o Team passed on a better player at the position for the team
o Team ignored value at a major need (1st Round Only)
o Team/Scheme fit is in question
OR
• An otherwise “C” graded pick due to value and/or better players being available, but a massive hole at a value position (QB, OT, WR, ED, DT, CB) was addressed in Round 1 with a still good player that wouldn’t have been available for the team later.

• No notable criticisms of the pick but expectations should be tampered as with any Day 3 Pick
Reach / Will Regret Not Taking… / Not a fan (Yellow)
• (Round 4 & 5 only) Player was a notable reach and/or notably better players would have been better picks, but the player still had a draftable grade

Marcus, how come you aren't rating the teams 1-32 like last year?
As a Steeler fan you had me so damn hyped for this class ! Holy shit
Not including this video so far NFC North:
Bears A-
Lions C
Packers A-
Vikings B
NFC East:
Cowboys C+
Giants A+
Eagles A+
Commanders B+
Omar Khan is literally the smartest GM in the league from an intelligence perspective. I'm so excited what he and Weidl do in pittsburgh
Steelers won baby
Charlie Jones is a flat out steal.
Former Packer's LG Mike Wahle liked OT Jones better than his teammate LT Paris Johnson! Opined Jones as a road-grader whom needs ftwork, weight caution n strength issues.
It’s almost annoying how great all these drafts were. Steelers might’ve had the best in the entire league and Browns nailed it despite not having a 1 or 2. Isaiah McGuire Joey Porter Jr Andrew Voorhees and Zay Flowers were some of my biggest My Guys so you can imagine my frustration 😂
Steelers had a Madden draft if I was playing franchise mode alone. Insane
Steelers are back!!!!!💛🖤
Just wanted to point out that Charlie Jones v Penn State got 12 receptions for 153 yards and a TD. So he didn't get deleted when going up against JPJ at all
Do you think Trenton Simpson could end up like Baron Browning? Having 1 bad year as a linebacker and then showing some spark as a stand up edge?
The immaculate draft class
-Omar Khan
That Cleveland draft may be the best draft capital to value ratio I’ve ever seen. They got some REALLY good players wayyyy later than they should have.
the AFC North KILLED IT MY GOODNESS
Ily Marcus🫶
Is this why AB thinks he’s on the Ravens? 3:43
Tbh, myles Murphy was falling to the late 20s before your mock
Are you going to keep a running ranking of every team's draft so we can see, in order, who had the best draft all the way down to who had the worst in your opinion? I think you did that last year and your last graphic on each video always added the next 4 teams you reviewed to that ranking list. That would be cool to do again.
Keep up with the great analysis. Even if I don’t agree with every single point you make, you back them up and you stand your ground. Much respect man, God bless ya 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I like it more focus on first three feel 4 & 5 should be different 6 & 7 then nail it
Very happy with my ravens draft and offseason overall. Very good mix of speed and athleticism in the WR and TE group while build an offensive line that is going to maul everyone. As for CB I fully expect them to add either Rock Ya-Sin or resign Peters
Myles Murphy’s stagnation last season can likely be chalked up to not only losing the best DC in CFB, but also one of the best DL coaches in Todd Bates, and an edge coach in Miguel Chavis. He got hit with the trifecta, and it’s no coincidence that their entire defense looked out of it most of the year. They weren’t put in a good spot this year.
Ravens draft seems pretty predictable in a good way. Flowers is more talent to add in a WR group that hopes to stay healthy this year. Ravens aren't taking Queen's 5th year option so MacDonald's defense will have another inside LB stepping up. Bengals draft was slowly filling/improving the defensive talent that will slowly leave as they gear up to sign Burrow/Chase/Higgins to their big extensions. Browns short list seems fine with upgrades in key spots. Especially interior D-line which has to prove teams cannot run inside against them so easily. Steelers got more help for Pickett/Harris as well as fixing small holes in their defense. Overall the day 1-2 guys of this group will probably be playing a good load of reps in their first year. With the day 3 guys maybe finding a niche in key formations.
Steelers had an absolute masterclass
🐐
2 hall of famers from the Steelers baby
I could definitely see Keaton Mitchell making the 53 man roster for the Ravens. Their running back room is shallow.
loved the analysis on my Steelers!
the one thing i didn't like about the bengals draft was they didn't draft oline but they got jaxson kirkland as a udfa who i genuinely think would have been a second or third rounder if he didn't get injured and i think he could compete against volson as the starting left guard
My brother in christ, Tyler Boyd is 28 and you act like he's a geriatric
Would you rank the Steelers draft #1 this year?
The entire AFC North had amazing draft classes. So excited for this next year. Also LETS GOOOO STEELERS, THE KHAN ARTIST STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Cam Mitchell is also really good at tackling
the Khan Artist out here stealing good players in the draft
The khan artist
I like you, but you were wrong about Levis. I have Reddit receipts saying he’s not a 1st rounder. Called it. 😊
Yo Marcus you ready for the Daxton Hill breakout this season? Cinci defense has no holes now should be top 10
Browns fan thanking you for talking me off a ledge
I'm typically jealous of BAL and CIN drafts but this year I wouldn't trade my steelers draft for any other…except maybe PHI
I get it’s not the same as drafting a Deonte Banks, but it seems like the Ravens just want sign a CB now that the Lamar deal is done. My guess would be just bring Marcus Peters back for one more run.
Awesome stuff! Love the content, you kept me up to date on draft night 1 and 2. You got me super hyped up for the Steelers picks.
Glad to see one of Bengal's favorite prospects in DJ Turner go to play for the Bengals
Love the vid
The Khan artist strikes again
Yea I thought we were going Deonte Banks as well. But I know they're talking about bringing Peters back and Signing Roc ya Sin
WhoDey!🧡🖤🧡
@That Franchise Guy love to see a Collaboration with las vegas raiders beat writer @BEASTwriter when you do the afc west draft grades. I mentioned it to him amd he'd like to do a collaboration with you asap.
Speaking of Isaiah McGuire and "watching the wrong games" – for me, if you can't show me anything in one game (let alone 2 games) that is at least promising, you aren't worth watching and most likely not a player I want on my team.
At least the Browns won in SOMETHING this season lol
