Grading the NFL Draft is dumb - except it’s also fun Ryan Edwards and Benjamin Allbright debated the purpose of doing Draft grades on their Monday show, and as a professional grader (of things not the Draft) I agree with both rationales. Grading is dumb. As a professor, I find grading to be the only thing I really hate about my job. It’s not that I don’t see the overall benefit as a measure of some accomplishments (or not), but it’s so subjective that I find the entire exercise debilitating. I much prefer to just critique, offer feedback, give suggestions.
