2026 NFL draft: Judging overreactions to picks, team classes - ESPN

Another NFL draft is in the books, and you're all overreacting.

Please don't take this the wrong way. The NFL draft is built for overreactions. Your team adds a half-dozen or so college players in a frenzied 48-hour span and all you can think about is which one will be the savior, which one will be the bust and which one you wish they'd picked instead.
