The 2025 NFL Draft has concluded and revealed a variety of strategies from NFC teams. The Arizona Cardinals received a B+ grade, bolstering their defense with high-potential players like Walter Nolen and Will Johnson, despite some character concerns. The Atlanta Falcons faced criticism for their D- grade, driven by questionable trades and picks that did not fully address their needs. Carolina Panthers aimed to support quarterback Bryce Young with a B- grade, selecting WR Tetairoa McMillan but lacking a standout among later picks. The Chicago Bears opted for offensive support for their promising QB, adding Colston Loveland and Luther Burden but receiving a C+ grade for overall execution.

Teams like the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants made noise in the draft; Dallas’s prospects had some question marks, particularly in the wide receiver position, while the Giants aced their early rounds with standout selections like Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart, earning an A grade. The Philadelphia Eagles also excelled with focused defensive-minded picks, landing Jihaad Campbell and bolstering their roster with a strong draft. As fantasy enthusiasts dissect these moves, the impact of new rookies like Jalen McMillan for the Buccaneers and the depth of the draft class will require careful consideration for future projections.
