[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 446237, member: 6211"] That's my issue with many post draft grades. Too many graders let their personal opinions about prospects creep into their evaluation. For example, a grader that thinks Dontari Poe is just a combine workout wonder might downgrade the Chiefs score. But that defense could use a nose tackle and Poe was projected to go in that range. I might have gone with Cox over Poe but that's just me: I value production in college. Graders should focus on whether teams filled positional needs at approximately the right value. For example, how do the Dolphins avoid grabbing a WR in the first few rounds? (positional) Or why did Seattle use the fifteenth overall pick on Bruce Irvin when they could have moved back at least a half dozen spots and still gotten their guy? (value) As far as whether teams drafted the [I]right[/I] guy, we'll find out in the next 2-4 years... Edit: I like the idea of Football Outsiders developing grade composites from the variety of evaluations. Not a bad way to get a general sense of how the "experts" think these teams came out right after the draft... [/QUOTE]
