Steve O Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 For what it's worth. We get above average, so do Jets and Cheats. I'll follow up in three years with my grade! https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-2019-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams

BuffaloBill Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 The only thing more worthless than mock drafts are draft grades. Nobody knows until a handful of years in. If you get a difference maker plus two starters from any draft you’ve done well. This draft has the markings of exactly that. 3

Boatdrinks Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I think draft grades make more sense than mocks. Of course, these early grades are not indicative of player success or failure. Way too soon for that. Rather, they are grading on whether the team got value for where the selection was made, if the pick made sense / was a fit for team needs and scheme. If you are looking at grades as predicting how good the players will be , that is impossible and a silly notion. 1
starrymessenger Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Not sure why the Jets are above average. Sure they maybe got the best player in the draft, or close to, but I discount that because he's not a great scheme fit for them. L. Williams played as a 3/4 DE next to Wilk and Richardson and it didn't go very well. The two Williams together would make more sense in a 4/3. They really needed an edge rusher. Have to think Allen would have been a better pick for them.

Their algorithm spits out a grade for a guy like Blake Cashman that is really high and that pushes the Jets total number. It's all weird algorithms and analystics. I hate it but it is interesting to look at. Btw I really like Cashman, but it's his athletic numbers that push the grade high. Edited April 28, 2019 by MrEpsYtown

You have a point - as long as he can max out on his potential. He was a monster last year and is maybe a first round talent but he had a lousy combine and dropped for a reason, including bad interviews. Hardly the same prospect as Allen. We will see what Gregg will be able to do with him. And keep him clear of Mr Dounut.

They aren't ranked, so it's hard to say where we fell. 6 teams were graded "excellent" and we were part of a large group of "above average" drafts. They loved our first 2 picks and Vosean Joseph, but hated on Singletary. Time will tell.
