Obviously PFF, like anyone else, comes up with some idea of who the best players are. But to get an idea of how their value aligns with NFL teams I looked at their top 15 ranked free agents last year and what they were projected to receive.
Safety Anthony Harris, their #3 rated free agent, was predicted to get a 4 year $56 million contract. Instead he got 1 yr $4 million.
Will Fuller was predicted to get 5 yr $88 million. Instead he got 1 yr at $10.6.
Richard Sherman was predicted to get 2 yr $28 million. Instead he got 1 yr $1.4 million.
Ju Ju Smith Schuster was predicted to get 4 yr $68 million. Instead he got 1 yr $8 million.
And that is just looking at their top 15 prospects. I am sure there are dozens of more examples of how different PFF grades players compared to NFL teams.
