NFL Draft Day 2 Grades for All 32 Teams
Chad Reuter Unveils Quick-Snap Assessments
ESPN's Chad Reuter has released his highly anticipated quick-snap grades for all 32 NFL teams based on their draft decisions from Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft. These grades provide an instant snapshot of the perceived strengths and weaknesses of each team's draft strategy.
Top Performers
Among the teams earning high marks from Reuter was the New England Patriots, who added playmaking cornerback Joey Porter Jr. with their first pick. The Tennessee Titans' selection of Brian Branch at safety was also met with high praise, as was the Pittsburgh Steelers' acquisition of Paris Johnson Jr. at tackle.
Surprising Picks
Several teams made surprising choices that sparked discussion among analysts. The Detroit Lions' decision to draft quarterback Anthony Richardson over C.J. Stroud was one such move, while the Baltimore Ravens' selection of Daniel Jeremiah over Georgia's Nolan Smith raised some eyebrows.
Potential Busts
Reuter also identified a few picks that he believes could end up as busts. The Carolina Panthers' choice of Christian Gonzalez at cornerback was one such selection, as was the Denver Broncos' selection of Nolan Smith at outside linebacker.
These quick-snap grades are based on Reuter's initial assessment of each team's draft decisions. It remains to be seen how accurate these predictions will be in the long run, but they provide a valuable starting point for discussion and analysis.
