YoloinOhio Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 No grades. No mention of Bills. But, critical of pats. Wait, what? The explanation of what teams mean when they refer to BPA is worth reading. So scheme and team specific. @theMMQB: Nope, no draft gradesjust some clear-headed analysis from our @Andy_Benoit http://t.co/vKaEUTpZnrhttp://t.co/x4Dy2DYIu8 Edited by YoloinOhio, Today, 12:21 AM.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 the Washington Post gave them a C which was the lowest of the AFCE and the NYETS an A
Nanker Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 the Washington Post gave them a C which was the lowest of the AFCE and the NYETS an A Well, the JESTS did get arguably the best athlete in The Draft. We won Free Agency. Who cares who won this weak-azz Draft. There were 5 first round talents this year. Whaley chose the right battle to win. IMO
YoloinOhio Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 the Washington Post gave them a C which was the lowest of the AFCE and the NYETS an Awhat did they base the grades on?
YoloinOhio Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) our draft picks And what about them - link?Not a fan of grading drafts now but I get that the media has to produce something. You can get excited about a player, but to grade them without having scouted them, seen them play a snap in the pros or understanding a teams roster situation now and going fwd is pretty meaningless Edited May 3, 2015 by YoloinOhio

Rubes Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 "13. I think the Patriots’ draft will be blindly praised because that’s the standard protocol for analyzing any Patriots draft. I also think it’s hard to understand how the Patriots could go defense with all four of their Thursday/Friday selections and yet manage to avoid addressing their glaring need at cornerback." I like this guy already.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Curious take on Manti Te'o. While my prediction of him not making the NFL proved incorrect, it does appear that the Chargers think he is a dud. Considering the hype he got pre-draft, he's not playing anywhere near his expectation.

Production hasnt equaled where he was drafted yet. They traded up for him and took him ahead of Kiko fwiw. Edited May 3, 2015 by YoloinOhio
eball Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 http://mmqb.si.com/2015/05/03/2015-nfl-post-draft-analysis/ Best post-draft analysis I've ever read. Just insights and observations and no grades (which are ludicrous). Don't even care the Bills weren't mentioned.

ExWNYer Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 my thoughts too - someone finally "gets it" and is willing to go against the lazy grain of pulling draft grades out of their you-know-what This is pretty much Mike Mayock's mindset, as well. He gets visibly pissed when Rich Eisen and the others press him for a draft grade because they "have to ask". He thinks that draft grades are the dumbest thing ever...and he's right. The unwashed masses of the instant gratification world in which we live demand their favorite team's grades in order to make sense of players they've never even heard of before the draft. It's 'Football For Dummies' aimed at the casual fan.
Reed83HOF Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Ryan retweeted Jon Alhart @JonAlhart 21m21 minutes ago The #Bills could have the worst draft, but to give a grade now is ridic. For reference, check out Kiper 2009 gems.
