NFL Draft grades aren’t useless, but they are hard to evenly gauge across the internet.
Most of them are labeled like traditional letter grades from school, and that scale is based on a numeric system; a system in which a 75 out of 100 is deemed “Average,” and a 50/100 is “Failing.” Just typing it out makes me question what the first 22 years of my life were actually based on. And when I look at draft picks immediately being labeled as Cs, Ds, and Fs, it just feels more harsh than it should.
That system is very questionable to me, which is why we’re not going to do our Bengals draft grades like that this year.
