I will not be listing any team NFl Draft grades because I do not believe this is realistically possible. Media grades of each team’s draft picks cannot possibly predict what will occur in the future.
Some teams managed to draft a lot of the more well-known players out there and are therefore were rewarded grade-wise for this.
Without three years of pro development, it is impossible to know what will happen to each player.
Some lesser-known and even small college players will come out of no-where to make a big impact on their squads.
The third through seventh rounds, also known as the scouts rounds, are what really matter. These picks fill a team’s roster. Many will do nothing more then sub-in for starters or secure spots on special teams.
These roles are very important to the success of a team though. A nickel or dime back making a tackle short of the first-down marker or a backup linebacker making a key block to spring the kick or punt returner can be a huge part of the game.
The Chiefs trading of fan favorite defensive end Jared Allen before the draft created a lot of publicity. It should be noted that few players in the league make me watch week after week purely because of the passion they bring to the stadium every Sunday. He was one of the those players in KC.
Watch out for those undrafted rookies with something to prove. There are always a few that stand out through the training camps and really make an impression. These players are particularly interesting to watch and they also can make a difference for the team that takes a chance on them.
