The 2026 NFL Draft has arrived. Months of scouting, planning and -- for some teams -- aggressive trading led to these three days. All 32 franchises will add rookies to their rosters throughout the seven-round event, and every selection is ripe for scrutiny.
Using an internal formula based on our analysts' individual pick grades, we will hand out team-by-team grades to assess how effectively each franchise uses its draft capital. Early rounds carry more weight than later selections, and picks at the top of the board are valued more heavily than those at the back end of each round.
This page tracks how each team is building its class in real time, with team grades updating after every selection.
Individual pick grades are determined by two CBS Sports NFL Draft analysts. Mike Renner handles Rounds 1–3, while Josh Edwards takes over for Rounds 4–7.
Here are our team-by-team grades for the 2026 NFL Draft.
