So how much stock do you put into these ratings?

Barkley, Nelson, Edmunds, Chubb and Darnold are the only ones rated between 7-7.5

Ridley, Roquan Smith, Vea, Fitzpatrick, and Payne are the next at 6.5-6.9

21 players from 6-6.4

9.00-10 Once-in-lifetime player
8.00-9.00 Perennial All-Pro
7.50-7.99 Future All-Pro
7.00-7.49 Pro Bowl to All-Pro Ability
6.50-6.99 Good NFL Starter with Pro Bowl Potential
6.00-6.49

Chance to become good NFL starter

Depends on how you look at it.

I'm sure they know that more then 10 players will end up making the pro bowl but that isn't the point of the grades for the entire class, its the chance for each player to achieve a certain level..  Use Sutton for example, what is more likely to happen?  He becomes a quality starter or a quality starter that makes a pro bowl?  If you had to bet your paycheck on it you would probably say quality starter, but if you have 10 players like that you know some will overachieve the grades.  I would also think that once you get past 30 players or so the odds go below 50% of the player becoming a quality starter.

Here again you aren't trying to predict the number of all pros or quality starters in a draft.  You are predicting what is most likely going to happen to each player on their own. 

Some players will beat the odds so the overall numbers will be higher then the original projection but when you view each player on their own, before the fact, I can see the point of the rankings.

Either way I tend to  look at the grades, just as not projections of what they can become, but also a way to organize the players into tiers.  I think understating the tiers in a draft helps you navigate it more efficiently.

They had Kamera at 5.9 last year.  Ross 6.1.  OJ Howard 6.5.  Anyway, its just a rating by them.  Doesn't mean a lot.

Seriously?

 

there are several posters here who think Nick Chubb is a first rounder.  They've been posting for months, despite not one single mock draft or player ranking having him not even close to 1st round material.

 

I don't get it, but huddle is gonna huddle.

Who knows, there might be only one RB and on WR taken in the first this year.  Will be quite unusual

I think we could get Chubb in the 3rd

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
