2025 NFL Draft Grades

Cam Ward, Abdul Carter and Jalen Milroe

Arizona Cardinals: B

With great value in the Will Johnson pick, the Cardinals address some of their many needs with this class. If you are a fan of Arizona you would have liked to see them draft at least 1 offensive player.

Atlanta Falcons: B

The Falcons came out on Day 1 guns-a-blazing trading with the Ram's to draft James Pearce (who I am very high on - one of the most underrated players in the class) They come out of this draft with 3 Day-starters however, Atlanta gave up too much to justify the trade for Pearce at this time.

Baltimore Ravens: A-

The Ravens love their value which they found a lot of this year. With so many picks in the 6th round, you would have like to a little bit more focus on explosive players for Lamar to connect to.

Buffalo Bills: D+

The Bills had a very lackluster few days in Green Bay. But they upgraded on defense which can come in clutch this post season.

Carolina Panthers: A+

Panthers had one of the best drafts this season. Although I would've gone a different route in the first round, they put all the pieces around their young QB which means there is no excuses for him.

Chicago Bears: B-

The Bears got the steal of the draft with Luther Burden, they simply couldn't pass up. But the rest of the class including reaching on Loveland was lackluster.

Cincinnati Bengals: D

The Bengals come out with one of the lowest grades in 2025, Barrett Carter is about the only good player selected.

Cleveland Browns: A

The Browns made waves after trading the #2 overall pick to the Jag's. They end up taking Sanders on Day 3, which if he was picked at #2 many wouldn't have batted an eye. So at the end of the day getting 2 out of the 3 top QB's on our big board as late as they did, and getting a 1st round next year means they earn an A.

Dallas Cowboys: B+

The Cowboys had a not-so-flashy draft class, which isn't a bad thing. They made safe picks that you cannot be mad at if you are a fan of Americas team.

Denver Broncos: B+

Denver drafted RJ Harvey in Round 2 who is one of the most underrated players in the class. When they picked Barron at 20 they got one of the best value picks of Day 1. An overall solid class for a Sean Payton led Broncos.

Detroit Lions: B

An underwhelming draft for the Lions - but at least they know their needs. That's how the War Room picked this class, address the needs not draft B.P.A. This class will probably be good for them due to their ability to develop lesser proven talent.

Green Bay Packers: B-

Green Bay addresses a need at WR however I don't believe that he can be a #1 WR in this league. Will he help Love this season, of course. Drafting 2 WR's in the first 2 day's of the draft? Unnecessary and a waste of a good pick. Also, when will team's learn to stop trusting Senior Bowl game performances?

Houston Texans: A-

Houston, we have a great draft class. A team that addressed their key issues in just the first 2 days, bringing in 4 day 1 contributors, 3 of which will help Stroud become the player he needs to be. The rest of their class is great value and brings them potential bench pieces that could find time on the field if injuries arise.

Indianapolis Colts: A-

The Colts bring home a Top 10 prospect without even moving a muscle. They should have locked this pick in with 9:59 left on the clock. To go into the 2nd round and get a player like JT shows that the front office cares about improving both sides of the ball. JT is such a shifty, hard to grab player who will make it very tough on NFL o-linemen to protect their QB.

Jacksonville Jaguars: C-

The Jaguars made the biggest splash this league has seen in a while. By getting Hunter, they now think they have a revamped team, but did they give up too much. A DT, a new true WR and another TE were desperately needed and they didn't address it head on. If Travis can play WR effectively in this league, then Trevor has found himself a new WR 1 but we will have to wait and see if they did the right thing here.

Kansas City Chiefs: B

The Chiefs came into this class, knew what they needed and got players that, if they can stay healthy will contribute to the constant success of KC. One of the players with the most upside is Josh Simmons. If he can find his footing in the league, but the end of his rookie year the Chiefs will have one of the best O-Lines in the league. Norman-Lott will benefit greatly from being paired with Chris Jones.

Los Angeles Chargers: C

Another day goes by and the question still remains, How much help does Herbert need? The Chargers go Running Back round 1 in a class that is loaded at that position. When will teams learn that drafting a Running Back early just isn't necessary.

Los Angeles Rams: C+

If you are the Rams, and your team needs help at corner, why are you not drafting a cornerback? The Rams come out of this draft with a less then average class. The + in the C is for drafting Chris Paul Jr in the 5th round - he will be a all-pro someday.

Miami Dolphins: B+

What if I told you there was a team that had the opportunity to draft a Top 5 Offensive prospect in the draft, but decided to take Mason Grahams lesser half. That is what the fishies did in this draft. Taking the chance on a college great Ollie Gordon, believing in Jason Marshall, and getting Ewers so late brings this class a little higher then the rest. Jonah Savaiinaea is a great player, they just gave up a haul to get him.

Minnesota Vikings: B

Vikings fail to address issues on defense - with a low amount of picks, they did not spend them wisely. It appears that they are trying to bring in more help for JJ this year, which you can't really knock considering the injury he is coming off of, and the fact that this will be his first year calling the snap.

New England Patriots: A-

The Pat's address every single need that they had with their 2025 class. They drafted the 2nd best o-linemen, but also the best Center - 2 key pieces for Drake Mayes offense. The only reason they don't earn higher than a A- is because they spent a pick on Henderson, perhaps too early. But the vision is clear, let Maye try to cook.

New Orleans Saints: D-

What are the Saints doing with this class. You don't take Sanders when he falls... You reach on Kelvin Banks and then you draft the wrong players on day 3. The Saints need to get out of this rut of poverty they find themselves in.

New York Giants: B+

The G-Men made a giant splash with by selecting Jaxson Dart in the first round. If you are a team in the NFC East, you now have to worry about your QB's safety with Abdul Carter coming at you, and FAST. Skattebo brings a new burst of energy to the offense, which was a great selection for them in the 4th round.

New York Jets: A

The Jets have to be walking away from this draft thinking that they did something right. They actually did multiple things right, Membou is going to be a problem for defenders. After that great day 1, they followed it up by getting two starting caliber players in Taylor and Thomas. Although the Taylor pick was a little bit of reach, he wouldn't have been there later on because of the need for TE's around the league. Taking a chance on Arian Smith is interesting, as he had some of the worst hands in Bulldogs history, but if they can fix that he will be an issue for NFL CB's.

Philadelphia Eagles: B+

The Eagles knew what they were doing with this class of theirs, address the needs of your team now so you can remain at the top. The Campbell pick is a wise pick to make considering he was the best Linebacker in college football.

Pittsburgh Steelers: D

The fans in Steel City have to be feeling pretty disconnected from the Steelers brass as of late. They walk out of Wisconsin with a new starting DT in Harmon, but other than that it is a sub-par class.

San Francisco 49ers: C+

The Niners are in a bit of disarray, and you would hope that this class would spark energy into the fanbase. Other than the Williams pick, it is hard to look at this class and get excited for what is to come.

Seattle Seahawks: A+

The Seahawks come in with a rare A+ class because of what they we're able to do themselves. They choose to be aggressive and it worked. They got Zabel who is the best OG in the draft, the best Safety in Emmanwori and the most athletic player in the draft, Jalen Milroe. Drafting Ricky White one of the best Special Teams players coming out was the icing on the cake to a successful class.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: B

Did the Buc's need to draft Emeka? No. Is he a great player and saves them from drafting one next year? Yes. The Bucs kept it too simple this year, 2 WR's, 2 Edge's and 2 CB's therefore they can't earn higher then a B.

Tennessee Titans: B+

Cam Ward goes #1 like we all knew but what about the other picks, were they good? The answer to that question is yes. They made some solid picks with 3 new weapons, Dike, Helm, and Ayomanor back to back to back. The addition of Restrepo after the Draft ended was such a great move. I enjoy how fun this team looks now.

Washington Commanders: B

The Commanders forgot that they need an Edge and Safety - literally there two biggest weaknesses. . They reached on Conerly but got great value with Amos in the 2nd. Overall it is a average, simple class that we just have to wait and see on.
