I don't understand giving a player a tougher grade due to their draft status. Who cares when players are drafted or not drafted?
I want to see results whether they are the #1 overall pick or an undrafted player. Once they are on the roster, they are on the roster regardless of how they got there. If we are discussing contracts, that is a different topic and their results should be considered.
But all rookies on contract #1 make far less after the new CBA in 2011 so they don't have to be a star immediately anymore.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
