2024 NFL Draft grades: AFC

Among the marks: Worst grade in the conference belongs to Denver. Meanwhile, defending champion Kansas City has reason to smile. Again.

Overall draft grade: B

Any site that grades teams drafts should go back and grade their own review a few years later.

B is probably about right. I personally would have liked a better OT than Glaze. I wasn’t the biggest Fuaga fan because he was described similar in run blocking and aggression to a couple of prior raiders OT in gallery and Leatherwood. Maulers/roadgraters. Makes you worried about his pass pro given he has traits that are better for OG than OT. But if he’s a legit RT in the nfl I think that was the better value.

Really up to the OC to best utilize Mayer and Bowers at TE.

Listened to GMs post draft interview (podcast) and one point he made was that they were only looking at QB in 1st and 2nd rounds, but nothing fell to them.

Any QB you take in rounds 1-3, should have a plan to get them playing time. Otherwise, wasting a valuable pick. Look at recent drafts in Corral, Willis, Mond, Trask for example. Teams got like nothing out of them. And in hindsight, TB could have used depth OL or WR as they got hit with major injuries in those positions after they drafted him.

Day 3, guys, more hope that they maybe turn into something or you are thinking backup guy who would only be a game manager and good in the QB room.

Ex-Cowboys WR Michael Gallup reportedly signing 1-year, $3 million deal with Raiders

The Cowboys released Michael Gallup earlier this spring after he posted his worst season in the league last fall.

Weird spot for Gallup to try to turn his career back on track. Given LV seems like they are going to run a lot of 2 TE sets with Mayer and Bowers, not going to be as many 3 WR sets. And his skillset isn't much different than Myers, whereas with Tucker, he is a speedster who can stretch the field and open up the intermediate routes.

Schedule before the bye is much harder than after the week in week 10. The good is that the bye is in the middle of the season. 9 then 8.

Realistically best case is 5-4 before the bye. Or they are 4-5 at the bye. Will need to finish strong to get to 10-7 (6-2 after the bye) to secure a PO spot.
