Rookie grades:
C+ = 2
C- = 1
D+ = 1
D = 1
Incomplete = 2

Unless there's a curve, I'd say those are some pretty poor grades.

Frankly, I don't understand how he grades. He talks about how well Nagy and Smith played in week 1, yet only gave them a C+.

Maybe he starts every draft pick at "C", then moves them up a notch if they play well and down a notch if they don't. Then by the end of the year they get a final grade. So if Smith and Nagy have another good game Sunday, he'll move them up to B-. If they play poorly, he'll knock them back to a C.

So a series of good games will eventually get them to an A. Meanwhile a series of bad games, players will drop down to an F. So by the end of the year, he has a final grade for all of them.

This is the only thing I can think of why the rankings are what they are.
