They generally put out their player grades very early. Way before the combine and workouts and media hype/smokescreens.

I will list the player, grade and actual draft position

2014
Bortles, 6.2 , Round 1 pick 3
Bridgewater 6.1, Round 1 pick 32
Carr 6.1, Round 2, pick 4
Manziel 6.1, Round 1, pick 22
Garoppolo 5.8, Round 2 pick 30
AJ McCarron 5.7, Round 5 pick 24

2015
Winston 6.7, Round 1 pick 1
Marriotta 6.2, Round 1 pick 2
Petty 5.4, Round 4, pick 4
Grayson 5.3, Round 3 pick 11

2016
Wentz 6.5, Round 1 pick 2
Goff 6.5, Round 1 pick 1
Cook 5.8, Round 4, pick 2
Hackenberg 5.5, Round 2 pick 20

2017
Trubisky 6.5
Watson 5.9
Mahomes 5.8
Kizer & Peterman 5.7

Using the prior grading system and actual draft position, it looks like Trubisky would be the only first round QB this year.

It just shows how flawed all these grades can be. Carr is easily the best pro of everyone on the list and he graded on par with Manziel.
