Yahoo Sports wallows in regret

For those who put stock in early draft grades, here's a hilarious primer by Eric Edholm on why you shouldn't.

Looking back at our 2016 draft grades makes us want to gouge our eyes out

McShay and Kiper hate our draft... 

 

Were going to suck for years!!!!

Seems like more often than not, "winning" the draft and/or free agency just doesn't end up tranlating on the field.

Yeah. that's why I don't take evaluations written in March and April too seriously. I've seen way too many of those early analyses turn to sh-t later on.

When draft and free agency kudos come in, enjoy them, smile about them, but don't get your hopes up because of them. You often wind up setting yourself up for disappointment.

And on the flipside, if analysts hate every move you've made with a passion, don't let that discourage you. They're capable of being very wrong in both directions.

That was a great read!

People love them some grades. No matter how inconclusive the findings may be.

So what he is saying is that immediate pre draft grades are crapshoots?  I agree.  lol

I appreciate that they were willing to poke fun at themselves in the process. It made for an entertaining read.

No different than ranking the NFL teams post draft ranking. Most of these people are pulling feathers out of their crack!!

Hopefully we go through the season with no to few injuries and we will be just fine. KEEP POUNDING!!

Um we're still looking. 

Lmao, that was hilarious. 

[The Natural]

Ugh, don't want to be reminded of that draft class. Yikes.

[Raskle]

Can't argue with anything they said about us. That draft turned out to be absolute garbage, with only one redeeming player, and one player who is still waiting to show us something. Yikes is right.

[Fright]

Man that draft sucked ass. fug Dave Gman

[frash.exe]

yea that 2016 lot of draft picks wasn’t very cash money
