With my NFC draft grades, I’m doing the exact same thing that I did with my AFC draft grades. Evaluating how well I think they used the draft picks that they had, rather than evaluating how much I think their draft will benefit their team. The reason I’m specifying the difference is because teams like Minnesota, who only had 5 draft picks would be at a disadvantage to a team like Chicago who had 12 picks, and while those numbers would effect how much a draft class could impact a team, they don’t however help reflect how well the team drafted with what they had to work with.
I used the same formulas and mathematics that I used when finding the results for the AFC Draft Grades. This turned out to be a little more interesting with the NFC side of things because it turned out with having no teams with anything lower than a ‘C’ and actually ended up with the an A+ as well.
Here are the results:
1. Dallas: 374.17 = A+
2. New York Giants: 343.57 = A
3T. Minnesota: 335.00 = A
3T. Arizona: 335.00 = A
5. Tampa Bay: 308.57 = B+
6. Chicago: 306.24 = B+
7. Green Bay: 304.91 = B+
8T. Washington: 302.00 = B
8T. Philadelphia: 302.00 = B
10. San Francisco: 299.17 =B
11. Carolina: 297.22 =B
12. Seattle: 297.14 = B
13. New Orleans: 295.25 = B
14. Detroit: 270.69 = C+
15. Atlanta: 266.49 = C
16. St. Louis: 261.25 = C (Sorry, Bryan)
