I don't care what anyone says, I like draft grades. Time of course tells the true tale, but in the short term they're fun and a reflection of how teams did given the information and players available going into the draft:

I love how every sportswriter who does a "Grading the Draft" article begins is by saying, "well, I know these are silly, but here it is". If its premature to give grades, don't give them!!!!

I like them too, I also like mock drafts and Season rankings
All meaningless of course -
Brisco's an idiot if this is a C+ draft while not having a 2nd or 5th round pick. We hit on major needs, and we got better overall talent than their combined rounds would indicate. I'm not sure how that's not worth anything less than a B+/A-.

What grade did Kiper give us?
