Owen Pappoe is a good speed linebacker, and Clayton Tune is a fascinating guy on tape - his top 20 highlights make you think he’s going to be an NFL starter someday, and then, there’s a lot of randomness.Īrizona came into this process with perhaps the NFL’s worst roster, and they did their best to reinforce that roster with not only talent now, but more draft capital in the future to get back to relevance. Garrett Williams and Kei’Trel Clark are nice additions to an iffy cornerback room, and Michael Wilson is a bigger (6-foot-2, 213 pound) receiver who almost looks like a tight end at times.
New head coach Jonathan Gannon ran a ton of five-man fronts as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator, and if he’s going to do that in the Valley of the Sun, he has his speed end in BJ Ojulari, who has a ton of speed and bend around the edge. He’ll be a Day 1 protector for Kyler Murray, and he’s got a ton of potential with a few technical fixes. The Cardinals traded down with the Texans from the third pick, getting a ton of draft capital in the process, and they took Johnson, the best true left tackle in this class.

That’s the mindset I took into the grades you see here. The point is more about how the teams did with the resources they had, the capital they spent, what they got in return, and what they might have left behind. I could be completely wrong regarding how these players do at the next level, but that’s not really the point. That’s what I did here in grading the 2023 NFL draft for all 32 teams. It’s more than a letter and some snark for clicks.
Ideally, you’re weighing prospect strength with positional value and draft capital expended. I can only speak to my process, but when I’m grading a draft right after the fact, it’s all about taking the work I did pre-draft and projecting that analysis to the NFL with the understanding of NFL homes for every player. Which is not altogether inaccurate, to be brutally honest. What is the point of grading a draft right after it happens? We have no idea what the prospects will do at the NFL level, so it seems that the primary reason for draft grades is clicks.
