Recapping All 32 NFL Draft Classes from 2017

Every year, 32 of the smartest people in the football world sit in tiny cases for three days on end, video cameras watching their every move, every decision they make reported on one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, and each success and failure graded immediately by every professional and amateur viewer worldwide.

In the fishbowl of modern media coverage, we get to see everything that goes on in war rooms across the league.

Which teams nailed their needs in the NFL Draft, and which ones fell flat?
