New York Giants

The Giants got a big steal by selecting Eli Apple with the 10th overall pick. Apple is a great addition to the Giants' secondary, which like the rest of the NFC East, could use the help. They also got a great wide receiver in Sterling Shepard out of Oklahoma and their next star running back in Paul Perkins out of UCLA. It appears the Giants have put all the pieces together for a successful 2016 season.

GRADE: A

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys got the top running back in the league when they drafted Ezekiel Elliot with the fourth overall pick in the draft. After that, however, they stuffed up on several defensive players, a tight end, a running back and a backup for Romo in Dak Prescott. While Prescott is listed as a quarterback, he could also be used as a running back if needed.

GRADE: C

Washington Redskins

The biggest pick the Redskins got was wide receiver Josh Doctson out of TCU. This was a big pickup for them, as the team's leading receiver in 2015 was a tight end in Jordan Reed, so Doctson was a big pickup for them. Nate Sudfield was a waste of a pick. He would do well with another team. With the Redskins, he will sit as the third-string quarterback behind starter Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy.

GRADE C -

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles got Carson Wentz with the second overall pick after a trade with the Cleveland Browns. After that, however, the Eagles picked a bunch of nobodies. They had one of the worst drafts this year. Even Carson Wentz could easily be a bust in Philadelphia.

GRADE: D
