The article assesses the 2025 NFL draft grades, highlighting surprising performances from franchises that typically underperform in drafting. The top three teams, including the Browns and Giants, have been noted for selecting players that enhance their rosters significantly while making strategic moves such as trading picks. The analysis reflects on the downfalls of traditional contenders, suggesting a potentially chaotic season ahead as teams navigate a less predictable draft landscape with fewer trades.
"When you draft for best player available, you can end up with two running backs and two quarterbacks. Drafting Gabriel over Sanders was a stunner, but so was Sanders falling to No. 144."
"You can't beat picking arguably the best player in the draft at No. 3 then trading two third-rounders to get back into the first round for coach Brian Daboll's handpicked future QB."
"The top mostly is occupied by either franchises with checkered draft histories or those who have been on the wrong side of .500 for a long time."
