Our Favorite and Least Favorite NFL Draft Selections

Author: NBC Sports, Pat Daugherty, Kyle Dvorchak, Denny Carter April 27, 2026 Duration: 1:02:22

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak put a bow on the recently-completed draft by going in depth on their favorite and least-favorite picks, including entire classes. Were the Jags and 49ers’ groups as bad as advertised, and were the Browns surprisingly competent? They then reflect back on Round 1. Was the Ty Simpson pick really that bad, and why is the answer still yes? They go further in depth on Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion and other higher-end picks before laying out other selections they loved on Days 2 and 3.
