This list will be done based off the ESPN rankings. I'll go over where the players landing and/or potential landing spots for the ones not yet signed.
Trent Wiliiams: Trent resigned with the 49ers which was not surprising, the actual surprising part was how much his contract was actually worth. Based off of last season the fit is right and San Francisco can afford the move but they might have overspent. Overall grade: A-
Hunter Henry: Henry signed one of the richest contracts in tight end history. He fits well in the Patriots scheme considering their love for duel TE sets and the fact that Cam loves throwing to TE's.
Overall grade: A
Yannick Ngakoue: This is Yannick's fourth team in seven months so its nice to think he found a home in Vegas and they grabbed him at a good value. Plus he fits the scheme under Gruden's defense. Overall grade: B+
Bud Dupree: Bud is coming off a torn ACL and is expected to be ready for training camp, at least the Titans believe he will be considering he signed a 16 million dollar per year contract. As an edge rusher explosive speed is very important so lets hope he fully recovers for him and the team. Overall grade: B
Kenny Golladay: He is yet to be signed but has at least one offer on the table and that's from the Bengals. While Cincinnati needs playmakers at the position Kenny has stated he wants to play for a winner and Cincy is a couple years off from being a winner and the other reported teams interested being the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears. Overall grade : N/A
Jonnu Smith: Smith also signed with New England for the same yearly value as Henry making the Patriots big spenders this offseason. Like I said earlier with Henry the Pats love the dual TE set and with Jonnu's availability to play anywhere on offense plays a big role in the signing. Overall grade: A+
Trey Hendrickson: Trey got paid by the Bengals this offseason, 4 year 60 million contract. However the Bengals have a much more pressing issue, that be protecting Joe Burrow, and that has been left unaddressed this offseason so far. Overall grade: D+
Aaron Jones: Jones resigned with the Packers for 12 million a year and although he could have grabbed more on the open market by the likes of someone like Miami. He stayed true to his roots and stayed with the team that drafted him. Overall grade: A-
Shaq Barrett: Shaq resigned with the Buccaneers and like Jones could've got more on the open market but chose to chase another ring. And he better thank Tom Brady for restructuring his contract to open up cap room for Barrett. Overall grade: A
Corey Linsley: This will go as one of those underrated signing this offseason but will have one of the biggest impacts for the seasons to come. Linsley being a center creates an anchor for a young Chargers offense that can be special for years to come. Overall grade: A+
