2026 NFL Draft: Complete Team Grades for Every Franchise's Class

The 2026 NFL Draft is complete, and after a day to digest all the picks, we’re prepared to hand out grades for all 32 teams. It generally takes a few years to know exactly how well a team did in an NFL Draft, but there are still instant grades and immediate winners and losers that set a baseline of expectations for how we think a team’s draft went.

We already published a 2027 NFL mock draft to set up next year’s board, which will surely change a ton over the next 11 months. If your team didn’t land its QB of the future this season, don’t worry—there are a bunch of quarterbacks coming next year.

One pitfall many teams seemed to fall into was at tight end. This was not a good tight end class, with only Kenyon Sadiq and Eli Stowers standing out, but both are pure pass catchers. Teams continued to over-pick the position out of necessity, and it led to some wild names coming off the board. This seemed to have a trickle-down effect where lots of players fell lower than we expected.

Without further ado, here are our grades for the 2026 NFL Draft.

2026 NFL Draft Grades by Team

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

Full Draft Class

Best pick: T.J. Parker, EDGE, Clemson — 2nd round, 35th overall

The Bills deserve credit for how they worked the board, trading back three times and yet drafting T.J. Parker at 35—a player who would have been a reasonable pick for them with their original pick at No. 26. Those picks also helped Buffalo bridge a gap from No. 26 to No. 91, which is when they would have been on the clock next.

Davison Igbinosun brings experience and should play a role immediately for Buffalo at corner, while WR Skyler Bill (Round 4) and S Jalon Kilgore (Round 5) should also contribute.

Grade: B+

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Full Draft Class

Best pick: Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State — 1st round, 14th overall

Leading off with Olaivavega Ioane was a tremendous pick for the Ravens, as he was the top interior offensive lineman on the board and one of our favorite players in the class. Zion Young in the second round was another solid selection, as the Missouri pass rusher generated first-round buzz late in the process. Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt are a pair of ball-winners who should help replace what the Ravens lost in Isaiah Likely.

Grade: B

Cincinnati Bengals

Full Draft Class

Best pick: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington — 3rd round, 72nd overall

I was tempted to list Dexter Lawrence as their best pick, as the trade with the New York Giants is important context. However, Tacario Davis in the third round stands out as a strong selection for Cincinnati.
