lovelystyle

Compared to the first week of 2023 NFL free agency, this week has been quite mild. All starting quarterback vacancies -- save for that of the , which has been reserved for -- are basically filled until April's draft. Most of the big-name free agents are settling into their new homes. Still, dozens of moves have taken place, and sometimes, the transactions that fly under the radar end up being the most important.Here, we're grading each of the most notable signings and trades to occur during the second week of free agency. Check out grades from Week 1's major acquisitions .Back for the second time in as many years, Dobbs proved capable of a spot start or two during his run late in 2022. On a one-year, $2 milion deal replacing behind , he's a perfectly serviceable (and affordable) backup.Grade: B is a Garrett Richards Jersey  promising bruiser atop Houston's depth chart, but coming off injury, he  Nick Margevicius Jersey could use a running mate. Singletary does everything well without nece sarily doing anything special, making him a high-floor No. 2. On just a one-year, $2.75M deal, he's a bargain considering his starting experience with the .  Grade: A-With Singletary gone, Buffalo was in the market for a bigger back to pair with the shifty , the favorite to take over as RB1. Harris is a prototypical low-risk, high-reward bet coming from the rival . You can't count on him to stay on the field, but when active, he's a well-rounded option who should feature in the red zone.Grade: A-         Pick Six Newsletter   Crafted By The Best NFL Experts   Get the day's big stories + fun stuff you love like mock drafts, picks and power rankings.     I agree to receive the "Pick Six Newsletter" and marketing communications, updates, special offers (including partner offers), and other information from CBS Sports and the Paramount family of companies.  By pre sing sign up, I confirm that I have read and agree to the and acknowledge Paramount's .                 Please check the opt-in box to acknowledge that you would like to subscribe.       Thanks for signing up!   Keep an eye on your inbox.     Sorry!   There was an error proce sing your subscription.      is locked in as the new No. 1 on the franchise tag, and Jones gives Dallas an experienced replacement for the departed . On a cheap one-year deal, he's just fine. But his Chase Headley Jersey  usage and effectivene s have waned in three straight years, most recently with the champion .Grade: B- Jr. is a centerpiece of the Jaguars' offense, and fared relatively well in relief during the 2022 season. Johnson has low mileage even at 27, however, and was explosive in limited doses for the Browns.  Grade: B+Hungry for more juice out wide opposite , Cleveland seized on Moore's  Ian Kinsler Jersey shaky standing with Jets bra s by acquiring the former second-rounder via a pick swap -- with a second going to New York and a third coming back. He's been a bit volatile on and off the field, but on a rookie deal, the speedster represents a legit No. 2 option for Deshaun Watson.Grade: A-Amid continued trade talks for Aaron Rodgers, New York has given its already-stocked WR corps a makeover. But it's arguable they've now overpaid for two competent, if unspectacular, veterans in ($11M per year) and Hardman, who can earn up to $6.5M on a one-year pact. No doubt the ex-Chiefs role player is electric, but he's coming off an injury-riddled year and feels like an unnece sary luxury with Lazard, , and maybe soon . in tow.Grade: C+There was never gonna be an easy way for Carolina to replace , but consider these two options: A.) Moore stays as the WR1, with a middling veteran taking over at QB; or B.) Chark and replace Moore, but a top rookie prospect takes over under center. Chark has yet to replicate his Jaguars peak, but his height and speed are well worth a one-year flyer.  Grade: A-This won't nece sarily convince Randy Jones Jersey  to come bolting back through the door, but on a one-year, $3.25M deal, you can do a lot worse for a No. 3-type wideout. Agholor is more mercurial than you'd like, but he's still got juice downfield.Grade: B-With relocating to the , Indy has replaced some of his speed with McKenzie, who flashed but couldn't stick as a reliable outlet for in Buffalo. He's a fine rotational and special teams piece, but you'd probably prefer to have Campbell's upside, all things considered.Grade: C+Speaking of ex-Colts veterans, Pascal is following Jonathan Gannon from Philadelphia. He's closer to a WR4 than WR3, but if that's his role, he'll thrive as a tone-setter, willingly setting up blocks, Tony Gwynn Jersey  playing special teams and contributing to the locker room.  Grade: BNew York has certainly spent money at receiver; you just wonder how much the Giants will get in return. After adding Parris Campbell and retaining and , Crowder feels a little redundant with also onboard. He's the type of vet who could easily post 400 yards as a safety valve or fail to make the preseason cut.Grade: CThe former Cowboys standout didn't find the blazing market he might've enjoyed without a franchise tag a year ago, and he's certainly a notch or two below the small tier of difference-makers at the spot. But for one year and $9M, this is a solid rental for a proven pa s catcher, aiding whichever rookie QB they add next month.Grade: A-We're lumping them together because they're both on cheap one-year deals to replace the departed (traded to Giants) and , who is stepping away from football after his cancer diagnosis. Their arrival is symbolic of the entire Raiders offseason: perfectly reasonable but mostly unexciting. Hooper and Howard are quality plug-and-play options, but they're  Austin Hedges Jersey not giving you the pop that Waller does when healthy.  Grade: CWith leaving for the and joining the Cardinals, the Eagles needed another body to compete with . Morrow, 27, was durable for Chicago in 2022 and has been a little bit better in each of his last three years.Grade: A-It's been a few years since the ex-Rams starter was an above-average defender, but with 71 starts under his belt, he's a serviceable one-year flyer for ' restocked "D."Grade: BSome of Tenne see's other gambles, such as for Ozzie Smith Jersey  ex-Jaguars pa s rusher , deserve praise. And Murphy-Bunting, 25, at least brings fresh legs to their secondary. But he's mi sed 13 games the last two seasons, and one of the Titans' chief i sues in the defensive backfield has been availability. For a few million more, they could've had a slightly more promising vet like or .  Grade: CAfter losing both C.J. Gardner-Johnson and in the first week of free agency, Philly appears content to have four or five veterans compete for the two open jobs on the back end. Edmunds is the latest addition -- and most intriguing -- of their bunch; he was more solid than splashy in Pittsburgh, b
