AFC North Draft Grades

In this episode, I rank and grade each teams' draft according to there division. The reason why I do it by division is because in order to get to the playoffs you must be your division rival. The criteria for which I used to grade this draft is: How many picks a team had to start the draft versus how many they ended with. (more picks doesn't necessarily equate to more success, but more of what you did with the picks etc. trading up or down in the draft.) How many starters versus potential starters. (Can they help you win now or are you looking for a replacement? Did the team reach for a player or did they take the best available? (Looking for value based on ESPN) Did they fill a need on the roster? Do they fit the scheme or identity of the franchise? What we like about a player versus what we don't like. At the end of the day there are no guarantees success is based on the individual player and there environment. (coaching, experience, opportunities etc.) Is the AFC North the toughest division in football? Are the Ravens ready to make a run at the Chiefs? With the Steelers revamped QB room do they have enough on offense to make a run in the playoffs? Can the Bengals keep everyone? Will Deshaun ever be Deshaun Watson of old?
