2026 NFL Draft: Winners & Losers

About this episode

The 2026 NFL Draft saw top teams like the Chiefs, Jets, and Bills secure A-plus grades by snagging top talent at corner, edge, and wide receiver. The Browns and Raiders also joined the elite squad, grabbing versatile playmakers early. Drafts by the Ravens, Cowboys, and Giants earned solid A marks by mixing high-upside linemen and defensive backs for depth. The Chargers and Titans focused on trenches and speed to build around their cores. While fans are hyped for Buffalos edge rush boost and Kansas Citys secondary steal, some question the long-term value of early running back picks like Arizonas. Lower marks hit the Steelers, Rams, and 49ers with C-pluses or worse, questioning quarterback reaches and missed values at premium spots. The Jaguars scraped a C-minus, leaning heavy on linemen over skill threats. Overall, this class sets up fun battles come training camp, with fit trumping hype every time.
