Take shelter. The cruel spawn of the Mock Draft — NFL DRAFT GRADES — commenced its assault at dawn.

There’s no escape. Be safe. Hug your loved ones.

And if you’d rather see what NFL scouts and executives think about the players your favorite team drafted, all links from Bob McGinn’s 39th Annual NFL Draft Series are below.

Joking aside, there’s nothing wrong with analyzing a team’s draft. We’ve done it here. But mocks and specific grades have become such a grift. For the love, these draft picks haven’t even reported to rookie minicamp yet. McGinn spent several weeks catching up with personnel men to give you a sense for how the league views these draft prospects. Opinions are all over the place, and that’s exactly what life’s like inside NFL draft meetings.

Of course, teams will be critical.

Their jobs are on the line. One bad pick can get you fired. This is a high-pressure business for everyone.

Also, I want to thank everyone again for your readership. Absolutely blown away by the support.
