2026 NFL Draft Grades! Favorite and least favorite draft classes, biggest surprises
Nate Tice, Matt Harmon & Charles McDonald grade the best & worst 2026 NFL draft classes. The guys start at the top by each revealing the draft classes they think deserve an A (shoutout to the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens) before moving down the grade sheet to the teams that potentially flunked this year’s draft, including the Los Angeles Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams. The guys also cover their favorite day three selections. Later, Nate, Matt & Charles use NFL IQ to analyze the top player-team fits of the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, as they look at the perfect scheme fits for Sonny Styles & the Washington Commanders, Makai Lemon & the Philadelphia Eagles, Fernando Mendoza & the Las Vegas Raiders and Dillon Thieneman & the Chicago Bears.
