Prmarily, i don't like his grades because they ignore draft picks that were used to acquire veteran players. You can't knock a team for not having picks. You need to consider what those picks were used to acquire, whether its a college player, professional player, head coach, ham sandwich, or whatever.
well with QBs even if a team has him ranked high, doesn't mean that they'll take him.. it's one of the few positions that that remains true with

surely he was ranked above several of the players taken in the 1st, just not every team is looking to use it on a QB
