But there were better Defensive backs or RBs in the first and second round avaiable.

excellent work man.... its an even more daunting task when you include the stats of the player. Damn impressive.... i hope you past your finals.

But there were a lot of C level and below grades.... Do we attribute that to this draft being relative weak or are those grades based on individual team and where they selected?

The grade have less to do which the worse draft class and more, that the manangers didn't took the best option at the drafted position. There were a lot missed opportunities. You got also not an A or B if you draft 2 QBs or a Punter in the first round.

For example:
Erwan Quentin instead of Elewa Ekwensi

Elias Fellows or Nanji Bah instead of Hafiz Attah

Everyone ranks their players differently as to what they are looking for.

For example I personally disagree with your analysis of Jake White, as I was looking for an mlb with high tw (to help with multiplayer tackles) for my first round pick.

Rafael Flores is very, very good but didn't have the tw I was looking for so I rated Jake White higher.

Also Miguel Suarez, looking back I wish I drafted him lol, but at the time he only had ~38 spd so I wasn't sure I wanted to take that risk.

(they were 3rd and 4th on my draft board fwiw)

So thats why I made the decision to put White ahead of them. And given the info I had at the time I'd make the same choice again. But like I said others will rate players differently so not everyone will agree. And differing opinions are a good thing.

I see no reason to rate TW so high for LB. Flores had only 10 less TW, but more strength and Speed.

From the manual:

'Teamwork is also important for Blocking and Tackling in the line or multiplayer tackles.'

So playing 3-4 I figure he'll get tackles close to the line + a good few multiplayer tackles. It's just the way I plan on building my team really.

Thats why I'm rating tw quite high for my lbs

How could I miss the RB?? I scouted them all.
In terms of SF, they are almost equal. The second one has worse TW and is older than my pick.
