It’s pretty silly for the football world to grade any pick from a 2015 NFL Draft class that hasn’t played yet. But the picks from the 2014 NFL Draft have gone through a whole season they can be graded on. I haven’t forgotten that final grades for these picks come after year three but a year is enough for a progressive grade.

It is often interesting to see the grades given for players right after they’ve been selected. Sometimes, those grades couldn’t be any further from what you see once they’ve played a season. The cliché, “The NFL is and inexact science.” is the most accurate thing you can say about the draft.

So turn the page so see the grades for 2014 after one year.
