Mel Kiper Picks Best, Worst, Sleepers
With the 2023 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and the rookie season coming to a close, it's time to take a look back and re-rank each team's draft class. Here's how every team's Day 2 picks fared, according to Mel Kiper Jr.'s grades:
1. Kansas City Chiefs (B+)
The Chiefs' Day 2 picks all played significant roles in their Super Bowl run. George Karlaftis was a force on the defensive line, while Skyy Moore and Leo Chenal made key contributions on offense and defense, respectively.
2. Cincinnati Bengals (B)
The Bengals added some much-needed depth to their defense with their Day 2 picks. Dax Hill and Cam Taylor-Britt both played well in the slot, while Zach Carter provided a solid presence on the interior defensive line.
3. Philadelphia Eagles (B-)
The Eagles' Day 2 picks were a bit of a mixed bag. Nakobe Dean missed most of the season with an injury, while Jordan Davis showed some flashes but was inconsistent. However, Hasson Reddick had a breakout season as a pass rusher.
4. Chicago Bears (C+)
The Bears had a solid Day 2, led by the impressive play of Kyler Gordon at cornerback. Jaquan Brisker also showed some promise as a safety, while Braxton Jones started at left tackle for most of the season.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars (C)
The Jaguars' Day 2 picks were a bit uneven. Devin Lloyd had a strong season at linebacker, while Chad Muma struggled to find his footing. Travon Walker had a quiet rookie year, but he showed some upside.
6. Houston Texans (C-)
The Texans' Day 2 picks were disappointing overall. Jalen Pitre missed most of the season with an injury, while Derek Stingley Jr. struggled to live up to expectations at cornerback.
7. New York Jets (D+)
The Jets' Day 2 picks were a major disappointment. Breece Hall missed most of the season with an injury, while Jeremy Ruckert and Garrett Wilson struggled to produce consistently.
8. Carolina Panthers (D)
The Panthers' Day 2 picks were a complete disaster. Ikem Ekwonu struggled at left tackle, while Matt Corral and Bryce Young both failed to make an impact at quarterback.
