WHO MADE THE GRADE?

So, the Eagles, Chiefs and Ravens drafted well again. What else is new? Actually, a lot is new with the 2024 NFL Draft. A team that only made five picks and used one on a punter aced the draft. A couple teams usually found at the bottom of the draft rankings and the season standings came away with impressive hauls. And the Rams — who usually are an afterthought during the first round of the draft — set an early tone for a strong class. Here are The Post’s immediate 2024 NFL Draft grades for all 32 teams, with a curve instituted for the first-, secondand third-round picks, and an emphasis on quality and value:

AFC EAST

BUFFALO BILLS

Key Picks: Keon Coleman C (WR, Florida State), Cole Bishop (S, Utah), DeWayne Carter (DT, Duke), Ray Davis (RB, Kentucky) Analysis: Not only did the Bills trade out of the first round, they allowed the rival Chiefs to land speedy WR Xavier Worthy. Better hope Coleman — the first pick of the second round — can step into Stefon Diggs’ shoes and Bishop can step into Jordan Poyer’s.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Key Picks: Chop C+ Robinson (EDGE, Penn State), Patrick Paul (OT, Houston), Jaylen Wright (RB, Tennessee) Analysis: Of course, the blazing fast Wright went to the speed-obsessed Dolphins. Add some more 40-yard touchdowns. Paul thought he was going to be a first-rounder — few agreed, so that could leave a chip on his shoulder. The athletic Robinson gets pressures, not sacks.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

BB+ Key Picks: Drake Maye (QB, North Carolina), Ja’Lynn Polk (WR, Washington), Caedan Wallace (OT, Penn State), Javon Baker (WR, UCF) Analysis: With a solid defense in place for new defensive-minded head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots used their first five picks on offense, following the rookie QB blueprint with pass catchers and blockers. Maye needs some mechanical refining but has a high ceiling.

NEW YORK JETS

Key Picks: Olu Fashanu (OT, Penn State, Malachi Corley (WR, Western Kentucky), Braelon Allen (RB, Wisconsin), Jordan Travis (QB, Florida State) Analysis: Protection for Aaron Rodgers, playmaker for Aaron Rodgers. Why not? Fashanu (right) is muchneeded insurance after the Jets used 16 offensive linemen last season. Corley, a yards-aftercatch machine, could be a Deebo Samuel light. They added a 2025 third-rounder but dealt starting DL John Franklin-Myers.

AFC NORTH

BALTIMORE RAVENS

Key Picks: Nate Wiggins A- (CB, Clemson), Adisa Isaac (EDGE, Penn State), Roger Rosengarten (OT, Washington), T.J. Tampa (CB, Iowa State) Analysis: Tampa fits the Baltimore Way — physicality and toughness — more than Wiggins. But Wiggins is a ballhawk who vowed to be the best cornerback in the first round after slipping to No. 30. Rosengarten helps after three-fifths of last year’s starting offensive line departed.

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Key Picks: Amarius BD+ Mims (OT, Georgia), Kris Jenkins (DT, Michigan), Jermaine Burton (WR, Alabama), McKinnley Jackson (DT, Texas A&M) Analysis: Mims (seven career starts) and Jenkins (29 consecutive starts) are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Bengals can allow Mims to develop behind Trent Brown while their other high picks contribute right away. Burton adds vertical speed to a dynamic passing attack.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

Key Picks: Michael Hall Jr. (DT, Ohio State), Zak Zinter (G, Michigan) Analysis: With only two picks in the first four rounds, it seems risky to use one on a reach (Hall) and one on a first-round talent (Zinter) who broke his tibia and fibula in November. The Browns like young draft picks, and Hall is only 20.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Key Picks: Troy Fautanu A (OL, Washington), Zach Frazier (C, West Virginia), Roman Wilson (WR, Michigan), Payton Wilson (LB, North Carolina State), Mason McCormick (G, South Dakota State) Analysis: For the first time since 1976, the Steelers used three of their first five picks on the offensive line to protect sackprone QB Russell Wilson. Both Wilsons in their draft class went later than expected. Payton Wilson was voted the nation’s defensive player of the year.

AFC SOUTH

HOUSTON TEXANS

Key Picks: Calen Bullock CB (S, USC), Kamari Lassiter (CB, Georgia), Blake Fisher (OT, Notre Dame) Analysis: The Texans made their big splash trading a first-round pick to the Vikings and flipping a second-round pick for WR Stefon Diggs. The first- and second-round double whammy in the secondary. Put Lassiter in the slot and Bullock in center field.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Key Picks: Laiatu Latu (EDGE, UCLA), Adonai Mitchell (WR, Texas), Matt Goncalves (OT, Pittsburgh) Analysis: GM Chris Ballard’s rant trashing anonymous sources knocking players was good TV. But can he explain why Mitchell slipped to No. 52 if those assessments about his attitude were wrong? Latu had 23.5 sacks in 25 games after a brief medical retirement (neck) that has to be a concern.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Key Picks: Brian Thomas C Jr. (WR, LSU), Maason Smith (DT, LSU), Jarrian Jones (CB, Florida State) Analysis: The Calvin Ridley-less Jaguars failed to trade up for a top-three receiver, so they traded down and made Thomas WR4 in the first round. Smith is a firstround talent who was beset by injuries and a suspension. Maybe their scouts only saw LSU play?

TENNESSEE TITANS

Key Picks: JC Latham D+ (OT, Alabama), T’Vondre Sweat (DT, Texas), Cedric Gray (LB, North Carolina) Analysis: A boom-or-bust class right from the top. Was Latham (right) a panic move after the Chargers surprisingly stayed at No. 5 and took Joe Alt? Sweat might have been available a round or two later because of character concerns. Bringing a known partygoer to Nashville is risky.

AFC WEST

DENVER BRONCOS

Key Picks: Bo Nix (QB, CAB Oregon), Jonah Elliss (EDGE, Utah), Troy Franklin (WR, Oregon) Analysis: Head coach Sean Payton’s overthe-top praise for Nix sounds like he is convincing himself that drafting the sixthrated quarterback on most teams’ boards at No. 12 was smart. No doubt pairing Nix with his favorite college receiver — after Franklin inexplicably fell to No. 102 — was smart.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Key Picks: Xavier Worthy (WR, Texas), Kingsley Suamataia (OT, BYU), Jaden Hicks (S, Washington State) Analysis: Worthy (right), the fastest player in NFL combine history, will be catching deep balls from Patrick Mahomes in short order. Suamataia was a polarizing prospect for scouts. There was chatter about Hicks going in the top 60 — and he fell to No. 133.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Key Picks: Brock Bowers (TE, Georgia), Jackson Powers-Johnson (C, Oregon), Delmar Glaze (OT, Maryland) Analysis: It’s regrettable that the Raiders didn’t get one of the top six quarterbacks by staying at No. 13. The mistake is somewhat lessened by landing Bowers — positional value is overrated when it comes to potential greatness — and a potential long-term answer at center.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Key Picks: Joe Alt B+ (OT, Notre Dame), Ladd McConkey (WR, Georgia), Junior Colson (LB, Michigan), Tarheeb Still (CB, Maryland) Analysis: Thought Jim Harbaugh was going to load up on Michigan men? Well, he also loaded up on Michigan opponents. It’s a surprise that the Chargers didn’t trade down in the first round. Who is catching Justin Herbert’s passes without Keenan Allen and Mike Williams?
