The 2025 NFL Draft has concluded, and analysts are busy dissecting each team's performance, evaluating the value of their selections, and projecting their potential impact on the upcoming season. While it's impossible to definitively declare winners and losers before these rookies even step onto the field, several teams have garnered high praise for their draft strategies, while others are facing scrutiny for questionable decisions. Here's a look at how some teams fared, according to early evaluations:

AFC East

The Buffalo Bills are receiving high marks for addressing key defensive needs. They snagged cornerback Maxwell Hairston and edge rusher Landon Jackson, adding talent and attitude to their defense. Securing safety help was also addressed, potentially solidifying their secondary. The New York Jets focused on offensive improvements, aiming to bolster their protection for Aaron Rodgers.

AFC North

The Baltimore Ravens, known for their consistent drafting success, are being lauded for their balanced approach. They added playmakers on both sides of the ball, with safety Malaki Starks headlining their draft class. The Cincinnati Bengals, however, are raising some eyebrows, with analysts questioning their value selections. The Cleveland Browns' draft strategy has been described as "confounding" by some, with their rationale behind certain picks unclear.

AFC West

The Las Vegas Raiders are being commended for their draft, particularly the selection of running back Ashton Jeanty. The Los Angeles Chargers are aiming to build a strong offensive identity under coach Jim Harbaugh, selecting running back Maran Hampton. The Kansas City Chiefs, despite limited needs, managed to add intriguing talent to their roster, focusing on defensive line reinforcements.

NFC East

The Philadelphia Eagles are consistently earning high praise for their draft hauls under GM Howie Roseman. They focused on bolstering their defense with players like Jiad Campbell and Andrew Makuba, while also finding potential value in later rounds. The Dallas Cowboys are getting a solid grade for filling needs, particularly on the offensive line with Tyler Booker, though some question the value of the pick. The New York Giants are also viewed positively, with analysts highlighting their additions to the pass rush and the acquisition of a potential franchise quarterback in Jaxson Dart.

NFC North

The Detroit Lions are getting a solid B-minus. The Green Bay Packers are being praised for adding a home-run threat at wide receiver with Matthew Golden and bolstering their offensive and defensive lines.

NFC South

The Atlanta Falcons' draft strategy continues to be a point of contention, with some questioning their approach to team building. The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting average grades.

NFC West

The San Francisco 49ers, despite already having a stacked roster, are still acing the draft by adding more defensive firepower. The Arizona Cardinals are viewed as having a solid draft, focusing on defensive upgrades with players like Walter Nolen and Will Johnson.

It's important to remember that these are just initial assessments. The true measure of a draft class will only be revealed as these players develop and contribute to their respective teams in the years to come.
