MEL KIPER JR. NAMES 2 NFL TEAMS WITH 'BEST' 2024 DRAFTS

The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books.

Round 1 began on Thursday night, with USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams going No. 1 overall to the Chicago Bears. Round 7 concluded early on Saturday evening, wrapping up an eventful three days of drafting in Detroit, Michigan.

So, who had the best 2024 NFL Drafts?

According to ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., two teams came away with "A" grades:

• Arizona Cardinals
• Philadelphia Eagles

Kiper Jr. thinks that both teams did a superb job filling their needs during the 2024 NFL Draft.

Of the Cardinals, he said: "All in all, Ossenfort used 12 picks and hit all of the Cardinals' top needs, including throwing four defensive backs at a porous pass D. This is a well-rounded and super-talented class."

On the Eagles, he wrote: "They made some solid signings in free agency to help that unit, but I thought they had to go with a cornerback in Round 1 to add an injection of youth to their secondary, even if it meant trading up. How about one in Round 2, as well? Roseman landed both of my top-ranked corners in Cooper DeJean (40) and Quinyon Mitchell (22), though DeJean has the versatility to play safety too. As I wrote Friday night, the Eagles crushed Day 2, also getting my favorite outside linebacker in the class in Jalyx Hunt (94). All three will help a defense that ranked 30th in points allowed per game (25.2)."
