2013 NFL DRAFT GRADES

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:15:49 +0100

Here are the NFL Draft grades for the 2013 NFL Draft. I make my grades a different way than most draft sites. I first try to look at a pick for its quality, value, cost (trade to get it,etc.), potential, and need. I then take each and every pick and I create a team grade. The team grade is not an average of the individual grades, but rather a separate grade based on different things.

If your team took the BPA and scored on every pick, but your team didn't address any of your needs, I cannot give your team a great grade. If you were a quarterback away from the playoffs and you skipped a quarterback for a running back, then your team grade will hurt because the team as a whole didn't fix the biggest issues. At the same time, if your team reaches on every pick, but addresses their needs, then I don't think they deserve a bad grade because the team likely will be walking away with newer, better ways to win.

BEST OF ALL- I have merged the draft grades together from the last three drafts, so you can see how I graded picks a few years ago. This gives you a chance to see how right (or completely wrong) I am with my grades.

2011 NFL DRAFT GRADES

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:02:24 +0100

Here are the NFL DRAFT GRADES FOR THE 2011 NFL DRAFT. I try to make my grades a different way than most draft sites do. I first try to look at a pick for its quality, value, cost (trade to get it,etc.), potential, and need. I then take each and every pick and I create a team grade. The team grade is not an average of the individual grades, but rather a separate grade based on different things.

If your team took the BPA and scored on every pick, but your team didn't address your two biggest needs, I cannot give your team a great grade. If you were a quarterback away from the playoffs and you skipped a quarterback for a running back, then your team grade will hurt because the team as a whole didn't fix the biggest issues.

At the same time, if your team reaches on every pick, but addresses their needs, then I don't think they deserve a bad grade because the team likely will be walking away with newer, better ways to win. I understand that the Lions, Giants, or a number of other groups of fans might not agree, but upgrading things that actually upgrade the team significantly shouldn't give a team a great grade.
