The Commanders and the District of Columbia have come to terms on an agreement, although specifics were not immediately announced. Previous reports floated a price tag of more than $3 billion.

The team is under contract to remain at its current home, Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., until the 2027 season but can stay longer pending a move. Commanders owner Josh Harris indicated previously that he wants the team in a new home by 2030.

The franchise, then known as the Redskins, played at RFK Stadium from 1961 to 1996. They won three Super Bowls in a 10-year span, ending with a 37-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills in 1992.

NBC4 television in Washington reported earlier this month that the team would pay as much as $2.5 billion, with the District of Columbia contributing $850 million. The D.C. Council would have to approve the use of taxpayer money, and its members have reportedly been at odds over whether to do so.

Demolition of RFK Stadium began in 2022.

Renfrow, 29, was out of the NFL last season after being released by the Raiders on March 13, 2024.

He made the Pro Bowl with 103 receptions for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021 but played a diminished role the next two seasons with a combined 61 catches for 585 yards and two scores in 27 games.

Renfrow has 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 TDs in 73 games (23 starts) since the Raiders drafted him in the fifth round in 2019 out of Clemson, where he helped the Tigers win national championships in the 2016 and 2018 seasons.

The Panthers' depth at wide receiver includes veteran Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette and the No. 8 overall pick in Thursday's draft, Tetairoa McMillan.

The Jaguars didn't divulge terms but ESPN reported the veteran pass rusher landed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million.

Ogbah, 31, has 47.5 career sacks in 123 games (87 starts) over the past nine seasons. He recorded his career best of nine sacks in back-to-back seasons (2020 and 2021) for the Miami Dolphins.

Last season, Ogbah had 49 tackles, five sacks and one forced fumble in 16 games (all starts) in his fifth and final season with Miami.

Ogbah was a second-round pick in 2016 by the Cleveland Browns after playing collegiately at Oklahoma State. He spent three seasons with the Browns and one with the Kansas City Chiefs before joining the Dolphins as a free agent.

Overall, Ogbah has 50 tackles for loss and 112 quarterback hits. He has 317 tackles, nine forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

Ogbah joins a Jacksonville front line that includes two-time Pro Bowler Josh Hines-Allen (53 career sacks) and 2022 No. 1 overall draft pick Travon Walker (team-high 10.5 sacks last season).

A brief video posted on social media showed Sanders taking a call from someone claiming to be Saints general manager Mickey Loomis.

"How you doing, man?" the caller asked.

"Good," Sanders responded. "Been waiting on you."

The caller claims the Saints will take him with their next pick, then suggests Sanders is "gonna have to wait a little bit longer." After the call ends, Sanders appears uncertain about what just transpired.

The second-team All-American wound up waiting until the fifth round, when the Cleveland Browns drafted him with the 144th pick overall.

The primary question is how the caller obtained Sanders' private number. He had just received the phone from Boost Mobile on behalf of the league -- and only NFL personnel were supposed to have his number.

Not that Sanders seemed too concerned.

"It didn't really have an impact on me," Sanders told reporters Saturday. "... I think of course it was childish. Of course, I feel like it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there."

Sanders was not the only 2025 NFL Draft prospect who received a prank call. Fox Sports reported that Penn State tight end Tyler Warren received a call several picks before he was selected 14th overall by the Indianapolis Colts.

If that name sounds familiar, well, it should.

Muhsin Muhammad, his father, ranks second in the franchise's history in catches (696), receiving yards (9,255) and receiving touchdowns (50) while playing for the Panthers from 1996-2004. The two-time Pro Bowl selection also was the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award recipient for 1999.

The younger Muhammad totaled 81 catches for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns during four seasons with Texas A&M.

He joins a wide receiver room that includes Tetairoa McMillan, who was selected by Carolina with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arizona. The Panthers also picked Colorado receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. in the sixth round.

Maybe the March for Arch will be fruitful, bringing fortune to an NFL team that flops early and never recovers in 2025.

Arch Manning is the No. 1-ranked player projected to be available in the 2026 draft next April. But the spring preseason draft board and the version nailed down approximately 11 months from now won't be carbon copies.

Not only is Manning a massive projection given his relative inexperience, there is more than enough time for another quarterback -- or playmaker, a la Travis Hunter -- to emerge as the best of the Class of 2026.

Here are names to know entering the 2025 college football season:

1. QB Arch Manning, Texas

Junior in 2025

Bloodlines for days with a pair of uncles in Eli and Peyton who were drafted No. 1 and a grandpa picked No. 2 by the Saints in 1978, the cameo appearances we've witnessed at Texas point to potential greatness from the next Manning progeny. He's the best athlete of them all and shares the QB bloodhound instincts of his famous uncles with athletic traits reminiscent of grandpa Archie. Need we say more? Inexperience stands as the lone question. But we'll have an answer very soon as Arch Manning replaces Quinn Ewers in Austin. In a nutshell, he can make every throw and run a little, too.

2. S Caleb Downs, Ohio State

Junior in 2025

"Special" only starts to tell the story with Downs, our top-ranked defensive player in 2026 entering the upcoming season. We can keep up the talk about bloodlines with Downs, too. Dad, Gary, was a running back in the NFL. Caleb is the nephew of former NFL cornerback Dre Bly and younger brother of Colts WR Josh Downs. Caleb Downs transferred from Alabama after a standout freshman season to play at Ohio State. The do-it-all safety grabbed the spotlight. His football IQ and processing are uncanny. He can dominate in single-high with physicality and playmaking or win in the box. He's a potential top-5 pick.

3. OT Francis Mauigoa, Miami

Junior in 2025

Squarely built right tackle prospect with a blend of explosive power, body control and rare athleticism for a 6-6, 320-pound force of nature. Former five-star recruit has met expectations since starting for the Hurricanes as a freshman. Coaches praise his drive, rapid development and attention to detail. If he's not the first offensive tackle selected with the No. 1 pick since Eric Fisher in 2013, we're positive he won't be waiting long.

4. DL T.J. Parker, Clemson

Junior in 2025

Menacing pass rusher (16.5 career sacks) ended the season with seven sacks in the Tigers' final six games. Parker gives the Tigers an anchor on one of the best defensive lines in the country. Had he been available in 2025, Parker would've been in the conversation as the top pass rusher in the draft. He should reign terror on opposing quarterbacks for years to come.

5. DL Rueben Bain Jr., Miami

Junior in 2025

Bain has 11 sacks in his first two seasons and didn't play four games last season because of a calf injury. His upside is undeniable and practice reps head-to-head with the top-ranked OT on this list won't hurt his development as a power end with potential to duck inside in some schemes.

6. Edge Keldric Faulk, Auburn

Junior in 2025

Cloaked in huge expectations and already a physically imposing monster for a defensive end, Faulk is listed at 6-6, 275, and is only 20 years old entering the college football season. He had 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks in 2024.

7. QB Garrett Nussmeier, LSU

Senior in 2025

Another Clipboard U graduate in the Southeastern Conference, Nussmeier waited for his opportunity for what seemed like ages at LSU. He'll be 24 in February 2026, which some teams might overplay as a downside. Most of them would've loved to have Nussmeier's predecessor, NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels in 2024. He turns 25 in December.

8. CB Ashton Stamps, LSU

Junior in 2025

He's a do-it-all cornerback the Tigers trust on an island because of his ability to lock down any assignment. Excellent physicality and mirroring ability to handle press or man coverage with the speed and instincts to make plays in zone. Should be highly touted and climbs this list by simply maintaining current trajectory.

9. DT Peter Woods, Clemson

Junior in 2025

Another force up front for the Tigers, Woods played most of last season at defensive end and was unblockable at times. He weighs over 300 pounds but only the scale knows. Clemson uses him anywhere and everywhere on the front seven, underscoring rare athleticism at his size. His pro potential is through the roof. With Woods playing alongside T.J Parker., Clemson has one of the scariest tandems in football.

10. RB Nick Singleton, Penn State

Senior in 2025

Singleton could have been among the top three at running back in the 2025 draft had he declared, but he stayed to chase a championship. His combination of acceleration and power helps the Penn State offense thrive.

--Here's a couple of dozen more intriguing prospects we'll be studying before the 2026 draft:

DL Aaron Graves, Iowa

Senior in 2025

Film junkies should rewatch the Washington game from 2024. Strong and anchored in the lower half, his background in wrestling is evident in an uncanny ability to maintain ground. Add his name to the long list of hard-nosed and disciplined defenders out of Iowa City.

DT Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State

Redshirt Senior in 2025

Massive nose tackle prospect has production and athleticism to ace pre-draft tests. He contributes in the passing game, which means scheme diversity to be a fit for every team. With more refinement, Jackson has the traits to be a playmaker inside.

LB Harold Perkins, LSU

Senior in 2025

Undersized but scrappy player who can win as a pass rusher with the athleticism to make plays in space. One of the most dominant defenders in the FBS with a knack for making an impact. Coming off of a torn ACL last season, he should be back healthy and dominant in 2025.

DT Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati

Redshirt junior in 2025

Google Corleone to confirm: his hulking arms are nearly the same circumference of his massive legs. Or ask Chat GTP to show you the strongest defensive tackle in college football. Corleone's name percolated with evaluators for a few years, but he returned to school rather than cash in a Top 100 spot in April. He's quick with superhero power -- squat is over 600 pounds and deadlift of 700 -- and he's faster than you think. Where does he fit in the NFL? Pro teams always check on serious medical matters and Corleone's blood clot diagnosis in June 2024 will be scrutinized by doctors.

CB Domani Jackson, Alabama

Senior in 2025

After two seasons at Southern California, one year at Alabama made a notable difference in Jackson's play. He has elite traits, high-caliber athleticism and could get even better with another year of development. Jackson has a chance to go from potential first-round pick to a possible top-10 selection.

DT Bear Alexander, Oregon

Junior in 2025

Georgia to USC to Oregon, Keithian Alexander -- known as Bear -- was largely in hibernation with the Trojans in 2024. A one-time top recruit, he's a pass-rushing defensive tackle with can't-lose traits in one-on-one matchups inside. He has a combination of size and athleticism to be a top-10 pick if he's locked in during the 2025 season, which will be his first at Oregon.

LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State

Senior in 2025

Safety convert added some weight and moved toward the line of scrimmage. Instinctual player with the speed to cover running backs and tight ends on passing downs. Fun chess piece could be dangerous as he advances technique-wise.

CB Tacario Davis, Washington

Senior in 2025

Arizona transfer with plenty of hype and three seasons as a starter for the Wildcats. Long-limbed and can erase receivers on the outside but isn't shy about moving over the middle.

QB LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina

Junior in 2025

If you don't know Sellers' name, it's time to get SEC Network. He has a rocket for a throwing arm and enough athletic ability to be much more as he enters his second season as a starter.

S Rod Moore, Michigan

Senior in 2025

If Moore had entered the 2025 draft, he'd likely would have squarely in the first-round conversation. Athletic and intelligent, he can drop down to cover in the slot and handle man responsibilities. High praise regarding his leadership and splash play ability comes from coaches and opponents. He'll have some proving to do after he was injured in 2024.

DE Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State

Senior in 2025

Dennis-Sutton opted to return in the role of Nittany Lions' star pass rusher. A great run defender with an impressive frame, he has power to get through any blocker. Dennis-Sutton will be out to prove he was more than a beneficiary of playing opposite 2024 No. 3 pick Abdul Carter.

CB Davison Igbinosun, Ohio State

Senior in 2025

A key piece of the Ohio State secondary in 2024, he also drew a whopping 13 penalties. Grabby corners get benched in the NFL. Igbinosun has the size, physicality and athleticism teams are looking for if he breaks the handsy habits.

QB Carson Beck, Miami

Grad transfer in 2025

Beck spent years behind 2023 fourth-rounder Stetson Bennett IV and took advantage of his opportunity as a starter before injuring his right elbow in the SEC title game. A modern-day pocket passer with good accuracy, quick release and instincts to anticipate windows, he'll keep himself in the draft mix if health isn't a setback.

WR Nic Anderson, LSU

Redshirt junior in 2025

Anderson was a stud as a freshman at Oklahoma with 10 TD catches. But he has only six starts (17 games) under his belt. A 6-foot-4 target with a track background, he'll pair with a pro-caliber QB at LSU with a chance to prove his high ceiling and first-round projection.

TE Tanner Koziol, Wisconsin

Senior in 2025

Ball State transfer is built like a power forward with extremely long limbs. Exciting pass catcher with quick feet and solid awareness. Moving up in competition to the Big Ten will give him a chance to prove he's the top tight end in college football.

WR Antonio Williams, Clemson

Junior in 2025

Smooth route-runner with 17 career TD grabs. He opted to return for another season with Cade Klubnik.

RB Makhi Hughes, Oregon

Redshirt Junior in 2025

Hughes' choice to move up to Oregon from Tulane could make him a highly touted prospect as he replaces Jordan James. Great power and vision make him a true RB1.

DE Damon Wilson II, Missouri

Junior in 2025

Working rotationally at Georgia, Wilson opted to hit the portal after the 2024 season for a chance to be a primary defender in Missouri's pass rush. The versatile lineman can drop into coverage, set the edge, or break into the backfield on any given snap.

OG DJ Campbell, Texas

Senior in 2025

It was hard to acknowledge all the talent Texas had on the offensive line, but watch a few snaps and No. 52 stands out at right guard. Campbell has a great frame and body control to win at the point of attack and keep his jersey clean.

RB Anthony Hankerson, Oregon State

Senior in 2025

Hankerson is the ideal goal-line back. He runs with energy and contact balance reminiscent of Cowboys RB Javonte Williams.

S Michael Taaffe, Texas

Senior in 2025

An under-the-radar riser in 2024, Taaffe chose to return to the Longhorns to help the team's chances of claiming a national title. A former walk-on turned second-team All-American, his constant playmaking ability comes up big for the Longhorns.

LB Kyle Louis, Pitt

Junior in 2025

High-motor defender operates all over the field and always finds the football. Utilized as a pass rusher, run stopper, slot defender and much more and never looked out of place.

RB Eli Sanders, USC

Senior in 2025

Sanders lit up the competition at New Mexico and figures to do the same for the Trojans. He currently projects as a second- or third-round pick.

OG Ar'maj Reed-Adams, Texas A&M

Senior in 2025

Great blend of flexibility and power to match speed or strength on the interior. Tremendous frame with excellent body control. Another year developing his technique could have Reed-Adams as one of the top guard prospects in the class.

TE Max Klare, Ohio State

Junior in 2025

Purdue transfer consistently found ways to contribute in the quick passing attack. With defenses looking to limit Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate downfield, Klare should see opportunities to produce underneath.

TE Oscar Delp, Georgia

Senior in 2025

Had high expectations entering 2024 but Brock Bowers left enormous shoes to fill. With another year as the lead guy and a new QB, Delp has the tools to emerge as a top-50 prospect.

Grade: B+

Best Pick: QB Cameron Ward, No. 1 Overall

What We Liked: An all-around good draft for the Titans, who are putting together a crack offense in an attempt to actually win some games this year. Ward was the clear QB1 this year. His confidence and ability to handle lots of responsibilities will make the lives of his coordinators easier. Wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (No. 136) and tight end Gunnar Helm (No. 120) will be great support for Ward and provide reliable hands to help him get his rhythm going at the professional level. Safety Kevin Winston Jr. (No. 82) headlines the defensive picks for me. Though he was injured last year, he gave his all in 2023 and kept a day three slot because of it.

Not Sure About: I'm still not convinced Oluwafemi Oladejo (No. 52) is a real edge rusher. He just feels like a square peg being pushed into a round hole. I've mentioned the idea of "positionless defenses" but this guy has a position: It's just not the one he's playing at the moment. It also felt like a stretch to take wide receiver Chimere Dike (No. 103) in the fourth round, another speedster who does not do a lot else to provide value to the team.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Grade: B

Best Pick: CB/WR Travis Hunter, No. 2 Overall

What We Liked: That Travis Hunter trade was incredible. Getting two top-end weapons for the price of one is worth any amount of pick capital you have to pay to get up there. James Gladstone is making an incredible splash in his first year as a general manager with this trade and did lots of draft maneuvering that worked to his advantage. The pickup of guard Wyatt Milum (No. 89) solidifies the offensive line well, and running back Bhayshul Tuten (No. 104) should be a really strong dynamic duo with Tank Bigsby to take pressure off Trevor Lawrence.

Not Sure About: Hmm, lots of announcing guys who aren't going to play the

position they did in college, shifting over to somewhere else. Caleb Ransaw (No. 88) played all slot corner last year and is looking to be used at safety; Jalen McLeod (No. 194) got announced as a linebacker when his natural fit is as an edge rusher; and Milum is likely shifting from tackle to guard. If these guys don't do well at their next position, the Jaguars' depth class is pretty much toast.

New York Giants

Grade: C-

Best Pick: Edge Abdul Carter, No. 3 Overall

What we liked: Carter is a great player. Pairing him with Brian Burns will turn a middling edge rusher unit into a force to be reckoned with. Focusing on the defensive trenches was a good decision for the Giants, who despite having lots of talent, really only felt like they were getting halfway decent results. Picking up defensive tackle Darius Alexander (No. 65) to supplement Dexter Lawrence should play out well, too. That defense could easily become a top-10 unit next year with the added talent.

Not Sure About: I know when you see a guy who could be a franchise quarterback on the board, you should do anything to get him, but is Jaxson Dart (No. 25) really that guy? Not only did the Giants take a quarterback propped up by an incredibly friendly system, they traded up to get him. After the first read, Dart often crumbled. I'm not sure I can see a world where Dart takes the Giants any further than Daniel Jones did. At least Jones could push the ball all the way downfield.

New England Patriots

Grade: A+

Best Pick: C Jared Wilson, No. 95 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of rock-solid picks building in Mike Vrabel's first year as the head coach. The offensive line is molding into more of a unit than a

series of disparate parts, the Patriots have a new running back in TreVeyon

Henderson (No. 38) who can hopefully carry the workload. Wide receiver Kyle Williams (No. 69) gives quarterback Drake Maye one more weapon. This feels like a draft driven by logic and smart team-building.

Not Sure About: It was a little early for safety Craig Woodson (No. 106) for my liking. Woodson has trouble run-stopping and struck me as more of a developmental player than a solution to a safety problem. Other than that, nothing to complain about.

Cleveland Browns:

Grade: B

Best Pick: Harold Fannin Jr., No. 67 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of talented guys made their way onto the Browns roster through this class. It's a very productive group that isn't lacking in potential. Defensive tackle Mason Graham (No. 5) plays with a fury that should scare opponents, the new running back duo of Quinshon Judkins (No. 36) and Dylan Sampson (No. 126) has a lot of athleticism and should create a nice one-two punch. Fannin adds a dynamic weapon to the receiving corps that can be used in a wealth of ways. The support system for whoever is playing quarterback is going to be boosted.

Not Sure About: There's an old adage that if you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. Forcing a Dillon Gabriel (No. 94) vs. Shedeur Sanders (No. 144) quarterback competition seems like a move that will ultimately cause distractions. It's classic Browns, never able to quite solve the quarterback problem as they intend to, and always with more drama than necessary. Carson Schwesinger (No. 33) also got taken a little early for my liking, but the value at linebacker in the second round wasn't there for anyone.

Las Vegas Raiders:

Grade: A+

Best Pick: RB Ashton Jeanty, No. 6 Overall

What We Liked: The Raiders got a blue-chip guy at six, hard to argue with

that. Jeanty is a big-time impact player for a team that never really had an

offense that chugged. However, one great pick does not make an A+ draft

class. The Raiders knocked it out of the park with virtually every pick. Their

new wide receiver room combines high-floor prospects like Jack Bech (No. 58) with big-upside swings like Dont'e Thornton Jr. (No. 108). Their two offensive linemen picks are both big-time athletes who could start early. Darien Porter (No. 68) may be old for a draft pick, but he's the perfect Pete Carroll corner. Raiders fans, get excited.

Not Sure About: The two late defensive tackle picks don't really have any

special skills and have limited upside. I would expect them to be rotational

players at best. If JJ Pegues (No. 180) starts getting reps at fullback, then get worried about these being wasted picks. I personally would have added a safety earlier, but that's a nitpick on a top-tier draft class.

New York Jets

Grade: B

Best Pick: OT Armand Membou, No. 7 Overall

What We Liked: The Jets hit home runs with their first three selections. Membou can bring his athleticism to an offensive line that really needed only one more piece and create a rushing powerhouse for quarterback Justin Fields and running back Breece Hall. Tight end Mason Taylor (No. 42) sets Fields up with a quick dump-off weapon and with with good run-after-catch ability. Cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (No. 73) does great work in both zone and man and should quickly become part of the rotation. It's now up to the free agent class to make it work.

Not Sure About: The day three selections were nothing to write home about. Wide receiver Arian Smith (No. 110) is very fast, but when it's not game-breaking and it's your main trait, it's hard to be too impressed. Safety Malachi Moore is also a good athlete, but he doesn't quite have the mental finesse to keep pass-catchers in his view consistently. Linebacker Francisco Mauigoa (No. 162) is good, but where will he play?

Carolina Panthers

Grade: B+

Best Pick: Edge Nic Scourton, No. 51 Overall

What We Liked: Getting two edge rushers (Scourton and Princely Umanmielen at No. 77) feels like a great maneuver to fill out the room. Especially adding Scourton to the mix, a crazy good power rusher whose hands will make waste to offensive lines across the southeast. The Panthers hit on all of their day three picks as well, especially Lathan Ransom (No. 122) and Cam Jackson (No. 140), who can make an immediate impact at safety and nose tackle. The depth on the team just got a lot stronger.

Not Sure About: It feels like the Panthers already have a lot of tall wideouts who can't really separate consistently. Tetairoa McMillan (No. 8) does not add much to the room that quarterback Bryce Young doesn't already have. Umanmielen doesn't move me as an edge rusher, and while he isn't a bad value in the third round, it doesn't strengthen their bid for the NFC South. Running back might have been a higher priority.

New Orleans Saints

Grade: D

Best Pick: OT Kelvin Banks, No. 9 Overall

What We Liked: Banks is a good tackle who fits the mauling mold the Saints seem to look for. He feels a lot like Trevor Penning, but with more experience facing NFL talent and less frenzy. Jonas Sanker (No. 93) can fill a safety slot once their older guys age out, and he's versatile enough where you can evaluate his strengths and slot a new guy in next to him pretty easily. Quincy Riley (No. 131) adds some speed to the cornerback room.

Not Sure About: Taking Tyler Shough (No. 40) is just begging to have the Brandon Weeden experience for yourself. If this is your plan at quarterback, you'll be taking another big swing in 2026. It's not like they have given him any support this year either. If the Saints had given him an earlier wideout, then perhaps it could be fine, but if the injuries return, it honestly could be an 0-17 season.

Chicago Bears:

Grade: A-

Best Pick: OT Ozzy Trapilo, No. 56 Overall

What We Liked: The Bears kept a good balance of need and overall player

value for much of the draft. Starting off with tight end Colston Loveland (No. 10) was a welcome surprise, as much of the buzz was around the inferior (sorry) Tyler Warren. Continuing to support Caleb Williams, the next two picks were another weapon in wide receiver Luther Burden III, who can really cook with the ball in his hands, and added protection from Trapilo. Their defensive picks mostly landed as well with defensive tackle Shemar Turner (No. 62) and cornerback Zah Frazier (No. 169) being high-floor prospects with decent athleticism and physicality.

Not Sure About: That pick of linebacker Ruben Hyppolite (No. 132) was an insane miscue. It was sort of like acing a history test and then writing gibberish on one of the essay questions. Does anyone outside of the Maryland fan base and obsessive pro day watchers like myself even know who Hyppolite is? Surely they could have gotten him later. The Bears don't even really need a linebacker, which means they must have really loved this guy. Very odd pick from an otherwise very logical set of selections.

San Francisco 49ers:

Grade: C

Best Pick: LB Nick Martin, No. 75 Overall

What We Liked: Coach Mike Shanahan found some very good value outside of the first round. Martin was vastly underrated after getting injured early in the season, but he should bring sideline-to-sideline range that he couples with great instincts. Jordan Watkins (No. 138) has WR1 upside but at the very least projects as a WR2 for the offense. He was almost an Emeka Egbuka type in college who kept getting pushed by really impressive talents and not given a chance to shine.

Not Sure About: The first two rounds made me shrug. Edge Mykel Williams (11) is better on paper than on the field, but this isn't a Strat-O-Matic game. Defensive tackle Alfred Collins (43) doesn't have the strength or agility to be a game-wrecker, so the whole defensive line feels stagnant. There's still a glaring hole at offensive tackle that needs more capital investment.

Dallas Cowboys:

Grade: C+

Best Pick: CB Shavon Revel Jr., No. 76 Overall

What We Liked: The Revel pick was impressive value for the spot. The once-incredible Cowboys cornerback room took a major step back, and Ravel should be able to make it afloat again. Guard Tyler Booker (No. 12) is a really good player who fits with the scheme of the Cowboys with his overwhelming power profile. The Cowboys addressed the majority of their needs and at least should have new competition at the spot.

Not Sure About: Can edge Donovan Ezeiruaku (No. 44) keep up his high production in the pros when he's at an athletic disadvantage? The value is better in the second than his first-round projection, but it still is a worrying projection. Running back Jaydon Blue does not seem equipped to take on a bell cow role and feels like more of a special teams add.

Miami Dolphins:

Grade: C

Best Pick: DT Kenneth Grant, No. 13 Overall

What We Liked: Effort was made to replace the big-time players who have

left Miami for greener pastures. Grant is clearly meant to be the

next force up the middle, similar to how Christian Wilkins operated for the

Dolphins, and safety Dante Trader Jr. (No. 155) is kind of like if you got Jevon Holland from the 99-cent store: lots of strong play with a much lower paycheck attached. Guard Jonah Savaiinaea (No. 37) feels like one more step in the right direction to fixing an offensive line that has led to Tua Tagovailoa concussions. The needs are being addressed.

Not Sure About: Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (No. 143) was a prospect that got first-round hype early in the cycle, but that tapered off when everyone realized that rumors of his athleticism were greatly exaggerated. Even the fifth round feels out of the range I would want someone of his production caliber. Cornerback Jason Marshall Jr. (No. 150) is a similar former high-upside project player who just never did much of anything. Miami needs some players who can actually make an impact --

outside of their offense, they lack star power.

Indianapolis Colts

Grade: B+

Best Pick: RB DJ Giddens, No. 151 Overall

What We Liked: The Chris Ballard strategy of taking exclusively pure athletes seems to have cooled off, as now Ballard is taking guys who also play good football. After a few years of middling draft classes, this is a group of guys you can feel confident in. Tight end Tyler Warren (No. 14) will provide more ways to ease Anthony Richardson's quarterback responsibilities, and edge JT Tuimoloau (No. 45) and cornerback Justin Walley (No. 80) are good enough athletes but really excel in technical skill. The best pick, though, is Giddens in the fifth round. He has a balanced skill set that could make him a great supplement to Jonathan Taylor and even potentially be a full-time starter.

Not Sure About: Tim Smith seems to have been picked because he's an Alabama defensive tackle. Really just another body for that rotation. I'm not

in love with the Warren pick, either. As dynamic as he was at the

college level, I'm not sure an offense can really be built around him in the pros without his athletic limitations showing through. Adding Riley Leonard (No. 189) to the quarterback room when he mostly just runs feels underwhelming for a team that's sorely missing an actual passer.

Atlanta Falcons

Grade: B-

Best Pick: S Xavier Watts, No. 96 Overall

What we liked: The selections were impressive values in comparison to consensus. Edge Jalon Walker (No. 15) was seen by many as a potential top 10 pick thanks to his explosive nature; the testing numbers of edge James Pearce Jr. (No. 26) make his potential impressive, and getting Watts at the back half of day two after a slide could change their secondary. The values on these guys was impressive, and the Falcons betting on upside is a great choice in a weak division where any team could cement itself as the front-runner for the next five years. If these players pan out along with quarterback Michael Penix Jr., they could be a perennial playoff team.

Not Sure About: Trading up with a future first-round pick for a player at a position you already took in the top 15 feels like a poor use of resources. That defensive line certainly needed sprucing up, but it only matters so much if they're not getting any interior pressure, and they certainly did not invest in defensive tackle as many expected. Not only that, they doubled up on doubling up. They took two safeties too! There are more holes on the roster than that! Solve your other problems!

Arizona Cardinals

Grade: A

Best Pick: CB Will Johnson, No. 47 Overall

What We Liked: Everything. The Cardinals went for the best football player available at every turn, from ending the surprising fall to the second round for cornerback Will Johnson (No. 47) to their first pick of Walter Nolen (No. 16), who got some of the best production of any defensive tackle in the SEC.

Even their day two and three selections were great choices, taking edge Jordan Burch (No. 78), who performed admirably at Oregon, and Cody Simon (No. 115), who led the linebacker corps for Ohio State. I had Burch as a top 50 guy, and Simon as one of the most underrated linebackers in the class. It solves a lot of problems for them very quickly.

Not Sure About: While these picks are great value, they all come with some caveats. Nolen has alleged character issues, Johnson has some grievous medical history, and Burch could accurately be described as a tweener. Plus, some earlier help for quarterback Kyler Murray would have been nice.

Cincinnati Bengals

Grade: B-

Best Pick: Edge Shemar Stewart, No. 17 Overall

What We Liked: Stewart has an impressive physical profile that should pair well with Trey Hendrickson coming off the line. The Bengals need a big splash after stagnating after their Super Bowl run, and they need more than a firecracker offense to get closer to the playoffs next year. Even their offensive additions should help keep Burrow stable, with guard Dylan Fairchild No. 81) as a high-floor guard prospect who has lots of experience. Linebacker Barrett Carter (No. 119) feels like a potential steal as well.

Not Sure About: Two linebackers feels like a bit much considering Germaine Pratt is a decent starter, although Pratt has requested a trade. Especially since I'm not sold on Demetrius Knight Jr. (No. 49), who was a late bloomer at South Carolina and does not appear to have much more room to grow as a player. Fairchild is a solid interior lineman, but he doesn't project to be a long-term starter and may just continue the revolving door for the Bengals.

Seattle Seahawks

Grade: A-

Best Pick: S Nick Emmanwori, No. 35 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of jumping on the fallers, a strategy that will always get my approval. Emmanwori and tight end Elijah Arroyo (No. 50) specifically feel like players who fell more based on happenstance than actual inferior play. I like this as a landing spot for quarterback Jalen Milroe, too (No. 92) -- give him a chance to learn behind Sam Darnold and get up to speed with NFL play, hopefully allow him to reach that untapped upside everyone was excited about. Getting guard Grey Zabel at No. 18 also feels like a good move for a team that was putting out turnstiles on the interior.

Not Sure About: I don't feel particularly confident in most of the Day 3 flyers, even wide receiver Tory Horton, who was once considered a Day 2 guy. It feels like he's a really big injury risk. The others just aren't particularly talented, with tight end Robbie Ouzts (No. 39) and defensive tackle Rylie Mills (No. 142) being the least interesting of the bunch, two guys who have the build of NFL players but not really the skills to back it up. I don't have confidence in any of these guys to be regular contributors.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Grade: A-

Best Pick: CB Jacob Parrish, No. 84 Overall

What We Liked: The Buccaneers are really ready to fix what didn't work for them last year, investing heavily in a barren cornerback room and new edge rotational players. Cornerback Benjamin Morrison (No. 53) and Parrish could be a scary duo on the outside and slot, respectively. Emeka Egbuka (No. 19) brings a young face to an aging wide receiver room and could easily become the next Chris Godwin.

Not Sure About: Edge David Walker (No. 121) does not have extensive FBS experience and did not shine at the all-star games, so it feels like a major projection to picture him sticking around as a continuous edge rusher. Could an earlier edge pick and a later wideout selection have set the 49ers up more for immediate success? It's something to think about for sure. They need only so much from Egbuka considering the capital they spent.

Denver Broncos

Grade: C

Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall

What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think edge Sai'vion Jones (No. 101) could work in quickly as a third pass rusher.

Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. Running back RJ Harvey (No. 60) does not have a standout trait and plays slower than his tested speed. Spending a second-round pick on a guy who doesn't elevate your running back room is a problem. Wide receiver Pat Bryant (No. 74) feels like a guy head coach Sean Payton over-drafted for his blocking ability, but in the third round, it feels like he should have focused on players that can also catch and run with the ball.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Grade: C-

Best Pick: DT Derrick Harmon, No. 21 overall

What We Liked: Lots of big, strong men in this draft. Harmon and Yahya Black (No. 164) shore up the defensive tackle room, giving quick fixes to one-tech and three-tech, hopefully opening up edge rusher T.J. Watt and linebacker Alex Highsmith to converting even more pressures into sacks. Kaleb Johnson (No. 83) feels like he provides the strength and vision coach Mike Tomlin loves from his running backs that he wasn't getting from Najee Harris. The traits are there that we associate with the Steelers, and it seems like the team has found guys that fit their standards.

Not Sure About: This draft feels like it does not solve the Steelers' problems. It's one thing to tap out on quarterback despite having many chances to add a starting-level body to the room (see Shedeur Sanders), but to not add competition at nickel or another pass-catcher until well into day three feels like the team took "take the best player available" just a little too far. The organization lost sight of what was necessary by chasing gritty strength guys and lacked finesse. Do they really need edge Jack Sawyer (No. 123)?

Los Angeles Chargers

Grade: B

Best Pick: WR Tre Harris, No. 55 Overall

What We Liked: The Chargers picked up lots of talented players. The selection of running back Omario Hampton (No. 22) should help the Chargers offense play more toward Jim Harbaugh's strengths as a coordinator who loves to pound the rock. Harris helps build out a wide receiver room for quarterback Justin Herbert, who I'm sure has been worried about a lack of support. The defensive line adds bring a

really high floor and good power profile to the defense that can hopefully

help the Chargers force more teams to lose yards instead of giving them

time to dink and dunk all over them.

Not Sure About: They have a lot of players I like, but no one in particular I

love. It feels like the Chargers have collected a bunch of low-end starters

here, but no stars that are going to truly elevate the team to the next level.

Edge Kyle Kennard (No. 125), defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell (No. 86) and Harris all don't really have the athletic juice to be game-breakers, and Harris seems more and more injured every season. Can Hampton's lack of creativity survive behind a line that still doesn't have a very strong interior?

Green Bay Packers

Grade: C-

Best Pick: WR Matthew Golden, No. 23 Overall

What We Liked: Golden at 23 was impressive value that would've had me salivating if I was a general manager. He should be the top target for quarterback Jordan Love instantly and finally provide an alpha presence to that room of complementary pieces. General manager Brian Gutekunst took need into account well and addressed nearly all the positions that were missing starting-level talent and injected youth into rooms that had lost veterans to free agency. The floor of that team at the very least has been raised.

Not Sure About: Nearly every pick after Golden felt like a reach. There was constantly better talent on the board, and it looks to me like Gutekunst was

more worried about scheme fit than actually getting the best players possible. Barryn Sorrell (No. 124) and Collin Oliver (No. 159) are good fits for how the Packers run their defense, but ultimately they just don't have the same natural talent as edge rushers who came off the board later. Wide receiver Savion Williams feels like an attempt to recapture the brief Christian Watson magic, but he has a lot of development still to come.

Minnesota Vikings

Grade: B+

Best Pick: WR Tai Felton, No. 102 Overall

What We Liked: Felton should come in as a great WR3 to give J.J. McCarthy a really easy time finding open receivers. The two early picks put their new quarterback (coming off an injury last year) in a good space to continue the trajectory that Sam Darnold put to good use. Guard Donovan Jackson (No. 24) will help McCarthy stay upright and could flex between guard or tackle depending on what the Vikings need. Defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (No. 139) provides a lot of athleticism and flexibility to a defensive line that needs more of it. They did the most with what they had.

Not Sure About: There should have been a stronger effort to get more picks in the class. The only trade made was a pick swap that still left them with only four picks. With the value as on point as it was this year, giving Kwesi Adofo-Mensah more darts to throw could have resulted in a boost to the team's ceiling. The move to get quarterback Sam Howell feels a little underwhelming for a backup option to McCarthy, and securing another rookie might have been a better long-term play. Cornerback not being addressed early means the problems from last year will continue.

Baltimore Ravens

Grade: B

Best Pick: Malaki Starks, No. 27 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of good value early. The Ravens continued their strategy of taking advantage of teams not valuing safety and have now created an imposing secondary between Starks and Kyle Hamilton. Edge Mike Green (No. 59) is a good upside play that far down the board. If even half of his college production translates to the professional level, he'll be an impact player for the Ravens. I like offensive tackle Emery Jones Jr. (No. 91) as well. He could secure a guard spot for the Ravens with a good training camp. Lots of potential impact here.

Not Sure About: There are too many guys here who haven't performed

against top-level competition. Offensive tackle Carson Vinson (No. 141) and cornerback Bilhal Kone (No. 178) aren't battle-tested and could really get exposed if they're thrown into the fire too early. Even cornerback Robert Longerbeam (No. 212) didn't have to handle too many top-end talents, and with his weight, I'm not sure his size outlier nature will be a positive at the next level. There are red flags to look out for here.

Detroit Lions

Grade: B-

Best Pick: OG Miles Frazier, No. 171 Overall

What We Liked: The Lions continue their emphasis on size after solid results. Defensive tackle Tyleik Williams (No. 28) is a big hog molly who can handle double teams with ease and should help build out a line that is hopefully less ravaged by injuries this year. Guard Tate Ratledge (No. 57) and Frazier build out a set of interior offensive linemen that could push to start as soon as the beginning of the season if Christian Mahogany doesn't pan out. It feels like the Lions found their needs early and stuck to their size requirements.

Not Sure About: Trading up with a future third-rounder to get wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (No. 70) feels like a classic Lions overthink. They love giving up lots of capital to get guys that weren't even on my radar as potential possibilities, and TeSlaa is no exception. A raw, overaged wideout is not worth multiple Day 2 picks, and I don't think he'll do much with the limited time he'll have at his disposal in the Lions' wide receiver room. Nor is Ahmed Hassanein (No. 196) a great fix at edge rusher.

Washington Commanders

Grade: A-

Best Pick: Josh Conerly Jr., No. 29 Overall

What We Liked: Great players all the way down. Conerly's explosive movement skills should make him a great fit for move-blocking and keeping a clean pocket for Jayden Daniels whether he chooses to scramble or not. Cornerback Trey Amos (No. 61) deserved to be taken in the first round and should boost the secondary and help them recover from their early 2023 choice of Emmanuel Forbes. Even their late-round picks of wide receiver Jaylin Lane (No. 128) and linebacker Kain Medrano (No. 205) stand to make an impact with their impressive athleticism.

Not Sure About: The Commanders could have paid a little closer attention to need, as they neglected an empty edge room and did not address the back end of their secondary. While I love Conerly, he may be getting thrown into the fire here before developing as an anchor, which could come back to bite the Commanders as they plan for the future, especially if they move him from his natural position of offensive tackle.

Buffalo Bills

Grade: A-

Best Pick: DT T.J. Sanders, No. 41 Overall

What We Liked: Incredible value outside the first round. Their three players

after their first pick all had first-round buzz at some point in the draft cycle

and will go a long way in rebuilding a defensive line that lacked intensity and sack production last season. Going heavy on defense feels like a particularly bright move; much of their core from the beginning of Josh Allen's career is aging. That said, tight end Jackson Hawes (No. 173) and offensive tackle Chase Lundt (No. 206) are nice pickups to provide depth in that offense as well.

Not Sure About: Cornerback Maxwell Hairston (No. 30) is fast, but choosing him over Trey Amos feels like it could be an error akin to the Commanders picking Emmanuel Forbes over Christian Gonzalez in the 2023 draft. He lacks consistent tackling skills and has some stiff footwork that will likely give him fits early in his career even though he's blazing fast. Jordan Hancock (No. 170) and Dorian Strong (No. 177) are good value adds, but did they need to address cornerback THAT bad? I would've loved to see a wideout or a safety go earlier for them instead.

Philadelphia Eagles

Grade: B+

Best Pick: LB Jihaad Campbell, No. 31 Overall

What We Liked: Days one and two felt like a coup. Letting the Eagles get a weapon like Campbell in their second level, and maybe even get some reps on edge, feels like we're asking them to run back a second Super Bowl in a row. Pair him with Andrew Mukuba (No. 64), a lightning-quick safety who is an absolute ballhawk, and it seems like the highlight reel is ready to be replayed. I also dig the value on Drew Kendall (No. 168), a very athletic center prospect who could push Tyler Steen and Cam Jurgens for starting reps.

Not Sure About: Perhaps we were expecting too much, but this doesn't feel quite like the collection of steals we're used to from the Eagles, especially in day three. Mac McWilliams (No. 145) was not a draftable talent on our board and does not add meaningful depth to the cornerback room, though he may play on special teams. Linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. (No. 161) is a Georgia guy whom general manager Howie Roseman clearly loves, but this time, the fifth round almost feels like pushing it for a guy who is more of a downhill run-stopper with a lacking mind for coverage. The team also doesn't feel like it's building for the near future anymore.

Kansas City Chiefs

Grade: A-

Best Pick: WR Jalen Royals, No. 133 Overall

What We Liked: The Chiefs managed to solve their offensive tackle problem thanks to the fall of Josh Simmons (No. 32), which feels reminiscent of the Trey Smith pick from 2021. As usual, the Chiefs are playing to consensus, picking up talented fallers such as Royals and edge Ashton Gillotte (No. 66), who have the production and athleticism to become quick starters. The Chiefs are sticking to the strategy that turned them into perennial Super Bowl contenders. Good stuff.

Not Sure About: Taking defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (No. 63) feels like a disaster waiting to happen. It's hard to trust a player who isn't taking a majority of the snaps for his defense, and to take him on Day 2 is suspect. Also, linebacker Jeffrey Bassa (No. 156) strikes me as a nothing burger player with limited upside, not someone who projects to have a role starting anytime soon or even a role on special teams.

Houston Texans

Grade: B+

Best Pick: WR Jayden Higgins, No. 24 Overall

What We Liked: The Texans kicked off the draft incredibly well, getting the

dynamic wide receiver from Iowa State and offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery (No. 48), two players who could immediately earn starting time on the Texans and will help quarterback C.J. Stroud return to rookie form. Jaylen Reed (No. 187) is also a sneaky good safety pick on Day 3 who picked up a lot of responsibilities after Kevin Winston Jr. got injured. Also, from a comic standpoint, I like that the Texans picked three Jaylin variations and a Jayden.

Not Sure About: The two USC players, cornerback Jaylin Smith (No. 97) and running back Woody Marks (No. 116), were a bit overdrafted, with Marks being traded up for with crazy levels of capital. I don't see either of them getting many early reps, even Marks, who I'm not sure is ready for prime time. It feels like the offensive line needed to be fortified a bit more since Stroud was running for his life a lot of the year. The Texans' shift toward more weapons feels like they misunderstood the issue.

Los Angeles Rams

Grade: D+

Best Pick: LB Chris Paul Jr., No. 172 Overall

What We Liked: Really great pick for Paul, who projects as an early starter and is adept in pass coverage. That's an absolute steal deep into day three. Jarquez Hunter profiles as lightning to Kyren Williams' rumbling thunder. Coach Sean McVay clearly has a vision for his scheme that involves getting highly productive college players and letting them do reprise their success from the NCAA level. McVay is sticking to his guns.

Not Sure About: Tight end Terrance Ferguson (No. 46) and edge Josaiah Stewart (90) didn't make for an inspiring day two haul. I felt Stewart could reasonably have gone undrafted after a heinously bad 40-yard dash, considering his size combined with his limited length. The college pressure rates are good, but you have to think about his comparison to NFL competition. And I just never saw any game-wrecking moments or any sections of Ferguson's tape that popped out to me. He really seemed like an ordinary tight end, which isn't how you want to start your draft.

Best Pick: Josh Conerly Jr., No. 29 Overall

What We Liked: Great players all the way down. Conerly's explosive movement skills should make him a great fit for move-blocking and keeping a clean pocket for Jayden Daniels whether he chooses to scramble or not. Trey Amos deserved to be taken in the first round and should boost the secondary and help them recover from their early 2023 choice of Emmanuel Forbes. Even their late-round picks of Jaylin Lane and Kain Medrano stand to make an impact with their impressive athleticism.

Not Sure About: The Commanders could have paid a little closer attention to need, as they neglected an empty edge room and did not address the back end of their secondary. While I love Conerly, he may be getting thrown into the fire here before developing as an anchor, which could come back to bite the Commanders as they plan for the future, especially if they move him from his natural position of offensive tackle.

Best Pick: EDGE Abdul Carter, No. 3 Overall

What we liked: Carter is a great player. Pairing him with Brian Burns will turn a middling edge rusher unit into a force to be reckoned with. Focusing on the defensive trenches was a good decision for the Giants, who despite having lots of talent, really only felt like they were getting halfway decent results. Picking up Darius Alexander to supplement Dexter Lawrence should play out well, too. That defense could easily become a top-10 unit next year with the added talent.

Not Sure About: I know when you see a guy who could be a franchise quarterback on the board, you should do anything to get him, but is Jaxson Dart really that guy? Not only did the Giants take a quarterback propped up by an incredibly friendly system, they traded up to get him. After the first read, Dart often crumbled. I'm not sure I can see a world where Dart takes the Giants any further than Daniel Jones did. At least Jones could push the ball all the way downfield.

Best Pick: WR Tai Felton, No. 102 Overall

What We Liked: Felton should come in as a great WR3 to give J.J. McCarthy a really easy time finding open receivers. The two early picks put their new quarterback (coming off an injury last year) in a good space to continue the trajectory that Sam Darnold was able to execute on. Donovan Jackson will help McCarthy stay upright and could flex between guard or tackle for the Vikings depending on what they need. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins provides a lot of athleticism and flexibility to a defensive line that needs more of it. They did the most with what they had.

Not Sure About: There should have been a stronger effort to get more picks in the class. The only trade made was a pick swap that still left them with only four picks. With the value as on point as it was this year, giving Kwesi Adofo-Mensah more darts to throw could have resulted in a boost to the team's ceiling. The move to get QB Sam Howell feels a little underwhelming for a backup option to McCarthy, and securing another rookie might have been a better long-term play. Cornerback not being addressed early means the problems from last year will continue.

Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall

What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think Sai'vion Jones could work in quickly as a third pass rusher.

Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. RJ Harvey does not have a standout trait and plays slower than his tested speed. Spending a second-round pick on a guy who doesn't elevate your running back room is a problem. Pat Bryant feels like a guy head coach Sean Payton over-drafted for his blocking ability, but in the third round, it feels like he should have focused on players that can also catch and run with the ball.

Best Pick: C Jared Wilson, No. 95 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of rock-solid picks building in Mike Vrabel's first year as the head coach. The offensive line is molding into more of a unit than a series of disparate parts, the Patriots have a new running back in TreVeyon Henderson who can hopefully carry the workload. Kyle Williams gives QB Drake Maye one more weapon. This feels like a draft driven by logic and smart team-building.

Not Sure About: It was a little early for Craig Woodson for my liking. Woodson has trouble run-stopping and struck me as more of a developmental player than a solution to a safety problem. Other than that, nothing to complain about.

Grade: A-

Best Pick: CB Jacob Parrish, No. 84 Overall

What We Liked: The Buccaneers are really ready to fix what didn't work for them last year, investing heavily in a barren cornerback room and new edge rotational players. Cornerback Benjamin Morrison (No. 53) and Parrish could be a scary duo on the outside and slot, respectively. Emeka Egbuka (No. 19) brings a young face to an aging wide receiver room and could easily become the next Chris Godwin.

Not Sure About: Edge David Walker (No. 121) does not have extensive FBS experience and did not shine at the all-star games, so it feels like a major projection to picture him sticking around as a continuous edge rusher. Could an earlier edge pick and a later wideout selection have set the 49ers up more for immediate success? It's something to think about for sure. They need only so much from Egbuka considering the capital they spent.

Best Pick: WR Jalen Royals, No. 133 Overall

What We Liked: The Chiefs managed to solve their offensive tackle problem thanks to the fall of Josh Simmons, which feels reminiscent of the Trey Smith pick from 2021. As usual, the Chiefs are playing to consensus, picking up talented fallers such as Royals and Ashton Gillotte, who have the production and athleticism to become quick starters. The Chiefs are sticking to the strategy that turned them into perennial Super Bowl contenders. Good stuff.

Not Sure About: That Omarr Norman-Lott pick feels like a disaster waiting to happen. It's hard to trust a player who isn't taking a majority of the snaps for his defense, and to take him on Day 2 is suspect. Also, Jeffrey Bassa strikes me as a nothing burger player with limited upside and is not someone who projects to have a role starting anytime soon or even a role on special teams.

Grade: C

Best Pick: LB Nick Martin, No. 75 Overall

What We Liked: Coach Kyle Shanahan found some very good value outside of the first round. Martin was vastly underrated after getting injured early in the season, but he should bring sideline-to-sideline range that he couples with great instincts. Jordan Watkins (No. 138) has WR1 upside but at the very least projects as a WR2 for the offense. He was almost an Emeka Egbuka type in college who kept getting pushed by really impressive talents and not given a chance to shine.

Not Sure About: The first two rounds made me shrug. Edge Mykel Williams (11) is better on paper than on the field, but this isn't a Strat-O-Matic game. Defensive tackle Alfred Collins (43) doesn't have the strength or agility to be a game-wrecker, so the whole defensive line feels stagnant. There's still a glaring hole at offensive tackle that needs more capital investment.

Best Pick: CB Shavon Ravel Jr., No. 76 Overall

What We Liked: The Ravel pick was impressive value for the spot. The once-incredible Cowboys cornerback room took a major step back and Ravel should be able to make it afloat again. Tyler Booker is a really good player who fits with the scheme of the Cowboys with his overwhelming power profile. The Cowboys addressed the majority of their needs and at least should have new competition at the spot.

Not Sure About: Can Donovan Ezeiruaku keep up his high production in the pros when he's at an athletic disadvantage? The value is better in the second than his first-round projection, but it still is a worrying projection. Jaydon Blue does not seem equipped to take on a bellcow role and feels like more of a special teams add.

Best Pick: Harold Fannin Jr., No. 67 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of talented guys made their way onto the Browns roster through this class. It's a very productive group that isn't lacking in potential. Mason Graham plays with a furor that should scare opponents, the new RB duo of Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson has a lot of athleticism and should create a nice one-two punch. Fannin adds a dynamic weapon to the receiving corps that can be used in a wealth of ways. The support system for whoever is playing quarterback is going to be boosted.

Not Sure About: There's an old adage that if you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. Forcing a Dillon Gabriel vs. Shedeur Sanders quarterback competition seems like a move that will ultimately cause distractions. It's classic Browns, never able to quite solve the quarterback problem as they intend to, and always with more drama than necessary. Carson Schwesinger also got taken a little early for my liking, but the value at linebacker in the second round wasn't there for anyone.

Grade: B

Best Pick: OT Armand Membou, No. 7 Overall

What We Liked: The Jets hit home runs with their first three selections. Membou can bring his athleticism to an offensive line that really needed only one more piece and create a rushing powerhouse for quarterback Justin Fields and running back Breece Hall. Tight end Mason Taylor (No. 42) sets Fields up with a quick dump-off weapon and with with good run-after-catch ability. Cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (No. 73) does great work in both zone and man and should quickly become part of the rotation. It's now up to the free agent class to make it work.

Not Sure About: The day three selections were nothing to write home about. Wide receiver Arian Smith (No. 110) is very fast, but when it's not game-breaking and it's your main trait, it's hard to be too impressed. Safety Malachi Moore is also a good athlete, but he doesn't quite have the mental finesse to keep pass-catchers in his view consistently. Linebacker Francisco Mauigoa (No. 162) is good, but where will he play?

Grade: D

Best Pick: OT Kelvin Banks, No. 9 Overall

What We Liked: Banks is a good tackle who fits the mauling mold the Saints seem to look for. He feels a lot like Trevor Penning, but with more experience facing NFL talent and less frenzy. Jonas Sanker (No. 93) can fill a safety slot once their older guys age out, and he's versatile enough where you can evaluate his strengths and slot a new guy in next to him pretty easily. Quincy Riley (No. 131) adds some speed to the cornerback room.

Not Sure About: Taking Tyler Shough (No. 40) is just begging to have the Brandon Weeden experience for yourself. If this is your plan at quarterback, you'll be taking another big swing in 2026. It's not like they have given him any support this year either. If the Saints had given him an earlier wideout, then perhaps it could be fine, but if the injuries return, it honestly could be an 0-17 season.

Best Pick: S Nick Emmanwori, No. 35 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of jumping on the fallers, a strategy that will always get my approval. Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo specifically feel like players who fell more based on happenstance than actual inferior play. I like this as a landing spot for Jalen Milroe too -- give him a chance to learn behind Sam Darnold and get up to speed with NFL play, hopefully allow him to reach that untapped upside everyone was excited about. Getting Grey Zabel early also feels like a good move for a team that was putting out turnstiles on the interior.

Not Sure About: I don't feel particularly confident in most of the Day 3 flyers, even Tory Horton who was once considered a Day 2 guy. It feels like he's a really big injury risk. The others just aren't particularly talented with Robbie Ouzts and Rylie Mills being the least interesting of the bunch, two guys who have the build of NFL players but not really the skills to back it up. I don't have confidence in any of these guys to be regular contributors.

Best Pick: OT Ozzy Trapilo, No. 56 Overall

What We Liked: The Bears kept a good balance of need and overall player value for much of the draft. Starting off with Colston Loveland was a welcome surprise, as much of the buzz was around the inferior (sorry) Tyler Warren. Continuing to support Caleb Williams, the next two picks were another weapon in Luther Burden III, who can really cook with the ball in his hands, and added protection from Ozzy Trapilo. Their defensive picks mostly landed as well with Shemar Turner and Zah Frazier being high-floor prospects with decent athleticism and physicality.

Not Sure About: That Ruben Hyppolite pick was an insane miscue. It was sort of like acing a history test and then writing gibberish on one of the essay questions. Does anyone outside of the Maryland fanbase and obsessive pro day watchers like myself even know who Hyppolite is? Surely they could have gotten him later. The Bears don't even really need a linebacker, which means they have to have really loved this guy. Very odd pick from an otherwise very logical set of selections.

Grade: D+

Best Pick: LB Chris Paul Jr., No. 172 Overall

What We Liked: Really great pick for Paul, who projects as an early starter and is adept in pass coverage. That's an absolute steal deep into day three. Jarquez Hunter profiles as lightning to Kyren Williams' rumbling thunder. Coach Sean McVay clearly has a vision for his scheme that involves getting highly productive college players and letting them do reprise their success from the NCAA level. McVay is sticking to his guns.

Not Sure About: Tight end Terrance Ferguson (No. 46) and edge Josaiah Stewart (90) didn't make for an inspiring day two haul. I felt Stewart could reasonably have gone undrafted after a heinously bad 40-yard dash, considering his size combined with his limited length. The college pressure rates are good, but you have to think about his comparison to NFL competition. And I just never saw any game-wrecking moments or any sections of Ferguson's tape that popped out to me. He really seemed like an ordinary tight end, which isn't how you want to start your draft.

Best Pick: RB Ashton Jeanty, No. 6 Overall

What We Liked: The Raiders got a blue-chip guy at six, hard to argue with that. Jeanty is a big-time impact player for a team that never really had an offense that chugged. However, one great pick does not make an A+ draft class. The Raiders knocked it out of the park with virtually every pick. Their new wide receiver room combines high-floor prospects like Jack Bech with big-upside swings like Dont'e Thornton Jr. Their two offensive linemen picks are both big-time athletes who could start early. Darien Porter may be old for a draft pick, but he's the perfect Pete Carroll corner. Raiders fans, get excited.

Not Sure About: The two late defensive tackle picks don't really have any special skills and have limited upside. I would expect them to be rotational players at best. If JJ Pegues starts getting reps at fullback, then get worried about these being wasted picks. I personally would have added a safety earlier, but that's a nitpick on a top-tier draft class.

Grade: B+

Best Pick: LB Jihaad Campbell, No. 31 Overall

What We Liked: Days one and two felt like a coup. Letting the Eagles get a weapon like Campbell in their second level, and maybe even get some reps on edge, feels like we're asking them to run back a second Super Bowl in a row. Pair him with Andrew Mukuba (No. 64), a lightning-quick safety who is an absolute ballhawk, and it seems like the highlight reel is ready to be replayed. I also dig the value on Drew Kendall (No. 168), a very athletic center prospect who could push Tyler Steen and Cam Jurgens for starting reps.

Not Sure About: Perhaps we were expecting too much, but this doesn't feel quite like the collection of steals we're used to from the Eagles, especially in day three. Mac McWilliams (No. 145) was not a draftable talent on our board and does not add meaningful depth to the cornerback room, though he may play on special teams. Linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. (No. 161) is a Georgia guy whom general manager Howie Roseman clearly loves, but this time, the fifth round almost feels like pushing it for a guy who is more of a downhill run-stopper with a lacking mind for coverage. The team also doesn't feel like it's building for the near future anymore.

Best Pick: DT Kenneth Grant, No. 13 Overall

What We Liked: Effort was made to replace the big-time players who have left Miami for greener pastures. Kenneth Grant is clearly meant to be the next force up the middle similar to how Christian Wilkins operated for the Fins, and Dante Trader Jr. is kind of like if you got Jevon Holland from the 99-cent store: lots of strong play with a much lower paycheck attached. Jonah Savaiinaea feels like one more step in the right direction to fixing an offensive line that has led to Tua Tagovailoa concussions. The needs are being addressed.

Not Sure About: Jordan Phillips was a prospect that got first-round hype early in the cycle, but that tapered off when everyone realized that rumors of his athleticism were greatly exaggerated. Even the fifth round feels out of the range I would want someone of his production caliber. Jason Marshall is a similar former high-upside project player who just never did much of anything. Miami needs some players who can actually make an impact -- outside of their offense, they lack star power.

Best Pick: WR Tre Harris, No. 55 Overall

What We Liked: The Chargers picked up lots of talented players. The Omario Hampton pick should help the Chargers offense play more toward Harbaugh's strengths as a coordinator who loves to pound the rock. Tre Harris helps build out a wide receiver room for Justin Herbert, who I'm sure has been worried about a lack of support. The defensive line adds bring a really high floor and good power profile to the defense that can hopefully help the Chargers force more teams to lose yards instead of giving them time to dink and dunk all over them.

Not Sure About: They have a lot of players I like, but no one in particular I love. It feels like the Chargers have collected a bunch of low-end starters here, but no stars that are going to truly elevate the team to the next level. Kyle Kennard, Jamaree Caldwell and Harris all don't really have the athletic juice to be game-breakers, and Harris seems more and more injured every season. Can Hampton's lack of creativity survive behind a line that still doesn't have a very strong interior?

Grade: C-

Best Pick: DT Derrick Harmon, No. 21 overall

What We Liked: Lots of big, strong men in this draft. Harmon and Yahya Black (No. 164) shore up the defensive tackle room, giving quick fixes to one-tech and three-tech, hopefully opening up edge rusher T.J. Watt and linebacker Alex Highsmith to converting even more pressures into sacks. Kaleb Johnson (No. 83) feels like he provides the strength and vision coach Mike Tomlin loves from his running backs that he wasn't getting from Najee Harris. The traits are there that we associate with the Steelers, and it seems like the team has found guys that fit their standards.

Not Sure About: This draft feels like it does not solve the Steelers' problems. It's one thing to tap out on quarterback despite having many chances to add a starting-level body to the room (see Shedeur Sanders), but to not add competition at nickel or another pass-catcher until well into day three feels like the team took "take the best player available" just a little too far. The organization lost sight of what was necessary by chasing gritty strength guys and lacked finesse. Do they really need edge Jack Sawyer (No. 123)?

Best Pick: OG Miles Frazier, No. 171 Overall

What We Liked: The Lions continue their emphasis on size after solid results. Tyleik Williams is a big hog molly who can handle double teams with ease and should help build out a line that is hopefully less ravaged by injuries this year. Tate Ratledge and Miles Frazier build out a set of interior offensive linemen that could push to start as soon as the beginning of the season if Christian Mahogany doesn't pan out. It feels like the Lions found their needs early and stuck to their size requirements.

Not Sure About: Trading up with a future third-rounder to get Isaac TeSlaa feels like a classic Lions overthink. They love giving up lots of capital to get guys that weren't even on my radar as potential possibilities, and TeSlaa is no exception. A raw overaged wideout is not worth multiple Day 2 picks, and I don't think he'll do much with the limited time he'll have at his disposal in the Lions' wide receiver room. Ahmed Hassanein is also not a great fix at edge rusher.

Best Pick: CB/WR Travis Hunter, No. 2 Overall

What We Liked: That Travis Hunter trade was incredible. Getting two top-end weapons for the price of one is worth any amount of pick capital you have to pay to get up there. James Gladstone is making an incredible splash in his first year as a general manager with this trade and did lots of draft maneuvering that worked to his advantage. The Wyatt Milum pickup solidifies the offensive line well and Bhayshul Tuten should be a really strong dynamic duo with Tank Bigsby to take pressure off Trevor Lawrence.

Not Sure About: Hmm, lots of announcing guys who aren't going to play the position they did in college, shifting over to somewhere else. Caleb Ransaw played all slot corner last year and is looking to be used at safety, Jalen McLeod got announced as a linebacker when his natural fit is as an edge rusher, Wyatt Milum is likely shifting from tackle to guard. If these guys don't do well at their next position, the Jaguars' depth class is pretty much toast.

Best Pick: Jayden Higgins, No. 24 Overall

What We Liked: The Texans kicked off the draft incredibly well, getting the dynamic wide receiver from Iowa State and Aireontae Ersery, two players who could immediately earn starting time on the Texans and will help return Stroud to rookie form. Jaylen Reed is also a sneaky good safety pick on Day 3 who picked up a lot of responsibilities after Kevin Winston Jr. got injured. Also, from a comic standpoint, I like that the Texans picked three Jaylin variations and a Jayden.

Not Sure About: The two USC players, Jaylin Smith and Woody Marks, were a bit overdrafted, with Marks being traded up for with crazy levels of capital. I don't see either of them getting many early reps, even Woody, who I'm not sure is ready for primetime yet. It feels like the offensive line needed to be fortified a bit more since Stroud was running for his life a lot of the year. The Texans' shift toward more weapons feels like they misunderstood the issue.

Best Pick: Malaki Starks, No. 27 Overall

What We Liked: Lots of good value early. The Ravens continued their strategy of taking advantage of teams not valuing safety and have now created an imposing secondary between Starks and Kyle Hamilton. Mike Green is a good upside play that far down the board. If even half his college production translates to the professional level, he'll be an impact player for the Ravens. I like Emery Jones as well. He could secure a guard spot for the Ravens with a good training camp. Lots of potential impact here.

Not Sure About: There are too many guys here who haven't performed against top-level competition. Carson Vinson and Bilhal Kone aren't battle-tested and could really get exposed if they're thrown into the fire too early. Even Robert Longerbeam didn't have to handle too many top-end talents, and with his weight, I'm not sure his size outlier nature will be a positive at the next level. There are red flags to look out for here.

Grade: B+

Best Pick: Edge Nic Scourton, No. 51 Overall

What We Liked: Getting two edge rushers (Scourton and Princely Umanmielen at No. 77) feels like a great maneuver to fill out the room. Especially adding Scourton to the mix, a crazy good power rusher whose hands will make waste to offensive lines across the southeast. The Panthers hit on all of their day three picks as well, especially Lathan Ransom and Cam Jackson, who can make an immediate impact at safety and nose tackle. The depth on the team just got a lot stronger.

Not Sure About: It feels like the Panthers already have a lot of tall wideouts who can't really separate consistently. First-round pick Tetairoa McMillan does not add much to the room that quarterback Bryce Young doesn't already have. Umanmielen doesn't move me as an edge rusher, and while he isn't a bad value in the third round, it doesn't strengthen their bid for the NFC South. Running back might have been a higher priority.

Best Pick: WR Matthew Golden, No. 23 Overall

What We Liked: Golden at 23 was impressive value that I would've salivated over if I was a general manager. He should be the top target for Love instantly and finally provide an alpha presence to that room of complementary pieces. GM Brian Gutekunst took need into account well and addressed nearly all the positions that were missing starting-level talent and injected youth into rooms that had lost veterans to free agency. The floor of that team at the very least has been raised.

Not Sure About: Nearly every pick after Golden felt like a reach. There was constantly better talent on the board, and it looks to me like Gutekunst was more worried about scheme fit than actually getting the best players possible. Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver are good fits for how the Packers run their defense, but ultimately they just don't have the same natural talent as edge rushers who came off the board later. Savion Williams feels like an attempt to recapture the brief Christian Watson magic, but he has a lot of development still to come.

Best Pick: DT TJ Sanders, No. 41 Overall

What We Liked: Incredible value outside the first round. Their three players after their first pick all had first-round buzz at some point in the draft cycle and will go a long way in rebuilding a defensive line that lacked intensity and sack production last season. Going heavy on defense feels like a particularly bright move as much of their core from the beginning of Josh Allen's career is aging. That said, Jackson Hawes and Chase Lundt are two nice pickups to provide depth in that offense as well.

Not Sure About: Cornerback Maxwell Hairston is fast, but choosing him over Trey Amos feels like it could be an error akin to the Commanders picking Emmanuel Forbes over Christian Gonzalez in the ‘23 draft. He lacks consistent tackling skills and has some stiff footwork that will likely give him fits early in his career even though he's blazing fast. Hancock and Strong are good value adds, but did they need to address cornerback THAT bad? I would've loved to see a wideout or a safety go earlier for them instead.

Grade: B-

Best Pick: S Xavier Watts, No. 96 Overall

What we liked: The selections were impressive values in comparison to consensus; Jalon Walker (taken 15th) was seen by many as a potential top 10 pick thanks to his explosive nature; edge James Pearce's testing numbers make his potential impressive, and getting Watts at the back half of day two after a slide could change their secondary. The values on these guys was impressive, and the Falcons betting on upside is a great choice in a weak division where any team could cement itself as the front-runner for the next five years. If these players pan out along with quarterback Michael Penix Jr., they could be a perennial playoff team.

Not Sure About: Trading up with a future first-round pick for a player at a position you already took in the top 15 feels like a poor use of resources. That defensive line certainly needed sprucing up, but it only matters so much if they're not getting any interior pressure, and they certainly did not invest in defensive tackle as many expected. Not only that, they doubled up on doubling up. They took two safeties too! There are more holes on the roster than that! Solve your other problems!

Grade: A

Best Pick: CB Will Johnson, No. 47 Overall

What We Liked: Everything. The Cardinals went for the best football player available at every turn, from ending the surprising fall to the second round for Michigan cornerback Will Johnson to their first pick of Walter Nolen, who got some of the best production of any defensive tackle in the SEC.

Even their day two and three selections were great choices, taking edge Jordan Burch, who performed admirably at Oregon, and Cody Simon, who led the linebacker corps for Ohio State. I has Burch as a top 50 guy and Simon as one of the most underrated linebackers in the class. It solves a lot of problems for them very quickly.

Not Sure About: While these picks are great value, they all come with some caveats. Nolen has alleged character issues, Johnson has some grievous medical history, and Burch could accurately be described as a tweener. Plus, some earlier help for quarterback Kyler Murray would have been nice.

Sanders had 67 combined tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries in 10 games last season, when he missed three games with a broken forearm.

The 25-year-old is listed at 6-foot and 195 pounds. He ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at Colorado's pro day.

He is the older brother of former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, and son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.

Shilo Sanders played two seasons at Colorado and in 2019-20 at South Carolina and totaled 170 tackles, four TFL, one sack, one interception, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 34 games. He also played in 2021 and 2022 at Jackson State with his brother for their father.

The Buccaneers add their third rookie defensive back. They drafted Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison in the second round and Kansas State cornerback Jacob Parrish in the third round.

Minor played three seasons at Texas Tech and one at Indiana before his one year at Memphis. In 2024, he had 38 tackles, seven tackles for loss, six passes defended, two sacks, and two forced fumbles.

"I love it," Minor said regarding his draft selection, via 98.5 The Sports Hub. "It's just fuel to my fire."

The last player taken in the draft typically makes little impact in the NFL, but one exception was San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2024. He was Mr. Irrelevant in 2022.

Last season, Alabama safety Jaylen Key earned the nickname when he was selected last by the New York Jets.

The award was created by former Southern California wide receiver Paul Salata, who was drafted 10th in 1951. That draft went 30 rounds and the process was shortened several times, ultimately shifting to seven rounds in 1994.

After more than two days of waiting, the questions were answered when the Cleveland Browns finally stopped Sanders' inexplicable free fall through the draft ranks, trading up to select the Colorado quarterback with the sixth pick in the fifth round and No. 144 overall.

Cleveland, which already had taken Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round, sent picks 166 and 192 to Seattle to take Sanders.

Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders, passed for 14,347 yards with 134 touchdowns in his college career, two seasons at Jackson State, then two at Colorado.

He had been projected by some as a possible first-round pick, but draft analysts, fans, and even President Trump were confounded by Sanders' slide.

Even with Deshaun Watson in danger of missing all of the 2025 season after re-rupturing an Achilles tendon, the Browns quarterback room includes recently re-signed 17-year veteran Joe Flacco and 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett, acquired in a trade with Philadelphia, as well as Gabriel and Sanders.

Seven players from national champion Ohio State were drafted Saturday, raising the Buckeyes' total to 14, one short of Georgia's single-draft record of 15 in 2022.

Defensive linemen were the primary focus in the fourth, with half of the 10 selected listed as edge rushers.

Six running backs were taken in the fourth round, including Arizona State's Cam Skattebo, who capped his college career with an eye-catching performance in the College Football Playoff. He went to the New York Giants at pick No. 105.

When asked in a post-draft interview what he wanted Giants fans to know what he was bringing to the organization, Skattebo said, "I'm bringing a hard runner, someone that's going to score a lot of touchdowns, and do whatever I can to put us in the best position to win."

In the 39-31 double-overtime loss to Texas in the CFP quarterfinals, Skattebo threw a 42-yard touchdown and then ran for a touchdown and two-point conversion as ASU erased 16-point deficit in the final 6 1/2 minutes to force overtime. He carried 30 times for 143 yards and had eight catches for 99 yards, as well as a touchdown in the first overtime.

Skattebo, who transferred to Arizona State after two years at FCS school Sacramento State, ran for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns last season and also had 45 receptions for 605 yards. He was the first Big 12 player ever to have at least 1,500 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season, and first FBS player to do it since Christian McCaffrey in 2015.

Six quarterbacks were taken in the sixth round. Syracuse's Kyle McCord went to Philadelphia with pick No. 181, and Ohio State's Will Howard was selected by Pittsburgh four picks later. McCord spent three seasons at Ohio State, then transferred to Syracuse, where he completed 66 percent of his passes for 4,779 yards and 34 touchdowns. Howard transferred after four seasons at Kansas State and led the Buckeyes to the national title.

Notre Dame's Riley Leonard went to Indianapolis at No. 189, Florida's Graham Mertz to Houston at No. 197., and Vegas took both Montana State's Tommy Mellott (No. 213) and North Dakota State's Cam Miller (No. 215).

Indiana's Kurtis Rourke was the first quarterback taken in the seventh round, going to San Francisco at No. 227. Quinn Ewers of Texas went to Miami four picks later.

Kobee Minor, a cornerback from Memphis, earned the Mr. Irrelevant tag as the 257th and final player picked.

Brock Purdy, the current San Francisco 49ers quarterback, is one of the most successful "Mr. Irrelevants", as the last player picked in 2022.

The beleaguered Tucker is accused of engaging in inappropriate behavior with several female massage therapists. Sixteen women have accused Tucker of misconduct at eight different high-end spas in the Baltimore area from 2012-16.

When the first of the allegations surfaced in January, the Ravens issued a statement, saying in part, "We are aware of the Baltimore Banner's story regarding Justin Tucker as well as his response. We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation."

Tucker has denied the allegations, and though the team hadn't acknowledging publicly it was preparing to move on, the drafting of another kicker is a clear indication of wanting to go in a different direction.

The Ravens selected Loop, a kicker out of the University of Arizona, in the sixth round and with the No. 186 overall pick.

Regarded as one of the top kicking prospects in the draft, Loop made 18 of 23 kicks for the Wildcats as a senior, including a school-record 62-yarder against Houston. He also had 53 touchbacks on 56 kickoffs in being named honorable mention All-Big 12.

Tucker, 35, has been the Ravens' kicker since Baltimore signed him as undrafted free agent out of the University of Texas in 2012.

In becoming a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro, Tucker has become the league's all-time leader in field goal accuracy, making 89.1 percent of his kicks. But he made a career-low 73.3 percent (22 of 30) last season and was just 11 of 19 from 40 or more yards.
