Ignore NFL Draft grades

By John Maczko Apr 14, 2026 | 7:38 AM

I always enjoy paying attention to and watching the NFL Draft.  I look forward to it every year.  There is just one thing about it the draft that drives me crazy and that is the draft grades.  The draft barely ends and all these analysts come out with draft grades for where every player was picked, but also they grade the  draft for all 32 teams’ drafts overall. It’s ludicrous.  You don’t know until the season starts how many of these player will be good and in reality it may take years to know what the grade of the players or a teams draft is.  I’m sure the Browns didn’t get the best draft grades last season, yet it was one of the best draft classes the team has had in a long time.  How about talk about who got drafted and what team drafted them and then come back and grade the draft a few years later.  What a waste of time doing draft grades the day the draft ends.  I love the draft, but that part is beyond ridiculous.
