Can we talk about the greatness of Minnesota's 2015 draft, even without solid production of its first pick?

Geesh

Because PFF is largely retarded

Not sure how much I am buying into this grading. Where Cooper stands makes me question it big time.
I will catch heat for this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. PFF fricking hates Alabama. Let the "Bama sucks in the NFL" comments fly!

College PFF seems to go out of their way to NOT talk about Alabama players.

He was dropping catchable passes like crazy, which seems to be a large detriment in PFF grades.

Minnesota was impressive. Same with Seattle, but Seattle didn't even have a 1st round pick.

#1 RB (UDFA)
#1 WR (3rd Round)
#2 DE (2nd Round)

That's a problem and the raiders need to correct it.

Slick Rick killed it

Diggs is the truth
Kendricks is a tackling machine
Hunter is a situational stud
Clemmings has struggled as a rookie at RT, but I am not worried long term
MyCole Pruitt has solid upside

I really wanted Marcus Peters over Trae Waynes. Oh well.

I am by no means a Bama fan, but Cooper and Julio helped me when a fantasy football championship this year.

Here's a reason why PFF is pointless at times.

They gave 11 Alabama players grades of +1 or higher(on defense). Ryan Anderson wasn't one of them. Their reasoning, his personal foul late as shite in the game(up 38-0) caused his grade to dip below 1. He had a sack, he had a QB hit and TFL on a TE on the same play, led Alabama with 4 defensive stops, buncha tackles, a QB hurry, played his nuts off in what was a spectacular individual performance....and received a +.6 grade.

What the hell are they grading? Impact on the game? Can't be that. How many points does a personal foul knock off? Do they not weight anything? I'm not exactly sure how they calculate these grades, but it seems that they are WAY too rigid in how they follow their system. Anderson's grade tells you NOTHING about how he played against Michigan State.

Amazing what happens when Washington finally has a real GM. Scotty M doing work. Jamison Crowder and Preston Smith have been great for the Skins.

5'10 at the smallest, and height has very little to do with successful perimeter blocking

Smith even at his age blocks better than some of these 6'2+ 25 year Olds

The success of Stefon Diggs should show five star recruits why they should always choose a top football school. He would have been a first round pick if he had went to a school like Ohio State. Instead he went to a mediocre football school in Maryland, toiled in obscurity for three years and dropped to the late fifth round when he came out last year as a junior. That decision cost him millions of dollars.


You act like NFL scouts just turn on a TV and catch the primetime college football games. He may have toiled in obscurity to the average person, but the decision makers in the NFL were well aware of who he was. Just 3 years ago a guy from Central Michigan was the #1 overall pick.

Justin Hardy was a great blocker in college. (Best in his draft class)
No surprises here

A positive grade on the Titans is a miracle.
