2026 Draft Grades
Graded on value and roster construction right after the draft — not on results, since the season hasn't started yet.
Immaculate ConcepcionHassnain
1.11 Jonathan Taylor (kept at a Round 1 cost) plus 2.02 Saquon Barkley gives this roster the best RB1/RB1 combo in the league. Add 3.11 Jaylen Waddle, 4.02 Terry McLaurin and 5.11 Sam LaPorta and this is a stacked, top-heavy monster with almost no weak spot.
Mamba Mentalitykumail
1.01 Ashton Jeanty and 3.01 Malik Nabers alone are league-winning assets, and 4.12 Patrick Mahomes gives a rock-solid floor at QB. The RB2 spot (Jeremiyah Love) and late flier (Travis Hunter) are boom-or-bust, but the top of this roster is as good as anyone's.
ScypherSadiq
1.08 Jahmyr Gibbs and 12.08 De'Von Achane — both kept — is the best RB duo in the league relative to what it actually cost. 2.05 Nico Collins anchors the receiving corps. Quarterback is a total question mark (Dart, Shough, Tagovailoa), but the RB efficiency alone carries this class.
Hakka PUKA!!Parvez
1.03 Ja'Marr Chase is the safest true WR1 in the game, 2.10 Jayden Daniels (kept) is exceptional QB value, and 15.03 Puka Nacua (kept) is one of the single best keeper bargains in the league. Deep at every position with almost no holes.
Hells Angelsomar
1.04 Jaxon Smith-Njigba plus a kept RB1/RB2 in Josh Jacobs and James Cook III gives this team a high floor everywhere. 3.04 Trey McBride and 5.04 Bo Nix round out a quietly complete, well-balanced build.
Sahara and SahilMeisam
1.05 Josh Allen is the safest QB anchor available, 2.08 Kenneth Walker III and 3.05 Breece Hall give a strong RB1/RB2, and 13.05 Garrett Wilson (kept) is a ridiculous value at that cost. WR depth beyond Wilson is unproven, but the top of the roster is excellent.
Chase the Baker Ladd!Turab
1.12 Chase Brown and 2.01 Omarion Hampton is a legitimate workhorse RB1/RB2 pairing, and 14.01 Justin Jefferson (kept via a 2023 trade) is the single best value asset in the entire league. No clear QB1 on the roster is the one real concern.
Christian My Calf HurtSarosh
1.10 Christian McCaffrey (kept) and 2.03 Jalen Hurts is a strong 1-2, with 3.10 Tee Higgins and 8.10 Rome Odunze (kept) stacking the receiving corps. Injury risk at the top (CMC) and thin proven RB depth behind him are the risks.
Philly IllyIlyas
1.09 CeeDee Lamb, 2.04 A.J. Brown and 5.09 Emeka Egbuka (kept) is arguably the best three-deep WR room in the league, and 3.09 Justin Herbert anchors at QB. Running back was almost entirely ignored until Round 4, which is the clear weakness here.
This hill I die onwajahat z
1.02 Lamar Jackson gives elite dual-threat QB upside, 2.11 Amon-Ra St. Brown (kept) is fantastic WR1 value, and 3.02 Derrick Henry still offers bell-cow volume. WR2/WR3 depth (Burden, Reed, Robinson) is unproven boom-or-bust.
Ali Khalid LLCwiseonekms
1.07 Bijan Robinson (kept) is elite value at that cost, and 2.06 Drake London gives a true WR1. But the RB room craters after Bijan (Jadarian Price, Tank Dell, Brian Robinson are all speculative), and the QB room (Goff, developmental rookie Fernando Mendoza) is thin.
Hurts My BrainHussain
1.06 Joe Burrow is a bold, top-heavy QB anchor with real injury-history risk, and 12.06 Brock Bowers (kept) is elite TE value. Running back was a total afterthought until Round 7 — Tuten, Dowdle, Mason and the kept Cam Skattebo are unproven, and that's the roster's clear weak spot.

For reference: how last year's draft actually played out, graded with the benefit of hindsight.
Champ ScypherSadiq
1.02 Jahmyr Gibbs, 2.11 Josh Allen, 3.02 Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Turned this class into a 14-0 regular season and the league's best offense (2660 PF) — as good a draft-to-results translation as it gets.
Mamba Mentalitykumail
1.01 Ashton Jeanty plus 2.12 Marvin Harrison Jr. gave this roster a true bell-cow plus a difference-making WR2. Rode it to the title.
Christian My Calf HurtSarosh
1.11 Christian McCaffrey as the anchor, with Amon-Ra St. Brown falling to 2.02. Volatile due to McCaffrey's injury history, but the depth carried them to the championship game.
Hells Angelsomar
1.07 Nico Collins and a string of solid Round 2-4 value (Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, James Cook) built a deep, well-rounded 9-5 roster.
Sahara and SahilMeisam
1.09 Malik Nabers and 2.04 A.J. Brown gave this team an elite WR duo; the roster scored top-6 in the league.
Hakka PUKA!!Parvez
1.05 CeeDee Lamb and 2.08 Jayden Daniels — a solid 1-2 punch that delivered a 7-7 record and a playoff berth.
Hurts My BrainHussain
1.04 Derrick Henry was a slam-dunk pick, but thin depth behind him (Bo Nix at 3.04) left this team unable to survive injuries. Talent outpaced the record.
Chig-Chig BoomHassnain
1.10 Jonathan Taylor was a strong start, but the middle rounds (Omarion Hampton, Courtland Sutton) never hit their upside consistently.
You're Ma Nanga GuyTurab
1.12 Drake London and a QB-heavy build (Mahomes at 5.12, Jefferson at 14.01) — talented on paper, but a 6-8 finish says the roster construction needs a rethink for 2026.
Tera Boutte Mein DandaIlyas
1.06 Lamar Jackson was elite value, but the supporting cast (Terry McLaurin, Trey McBride) didn't provide enough separation from the pack.
Ali Khalid LLCwiseonekms
1.08 Bijan Robinson had bust potential written all over it in a good way, but this roster saw the least activity in the league all year (11 moves, $70 of FAAB unused) — a sign the original plan didn't get much of a chance to adjust.
This hill I die onwajahat z
1.03 Saquon Barkley was arguably the draft's best value pick, but the rest of the roster produced the league's lowest scoring output. A season to forget despite the headline pick.
