Our linebackers were panned. With those grades they will need another year before coming out. Secondary better than I thought. WR graded worse than I thought.
 
LMFAO at this. Richards, Joe Jackson, Shaq, Pinckney and Michael Jackson all don't have "NFL-caliber" ratings. OK.

I’ve never heard of Jonathan Giles. Why is this random dude graded higher than AR82?

It’s hard for me to take this seriously.
 
This pff shît is a joke. I believe they had mike smith graded higher than shaq and mike last year.

I believe he was a transfer from Tech were he had over 1000 yards, over 60 catches and 12 TD as a sophmore.

Like some Miami posters have said, this boggles me. I know White and Shaq are AA on different lists and seem to be rated low. I don't know what they use to rank people, but I wouldn't rank Greedy 7.2 points higher than White. They seem to have some pretty tough standards for LB ratings.

These are NFL grades.

AR82 is an absolute beast, but after last season’s injuries, does he deserve a higher grade? Would your rationale change if you were a professional scout and your employer was considering investing millions of $$$ in his first contract?
 
Yeah when you account for AR not really playing last year that’s a solid rating. And as for Shaq I think even he would agree that he was too heavy last year and it definitely affected his overall playmaking. Joe jack is a freak but wasn’t a starter last year behind Trent and Chad. So that makes sense too.
Navaughn was not all world last year. The good DTs he went against ate him up. Which is normal for a freshman and it justifies the rating. I’m sure mike Jackson’s rating this time last year wasn’t higher than a 50. It’s all on player development.

All in all it just points to this being a pretty good game. I think we will pull away in this game and these numbers aren’t as close as they show. But that’s probably just the kool aid talking.

I am glad they put this out. Some of our UM players need to see this. Our fans are up in arms because some kids grades are low but this is the reality! Maybe if guys like McIntosh and Norton had heeded their draft grades (which were probably in the high 70s) and stayed in school they wouldn't be fighting for a NFL roster spot right now and on the verge of being cut.

I would rather grades like this give the player a true standing of where they are at in the eyes of the NFL. Instead of just reading message boards and press clippings about how great they are from people who have no clue.
