The 2019 NFL Draft has one of the deeper classes in some time. Stay right here as we update the tracker continuously with grades and analysis.

We made it. We finally, finally made it. Welcome to the 2019 NFL Draft.

As the first round plays out on Thursday night, we will have a tracker rolling with analysis and a grade for every selection. It stands to reason that some teams will walk away feeling very good about their hauls over the next three days, while some will bemoan their fate. We’re here to figure out who is who.

Let the fun begin.
