2026 NFL Draft Grades

Updated: April 28, 2026

The 2026 NFL Draft is now in the rearview mirror, and soon we will turn our attention to the 2027 NFL Draft.

Before that point, however, it's time for an initial reaction to what happened this past weekend. Who were the winners and losers of the 2026 NFL Draft?

While we believe that the best measurement of the success of a draft class is done after a few years, we've compiled draft grades from a variety of sites and used their grades to arrive a consensus GPA for all teams.
