Grading the 2019 draft

I think Wish was a D- pick. But Greenlaw was in the B range for how late of pick he was to perform as well as he has.

I get what you are saying but that's not how I graded. Too hard to do the entire NFL with that logic.
Greenlaw has to be at least a B-. Deebo and Bosa are A+.

  1. Agreed. I understand the grading system, but in no way is Greenlaw a C.
It also goes to show how hard it is to draft. This is a great draft, but in spite of that, a lot of misses, noncontributors, or underperformers. If you get 3 guys, that's a win.

Agreed if you get 3 starters, regardless if the are A,B;C then you are doing better then the league avg.

I think you guys are getting too hung up between a B and a C. Both are contributing starters. 1 year a player could be a C and the next could be a B. One Greenlaw makes it to the pro bowl I will be glad to make him a B. Until then he is a C. BTW he is one of my fav players.

if you get 1-2 solid contributors its a good draft if you get 3 contributing players its an amazing draft

when you get 2 all pro and 2 starters along with that its a grand slam
How is Bosa and Deebo not A+++++
They're literally the defense and offense

Legit schools the highest grade is A and no they literally aren't. Imagine one man v 11 this isn't a 007 movie or John Wick.

Apparently you misunderstood what I meant. These guys make such a big impact on the team that the opponent focuses on them.

If it makes you feel any better I gave no player A+

Grading all 250+ picks is hard enough. I'm not trying to incorporate + or - into the grading scale. I did a few with Cs and Ds where I thought it was warranted but that's about it.

I like this list. I agree with everything that you said, although like other mentioned I would put Greenlaw in the B range. Especially when you factor in where he was drafted.
Great job though and excellent work here mike!

I just did a 49ers 2020 Draft Retrospective. Would like to hear your thoughts on it!

Nick Bosa: A
Deebo Samuel: A
Jalen Hurd: F
Mitch Wishnowsky: D
Dre Greenlaw: B
Kaden Smith: D- (still in league)
Justin Skule: D- (IR)
Tim Harris: D- (still in league)

Yea gotta give Greenlaw a B. He's an above average starter.
