Grading is dumb.
As a professor, I find grading to be the only thing I really hate about my job. It’s not that I don’t see the overall benefit as a measure of some accomplishments (or not), but it’s so subjective that I find the entire exercise debilitating. I much prefer to just critique, offer feedback, give suggestions.
At the same time, grading is the best way to give feedback with some accountability, i.e., certain grades allow for certain opportunities (or not).
So I understand the push-back when it comes to grading the NFL Draft - specifically your team’s Draft.
