Draft grades, much like power rankings, are ultimately meaningless. They’re arbitrarily given at a point way too early to make a good determination as to whether a team had a successful draft or not because not one of these players has yet proven to be an NFL-caliber talent.
Still, it’s hard to resist the siren song of reading whether Mel Kiper Jr. and his hair, Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Focus and all their respective talking heads (and hair) thought your favorite team did a good job (whatever that entails) in a given draft year.
I am no exception and I literally just said draft grades are meaningless.
