The Exclusive PFT Draft Grades
Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2009, 8:31 a.m.

Just as everyone and their grandmother’s gardener did mock drafts before the rookie selection process, the draft grades are now flying like a plane full of Alpha Bits.

Here are our official and exclusive grades. For every NFL franchise.

Drum roll. . . . fart . . . . drum roll.

Incomplete.

There’s no way of knowing who did well and who didn’t until these guys put on the pads and show what they can do between the white lines.

And it’s not a one-season thing. We need to wait three or four years before deciding the winners and losers of the 2009 draft.

By then, of course, we’ll be too worried about the 2012 or 2013 draft to care about whether the 2009 version was a good one or a bad one. (If you don’t believe that, consider our recent item regarding Mel Kiper’s 2005 draft grades.)

That said, we plan to embark today on an assessment of each team’s draft, with the understanding that we won’t know much if anything about the quality of the 2009 draft until we start moving a couple of years into the next decade. We’ll do a write-up for each division, and they’ll start popping up later this morning.
