NFL Draft Grades 2017 - How the Team all fared

       The 2017 NFL Draft wrapped up on Saturday and the countdown of the next 19 weeks to the Season will mold some of the players selected into players fitting the NFL Rosters. It was an interesting and intriguing draft for sure with Teams using their picks as they seen fit. The first round saw the Bears make the first big move moving up just one spot but it was to take what they think is their next franchise QB in North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky. The move caught many by surprise including HC John Fox who had no idea the team was making this bold move. Also, the KC Chiefs made a huge move in trading with the Buffalo Bills to move into the 10th slot and take the 2nd QB in the first round in Patrick Mahomes.  Some teams had a good to excellent draft, some were just so so, nothing special, and others were down right ugly. The Browns had 3 picks in the first round and seem to be using the draft to build for long term success but they still are missing the most important component of a winning team and that is a franchise QB. The biggest news out of the draft was the taking of Joe Mixon by the Bengals.
      Normally in years past, I mentioned which Top teams had the best draft, 4 to 6 who had good but not excellent drafts, and then the bottom 4 teams whose draft was ugly at best.  This year, I was asked by many to grade the NFL teams as to where I thought they graded out for the Draft. I am going to do both, so here it goes, enjoy and give me all your feedback as you always do..  twitter; @cupofjoeinthed   email; cupofjoeinthed@gmail.com    www.cupofjoeinthed.blogspot.com
