ANALYSIS: Buffalo added a few pieces
to help them make a playoff run this year. Shaq Lawson should help
replace/improve upon the pass rush lost with the departure of Mario Williams.
Reggie Ragland should be a day one starter at middle linebacker. He could be a
tackling machine in this defensive scheme. Adolphus Washington could help
provide some pass rush from the 3-technique spot. Cardale Jones is the
prototypical developmental QB. He will likely not be active on game days this
season but could feasibly compete for the starting job next season with Tyrod Taylor.
Jonathan Williams will likely be the #3 RB on the depth chart behind LeSean
McCoy and Karlos Williams, and will have to fight to get carries. Kolby
Listenbee is one of the fastest players in this draft class. Eric Striker
intrigues me the most of all among the undrafted players brought in. He has one
specific skill (attack the QB) that Rex Ryan may be able to exploit well. The
Bills draft ranked #2 in the league this year according to the DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: Most of Miami’s value in
this draft came on the third day, but a social media sabotage benefitted them
greatly. Minutes before the draft came on the air, a video showing Laremy
Tunsil smoking marijuana using a bong attached to a gas mask was shared on his
Twitter account. Tunsil has said his account was hacked. The presumptive #1
pick a month ago, slid to the 13th pick. If Tunsil can keep his nose
clean, he can be one of the best left tackles in the NFL for a very long time.
Xavien Howard is a long armed corner, who should be able to compete for a
starting spot quickly. I was a little surprised Kenyan Drake went I the third
round, but the talent is there. Injuries and ball security have been the knocks
on him. Leonte Carroo is a physical wide out who should contribute early in the
red zone. Jakeem Grant is a jitterbug on the field. He helps out in the return
game immediately, and will likely have some offensive plays manufactured for
him. Brandon Doughty will compete with Logan Thomas and Zac Dysert for the #3
QB/practice squad spot. The Dolphins draft ranked #7 in the league this year
according to the DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: I know one should not
criticize Bill Belichick, since most of their moves pan out, but this draft was
one of the worst value wise I have seen. New England drafted five players I did
not have a draftable grade on. Of those five, Elandon Roberts was a very
productive collegiate linebacker, and should be able to contribute early on
special teams. Malcolm Mitchell could develop into a solid third option at
receiver. Cyrus Jones at best is a nickel corner. He could be an elite return
man though. I actually think undrafted CB Jonathan Jones is a better corner
than Cyrus Jones. Jacoby Brissett is an interesting pick since they took a
developmental QB a couple of years ago. The Patriots draft ranked dead last in
the league this year according to the DFD value board.

ANALYSIS: The Jets draft was all over
the board. In the first round, they drafted one of the fastest linebackers in
the draft. Darron Lee should be starting sooner, rather than later. Christian
Hackenberg looked like a future #1 pick after his freshman season. The last two
years, he has taken a beating and his accuracy has been awful. He joins a QB
room that features former starter Geno Smith (a ’13 2nd round pick),
Bryce Petty (a ’15 4th round pick), and could eventually see a
return of last year’s starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. Jordan Jenkins was a productive
LB for Georgia, but not as flashy as his much more heralded teammate Leonard Floyd.
Brandon Shell can provide solid depth at tackle. The Jets draft ranked #20 in
the league this year according to the DFD value board.
