Solid B's, couple A-. Only C+ are from Danny Kelly at The Ringer and Pete Prisco at CBS.

Browns receiving the highest grades just is further proof that post draft grades for teams are a bunch of horse shite. No one knows anything

I think it just skews to those with more first round picks. They have the jags last and they had no first round pick

And they spent their 2nd round pick on a shitty tight end

Look how grade inflation has impacted everything, even NFL draft grades. The first two columns on the left, no one has a grade of C or worse. So everyone did above average? All 32 teams? Come on.

The C represents average. Somehow along the way a C came to represent a poor grade.

There is not much more useless than draft grades the week after the draft.

To add with other posts they should include UDFA grades. I think 23% of players are UDFA but don’t quote me on that (unless I’m right).

Lots of quality in UDFA signees.

There were 486 undrafted players on the week 1 rosters last year.

There are 1696 players in the NFL.

28% of NFL players are undrafted. I would imagine that includes most kickers, punters, and long snappers as well as many utility tight ends, gunners, kick returners, etc.

Can you get last year’s grades in a similar graph to compare? I would bet the Saints had a lower grade than they do this year, but would probably be considered the best in the league after 1 year.

Thanks. I was in the right range but below. Thats a crapload of UDFA players!

As big of ratings as draft days are NFL/TV should do a 6 hour show a week after draft solely focused on UDFA and who they signed with.

Could go team by team and discuss what they add and who is likely to make the 53 and practice squad. I think it would be a hit because these are the cinderella stories and players who go all out to make a roster.

I just don't buy the Browns draft being that highly rated. They still have to figure out who their QB is. They're a project, and they're still Cleveland. You either have a clown or a tugger throwing the ball, that's not gonna make those WRs look good.

—not for 30 years. “C” is failing in most kids’ and parents’ minds.
