With the NFL draft in the books, it's time to break down each team's selections and offer grades.While these grades are all about measuring value selections and team needs, drafts cannot be truly graded until several years after the selections are made and the players have the chance to prove themselves.So think of these grades as reflections on how the teams played the board and addressed needs and not a prediction on how these players will pan out.Additionally, we'll provide the entire draft board and take a look at some of the top Day 3 selections.Full Draft Selections Late-Round StealsLet's start in Washington, where running backSamaje Perine was a fourth-round selection and could easily win the starting job over Robert Kelley next season.Perine was dynamic at Oklahoma, managing to rush for over 1,000 yards in every season there despite sharing the starting job with Joe Mixon. And he's a player the team apparentlywas high on, per Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan:Brad Evans of Yahoo Sports likened him to a running back who excelled in his rookie season:Another running back to watch is Indianapolis Colts fourth-round selectionMarlon Mack, who accumulated4,107 all-purpose yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons at South Florida."He's my sleeper," a college running backs coach told Bucky Brooks of NFL.com in March. "He definitely has the talent to be a big-time guy."And Brooks called Mack "a productive runner with a game that's eerily similar to [Jordan Howard's]."Yes, the top rookie rusher could easily be a player like Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey or Dalvin Cook. Just don't be surprised if it turns out to be Perine or Mack.Oh, and don't sleep on the Philadelphia Eagles'Donnel Pumphrey, either. He's a potential Darren Sproles clone who may not make a huge impact in 2017 but could become a major producer down the line as Sproles' replacement.The Cincinnati Bengals potentially got a steal in the fourth round, meanwhile, adding defensive end Carl Lawson. He's coming off a season that saw him register13.0 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, and he appeared to have the talent to go far earlier in the draft.Writer Connor Rogers was shocked by his slide down the board:Continuing the theme of fourth-round value, the Los Angeles Rams got a good pick at that stage in wideout Josh Reynolds. As Chris Burke of SI.com wrote: "Defensive backs that faced him at the Senior Bowl this year consistently named Reynolds as their toughest matchup."If nothing else, Reynolds (6'3") should give quarterback Jared Goff a nice red-zone threat in 2017. But he has all the tools to develop into one of the best receivers from this draft class.
