I have seen experts all over the board both individually for players and the entire 6 rounds? If you did into those who provide both, poor draft grades normally come down to them giving Stewart a "C" grade. Ths ranking it higher are higher on Stewart.
I gave my detailed opinion a little bit ago. I don't give out actual grades as I think it is to premature, but if you read my thoughts, you can come to your own conclusion. It was not the way I wanted it to unfold, other then JB and Chase 1st round picks, rarely does the team pick my guy and they did not once again in 2025.
I like Goodberry. He does a player rankings working with several other people. I like him because it's transparent as to how they come up with they're rankings and it can stick close and vary significantly from the consensus rankings. For instance of they're top 100 players 70 of them were picked in the top 100 of the draft. That shows they hit at a decent margin as to what the actual NFL views draft prospects. The Bengals didn't draft a single player from they're top 100 list. Now to be fair they take athletic testing and age seriously so that hurt Knight on age and Fairchild for not testing but these are all metrics that need to be used as you are essentially gambling on hitting on a prospect.
Interestingly enough they had Stewart as they're 180th prospect. Considering he tested well (except not doing agility testing) and he's only 21 years old. That should speak to just how bad his tape, production and other game metrics were.
