onejayhawk 3 Posted May 2, 2006 Everywhere there are draft grades from people that postd maocks last week. Is it me, or do they grade teams on how far they differed from the mock? J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdubz 0 Posted May 2, 2006 draft grades two days after the draft are idiotic. how the hell does anyone know how teams drafted until at least after this year is over? i don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,667 Posted May 2, 2006 you grade on how well you think the players will perform. It's not like it's going in the team's permanent record or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like it's going in the team's permanent record or something. ok so if a team drafts different from what mel kiper thought they should, he gives them a bad grade. but mel kiper has been completely wrong tons of times and right tons of times. the point is, grading a team on how they drafted is absolutely pointless until you see some performance on the field.

Grading a draft three years from now is pointless as well. It's just for entertainment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just for entertainment. grading is based on results. it makes more sense to grade someone after you've seen them perform than based on work outs in shorts and a T-shirt (which is why a lot of these guys are getting high "grades" i.e. mario williams, jay cutler).

nobody 2,667 Posted May 3, 2006 Maybe they shouldn't draft anyone until they see how well the players play in the pros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onejayhawk 3 Posted May 3, 2006 Maybe they shouldn't draft anyone until they see how well the players play in the pros. Maybe we could find some supposedly amature organizations to sponser leagues, and all the prospects could play each other. Then the league champions could have a tournament. Nah. That would make sense, not to mention a lot of money. They would never go for it J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeminiV 0 Posted May 3, 2006 yup...next time your kid takes a test in school, maybe the teacher should give him a grade before the test based on the kid's "potential". Why give out grades after the test? You should wait five years to see how the kid applies that knowledge in the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
