Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!For the month of April, this was an newsletter that was written by Chris Trapa so and I'm starting to think that maybe we should have let Trapa so stick around for another week because, once again, the draft is our main topic of conversation today.Not only will we be handing out more grades, but we'll also be looking at the worst pick from each team. At some point, we'll stop talking about the 2023 NFL Draft, but today will not be that day.As always, here's your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do . All right, let's get to the rundown.For today's episode of the "Pick Six" Podcast, Tyler Sullivan, Katie Mox and Chris Trapa so decided to hand out draft grades. Yes, I know that Prisco also handed out grades yesterday, but let's be honest, when it comes to draft grades, you can never have enough. As a matter of fact, starting next year, I might starting grading the grades.Do the know what they're doing anymore? Did the have a surprisingly good draft? Did the give up too much to trade up to the third overall pick? The gang answered all those questions and more.Here are four of the draft grades that they handed out on the podcast:Patriots: D."I don't think they had an impactful draft. I don't feel like they've gained much ground, if any, in the now loaded AFC East," Sullivan said. "The pick, it was Grayson Allen Jersey great that he was able to fall to them at No. 17 overall ... but I think this team needed an offensive tackle and they didn't get that. There is nobody to protect ." Sully also noted that he was disappointed that New England didn't use any of its SIX picks in the first four rounds on a receiver.Titans: A."It's really for the top half of their draft," Sullivan said of Tenne see's grade. "They pa sed on the QB at No. 11 and got . ... The only QB on the board at 11 was and you're thinking he's going to be long gone by the time the Titans pick on Day 2, but he infamously falls, they trade up and now they acquire their QB of the future. To me, the value there with Will Levis is through the roof. I also like Jarrell Brantley Jersey in the third round."Texans: C."I feel like this grade is controversial because they did come away with two of the five best prospects in the cla s," Sullivan said. "I'm giving them a "C" because of what they had to give up to go get Will Anderson at No. 3 overall. They gave up a first-round pick in 2024. This is a team that's not going to be competitive in 2023. This is going to be a high pick. They're getting a good player in Will Anderson, but man, that just feels like a real high price to pay for the guy." : C." at 26, I didn't have him graded that high," Trapa so said. "He's a nose tackle and he's not even an elite pa s-rushing nose tackle. I think in today's , in Round 1, you're just not getting the positional value with a nose tackle."If you want the grades for each team, then . You can also . Sometimes in life, you have to do the dirty work and that's exactly what Jordan Dajani did this week. After sifting through every pick that was made in the draft, the CBSSports.com writer created a list of the 32 worst picks (One for each team). This doesn't nece sarily mean that the player is going to be bad, it could mean that a team filled a positional need it didn't need to fill or it simply drafted a player too early.Here is a small sample from Dajani's list: : WR (First round, 21st overall).Patriots: K (Fourth round, 112th overall). : RB (First round, 12th overall). : RB (First round, eighth overall). : K (Third round, 99th overall pick). If you want to see Dajani's full list, which also includes the best pick for each team and the most interesting pick, then . Now that the NFL Draft is behind us, don't be surprised if we see free agency start to ramp back up again over the next few weeks. For one, now that teams have gone through the draft, they know what holes they have left on their roster and they can look to fill those holes with a free agent. Also, as of today, free agent signings no longer count against the compensatory pick formula, which means that if any team loses a free agent going forward, they won't be able to benefit from it by being awarded an extra draft pick.Although free agency has been open for more Royce O'Neale Jersey than six weeks, there are still plenty of talented players out there waiting to be signed and our Bryan DeArdo decided to match those free agents up with the perfect team. Here's a look at a few of the matches that he came up with. to the . From DeArdo: to the Chargers. From DeArdo: to the . From DeArdo: If you want to check out each one of DeArdo's free agent fits, . If you want to see a full list of the best available free agents, . After going 77 straight hours without sleep over the weekend, I a sumed that CBS Sports draft guru Ryan Wilson would spend this entire week sleeping, but that is definitely not the case. Instead of catching up on sleep, Wilson spent the past 24 hours putting together his first 2024 mock draft.One thing you'll notice about the 2024 draft cla s is that the crop of quarterbacks is expected to be much better than they were this year. As a matter of fact, this year's "Tanking for Tua" could be "Crashing for Caleb" as teams battle it out to finish with the worst record so they can land USC quarterback Caleb WIlliams.With that in mind, let's check out the top-10 picks in Wilson's first 2023 mock: 1. (via Texans):QB Caleb Williams (USC)2. Cardinals:WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State)3. :OL Olumuyiwa Fashanu (Penn State)4. :QB Drake Maye (North Carolina)5.Titans:OL Joe Alt (Notre Dame)6. :TE Brock Bowers (Georgia)7. Bears:DE Jared Verse (Florida State8. Falcons:LB Dallas Turner (Alabama)9. :WR Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State)10. Patriots:OL JC Latham (Alabama)If you're like me and you're wondering how the draft order was made, it was determined using , but in reverse order. Also, if you're wondering why the Cardinals have the top two picks, here's the explanation: The top pick actually went to the Texans, but that pick now belongs to the Cardinals, who acquired it when the Texans traded up in the first round on Thursday to get Will Anderson.Anyway, if you want to see how the rest of the first round plays out, and trust me, you do, .One of the most forgotten dates on the NFL calendar is the deadline for fifth-year options. This year, that deadline is today, which means teams have until 4 p.m. ET to decide if they want to pick up the fifth-year option of any player who they drafted in the first round back in 2020. (Only first-rounders are eligible for a fifth-year option; all other drafted players are given a four-year deal.) One of the biggest question marks going into today was Jordan Love. The seemed unsure about whether they wanted to pick up his option, and in the end, they decided to go an unorthodox route with Love. Instead of picking up his option, which would have paid him $20.72 million for 2024, they're . Love is getting $13.5 million guaranteed for 2024, but can make up to $22.5 million if he hits certain incentives.With that in mind, here's a look at the players who had their option picked up, along with what their salary will be in 2024 Andrei Kirilenko Jersey when the fifth-year option kicks in (all ).1.
