My problem with PFF is not so much that they don't know what everyone's exact assignment is on a play (although that is part of it). My main problem is that the people doing the grading are too subjective. two guys both do their job on a play but the guy the grader likes will get a "1" while the other guy gets a zero.
Also PFF graders are amateurs. If it was all graded by NFL coaches I'd have a little more faith in their grades. For example PFF said Josh Jones was both the best run blocking and the best pass blocking O-lineman in the draft. Based on this a lot of people were wanting us to take him at #33, but scouts for all 32 NFL teams disagreed with PFF and he lasted until the third round. In these cases I trust the NFL scouts a lot more than PFF graders.
