(AP) — NFL draft picks can make an instant impact on a team’s immediate success.

Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick last year, led the Washington Commanders to the NFC championship game. Cooper DeJean, a second-round selection, had a pick-6 against Patrick Mahomes in Philadelphia’s Super Bowl victory over Kansas City.

Some rookies will need more time to develop. Caleb Williams, who was the No. 1 pick in 2024, had a tough start in Chicago and the Bears went 5-12 and fired their coach.

It usually takes two or three years to fairly grade a draft, but here are AP’s early grades on each team’s overall draft:

ARIZONA CARDINALS: B

Defensive tackle Walter Nolen (16) is a plug-and-play starter who went a few slots higher than most projections. CB Will Johnson (47) is a first-round talent who slipped because of injury concerns. DL Jordan Burch (78) and LB Cody Simon (115) need more development.

ATLANTA FALCONS: B+

Edge Jalon Walker (15) was a top-10 projection who’ll boost the pass rush. Trading up to get edge James Pearce Jr. (26) could have the same impact on Atlanta’s defense as the Eagles got after taking CBs Quinyon Mitchell and DeJean last season. S Xavier Watts (96) fits coach Raheem Morris’ scheme. S Billy Bowman Jr. (118) has to be more consistent at the next level.

BALTIMORE RAVENS: B+

S Malaki Starks (27) is mature, talented and can thrive on a team that knows how to develop safeties. Edge Mike Green Jr. (59) is excellent value. He was a first-round projection who slipped due to off-field concerns. OT Emery Jones Jr. (91) and LB Teddye Buchanan (129) are possible Day 3 steals.

BUFFALO BILLS: B+

CB Maxwell Hairston (30) brings energy and aggressive coverage skills to a secondary that needed the help. DL T.J. Sanders (41) will boost run defense. Edge Landon Jackson (72), DL Deone Walker (109) and CB Jordan Hancock (170) provide more depth for Buffalo’s defense.

CAROLINA PANTHERS: B

WR Tetairoa McMillan (8) went earlier than expected for a guy with some question marks who’s loaded with talent. Edges Nic Scourton (51) and Princely Umanmielen (77) are excellent value picks and should make an immediate impact on a defense that needs pass rushers. RB Trevor Ettiene (114) can make plays. TE Mitchell Evans (163) is a nice addition. S Lathan Ransom (122) and DL Cam Jackson (140) deepen the defensive depth.

CHICAGO BEARS: B+

TE Colston Loveland (10) is an ideal fit for coach Ben Johnson’s offense. WR Luther Burden III (39) was a first-round projection who gives Caleb Williams another playmaker. OT Ozzy Trapilo (77) is mammoth (6-foot-8, 315) and has high upside. DL Shemar Turner (62), LB Ruben Hyppolite II (132) and CB Zah Frazier (169) are Day 3 value.

CINCINNATI BENGALS: B-

Edge Shemar Stewart (17) is raw but immensely talented and provides help for a defense that needs it. LB Demetrius Knight Jr. (49) can play right away and LB Barrett Carter (119) has potential. Added depth on the offensive line with G Dylan Fairchild (81) and LG Jalen Rivers (153). Running back Tahj Brooks (193) could be a steal in the sixth round.

CLEVELAND BROWNS: B+

Traded No. 2 and passed up Travis Hunter to add more draft capital and got DT Mason Graham (5). Often mocked to take QB Shedeur Sanders in the first round and ended up getting him at No. 144 after taking QB Dillon Gabriel (94). That’s great value for Sanders after a surprise in the third round.. LB Carson Schwesinger (33) is versatile. RB Quinshon Judkins (36) has playmaking talent. TE Harold Fannin Jr. (67) has high upside. RB Dylan Sampson (126) could be a sleeper.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS: B

DT Derrick Harmon (21) fits the scheme nicely. RB Kaleb Johnson (83) has playmaker potential. Edge Jack Sawyer (123) is a Day 3 highlight. CB Yahya Black (164) and LB Carson Bruener are solid value picks. Finally took a QB and came away with a winner in Will Howard (185).

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: B-

Edge Mykel Williams (11) could shine opposite Nick Bosa. DL Alfred Collins (43) plugs a need in the middle of the defensive line. LB Nick Martin (75) needs more development. CB Upton Stout is smallish but fast. DL CJ West (113) and S Marques Sigle (160) are among their Day 3 highlights.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: B+

OL Grey Zabel (18) can play anywhere and the offensive line needs help. S Nick Emmanwori (35) has first-round talent. TE Elijah Arroyo (50), QB Jalen Milroe (92), DL Rylie Mills (142) and WR Tory Horton (166) are strong value picks. So is RB Damien Martinez (223) in the seventh round.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: A-

Passed up edge rushers to bolster a strength with WR Emeka Egbuka (19). CB Benjamin Morrison (30) was a first-round projection. CB Jacob Parrish (84) and edge rushers David Walker (121) and Elijah Roberts (157) have high upside. WR Tez Johnson (235) adds depth in an excellent receiver room.

TENNESSEE TITANS: B

Needed time to be sure they wanted Cam Ward No. 1 overall after exploring options. If he doesn’t pan out, it sets the organization back. Edge Oluwafemi Oladejo (52) and S Kevin Winston Jr. (82) immediately boost the defense. WR Elic Ayomanor (136) and Chimere Dike (103) give Ward more options. RB Kalel Mullings (188) is among a strong Day 3 class.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS: B+

OT Josh Conerly Jr. (29) upgrades the Jayden Daniels’ protection. CB Trey Amos (61) could be an immediate starter. WR Jaylin Lane (128) and LB Kain Medrano (205) are high value picks. RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (245) has sleep potential.
