2019 AFC East Draft Grades

1. Buffalo Bills - A

The Bills got some valuable additions at the line on both sides of the ball with 7 of their 8 selections being players who will take at least a portion of their snaps at the line of scrimmage.
Ed Oliver DT/DE - A+

Oliver supposedly has the most potential out of any of his draftmates and could become the next interior rusher and run stopper Buffalo has needed since the decline of franchise icon Kyle Williams.

Cody Ford T/G - A

Ford will bring some much needed help to a weak offensive line. Securing Ford in the second round was one hell of a pick by Buffalo. 

Devin Singletary LB - B-

Dawson Knox TE - B-

Vosean Joseph LB - B+

Jaquan Johnson S - A-

Johnson is a hard hitting safety who has the potential to become a big-time player who fits the same sort of mold as Kam Chancellor. 

Darryl Johnson Sr DE - C+

Tommy Sweeney TE - C+

2. New England Patriots - A-

The Pats got another weapon for Tom Brady while also filling some gaps on the defensive side.

N'Keal Harry WR - A-

Harry is a big receiver who has the potential to be a Dez Bryant/Brandon Marshall sort of player for the Pats. If he stays in New England his entire career, and Tom Brady plays 4 more years, I think Harry will be in the hall of fame when it all comes to a close.

Joejuan Williams CB - A-

Williams is a smart player that fits right into Bill Bellichick's scheme and system. Williams has plenty of size and could become one of the league's best physical lockdown corners. His arrival at the Patriots gives New England some secondary size they haven't seen since Brandon Browner. 

Chase Winovich DE - B+

Damien Harris RB - B

Harris is a good player, but he will struggle to find any reps behind young studs Sony Michel and James White not to mention Jeremy Hill and Rex Burkhead. 

Yodny Cajuste T - B

Hajalte Frodholt G - B-

Froholt is a very physical interior lineman and could be groomed by the greatest OL coach of all-time, Dante Scarnecchia, to become a full-fledged starter in New England within the next 5 years.

Jarrett Stidham QB - C+

Stidham struggled immensely his last year in Auburn, so he fell to the Patriots in the fourth round. While Stidham obviously has talent, I don't believe he's the answer in New England. 

Byron Cowart DT - C+

Jake Bailey P - C+

Trading up to take a punter is a strange move, but the Pats executed it on day 3 of the draft. Bailey will be expected to replace Ryan Allen by the end of the season.

Ken Webster CB - C+

3. Miami Dolphins - C+

While the Dolphins might not have had a lot of picks, they made up for quantity with quality in their first two selections for sure. 

Christian Wilkins DT -A

The 'Fins secured the second best true DT in the draft in Wilkins. His big body will be a huge issue interior offensive linemen especially on run plays. 

Michael Deiter G - B-

Andrew van Ginkel LB - C+

Isaiah Prince T - B

Chandler Cox FB - C

Myles Gaskins RB - C

4. New York Jets - C+

The Jets landed two top defenders in the first two rounds and then proceed to bring in a big body TE in Trevon Wesco. 

Quinnen Williams DT - A+

Arguably the best player in the draft, the Jets now get to pair Williams with Leonard Williams and DC Gregg Williams to officially be underway in their DL rebuilding project. With another piece or two, this Gang Green DL could be quite scary. 

Jachai Polite LB - B+

Polite was very highly rated going into the draft and possesses great speed and burst to chase down runners or the quarterback. His run defense needs some improvement, but other than that he has all the tools to be a successful outside 3-4 linebacker. 

Chuma Edoga T - C+

Trevon Wesco TE - C+

Blake Cashman LB - B-

Blessuan Austin CB - C
