Immediate, kneejerk draft grades tend to come with a bit of derision and mockery, and I honestly can’t blame those who respond in that manner. Everybody has the players that they like in a draft they’re convinced are going to be great, or are going to fit like a glove with a certain team. They also know who is going to be terrible or a bad fit. And every year these people are extremely wrong.
That’s one of the reasons I tend to avoid the sort of immediate draft grades, but I certainly think it’s fair to evaluate a rookie class after their first season, at least as a sort of benchmark.
