See NFL Draft red carpet fashion fits that deserve straight A grades

Rueben Bain Jr., Bucs

Take a look at that medallion honoring his late grandmother. Touching. The all-light-brown suit is sharp.

Kadyn Proctor, Dolphins

Fantastic jacket with a splashy pocket square. Excellent taste, big guy. It’s as if he knew Miami would draft him, judging by this colorful fit that’s perfect for a night out in South Beach.

Jeremiyah Love, Cardinals

Loving this fit on Love. Smooth player, smooth look. No surprise.

Carnell Tate, Titans

Chill indeed. On a warm evening in Pittsburgh, Tate kept it cool, classy, and casual with this airy, stylish look.

Mansoor Delane

Practically perfect. The watch, the necklaces, and the marvelous muave suit. If football doesn’t work out, Mansoor, Hollywood will be waiting.

Keldric Faulk, Titans

His face and outfit make it look like he’s going to prom. But clearly he’s happy and his simple, classic look works.

Francis Mauigoa, Giants

In the words of Jeff Spicoli in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” where did you get that jacket? That’s fire, bro. Turns out, Mauigoa had the jacket made and wore it to honor his Samoan heritage.

Takeaways

Way to spruce up, guys.

No props for top pick Fernando Mendoza because a) he didn’t walk the red carpet and b) his attire was straightforward and, well, boring.

It was a similar look to what surprise pick, No. 13 overall to the Rams, wore aside his parents.

Maybe playing it safe was the right call. Could it reflect their steady, unflashy play at the sport’s most important position?

Perhaps, but we dig the dudes who flashed some serious style Thursday night.

Bravo. You can take a bow.
