We hear this a lot around draft time – that it's silly to grade teams on their drafts when nobody has any idea of how these players will perform in the NFL.

But if you're grading drafts based on the information that's available, certainly you can gauge how well each team did collecting players according to their prospective status coming out of college. If this weren't true, then there would be no player rankings; which is something every front office, coaching staff and scouting department in the NFL has.

Grading drafts is fine. You've just got to define what your basing the grade on.
