2024 The NFL Draft It's in the books, but there's still a lot to discuss. Now that 257 players have heard their names called, it's time to analyze how each team fared in its draft class. That's what we'll be doing with our team-wise grades below, so let's get to it!

(To see each club's full draft class and grades for each pick, go to CBS Sports Draft Tracker.)

AFC East

AFC South

AFC North

Pittsburgh Steelers

A+

It was a home run draft, and every pick they made made the Steelers scream. First-round offensive lineman Troy Fatanu will make an immediate impact.

Baltimore Ravens

A-

In Ravens form, they had another good draft. Nate Wiggins is the best man corner in the class, and they excel in the trenches.

Cleveland Browns

b-

The Browns don't have many needs on their roster, so they got good depth pieces.

Cincinnati Bengals

b-

The Bengals got the offensive tackle of the future in Amarius Mims and some depth pieces to play with if they need to.

AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs B+ Getting Xavier Worthy opens up the passing game downfield. The Chiefs grabbed good footballers along with their other picks.
Los Angeles Chargers B It will be interesting to see if Joe Alt can switch from RT to LT. Ladd McConkey gives you a playmaker on the outside.
Las Vegas Raiders D No point in taking Brock Bowers. The Raiders didn't take a shot at a QB.
Denver Broncos D Taking the Bo Knicks at 12 is a reach. Also, despite the Knicks' teammate in Troy Franklin, not taking a WR until the fourth round is troubling.

NFC South

NFC North

NFC East

NFC West
