Trey Hendrickson is the best defensive closer in the NFL and it is not close.

2025 NFL Draft Grades and Summary📊

Grades are weighted based on value added from fallers, value lost from reaches (non-QBs), and total talent added.

The idea to is aquire talent, not burn picks, and gain value where you can.

Here are the Top 32.

Update🚨Our 2024 Draft Board and giveaway will drop TOMORROW MORNING🚨

Before that, let’s answer the most common question we get: how do we evaluate production?

Sharing two graphics below that we hope help. The board will have an entire sheet detailing that part of our grades.

If you started with the 2023 Draft, your first draft eligible for comp picks would be 2027 based on the performance of 2026.

@BengalsAreOk @David_Potteiger @burrow_time @OHclone @ParkerBlake60 @BMeek23 @TD_Bengals @TracyMcBradey @dockerz77 @Tikinola @That_Brett_Guy @JakeLiscow @ChrisDunhamJr @Drkelp_222 @DraftGuyJared @BlakeJewellNFL Typically they’re only eligible to be ‘redeemed’ in the season when the award is earned (i.e., Wilson’s comp pick should’ve been for the 2023 shadow draft).

The choice is ultimately yours, but the goal is to keep the shadow draft difficult and not allow for a pseudo-FA.

[Ryan Albaum @RyanAlbaum]

@burrow_time Picking 9th each round.

Instead of a Madden sim or drafting alongside my favourite team (Bengals) I use a wheel to randomly assign a team before the season and that team's ultimate draft slot is where I pick.

Allows me to cheer for (against) another team and watch more games!

[Ryan Albaum @RyanAlbaum]

@David_Potteiger @burrow_time @OHclone @ParkerBlake60 @BMeek23 @TD_Bengals @TracyMcBradey @dockerz77 @Tikinola @That_Brett_Guy @JakeLiscow @BengalsAreOk @ChrisDunhamJr @Drkelp_222 @DraftGuyJared @BlakeJewellNFL This is how I go about awarding comp picks.

Not allowing them until Y5 (when the # of picks in each round goes to 1), limiting them to a max of 3 comp picks per draft, and making anything above a 5th difficult to award helps maintain integrity and rewards good drafting!

[Ryan Albaum @RyanAlbaum]

@JoeGoodberry Here's hoping FA lands the team some iDL help!

Would love to see everyone's team going into the offseason and where y'all will be drafting.

Here's my team going into Year 5. I'm be picking 9th at the Bears' slot.
