THE BROWNS BOARD

NFL.com Player Grades are Posted... Here are Their Top 3 (and ties)

Recommended Posts

Garrett, Myles ----- OLB 6'5" 270 Texas A&M --- 7.6
Fournette, Leonard RB 6'1" 235 - LSU ----------- 7.1
Trubisky, Mitch ---- QB 6'3" 220 - North Carolina 6.8
Thomas, Solomon DE 6'3" 273 - Stanford ------- 6.8
Allen, Jonathan --- DE 6'3" 291 - Alabama ------- 6.8

Let the debate(s) continue...

 

We can, and likely will, argue about this or that grade. Personally I'm shocked by:

  • Garrett's gap,
  • that Fournette is #2, and
  • that Mitch is that high and tied with Allen

... but they are what they are.

They really seem to hate the WR class again. No way you go 7 pages deep to find a WR in Zay Jones behind Centers..Boooo! They :wub: that TE class though.Me Too, if it would only last to 5th or 6th round..DeVavla & Telfer can't stay off a injury list

That is a big gap between Garrett and Leonard.

 

 

 

We can't pass on the guy.

 

 

I know we have a group who see only QB, but when you have the ability to draft a player like Garrett, you better not out think things.

 

 

Just take the guy, To look back, who is going to pass on Bruce Smith or Leroy Selmon? Only a simpleton.

Myles Garrett is .02 points higher in grade than Laremy Tunsil was last year.

Mitch has a higher grade than Goff or Wentz did last year. aswell as a higher grade than jameis winston and mariota

Hell according to this site he is the best QB coming out since 2012 and his comparison is Matt Stafford.

Going by that we would be completely foolish not to draft him #1 overall

Is there a way to look at pass years grades?

 

Try googling the year you are interested in plus "draft tracker"...

 

I know 2016 draft tracker turned up the nfl.com link: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

 

There may be more years...

 

Mitch has 5 inch hands.

 

... but 9-inch nails...

Or we take Julius Peppers or Fletcher Cox...

character....

Just change the year in the URL

 

2016 - http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

2015 - http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

4 players who won't make a fucking difference, and one who will. By all means, don't take the right one. Pick a fucking outside pass rusher than you can get in the later rounds.

 

Trubisky. Anything else is a waste of a pick.

 

Plus we always have room on the T-shirt. :lol:

+1 my man. This draft in terms of #1 pick through the eyes of essentially everyone who works this stuff is Garrett followed by everyone else. Garrett can easily be a game changing player, a strong position of need, and is ours for the taking.

 

Don't fuck this up, draft the best player and put him to work.

Great question.... bad example...

 

googling my ass off and cannot find any links to NFL.com's grade methodology. Feel it has to be "a panel".... Probably has to have evaluation categories and criteria... and then involves some averaging process, but can't confirm anything.

 

TR's primary issue was field vision. At BAMA the holes were there a very percentage of the time and masked that. As he learned they were not where they were drawn up to be with us, he lost confidence to the point where he slowed down. Then even if a hole was there, he did not hit it hard enough.

Bottom line: I did not see lack of work ethic; I saw lack of a key attribute.

 

 

Handy tip... here's a "Best Answer" for your troubles... ;)

But you do? NFL talks to people that know the kids as well as the kids themselves. And yourself?

I enjoy reading fan posts filled with endless fapping over Mitch Trubisky as much as the next guy, but I won't take any grading system seriously if it doesn't bother grading...Zach Cunningham, Ju Ju Smith-Schuster, Obi Melifonwu, Cam Sutton, Fabien Moreau, Noah Brown, Pat Mahomes, Ralph Green, and literally dozens of others.

 

Point being, it's early and those grades and rankings will probably change dozens of times in the coming months.

Pretty sure the "grades" do not change once they are set, but it is something to watch.

 

As for your list of ungraded prospects... stay tuned. Last year over 500 prospects were graded, so far this year, 273.

Well, there you go. A total of 273 prospects graded so far out of 500 or more.

 

And you can bet some actual grades will change when more information about character or injury becomes known. Not to mention how much the lesser known and small school types will change things. At first glance most of the players picked to play in the Senior and NFLPA bowls weren't graded yet, including a handful of guys who could go as high as the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

 

That said, even as a Bengal fan I've got to say that's an interesting grade on Trubisky. The Browns taking Garrett 1st overall seems almost written in stone. Change that and everything that follows gets a good hard shaking, including the Bengals pick at #9 and obviously the Browns pick at #12.

 

BTW if I were a Browns fan....(dizzy).....I'd be sweating bullets wondering if teams like Arizona, Buffalo, etc. would trade to get above #12. Carson Palmer's butter-soft vagina has taken a beating and he's talking about retirement again.

yea I was really expecting a higher grade.

​Garrett has a 7.63

​Tunsil has a 7.61

​Williams Leonard has a 7.53

​Clowney has a 7.5 grade

​Not quite the once in a generation talent we have been led to believe.

Oddly enough an edge rusher will have the top grade in 3 out of the 4 years. and they were all about the same grade.

​Comparatively the QB's look like this

​2017
​Mitch 6.8
​Watson 6.3
Peterman 5.9
​Kizer 5.8

2016
Wentz 6.5 pick 1,2
​Goff 6.5 pick 1,1
Lynch 6.1
​Cook 5.8

​2015

Winston 6.7 pick 1,1
​Mariota 6.2 pick 1,2

​2014
Bortles 6.2 pick 1,3
Teddy b. 6.1
​Carr 6.1
Manziel 6.1
