2025 NFL Draft Team Grades
NFL draft grades roundup
Here's my annual compilation of NFL Draft grades in one big spreadsheet.
For the 2025 NFL Draft, I collected a total of 24 different evaluations and added up the respective grades for the 32 teams to determine their GPA for this year's draft class.
The top 5 draft classes by GPA are the New England Patriots (3.67), New York Giants (3.65), Seattle Seahawks (3.63), Kansas City Chiefs (3.49) and Philadelphia Eagles (3.46).
The Cincinnati Bengals draft got by far the worst GPA (2.06). The Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins are ranked 30th with 2.33.
Sorted by GPA for all 32 teams.
I sorted the 24 evaluations by GPA as well. From left (soft grader) to right (hard graders).
My big thanks goes out to the many people who invest their time every year right after the draft to evaluate the 32 different draft classes according to their individual standards. Of course, you can't make a more accurate assessment of the draft classes for another 2-3 years, but this is about first impressions. And a grade doesn't mean much if you haven't read the journalist's assessment. That's why I've listed the links to the 24 articles here, where you can read their reasons for these grades in detail. Enjoy!
