If you wanted to give grades for each section.. they would be as follows

Fantastic Four - A+
Cream of the Crop - A
Above Average - B
Average - C
Mystery Flavor, Young and Promising, Rookies - D
Career Backups - F

I feel like this grading and positioning of QBs sits well with the grades they were given.

Dalton gets a C... which sounds just about right.

I think this pretty much nailed it.  Dalton gets a C because of a "down year" last year, but many of the QBs ranked above him had multiple down years.  If Andy does what I believe he will do this year, he moves his grade to a "B" and slots below Stafford and Ryan.
