Daily Blitz - May 2: Grading the NFC East

03-02-blitz-article.jpg


Over the weekend and spilling into the work week, we've looked at the Giants' draft from every angle from front office analysis to what the sports writers are saying.

But what about the rest of the division?

While the Giants played an extra month of football, the other three teams in the NFC East returned to their respective headquarters and planned the offseason. And for all of them, that meant trading up in the first round of the draft in hopes of catching the defending champions.

Along with each team's full draft, below you'll see overall grades from ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., Sports Illustrated's Chris Burke, and Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com.
