![]() His Saturday haul - which included universally hailed sleepers such as Tavon Young, Chris Moore and Kenneth Dixon - could help rebuild a base of talent which has aged and become untenably expensive. Ozzie Newsome received a whopping six extra picks through compensatory selections and trade-downs, netting the Ravens plenty of help in the trenches and at the offensive skill positions. Though McShay didn't provide any grades for us to include, the rest of the graders echoed his sentiment. 9, but compensated through their work in the later rounds.Ĭomments: On ESPN's broadcast, Todd McShay called the Ravens' five-pick Round 4 bonanza the best fourth-round class he's ever seen from a single team. Farrar thought the Bears reached a bit for Floyd in trading up to pick No. Both Prisco and Iyer believed that Leonard Floyd and Jonathan Bullard could become foundational front seven players, while Day 3 safeties Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson could push for starting roles in the secondary. This draft may be seen as the turning point in that rebuild, as the Bears earned praise for a trenches-heavy class which included five defensive additions. Chicago BearsĬomments: When John Fox and Ryan Pace took over last year, arguably their top priority was overhauling a defense built for a static 4-3 Tampa-2 scheme to better align with Vic Fangio's hybrid 3-4 concepts. ![]() Iyer quibbled with the lack of offensive line help to aid a unit that finished 16th in adjusted line yards and 25th in adjusted sack rate, but the likes of Sheldon Day and Tyrone Holmes were universally seen as strong Day 3 values. Nabbing potential top-five talent Myles Jack in the second round earned universal acclaim, but graders really liked how much Jacksonville targeted its mediocre front seven. The GPA is slightly lower than the 3.86 mark they earned last year, but their range of grades is the exact same as it was in 2015. For the second consecutive year, Dave Caldwell and the Jaguars had the consensus top draft in the league. Jacksonville JaguarsĬomments: No, I did not just copy and paste this from last year's report. Per usual, we'll look at the five teams with the highest, lowest, and greatest deviation in their average GPA, while also examining the year-over-year averages for each grader. Chris Burke and Doug Farrar, Sports Illustrated.Rob Rang, ( AFC East, West, North, South, NFC East, West, North, South).At Sports Illustrated, Chris Burke again graded the AFC teams while Doug Farrar handled the NFC side, which leaves us with this panel: Trevathan injured his elbow in the first quarter of Week 10 game against the Lions.Everyone and their uncle has an opinion about their favorite team's draft class, but what did the media cognoscenti think about every team's weekend in Chicago? As we do every year, we have compiled snap reaction grades from several reputable draftniks for our review on which teams generated the best, worst, and most polarizing feedback following the draft. He saw limited action in the 3rd preseason game of 2015 and then returned in full for Week 1. Trevathan dislocated his left kneecap in Week 15 and required surgery. It was said to be unrelated to his tibial fracture below the same kneecap earlier in 2014. Trevathan suffered a fracture just above his left kneecap. He sat out the final 3 preseason games and the 1st 3 of the regular season. Trevathan suffered a left medial tibial impaction fracture (below the knee cap) in practice.
