Meh, I would give more credit to these grades if people actually put some thought behind them...I mean, there are 256 total grades, but only 6 Ds? C'mon...

Also, we're tied for first, not second (:

USA Today is the harshest of all of them...MOST teams got C levels, only 10 teams got As or Bs, 1 D.

Draft grades really are total crapshoots. Basically, they are looking at "did you reach on any 1st or 2nd round picks"...After that, it's did you do anything really stupid like drafting 3 QBs.

I think it's fair that most people got a C or above generally. You can name really only two or three "WTF" draft moves...

Alualu at 10
Tebow at 25
Bills not taking QB/OT until Round 5

Everything else gets the benefit of the doubt until at least a year from now.

Draft grades like this would be like handing out grades the second week of school.

Last years draft is still hard to grade.

The Ravens have been drafting very well under Decosta. The last 2 drafts we got Flacco, Rice, Oher, and a bunch of good prospects that played even better than the post draft grades they got would indicate.

This draft was deep enough to help every team in the NFL improve the roster at a few spots and the good drafting teams by a lot.
