if Ogbhuei played on another team he would have probably started some games.    

There is only so many reps.   You can't have all these guys playing loads of reps and still have a high level of play all over.

Then it is stupid to give them an A just as it would be stupid to give them an F. Either don't grade them at all or just say a middle C because that's literally the only objective answer here.

They're complaining at the stupid logic that not-playing = good grade.

Fact is, outside of Shaw and Kroft, no rookie has played anywhere near enough snaps to get a true judgement of their progress. 

Exactly, a lack of playing shouldn't be equal to great playing.

Would you trade a winning lottery ticket for a lottery ticket that you haven't checked yet? One is clearly superior, even if they both could theoretically win the same amount.

I'm going to give it two grades, the first being an A simply because the players that have played have produced in some manner and some have been quite pleasant. The second grade would be a C seeing as though a few players such as Dawson/Hardison/Smith have either been inactive or played limited snaps. This class has the potential to have all players drafted contribute and some become big stars.

Zero starters in year one, so my immediate grade is incomplete. That's not a bad thing as the Bengals tend to bring guys along more slowly.
