Why the low draft grades?

Seeing pretty much grades of “C” across the board on all the sites.

Main criticism is we gave up too much- but haven’t seen any real criticism of the actual picks.

Considering we got 3 key pieces - it feels like a huge success.

1) We now have 2 WRs with vertical speed to stretch the field (Olave, Harris) and will free up Thomas in the slant game. Winston will have a much easier time with this.

2) 2 mean mauling tackles with Ram and Pennington, protecting Winston

3) A solid S replacement after losing Marcus Williams.

Love the picks so far. I clearly remember prior drafts where we cut half our picks or more anyways…so I say 3 potential starters is a win
Just like with how we work the cap, we do things in a non-traditional way. It runs contrary to common belief, so people judge us through that prism.

And Yet we still churn out good to great rosters every single season.

It’s why I stopped caring about grades and media criticism a long time ago. They just don’t get how we work and ignore the consistent on-field success that results from it.
