Final Thoughts
- I feel like I have rated a lot of guys too highly in this drat but my grades also reflect the needs of the teams so I’m not just grading the quality of the player. I worry that this class has too many unknowns and I have not identified enough busts.
- I worry about Pitts and Chase going so highly, not sure they will be the stars everyone thinks they will be.
- It seems like this draft or at least the prospects that went early were very easily called by most experts. Not too many surprises and I’m concerned that again means I didn’t identify enough busts.
- Really disappointed in my Jaguars this draft. If we could have added Herbert in round 5 and used the 25th overall selection on Barmore this probably would have been an “A” draft.
