There seemed to be an abundance of A grades. Either this was a strong class or almost every team drafted their asses off this year. Or its too damn early to grade this year's draft.

I tend to believe that it was just that strong of a draft class, BPA and need coincided for many teams nicely and some previously bad/mediocre teams will improve if they coach these kids up right. Still, it's way too early to do anything other than guess at how it all turns out.' jmo.

It’s not to too early. These grades are based on two things:

1. Did teams meet needs
2. Did teams draft players that are talented and successful in college.

You could call them post draft grades.

Too many A,A-, B+, B grades.

But i get it. Can't really grade drafts this early but fans like myself want grades regardless.

This draft had like twice the players due to many coming back as a result of COVID, so the value was really there at a lot of positions of need for most teams.

We'll see how it turns out, but on paper a lot of teams did really well

Greg Robinson filled a need and was an amazing college player... Too early.
He was far from an amazing college player. He was a big physical freak that had no idea how to pass block and played in a high school wing T offense.

What don’t you understand about ‘Post Draft Grades’ ? It’s a simple concept that’s done every year. It’s like a preliminary evaluation. Nobody is putting these players in the hall of fame.
 
For everyone claiming it’s too soon to grade this draft, then none of you should have an opinion on the Rams draft. Nobody should be able to say that they liked Seattles draft or they liked the Ravens draft. Because if you do then you are evaluating the draft.

Los Angeles Rams

(Expletive) them picks. They traded a future one to Cleveland to reacquire Troy Hill, who'd distinguished himself in the slot for the Rams before getting paid by the Browns last year. Wisconsin G Logan Bruss arrived courtesy a compensatory Round 3 slot and could take over the job vacated when Austin Corbett signed with Carolina. But the Rams didn't have their first-, second- or organic third-round pick because they wanted QB Matthew Stafford and since departed OLB Von Miller instead. We'd say winning their first Super Bowl while based in Los Angeles with those guys – and Stafford has since been extended – was worth the price. Grade: A

Yep, winning a Super Bowl is the goal. The Rams first three picks helped achieve that goal more than the majority of the rest of the teams first three picks will.
 
Maybe we should just be grading the 2019 draft in this thread...

Think it's a solid B... B+ if you add the draft capital we spent on Ramsey to it.

Akers
Jefferson
Fuller

All plus players with Akers looking like a star before the injury.

Anchrum
Lewis

Valuable backups

Hopkins
Burgess

JAGS

(I'm still saying Hopkins is a JAG till I see more from him. He stepped onto the biggest stage and didn't crap the bed but I think we got the ceiling from him that day and disappointing that he hasn't taken the 2nd TE role by now)

Sloman
Johnston
