PFF tracks success on the field. They do very little regarding projection.
For example, they labeled Paul Dawson an absolute stud can't miss LB prospect and that his lack of physical tools didn't matter, since he was all production.
We draft him and, immediately, it becomes obvious that not only does he not have the physical tools to start in the NFL, he doesn't even have the physical tools to cover kick offs in the NFL!
You start getting in trouble when you base your draft grades 100% on physical projections (Barkevious Mingo is an example of why this scouting technique does not work), but it has to be part of the evaluation.
and it's a part of the evaluation that PFF basically ignores, which is why I don't really take their draft grading skills seriously very often.
