• Packers draft FBS' highest-graded edge defender: Rather than first-round pick Lukas Van Ness, it was Bowling Green product Karl Brooks who earned a 93.0 overall grade in 2022.
• LB Jack Campbell takes the top spot for the Lions: While many chastised Detroit for selecting Campbell so early, his grades at least advocate for the decision.
• Projected backup QBs all graded out well: Clayton Tune, Jake Haener and Max Duggan were all among the highest-graded FBS quarterbacks in 2022.

We're diving into the PFF grades of each team's 2023 NFL Draft class from this past season, headlined by the No. 1 overall pick, a couple of projected backup quarterbacks and some of college football's most productive pass rushers.

Arizona Cardinals: QB Clayton Tune (92.0)
Tune tied with Ohio's Kurtis O'Rourke for the title of highest-graded quarterback in college football in 2022. The new Arizona Cardinal was one of five signal-callers to make 30 or more big-time throws last season.
Atlanta Falcons: RB Bijan Robinson (95.3)
Surprise, surprise. A generational talent, Robinson trailed only Michigan's Blake Corum in PFF grade among running backs last season. His 104 forced missed tackles topped the charts.
Baltimore Ravens: OG Andrew Vorhees (81.9)
It will be a redshirt year for Vorhees in 2023, but his 2022 numbers indicate that he'll be a force once he returns from a torn ACL. He was the ninth-highest-graded Power Five guard in 2022 and the third-highest-graded guard in this draft class.
Buffalo Bills: TE Dalton Kincaid (90.2)
Kincaid's 90.0-plus mark in 2022 ranked second to only Notre Dame's Michael Mayer — a second-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders. The new Buffalo Bill also ranked second in yards per route run (2.42), trailing only Mayer once more.
Carolina Panthers: QB Bryce Young (91.5)
Young, the No. 1 overall pick, recorded his second 90.0-plus overall grade in 2022 in his second year as a starter. His 59 big-time throws over that two-season span ranked first in the FBS.
