If you’ve been following this site for any length of time, you know that I think the concept of “grading” a draft less than 24 hours after it’s concluded is a fairly ridiculous exercise. There’s absolutely no way to know how these players are going to fare in the National Football League at this point, and it seems useless to trash young players that people might think were a “reach” just because they didn’t align with your rankings or someone else’s rankings.
