We liked the Jaguars draft class more than most but what a roller coaster. Good: Emmanuel Pregnon and Tanner Koziol were two of our favorite players in the draft. Not good: We had 7th round/UDFA grades on 6 of their picks. Felt like they targeted guys for very specific roles.

The Browns put together another Top 5 draft class for us. Second year in a row. Loved the Spencer Fano, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and Carsen Ryan picks. This is a talented roster that desperately needs good QB play.

This Bengals 2026 draft class was the class of unicorns. We marked 10 guys this year on our board as unicorn status meaning they were 0-1st or 99th-100th percentile in specific measurements at their position. The Bengals added 3 Cashius Howell. Cashius Howell - 1st percentile arm length Tacario Davis - 99th percentile height Landon Robinson - 0th percentile height Eric Gentry - 100th percentile height and arm length

Eric Gentry is obviously a UDFA but still fits. There’s also no major takeaways here just a fascinating group of players.

The 49ers 2023 class is the lowest graded of the 224 classes in our database. Didn’t even remotely give themselves a chance. When people say that drafting near the consensus doesn’t actually matter, just show them this class.
Replying to @GridironGrading
Who is the worst class all-time?

The New York Jets just ended with our favorite draft class we have ever graded.

Just wanted to clear the air here, we are not Jets fans. But when you’ve been grading classes for 7 years then a new GM pops up, changes their process, and then ends up drafting your favorite class of all-time? That’s the good stuff.

Darren Mougey and the Jets completely changed their drafting process this year combining all of the different voices in their room into one board. That new process aligned as closely with our drafting model as any class we have ever seen. Will be fun to watch moving forward.

We've lost the plot if draft analysts are trying to make the argument that we should not do draft analysis

Here are those 4 top classes outside of the Jets 2026 class. That Colts 2023 class looks like a legendary miss by us. Need Blake Freeland to become a guy.

Ok, this is actually REALLY cool: #Jets Darren Mougey said him & his staff completely changed their entire draft scale & system from last year When asked more on it he said that he had all of his scouts pitch their different grading scales they had learned over the years, & then collectively they created their own unique draft scale "with our own color schemes & number schemes. Had a lot of discussion about it. Enhanced the systems" Mougey said because they did this he felt much more comfortable visualizing the Board this year & "knowing how it was gonna fall"

Another great draft by the Eagles. Getting Makai Lemon at 20 was the best value of Round 1. Eli Stowers and Micah Morris were two of our favorite prospects in the draft.

For those who want to see our past favorite classes. Top 20 by value and Top 20 by talent. Ideally you want some of each. The most recent years are the best representation of the current grading process. Not perfect but nothing about the NFL draft is easy to predict.
