Chiefs Offseason Planet Evaluation: The Results Are In!

[Rain Man]

Okay, great work, people. We made our way through all of the players on the roster. Now comes the fun part. I'll update this thread with various analyses as I have time, but for now I'll give you a quick sort of the five key measures.

First up, we have grades. Here are our players sorted by grade. We're classic old-school graders, because the median grade for the year was a 2.0, or a flat C.

[Hammock Parties]

This place was way too hard on Chris Jones.

[Easy 6]

So the median grade was C

No one can claim this is a homer board

[Rain Man]

Perceived trade value.

Integer indicates middle of round (e.g., 6 means they're worth a mid-6th round pick). A score of zero indicates a value of 2 mid-1st round picks, and a score of -1 means that the person shouldn't be traded for any price.

Probably true, we werent factoring in his cast mates enough

He looks superhuman at times, which maybe elevates expectations too high when he has little impactful help

I feel like the younger linebackers got graded high, and the starting defensive linemen got graded too low. But that's just my opinion. The crowd has spoken.

Thanks to Rain Man for putting effort into this. Top notch as always.

I dont see that as being true for Ragland, he immediately improved the run defense... but overall its hard to disagree about that, everything is so symbiotic in this game

[Deberg_1990]

Tyler Bray = Overrated
