Hey, let’s overanalyze the 2016 NFL Draft!

Winners, losers and more.

It’s over! We made it! The 2016 NFL Draft is in the books, so let’s start analyzing it.

UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT SIGNINGS -- Keep track of the eighth round.

COMPLETE DRAFT GRADES AND RESULTS -- How did your team do?

BEST AND WORST PICKS: The best and worst draft picks for each team. Reaches? Steals? SB Nation’s NFL Draft guru Dan Kadar looks at each team’s draft class.

WHAT ARE THE PATRIOTS DOING? Why did the Patriots make a flurry of weird draft trades? This may have gotten a little bit lost in all the hoopla around teams actually making selections, but the Patriots are doing some interesting things with their NFL Draft capital this year.

MR. IRRELEVANT: The Titans traded for Mr. Irrelevant and it threw off the end of the NFL Draft. Wrong jersey, NFL. But it’s an understandable mistake.

GERMAN RECEIVER: One of the NFL Draft’s best athletes is a German who just learned about football on YouTube. The Vikings selected wide receiver Moritz Boehringer, one of the best stories of the entire draft.

SORRY, JERRY: Jerry Jones lost sleep over missing out on Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch. This is why John Elway traded up to get his first-round target.

SAM BRADFORD WHO? Carson Wentz is not familiar with this person you call Sam Bradford. Hmm.

VERNON ADAMS GETS A SHOT: Vernon Adams to get tryout at Seahawks rookie minicamp. The Oregon QB and one of the most talked about UDFAs gets a shot with the Seahawks, but it is only a tryout for now.

PATRIOTS SOUTH: Titans draft modeled after the Patriots. It looks like a great plan in May, but will it work on the field?

ABOUT THAT KICKER: The Buccaneers traded into the 2nd round of the NFL Draft to take a kicker. What? Was the Buccaneers decision to grab a kicker in the second round a smart choice? Or was it as stupid as common sense seems to dictate. I don’t think we’ve talked about this one enough.

THE SEC WINS AGAIN: 2016 NFL Draft results by college: Ohio State dominates, but which conference wins? Yeah, it’s the SEC again.

SCOOBY WINS: Scooby Wright cried then jumped into a pool after getting drafted by the Browns. These NFL Draft moments are priceless.

WRONG GUY: Connor Cook, firefighter paramedic, thrilled to be drafted by the Raiders instead of the MSU QB. It’s always good to double check when you’re tagging someone on social media.
