2018 NFL Draft: Round 4-6 Grades

I should note that you won’t see many (any) grades below a C- on day three from me and most will be B- or higher. The fact of the matter is that Day 3 picks are lottery tickets and although I’ll have different valuations at this point in the draft there aren’t really wrong answers just chances taken.

Ian Thomas

CAR
A+
Thomas was one of my best remaining and a TE that I think has a lot of upside and should be able to make an impact in both the run and pass game.

Coutee is an explosive slot that makes the Houston passing game even more explosive and scary.

Nelson is the opposite he’s not a flashy athlete and he’s a touch undersized but he’s a physical corner who held his own against the top competition in the Big Ten.

I for some reason took Street off my board when he had knee injury in a private workout. That was a mistake and Street goes to SF in what could be one of the steals of the draft.
