NFL Draft Rewind: Grades, Prank Calls and More
And just like that, it’s over. The draft that every expert knew exactly how it would pan out proved those pundits partly right, partly wrong and, for the most part, left them befuddled by Shedeur Sanders' prolonged wait for his phone call. The call that wasn’t a prank, that is. Here’s a complete rewind of the league’s three-day reality show, including grades, the Browns’ increasingly crowded quarterback room, and (why not?) a 2026 first-round mock draft.
Grades and Takeaways
Arizona gets an A, Seattle puts on a masterclass, Cleveland essentially gets a 2nd-round QB in the 5th.

Sanders takes high road over late pick that had everyone baffled, and the prank call that had one defensive coordinator red-faced.

Plus, Tyler Warren’s prank call, Jalen Milroe’s revenge tour, Aaron Rodgers’ next move.
