The NFL Draft weekend concluded with a mix of excitement and anticipation as teams made critical decisions to bolster their rosters. A notable storyline was Shedeur Sanders' journey; he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, raising questions about his potential as a starting QB. This selection aligns with the Browns' current QB dynamics, which include experienced players like Joe Flacco and the recovering Deshaun Watson.

On the defensive side, the San Francisco 49ers made significant investments, using their first five picks to strengthen their defense, particularly after losing key players. However, not all choices were met with approval; the Detroit Lions received lower draft grades from analysts, leading to debates on their strategy. Additionally, the Ravens made headlines by selecting a kicker for the first time in their history, casting doubt on Justin Tucker's future with the team.
