NEW YORK JETS
1. Dee Millner  CB Alabama
1.   Sheldon Richardson                   DL Missouri
2.   Geno Smith  QB West Virginia
3.   Brian Winters  OG Kent State
5.   Oday Aboushi  OT Virginia
6.   William Campbell                   OG Michigan
7.   Tommy Bohanon  FB Wake Forest

Best Pick:  Geno Smith
Iffy Picks: Dee Millner & Sheldon Richardson
Could Surprise: Brian Winters

Summary:  Yet another year where the Jets focus on defense first.  While it may be the 
team's identity the fact is their offense is the shits.  They have done nothing to 
really help Sanchez and the offense in recent years, meaning that the cupboard is very 
bare for Geno Smith.  Millner, Richardson, Smith were solid values.  

GRADE:  C

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
2.   Jamie Collins  LB Southern Miss 
2.   Aaron Dobson  WR Marshall
3. Logan Ryan  CB Rutgers
3. Duron Harmon  S Rutgers
4. Josh Boyce  WR TCU
7. Michael Buchanan                    DE Illinois
7. Steve Beauharnais                    LB Rutgers

Best Pick: Jamie Collins
Iffy Pick: Aaron Dobson
Could Surprise: Logan Ryan

Summary:  Belichick has a reputation of being a draft guru.  The reality is that this 
front office did a better job of moving up and down the draft than actually executing 
with their picks in recent years.  Collins over Brown? Dobson over Allen?  

GRADE:  D+

MIAMI DOLPHINS 
1. Dion Jordan  DE Oregon
2. Jamar Taylor  CB Boise State
3. Dallas Thomas  OG Tennessee
3. Will Davis                     CB Utah State
4. Jelani Jenkins  OLB Florida
4. Dion Sims                     TE Michigan State
5. Mike Gillislee  RB Florida
5. Caleb Sturgis  K Florida
7. Don Jones                     S Arkansas State

Best Pick:  Mike Gillislee
Iffy Pick:  Dion Jordan
Could Surprise: Jelani Jenkins

Summary:  Hard to figure out Jeff Ireland's philosophy here.  Traded up 9 spots to get 
Dion Jordan, giving up the 2nd round pick they would have used to get Branden Albert.  
They basically traded Vontae Davis for Jamar Taylor, not necessarily an upgrade.  Kind 
of hard to figure out team's philosophy here but did get good value with picks like 
Jenkins and Gillislee.  How Jordan does or doesn't pan out will be the ultimate measure 
of this draft

GRADE:  C

BUFFALO BILLS
1. EJ Manuel                     QB Florida State
2. Robert Woods  WR USC
2. Kiko Alonzo  LB Oregon
3.  Marquise Goodwin                  WR Texas
4. Duke Williams  S Nevada
5. Jonathan Meeks  DB Clemson
6. Dustin Hopkins  K Florida State
7. Chris Gragg  TE Arkansas

Best Pick:  Robert Woods
Iffy Pick: EJ Manuel
Could Surprise: Kiko Alonzo & Duke Williams

Summary:  It's obviously a new day in Buffalo.  The philosophy seems to center around 
athleticism and upside over sure things and character.  This will very much be  aboom or 
bust draft which could be disasterous or a new beginning for a team that needs it.  
Draft will ultimately be measured by Manuel's success

GRADE: C+
