The first round's position mix is 6 RB, 4 WR, 1 QB, 1 TE, using the labels on the draft picks. controls 2 of the 12 first-round selections, at overall picks 3, 4. More early selections create more chances to change a roster, and more of its future becomes tied to whether those players earn usable roles. The board alone cannot settle that question.

The McCafrican Americans: C. 3 selections, including 1 in Round 1; 69% of average weighted draft capital. A smaller share of this draft's opportunities; prior trades and roster strength are outside this grade. That's a draft plan I can get behind. Now comes the fun part: seeing the picks earn those roster spots.
