USA TODAY not a fan of our Draft.

Kansas City Chiefs

Grade: C-

Analysis: This might be one of those classes that will look better in a couple years, since there wasn’t a single sexy pick that was a complete need-value fit. But Mississippi State DT Chris Jones gives the Chiefs more depth up front (and protection in case Dontari Poe winds up eventually leaving in free agency), and the Chiefs might have found a new backup for QB Alex Smith in Stanford’s Kevin Hogan. That pick is not good news for 2014 draft pick Aaron Murray.


Oakland Raiders

Grade: B-

Analysis: The secondary still needed help, and Oakland got the draft’s best safety at No. 14 overall in West Virginia’s Karl Joseph. Moving up in the fourth round to draft Michigan State QB Connor Cook is a sign GM Reggie McKenzie hasn’t forgotten his Green Bay roots. While this isn’t an ideal situation for Cook, who will now be competing for a backup job, it’s a long-game move for the Raiders.

Denver Broncos

Grade: B+

Analysis: Give John Elway plenty of credit for the way he played this quarterback situation. Though a battle between Mark Sanchez and Memphis' Paxton Lynch, whom Denver traded up to No. 26 to select, is far from ideal for the defending Super Bowl champions, Lynch is a good long-term prospect and a far better bargain than any of the veterans the Broncos pursued. Denver also addressed needs on the second day with Georgia Tech DL Adam Gotsis and Boston College S Justin Simmons, helping fill voids left in free agency.


San Diego Chargers

Grade: C

Analysis: Defensive coordinator John Pagano has to like this class, but how do you think QB Philip Rivers feels about it? The defense is now better and deeper, thanks a pair of Ohio State players in DE Joey Bosa and LB Joshua Perry. But other than drafting USC center Max Tuerk, the Chargers did little in the draft to improve their ability to protect Rivers.
