Grade: A-

It wasn't the most exciting start to the weekend for Dallas, as taking Booker at No. 12 felt like a bit of a reach. But that's not to say he won't be an impact player. The Alabama lineman will pair with Tyler Smith to give the Cowboys an incredibly powerful pair of guards up front. From there, it was was one value pick after another. Ezeiruaku and Revel were considered potential first-round talents heading into the draft. A lack of size was likely the leading factor in Ezeiruaku's slide, but he's a polished edge-rusher who should provide a major upgrade opposite Micah Parsons. Revel has the length, speed, and coverage instincts to be an impact player when he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in September. And everyone waiting on the Cowboys to scoop up a playmaker should be happy with the addition of Blue on Day 3. He's a true home-run hitter who brings speed and elusiveness to the backfield.

Grade: B

The Giants did the right thing not forcing a quarterback at No. 3. While edge rusher certainly wasn't among their top needs heading in, Carter is a true game-changer. You don't pass on a top-two player in a draft short on elite talent. The second pick weighs down our grade a bit. Granted, it's never a bad idea to take a swing on a quarterback. Perhaps Dart does work out in the long run. But he's got a long way to go in terms of processing and decision-making after playing in a QB-friendly offense at Ole Miss. He might need several years of development before he's got a chance to contribute on the field. Trading back into the end of the round to get him hurts the value even more. The Giants didn't have a second-round pick as a result, but they fared well once they got back on the clock. Alexander is a powerful defensive tackle to round out the defensive front, and Skattebo is an incredibly physical runner who might be the perfect early down complement to sophomore back Tyrone Tracy. Keep an eye on Mbow, too. The Purdue product, our No. 45 overall player, has great movement skills for a lineman.

Grade: A

Howie Roseman is at it again. In theory, the draft order should put the Super Bowl champs at a bit of a disadvantage. It rarely works out that way when we're talking about the Eagles. Campbell, our No. 14-ranked player in this class, is arguably the best value pick of Day 1. Mukuba was likely only available at the end of the second round because of his size, but you'd never know it based on the way he plays. He's a physical, downhill force in the run game who also plays with great instincts in coverage. He'll immediately fill a big need for the Philly defense. Don't sleep on Ty Robinson, either. The Nebraska product is an excellent athlete who could contribute right away in Philly's defensive line rotation. And Eagles fans should be thrilled with with Mondon in the fifth round. The Georgia product is one of the best coverage linebackers in this draft, potentially giving him a path to immediate contributions in sub packages.

Grade: A

It sure is strange seeing this organization so consistently making smart moves. That's the power of competent ownership. The overall draft haul is a little light in terms of volume, but you have to factor in the trades made to acquire Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel this offseason. The clear effort to improve the supporting cast around Jayden Daniels continued with a smart pick in the first round, as Conerly is a good athlete who could immediately take over at starting right tackle opposite Tunsil. Amos, our No. 4 cornerback and No. 34 player overall, was a steal at the end of the second round. And Lane is a dynamic playmaker who should be a good fit in Kliff Kingsbury's offense. This team continues to trend in the right direction.
