(For the CBS Sports draft tracker, click .)Here are the rules of the game:The "best" player in a cla s may not be the "best" pick, because of the value at the selection number. Not every team made a "bad" pick per se, and some of the picks that are declared the "worst" for a cla s have grades as high as a "B." If there are multiple picks with the same grade, Jordan Dajani stepped in and determined the verdict. Dajani also decided which pick was the most interesting for each team. Ready? Let's go. Best pick (A): OG , Florida (Round 2, Pick 59)Enormous human being who actually plays with more foot quickne Marcell Ozuna Jerseys than his size would indicate. Masher in one-on-one scenarios. Must utilize his length better at next level but already very good anchoring skill. More help for is smart for Buffalo. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C): CB , Oregon State (Round 7, Pick 252)Good size at CB but not lengthy. Tackling i sues appear often on film. Not a burner down the field or high-caliber athlete overall. Found the football often on the perimeter. Natural in that regard. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (C): TE , Utah (Round 1, Pick 25)Trading up for this pick was definitely strange, but Kincaid is a legitimate receiving tight end. Bills fans were probably eyeing a WR2 in the draft, but Kincaid could provide a huge upgrade for Josh Allen and this offense.Best pick (A-): CB , South Carolina (Round 2, Pick 51)This is a battle-tested, feisty, ballhawk who can man up on the perimeter. Athletic and strong. A bit surprised this was a CB given their depth there, but Smith is a stud. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C+): OT , Michigan (Round 7, Pick 238)Cla sic Michigan blocker. Handles his a signments well, pa ses off stunts with ease. Decent power. Not a big-time athlete. Short arms. Has to add weight too. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (B+): RB , Texas A&M (Round 3, Pick 84)Mike McDaniel made his name scheming for the run, and Achane is a BURNER. I don't know that this isn't the Dolphins' best pick of the draft.Best pick (A): CB , Oregon (Round 1, Pick 17)I had him ranked as the top corner in this draft. For him to fall this far is amazing to me. The Patriots traded down and still filled a major position of need. Nice job. (Pete Prisco)Worst pick (F):Kolten Wong Jersey K , Maryland (R4, P112)Accurate kicker but doesn't have a big leg. I get kickers can be drafted but trading up for a kicker in the fourth round? (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (B+): WR , LSU (R6, P187)Low-risk, high-reward. At one point, Boutte was considered to be a rising star in . His career at LSU didn't pan out that way, but could he find succe s at the next level? Intrigued by this prospect. Best pick (A): TE , Old Dominion (Round 7, Pick 220)Most athletic TE in the cla s and plays to it on the field. Looks like an enormous WR on the field. Not quite as good in contested-catch scenarios as his size would indicate. Can separate at the next level. If he stays healthy, this is a great value pick. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C-): LB , Western Michigan (Round 6, Pick 184)Run-and-chase LB with some coverage chops that likely got him drafted. Very productive in college in his last two seasons. Has to get better beating blocks. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (A): RB , Pittsburgh (Round 5, Pick 143)Running back who is just as fast as he's elusive. The Jets have one of the more underrated running back rooms in the , so I'm curious how quickly he contributes in this offense, where he fits in and who the odd man out could be.Best pick (A-): OL , Oregon (Round 6, Pick 199)College OT who probably kicks inside at the next level. Cla sic Ravens pick. Mauler in the run game and very accurate in combo block situations. Flashes of brilliance Paul Goldschmidt Jerseyin pa s pro but opens the gate too early and isn't quite as powerful moving backward. I like this pick. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C-): CB , Stanford (Round 5, Pick 157)Inside out CB with starter traits just technical flaws. Sudden feet but struggles in pre s and had minimal ball productivity in college. Older prospect limits the ceiling. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (C+): OL , USC (Round 7, Pick 229)Vorhees tore his ACL at the NFL Combine. If he didn't, he would have gone much higher than this. Vorhees will mi s his entire rookie season, but if he has a good career after 2023, could this not be a ma sive steal? Why don't more teams do this? I understand every draft pick is valuable, but this was Baltimore's last selection. Remember, the Ravens did this with last year -- although he was a second-round pick.Best pick (A): WR , Princeton (Round 6, Pick 206)Of course faced smaller-school competition, but dominated it. Linear, fluid athlete who's great in end-around game and down the field. Tracks it awesomely and plays to his larger size. Think Lite. Awesome pick this late. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C-): CB DJ Ivey, Miami (Round 7, Pick 246)Size and length specimen who wore many hats in the Miami defense. Not smooth changing directions. Ran decently well. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (B): EDGE , Clemson (Round 1, Pick 28)Murphy is 6-foot-5, 270ish pounds. He recorded the second-most sacks in the ACC over the past three seasons with 18.5, and has the upside many teams are after at his position. Could he make an immediate impact in Cincinnati?Best pick (A-): OL , Ohio State (Round 6, Pick 190)This is a future starter. Does a lot of things well from a technical standpoint and has plus athleticism. Weight and power must be added to his game. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C-): DL , Baylor (Round 3, Pick 98)Super large. Light feet. Bull-rush only pa s-rush arsenal. Actually not Andrew Miller Jerseygreat vs. doubles but a very wide body. Low-level athlete who's not much of a rusher. Understandable add for Browns though. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (B+): WR , Tenne see ( Carlos Martinez Jersey Round 3, Pick 74)The Browns' first draft pick has some value to it. Some thought Tillman could be a second-round player, but he struggled with injuries last season. People forget he caught 64 pa ses for 1,081 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021, and looked like a first-round pick.Best pick (A+): CB , Purdue (Round 7, Pick 241)Tall, lengthy outside CB with a savvy and athletic game. Sticks to WRs and even when he doesn't his length gets him to the football often. Tested well for his ma sive frame. Tremendous tackler. Super steal. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (C): EDGE , Wisconsin (Round 4, Pick 132)Tiny, highly productive rusher with the full arsenal to generate pre sure in college. Just major concerns about his length and size. Gets bullied a lot. Very similar to the pick in 2019. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (A-): TE , Georgia (Round 3, Pick 93)Washington reportedly fell due to medicals, which benefitted the Steelers. Good blocker and underrated in the pa sing game, this could be another "super steal."Best pick (A-): WR , Iowa State (Round 6, Pick 205)Was the obvious No. 1 at Iowa State this season and thrived despite the attention. Well-rounded more so than someone with a specialty. Rebounder type in the red zone and for being a bigger wideout, he's fun after the catch. (Chris Trapa so)Worst pick (D+): LB , Alabama (Round 5, Pick 167)Smaller but feisty between-the-tackles striker. Coverage woes and tackling inconsistency sunk his stock. (Chris Trapa so)Most interesting pick (B-): WR , Houston (Round 3, Pick 69)Small playmaker from Houston, but he was very productive. Last season, Dell caught 109 pa ses for 1,398Click here Click here Click here
