re: So the rumor is that Tulane's Patrick Jenkins is the target DT from the portal

Again, its not a perfect solution (nothing is, even coaches can have a bias themselves) nor is it ever billed to be. But its used by NFL teams, heck they introduce players with their PFF rank compared to others at their position during broadcasts. It's an impartial view of every snap someone plays and when you aggregate the large amount data it's going to be generally "right". This is way more reliable than someone coming on here and going "oh man I saw him in 1 game and he was really good!"

PFF grades used during broadcasts have nothing to do with NFL teams, it does however have something to do with broadcasters though.

I have a problem with any grading system that any average Joe off the street can sign up to be an evaluator and then to do so without knowing the play call or the player's responsibility on any particular play that the evaluator is responsible for grading.

I often look at PFF scores and wonder what game they were watching, because it was not the game I witnessed and I do have coaching experience.
