Gives us a good idea of our biggest draft needs.


Notes: Suprised rankins graded that low, probably more of the way they grade than anything. Of course take PFF ratings with a grain of salt.

Wouldn't be suprised to see us go safety end of round 1/round 2.

I'm surprised Robertson is graded so low. DE CB (depending on butler) S and TE needs work according to these grades.

For Peat, I am guessing that they are factoring in his time at LT. He was much better at LG.

We will have a badass OL this year.

They also need to take Banjo out, put Vaccaro back and add Klein.

Vacarro is mostly a nickel/rover type for us anyway. So I understand why they did that.

Robertson struggled in coverage. He also had inconsistent games.

meh, injury bug, we went deep into the udfa pool and scraping players we can find. they did well considering who they were. you can also thank our pass rush for those numbers in part too.

Called this when he was drafted. He doesn't hold up well to the run. In 2015 he got mauled by Auburn's OL. His arms are too short.

Are these grades based heavily on playing time? Seems like it with both Breaux and Rankins being rated so poorly and both missing a lot of time last season.

Edit: Maybe not. armstead missed a lot of time too and is still graded highly.
