Grading the best and worst suits at the NFL draft
The NFL's next stars were dressed to the nines on the red carpet Thursday before the first round of the NFL draft, and several made very bold statements with their choice of attire.
Some of the players looked great. Others, well, not so much.
Clemson's Deshaun Watson wore orange in college, but he sported an all-blue look set off by a bow tie.
Grade: B+
Mitch Trubisky paid tribute to his alma mater North Carolina in various tones of light blue and mostly pulled it off, but also looked a little like a reluctant groomsman.
Grade: B

Grade for his dad: F

Western Michigan's Corey Davis went with a pink blazer. He probably thought it was daring, but it was mostly meh.
Grade: C

Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer's outfit doesn't seem crazy on the surface, but the secret is what's inside.

Kizer's jacket was lined with a picture of Jack Links Beef Jerky mascot Sasquatch. But it was for charity, so we can't hate on him too much.
Grade: C+
LSU safety Jamal Adams looked clean - and maybe a bit like an assassin in a spy movie - in a white checked suit with an open collar.
Grade: A

Tennessee's Derek Barnett rocked a three-piece burgundy suit with a double-breasted vest. Smart, but maybe a tad garish.
Grade: B-

Colorado's Chidobe Awuzie went very bold, rocking a gold chain over an all-black setup. Very slick.
