Shockwaves in the NFC: Giants Soar with Top Draft Grades While 49ers Plunge into Failure
With the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, it’s time to give out some grades. For all of our AFC grades, check out Eric Froton’s excellent article.
Draft Grade: D+

Pick 3: Jeremiah Love, RB, Notre Dame

Pick 104: Kaleb Proctor, DL, SE Louisiana

Pick 143: Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech

Pick 217: Jayden Williams, OT, Ole Miss
The Cardinals were widely thought to be the clear trade-down spot at the top of the board. With Jacoby Brissett under center for 2026, this is a team that was clearly playing for 2027. If another GM was willing to give them a haul of draft picks, it made sense to take the surplus value and send the No. 3 pick. That never happened and the Cardinals guaranteed Jeremiyah Love more money than any other running back in NFL history. His $53 million contract is fully guaranteed and features $17 million more in guarantees than Saquon Barkley‘s deal. Love is a great running back, but the Cardinals are committed to him as if he’s already the league’s best runner.
