn’t have Amichia on my board.

106)                   Pittsburgh Steelers – Colin Holba, LS, Louisville – Grade: D-

Don’t rank specialists on my board.

107)                   Philadelphia Eagles – Elijah Qualls, Int, Washington – Grade: A

108)                   Detroit Lions – Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami (FL) – Grade: B

109)                   Dallas Cowboys from New England – Marquez White, CB, Florida State – Grade: C+

110)                   Tennessee Titans from Cincinnati – Corey Levin, G, UT Chattanooga – Grade: A+

Man, I know he played at UT-Chattanooga, but he can play and he tested like an NFL starter.

111)                   Kansas City Chiefs – Leon McQuay, S, USC – Grade: C+

Round 7

112)                   Minnesota Vikings – Stacy Coley, WR, Miami (FL) – Grade: B-

113)                   Minnesota Vikings – Ifeadi Odenigbo, Edge, Northwestern – Grade: A

114)                   Oakland Raiders – Shalom Luani, S, Washington State – Grade: A+

115)                   Jacksonville Jaguars – Jalen Myrick, CB, Minnesota – Grade: A+

Trades: TB/MIA

116)                   Tampa Bay Buccaneers from Miami – Stevie Tu’ikolovatu, Int, USC – Grade: C+

117)                   Cleveland Browns – Zane Gonzalez, K, Arizona State – Grade: C-

I mean he’s the second kicker and it’s two rounds later than the D-.

118)                   Los Angeles Chargers – Isaac Rochell, Int, Notre Dame – Grade: A

119)                   Seattle Seahawks – David Moore, WR, East Central – Grade: C+

120)                   Tennessee Tians – Josh Carraway, OBLB, TCU – Grade: C+

121)                   Dallas Cowboys – Joey Ivie, Int, Florida – Grade: C+

122)                   San Francisco 49ers – Adrian Colbert, CB, Miami (FL) – Grade: B-

123)                   Washington Redskins – Josh Harvey-Clemons, S, Louisville – Grade: D

Harvey-Clemons tested extremely poorly. I’m intrigued to see if he can develop at the next level.

124)                   Oakland Raiders – Jylan Ware, OT, Alabama State – Grade: C+

125)                   Minnesota Vikings – Elijah Lee, OBLB, Kansas State – Grade: C+

126)                   Carolina Panthers – Harrison Butker, K, Georgia Tech – Grade: D

127)                   Los Angeles Rams – Ejuan Price, Edge, Pittsburgh – Grade: A+

Injuries dropped him a long way, but Price is an undersized edge player who was very productive for the Pitt Panthers.

128)                   Washington Redskins – Joshua Holsey, CB, Auburn – Grade: A-

129)                   Tennessee Titans – Brad Seaton, OT, Villanova – Grade: D+

130)                   Miami Dolphins – Isaiah Ford, WR, Virginia Tech – Grade: A+

I mean there is too great of upside here not to love this pick.

131)                   Green Bay Packers – Devante Mays, RB, Utah State – Grade: B+

132)                   Dallas Cowboys – Noah Brown, WR, Ohio State – Grade: A+

Would have thought he’d eventually be a 1^st round pick after last season, but a rough season and he came out. Lots of talent here, and physically gifted, Brown just needs to put it all together.

133)                   Jacksonville Jaguars – Marquez Williams, FB, Miami (FL) – Grade: C+

Had a potential starter grade on Williams. Worth a flyer.

134)                   Tennessee Titans – Khalfani Muhammad, RB, California – Grade: B-

135)                   Oakland Raiders – Elijah Hood, RB, North Carolina – Grade: B+

136)                   Houston Texans – Kyle Fuller, C, Baylor – Grade: A+

137)                   Oakland Raiders – Treyvon Hester, Int, Toledo – Grade: B-

I’m mixed on this. Hester was productive at Toledo, but was unable to test this off-season which is why dropped on my board.

138)                   Minnesota Vikings – Jack Tocho, CB, North Carolina State – Grade: A

139)                   Dallas Cowboys – Jordan Carrell, Int, Colorado – Grade: A-

140)                   Green Bay Packers – Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU – Grade: B

I’m intrigued. Last year if you told me Dupre would go to the Packers in the 7^th and I would have been extremely excited.

141)                   Pittsburgh Steelers – Keion Adams, Edge, Western Michigan – Grade: A-

142)                   Seattle Seahawks – Chris Carson, RB, Oklahoma State – Grade: C+

143)                   Detroit Lions – Pat O’Connor, Edge, Eastern Michigan – Grade: A-

144)                   Cincinnati Bengals – Mason Schreck, TE, Buffalo – Grade: A

145)                   Cleveland Browns – Matthew Dayes, RB, NC State – Grade: C+

Never had the same level of excitement for Dayes that many did. Will be a fun player to watch early in the season.

146)                   Denver Broncos – Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss – Grade: A+

This keeps him from slipping away as a UDFA and gives the Broncos a QB with a lot of upside for relatively cheap.

So there we are that's all my initial grades for the 2017 NFL Draft. I will have trade grades and grades for every team in a day or two. It takes some time to put together and format all the information.
