2022 NFL draft grades for AFC teams: Patriots get Strange with a C- while Ravens and Jets shine with A-

The picks are in, from No. 1 (Travon Walker to the Jacksonville Jaguars) through No. 263 (Brock Purdy to the San Francisco 49ers), and we have broken all of them down.

Here are our final AFC team-by-team grades for the 2022 NFL draft (picks listed by round and overall pick):

AFC East

Picks: 1-23: Florida CB Kaiir Elam; 2-63: Georgia RB James Cook; 3-89: Baylor LB Terrel Bernard; 5-148: Boise State WR Khalil Shakir; 6-180: San Diego State P Matt Araiza; 6-185: Villanova CB Christian Benford; 6-209: Virginia Tech OT Luke Tenuta; 7-231: Clemson LB Baylon Spector

Favorite pick: Elam

We actually gave a higher instant grade to Bernard, and Cook might add instant juice on third downs to an already dangerous offense.
