Teams drafting both early and late during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night earned top grades from NFL.com analyst Chad Reuter.
Reuter gave "A" grades to the Chicago Bears for drafting former USC quarterback Caleb Williams at No. 1 and to the Las Vegas Raiders for reacting to a sudden lack of available quarterbacks by selecting Georgia tight end Brock Bowers at No. 13.
He also rewarded the Kansas City Chiefs with top marks for trading up to No. 28 and snagging speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy, and to the Dallas Cowboys after they traded down to No.
