Now that the draft is over and our dreams are either dashed or filled with blind hope we can start to process how the choices made over the weekend look all put together. The grades that these teams get are not based on anything other than how they worked the draft ion terms of the value given to the player to where they got them. This doesn’t mean that classes with low grades can’t be good; it simply shows how they fared in terms of…
Predraft, Jordan Reed was my absolute favorite tight end prospect. I thought he had the highest ceiling out of the entire class and his athleticism would play anywhere. The Washington Redskins have turned Jordan Reed from a dynasty stash to a potential fantasy starter immediately.

They already had a first round tight in Jermaine Gresham and Orson Charles. Gresham has not been amazing in his seasons with the Bengals, but certainly performed well enough to continue being used. The selection of Eifert would indicate that the Bengals are ready to…
