    Are you sure you weren't hitting the sauce? :hmm:

    I agree with you. I think it's pretty clear he's done. I hope I'm wrong but at this point if here were coming back we'd have heard of it by now.

    So half the league got A's? LOL

    Grade inflation is perversing all of society these days.

    Why not just grade it as "received participation trophy" and note that "we were impressed that Team Whomever used all their draft picks"... A+

    LOL

    I do see a couple of C's, but couldn't find a single D+? Laughable.

    Cowboys and Bears grades are truly fascinating to me. Much lower as far as I am concerned; C- for Dallas and D- for Chicago.

    I think it would be useful for you to point out which teams should be getting D's and F's, and why.
    If you can't find any clear examples, maybe there aren't any.
    Not everything should be graded on a curve.

    It isn't grade inflation if the low bar they have to clear is "pick close to value and what the team needs".
    Probably the only way to get a D or an F is picking a consensus day-3 player in the 1st round.

    (If your point is that these grades aren't very useful because everyone is getting almost the same score, then you are just repeating the title of this forum thread.)

    His progress wasn't eye catching. Yes he got better but he didn't blow anyone anyway. Haven't seen anybody rave about this guy's talent being off the charts. I don't see it factor either. What is special about him?
