Do you believe that Pro Football Focus is any good at grading players?

Yep. I think they make some dumbass mistakes, like grading lesser QBs ahead of Mahomes in a single game, a game that the Chiefs won by 10+, etc.

However, I also know that all 32 NFL teams pay for their services. Fans think their rankings are off because we think we know what a good football player, a bad football player, and a great football player look like, and when their rankings don't match our eyes, or even the stats, we assume they are idiots.

What we don't know, and probably never will, is what criteria the NFL teams have given, per team and as a league, to PFF as far as skills, traits, tendencies, etc. that they find desirable or not, and how much of that criteria goes into the player scores that the general public can see.

We have all probably had the Chiefs cut players we thought were better than others, or kept players we thought were trash, like keeping Ben Niemann on the team over almost anyone, and that just illustrates that maybe we don't always know exactly what the Chiefs value, or maybe we know what they value and we just don't agree with them.

In conclusion, it's all subjective, and PFF should feel lucky Veach decided to become an NFL GM.
