The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, and there is plenty to break down. The Arizona Cardinals for example made a couple of controversial decisions, drafting running back Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 overall and then choosing Carson Beck to be their developmental quarterback. The Los Angeles Rams shocked the NFL world by drafting quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall, plus, the Dallas Cowboys made what may go down as the steal of the first round, taking versatile safety Caleb Downs at No. 11.

Let's break down the best, worst and most interesting picks for each NFC team.

Here are the rules of the game: The "best" pick for a team does not necessarily mean the best player. It has to do with the franchise fit and where the player was taken. Same for the "worst" pick. We will be using CBS Sports' draft grades for best and worst picks, which were completed by NFL Draft experts Mike Renner and Josh Edwards. If multiple players were issued the same grade, Jordan Dajani will step in and determine the verdict. Dajani will also choose each team's most interesting pick, but use Renner's and Edwards' breakdown.

Ready? Let's jump into the best, worst and most interesting picks for all teams in the NFC.

Best pick (A): OL Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M (Round 2, pick 34)

"After taking Jeremiyah Love in round 1, the Cardinals come back and give him someone to open up running lanes. Bisontis is also a physical presence in pass protection where he thrives cleaning up pockets whenever he can. Without any options to fill their tackle need, this was the next best option." (Mike Renner)

Worst pick (D): QB Carson Beck, Miami (Round 3, pick 65)

"This feels like a relative slap in the face to Cardinals fans. Your offseason investment at the most valuable position is a 24-year-old with limited tools after you've taken a running back and a guard. Is this guy really going toe to toe with Matthew Stafford or Sam Darnold in that division? It feels like when the Texans drafted Davis Mills 67th in 2021. I'd rather they passed on quarterback entirely and prayed for a better crop of quarterbacks in 2027." (Mike Renner)

Most interesting pick (C+): RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame (Round 1, pick 3)

"Love is a special talent at the running back position and will immediately transform the Cardinals rushing attack. This grade isn't an indictment of the caliber of player the Cardinals got, but the value for a team not built to contend without a quarterback. They'll burn the most productive and cheap years for a player at a position with an already short career length." (Mike Renner)

Best pick (A+): CB Avieon Terrell, Clemson (Round 2, pick 48)

"The Terrell brothers are reunited once again. I say again, but being six years apart they've likely never played on the same team until now. Avieon is the shorter, scrappier version of his brother AJ. He has the same smooth coverage skills with a little more of an edge that comes from being the younger brother." (Mike Renner)

Worst pick (D): LB Kendal Daniels, Oklahoma (Round 4, pick 134)

"Daniels is a player without a position. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will have to be creative in how he is used, but there could be some special teams value here." (Josh Edwards)

Most interesting pick (A-): LB Harold Perkins Jr., LSU (Round 6, pick 215)

"Perkins arrived in Baton Rouge as a freshman and was an immediate contributor. His career was disrupted by injuries and perhaps a tweener skill set, but the athleticism is exciting." (Josh Edwards)

Best pick (A+): DL Lee Hunter, Texas Tech (Round 2, pick 49)

"Hunter was the best playmaker in this defensive tackle class last season. He's a violent shedder one on one and his range in the run game is special for a man his size. While he doesn't eat double teams exceptionally well, the Panthers have Derrick Brown for that." (Mike Renner)

Worst pick (B-): CB Will Lee III, Texas A&M (Round 4, pick 129)

"Lee brings length to the Panthers secondary. Carolina has significantly invested in the defense this offseason and that continues." (Josh Edwards)
