Why would Cedric Ogbuehi, the 21st overall pick who only played in 5 games and started 0 get the same grade as say... Marcus Peters? The 18th overall pick who started 16 games and is a rookie Pro Bowl CB?
If people get As for not playing, then this is a meaningless exercise because then every single draft class this year would get an A regardless of performance.
Simple - you don't grade a draft class after one season.
How do you know Fisher isn't a 7 time Pro-Bowler biding his time behind Whitworth?
You just don't know. The only way to objectively grade is to look at the potential of these guys. You can't penalize them because they are sitting behind Pro-Bowlers (Fisher, Ogbuehi, Kroft) or because they are stuck behind guys that are playing at a Pro-Bowl level (Shaw, Dawson)
