NFL Draft Grades: How do all 32 teams score?
With the 2020 NFL Draft officially complete, theScore's NFL editors hand out their initial grades for how teams fared over the course of the three-day event.
NFC
EAST | NORTH | SOUTH | WEST
AFC
EAST | NORTH | SOUTH | WEST
Dallas Cowboys
| Round | Pick | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 17 | WR CeeDee Lamb |
| 2 | 51 | CB Trevon Diggs |
| 3 | 82 | DT Neville Gallimore |
| 4 | 123 | CB Reggie Robinson II |
| 4 | 146 | C Tyler Biadasz |
| 5 | 179 | DE Bradlee Anae |
| 7 | 231 | QB Ben DiNucci |
Grade: A
It's difficult to envision a bigger winner from the 2020 draft than Jerry Jones' squad. Though receiver wasn't the Cowboys' biggest need, selecting Lamb - easily the top remaining prospect on the board - was a no-brainer. The value picks didn't end there. Diggs, Gallimore, Biadasz, and Anae each could have been selected earlier than their slot, and all of them address Dallas' greatest needs. The Cowboys might be NFC East favorites after a stellar draft.
New York Giants
| Round | Pick | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | OT Andrew Thomas |
| 2 | 36 | S Xavier McKinney |
| 3 | 99 | OT Matt Peart |
| 4 | 110 | CB Darnay Holmes |
| 5 | 150 | G Shane Lemieux |
| 6 | 183 | LB Cameron Brown |
| 7 | 218 | LB Carter Coughlin |
| 7 | 238 | LB T.J. Brunson |
| 7 | 247 | CB Chris WIlliamson |
| 7 | 255 | LB Tae Crowder |
Grade: A-
Kudos to Dave Gettleman. The Giants general manager came into the draft with a plan and he executed it well. Thomas wasn't the consensus top tackle prospect but he has All-Pro potential and will make life easier for Daniel Jones. McKinney represents outstanding value at No. 36 and fills a major weakness. From Round 3 onward, New York hauled in a few solid players at key roster positions - including Peart, who has long-term starter potential at right tackle. After two questionable drafts, Gettleman's 2020 class looks great on paper.
Philadelphia Eagles
| Round | Pick | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | WR Jalen Reagor |
| 2 | 53 | QB Jalen Hurts |
| 3 | 103 | LB Davion Taylor |
| 4 | 127 | S K'Von Wallace |
| 4 | 145 | OT Jack Driscoll |
| 5 | 168 | WR John Hightower |
| 6 | 196 | LB Shaun Bradley |
| 6 | 200 | WR Quez Watkins |
| 6 | 210 | OT Prince Tega Wanogho |
| 7 | 233 | DE Casey Toohill |
Grade: C
It's easy for Eagles fans to be disappointed. With CeeDee Lamb within striking range, the famously aggressive Howie Roseman opted to stay put and allowed a premier wideout to fall to a division rival. Reagor addresses the team's biggest need, but he still feels like a reach. Meanwhile, the Hurts selection was among the draft's most puzzling. Roseman may want to build a "quarterback factory," but there were numerous talented prospects available that would have immediately aided a Super Bowl contender. Philadelphia uncovered a ton of value on Day 3, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the team's early woes.
Washington Redskins
| Round | Pick | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | DE Chase Young |
| 3 | 66 | WR/RB Antonio Gibson |
| 4 | 108 | OT Saahdiq Charles |
| 4 | 142 | WR Antonio Gandy-Golden |
| 5 | 156 | C Keith Ismael |
| 5 | 162 | LB Khaleke Hudson |
| 7 | 216 | S Kamren Curl |
| 7 | 229 | DE James Smith-Williams |
Grade: B
Washington came away with a solid, if unspectacular, 2020 class. As the consensus top overall prospect, Young should immediately terrorize opposing blockers, while Gibson, Gandy-Golden, and the two offensive linemen help improve Dwayne Haskins' supporting cast. We especially love Gibson as a versatile weapon. Overall, the Redskins nabbed a handful of potential contributors while addressing most of their weaknesses.
