2024 NFL Draft Recap: Grades for EVERY Team | Full Episode

In this special jam-packed episode of the NFL on FOX Podcast, Dave Helman is back to recap the full 2024 NFL Draft with help from the FOX Sports NFL reporters. First, Dave is joined by Carmen Vitali to break down the NFC North. Are the Chicago Bears the biggest winners of the draft? Did the Minnesota Vikings give up too much to get their guys? Have the Detroit Lions fixed their secondary? And will the Green Bay Packers expect big contributions from their rookie class? Then, Dave gives his best fits from days 2 and 3 of the draft in our Best Home Fit segment brought to you by Zillow, featuring the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, and Philadelphia Eagles. After that, Ralph Vacchiano joins the show to recap the NFC East. Are the Dallas Cowboys resetting by building through the trenches? As good as the Washington Commanders haul was, does the success of this class hinge on QB Jayden Daniels? Is this Daniel Jones' best and last shot to succeed for the New York Giants? And how does Eagles GM Howie Roseman pull off trade magic every year? Next, Dave names his biggest winners and losers of the draft, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals taking the "winners" crown while the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns lead the "losers" category. Then, Dave talks to Greg Auman to analyze the NFC South. What was the process behind the Atlanta Falcons taking QB Michael Penix Jr. at pick #8 overall? Are the New Orleans Saints now positioned to trade CB Marshon Lattimore? Have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers successfully replaced retired center Ryan Jensen and free agent loss DE Shaquil Barrett with rookies Graham Barton and Chris Braswell? And can the Carolina Panthers be competitive in 2024 with this draft class? Finally, Dave hands out grades to the remaining teams, hitting the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, and Indianapolis Colts.

"Why'd they move up for Legette?" You mean 1 spot? Swapping a 5th for a 6th? Gaining a 5th year option? "Why'd they draft a RB when they have Miles Sanders." Miles Sanders, huh? Tell me you didn't do any research on the Panthers without telling me.

Caleb is going to be a lot of drama. Let’s see if he works unlike the other Lincoln Riley Divas drafted 1 overall (Murray, Mayfield). I’m skeptical.

[@Kamikaze3557]

I laugh at draft grades in the face! Yet I watch…smile

[@folumb]

Jerry meant "all in" on the undrafted free agent market. Jerrah is goin absolutely crazy there. Too bad none of those guys will make the final roster.... but he sure went all in there.

[@jakemackay1747]

Chiefs had the best draft, given draft position they got hands down the best value.

[@123shoshan]

How ? Adonai Mitchell is better than worthy

[@jakemackay1747]

@@123shoshan he is but it’s not by a massive margin and the Chiefs absolutely aced the rest of the draft.

[@originalnorseman462]

She is great. I will find her on Twitter. Everyone tells us it's going to take 3 1st rounders to move up. Then say we spent too much even though we have next year's 1st round pick and Dallas Turner. Dave , you sound like Mel Kiper for crying out loud. I give us an A. 😎

[@MarcusTut-lz8ok]

Soooo Dave I'm confused when the cowboys talk about counting their traded for players as draft picks you laugh at them but it's OK to do it with the bears??

[@BrockandRoll6969]

The cowboys traded for Trey Lance, not Keenan Allen and Montez Sweat lmao

[@larrybrown9883]

I've always said that grading drafts before any players has even played for their team in real games at least a season is completely hypothetical and subjective opinion. Maybe you grade a 1st or second rounder by mid season but everything else is simply ones opinion based on their like or dislike of the pick.

[@chavezychavez323]

Easily the worst draft grade show. Talking about a punter in the 4th round being the best draft class.....😂

[@mufcmike7]

Great job Dave

[@perkosean]

HES A PUNTER in the 4th automatic grade deduction. They get a solid B. Jankowski in the first

[@mitchstaff8281]

Vikings--top 5 defense????? They aren't top 3 in the North and the Lions and Packers backups might be better.

[@sammywilliams6]

A- for vikes he trippin 🔥💯

[@justwait9822]

Have to take into account they have no draft picks next year

[@jmoney5794]

@@justwait9822nah he tripping they are grading the picks for this draft not futures

[@ninjalbatross]

Bears spent a luxury pick on WR when they had bigger holes, a project OL, and a punter. Packers left the draft with 4-5 starters and another 5-6 guys for depth on a roster that’s already better than the Bears.

[@Acrnavy]

Odunze isn’t a luxury when Allen is only on a one year deal. Bears got two blue chips compared to potential starters by the Packers.

[@ninjalbatross]

@@Acrnavy Absolutely is when they have tons of holes and no depth. Packers got the best LB/safety/RB in the draft and added a ton of depth. You assuming the Bears first two picks are guarantees is just hilarious and so on par for Bears fans.

[@adriand.9277]

Oh god it’s Carmen again. Why torture us like this??????

[@wu_ODB_tang]

DEI! Isn’t it wonderful lol

[@PaperChaserCEO]

This guy is a hater. Texans draft was a B or B+

[@CanWeSmash]

Maybe he's not a hater. It's hard to have intimate knowledge of all 32 teams

[@christlife76]

Giants got a undrafted QB Liam Thompson. Do your research

[@BigJoeChestnut]

At this point the rest of the league needs to stop trading with Howie. That nerd sold his soul to the devil or something.
