Quick Disclaimer: I hate Draft Grades.
These flimsy ‘grades’ are built far too quickly and rely entirely on the grader’s (my) priors, ultimately boiling down to questions like these:
- Did I like the players Ryan Poles drafted before we entered draft week?
- Do I agree with Poles’ teambuilding philosophy or do I want to hold it against him?
- Do I think Poles ‘over-drafted’ any of the players he selected? Or did he ‘steal’ a few of his players instead?
These questions leave far too much room for subjectivity and ask the grader to make too many judgement calls, often resulting in guesses and good vibes that include some context while leaving out others.
