The Steelers in 1974 weren't anyone's idea of a "good" team (one division win in their 41-year history to that point), but they got a barrel load of value from their draft that year. With their six fourth-round picks (most in a single draft since 1970), the Ravens found a new massive right tackle in Faalele (similar to Orlando Brown), two corners to rebuild their depth, two tight ends (Kolar is a Mark Andrews clone), and Stout, a bit of a surprise pick given Sam Koch is still on the roster.

Grade: B, Loved the two receiver picks for Pittsburgh, the prospects themselves and when they were selected.

Much like the Senior Bowl nearly a month ago . Kyren Williams will outplay his draft position, especially in Sean McVay's offense, and Quentin Lake is a heady and decently athletic safety. The Ravens and Broncos did it but that is not a blueprint to follow. 1 ( Trevor Lawrence to the Jacksonville Jaguars) through No. Pierce will compete for every yard. The Bears finished tied for last in the NFL in point/differential margin with the Colts at a -8.1 per game, and the Colts averaged 35.5 passes per game.

Rhyan's versatility and toughness made him an easy third-round pick. Doubs and Toure give the team more options at receiver, which was a requirement coming out of this draft.

Particularly of note are the 2012 Seattle Seahawks draft class, which was referenced earlier, and the 2014 Las Vegas Raiders draft class, which included Khalil Mack and Derek Carr. Elam brings speed and scheme diversity to the defense, Khalil Shakir will instantly boost the Bills YAC efforts, and James Cook gave me Alvin Kamara vibes on film.

Grade: A-, Green Bay made bad selections in Round 1 in my opinion. Round 1 WR Kadarius Toney and Round 2 OLB Azeez Ojulari both have first-round ability, and Toney should help third-year QB Daniel Jones get going in the right direction. Ferguson separates better than his timed speed indicates, and he has strong hands and solid blocking skills. Schoen also traded down twice before grabbing a tough, undersized receiver in Robinson. Overall, the Minnesota Vikings (Rick Spielman has garnered a lot of respect over the years), Jacksonville Jaguars (give David Caldwell some props), Cincinnati Bengals (this coincides with their last run of contention), and Baltimore Ravens (Ozzie Newsome, enough said) were lauded most often, while the Carolina Panthers (David Gettleman strikes again), Buffalo Bills (pre-Brandon Beane), Cleveland Browns (management turnover galore), and the Dallas Cowboys (the pre-Will McClay era Jerry Jones) earned less praise.

Durant should be a fine replacement for Darious Williams in the slot and Kendrick's cover skills could overcome his off-field issues and lack of top-end speed.
