PFA

Each prospect has been assigned a final draft grade with the first number being the round in which that prospect is rated in. The second number indicates which part of the round the prospect projects to be taken in. Calvin Johnson for example is my top rated prospect and was assigned a 1.o grade which means his draft value is worthy of the first overall pick in the Draft. A player with a PFA grade is rated as a priority free agent.

Prospects highlighted in red are the ones that I feel have great value and should be taken higher than their rating.
