Let’s be honest, the idea of draft grading is ridiculous. It’s a grade predicated on having a time machine. Sure, we technically have one. But it won’t offer any grand insights.
Having said that, draft grades work as a smooth template for looking back, and reviewing the process. Was there a theme for each round? If so, was it optimal? Did Dallas get the best value for their pick? Did they miss out on best value?
In preparing for this draft review, I simply went back and did more research. This isn’t my full-time job, so it’s hard to do the research I’d prefer.
