I look at Buffalo's draft haul and think, terrible. I mean horrible.

Like the hated Ravens haul. I think they did well. Boyle is a guy who I think is underestimated, as well as Z'Darius Smith, Perriman, Maxx Williams, Carl Davis, Waller.

Hate Baltimore but that looks like some good talent. We'll be seeing them in the playoffs again.
 
Agreed.

I hate the Ravens, but unlike the Jets and Colts I respect them. They celebrate criminals, try to cover up crimes and all that, but they always put out a good football team. Always a tough out.
 
Dislike:

Rams: Don't like the idea of taking a RB at 10 in this deep draft, particularly one who is injured. Rest of the draft uninspiring.

Chargers: similar reason to Rams - hate trading up for Melvin Gordon in the 1st. Didn't add that much else because of this. Could have addressed their OL and DL issue in the first and picked up a really good back in the 2nd or 3rd.

Saints: given their plethora of high picks, they didn't come out if it with the impact players I would have expected. I think Peat and Anthony were over drafted and I have never been a fan of PJ Williams

Giants: Not a fan of Erik Flowers. I don't think Landon Collins will be much more than a serviceable starter at safety. For picks 9 and 33 I'd expect more.

Not wild about the Broncos, Cardinals, Panthers, Bills or Colts drafts either. I've particularly highlighted the other four though as normally draft experts give high scores to those who pick early in the rounds. I don't think either the Rams, Saints or Giants made use of their excellent draft capital.

Like:

Texans: Top 3 picks all good. I liked Johnson and McKinney, while Strong was really good value in the 3rd.

Falcons: Not wild about Jalen Collins but Coleman, Hardy and Jarrett are all good value. Beasley was just what they needed in the 1st.

Ravens: I wasn't wild about Perriman but he fits exactly what they do on offense. Williams at tight end is similar. Davis and Smith were good value in the middle rounds. Ravens just stockpile D-lineman. They'll be getting high comp picks in a few years again for those.

Patriots: Maybe I'm biased but I really like our draft. It's not going to grab the headlines as it was all about the trenches but its the sort of draft that solidifies your team for years. Love the Brown, Jackson, Mason picks. Flowers was good value. Got some intriguing upside in Grissom and Derby. And Darryl Roberts was a binky of mine late. It's a B+ for me.
