Draft Grades (AFC East)

Jets: They picked who everyone thought they'd pick, Zach Wilson. Just three months ago Justin Fields was the odds on favorite but someone decided Wilson was a better pick, but who knows. They traded up from 23 to 13 with Minnesota, once Fields was off the board, to select Alijah Vera-Tucker to bolster their offensive line. In the second round they addressed a weak point at skill positions by selecting Elijah Moore a wide receiver out of Ole Miss and Michael Carter a runningback out of UNC. Overall Grade: A+


Dolphins: They started out this draft period by trading back to 12 from 3 then immediately trading back up from 12 to 6 and ultimately selected Jaylen Waddle a wideout from Alabama whose speed is incomparable. The Dolphins also had the 18th pick where they selected Jaelan Phillips, a defensive end out of Miami who has a huge upside but isn't quite pro-ready. On day two they selected Jevon Holland the second ranked safety this year, Liam Eichenberg a first round tackle who slipped in the draft and Hunter Long a nice piece they could pair with Mike Gesicki. Overall Grade: A-


Patriots: Mac Jones slid to them at 15. He could be a nice piece but I don't think he is anywhere close to pro-ready, so he'll have a year to sit behind Cam Newton. They got a steal in Christian Barmore who was projected to go as high as 16 in the first round. On day 3 they grabbed some Guys who could provide major upside with Rhamondre Stevenson and Tre Nixon, if you haven't hear of these guys check the tapes because they can ball. Overall Grade B


Bills: They took a guy in Gregory Rousseau who took the last year off and really could of went high in this draft but as of now is an unknown. He has the size, speed and comparable skill sets to some guys in the league already but the Bills didn't have a need at the position which left many scratching their heads. In the second round they took another defensive end Carlos Basham Jr which again they didn't need. Finally in the third round they addressed a need at tackle by taking Spencer Brown out of Northern Iowa but it seems to little to late. Overall Grade: D
