Kirk: C- (Only became good in his contract year)
Dennard: D- (getting closer to F)
Jackson: F (just going off ability to stay healthy so far...He could easily flip this grade)
Ogbuehi: F- (he was as bad as I've seen from an o-lineman)
Overall: F...and the poor drafting of late, combined with the weak FA periods (Michael Johnson was our best signing in years...ugh) are starting to contribute to the downfall of this team.

Kirkpatrick is really the only one who has enough PT to grade imo. And I'd say B+ at best, C at worst.

Kirkpatrick : C- Barely made it out of D range this season. Still to inconsistent and to many penalties.
Dennard : D Can't stay on the field and when he gets there is below average. Is he being misused ? With this staff I wouldn't doubt it.
Jackson III : Incomplete
Ogbuehi : F I hear the takes time to adjust to NFL, but he's not just whiffing on a few plays here and there. He looks totally lost, overwhelmed, and worst of all won't fight back. Has Major bust written all over him.

D
Our drafting skills completely over rated.

D overall. First round picks should contribute and be an impactful player by their second year at the latest.
P.S. that grade is in due part to injury, and due to bad judgement by the drafters.

Dre B- Good in press coverage, but a very poor tackler until the end of the season (probably shoulder issues)
Quez D - hopefully he improves, but he has a lot to overcome at this point and it may be too late for him
Og F - He was a total embarrassment. I have doubts he'll improve - but I'd love to be wrong
WJIII I - Just have to wait and see
