Grading the Draft: 2019 Version

A key feature of any and all immediate post-draft analysis (to include this site) will be to issue a “grade” on the player drafted by a team. By immediate, that will mean an instant grade, within minutes of the pick, with a follow-up overall grade after Mr. Irrelevant is taken Saturday. This offers some immediate validation and a sense of what a team can expect with these players.

Yet, immediate evaluation is not the end-all/be-all for draft “grades”. It is seen as a rule of thumb that a draft class needs about 3 years to determine if it was effective or not.
