The idea that Jalen is currently considered an NFL QB based on this rating makes me want to reconsider ever looking at the site again. He may get there someday, but right now he would go undrafted.

For the sake of board room, Todd McShay has two players in the top ten off that list, Fitzpatrick at 4 to the Niners and Ridley at 8 to the Bears.

I bet you are wrong. I bet you he'd go in the Top 3-4 rounds.

More meaningless stats, stats do not tell the whole story of a player. But so many love bringing them up like they mean things.

This is exactly why I don't trust the PFF ratings AT ALL. I'm not sure what exactly the issue is with their formulas and ratings but to project that Minkah is only a marginally higher caliber player wrt NFL rating than Wallace is completely and utterly insane.

Quick - someone show these rankings to Minkah so he knows not to waste his time entering the draft this year. He needs to come back to improve his rating!!

I'm assuming part of their grading system is based on what each player accomplished in the number of snaps they played this season ... if that's the case then the system makes sense. It doesn't seem like its a grading system based solely on projected NFL talent and skill. To have a good number of our players grade in the 80s really speaks volumes about the caliber of players we do have on our team though.

What still amazes me is that Damien Harris only played 283 snaps on offense. Talk about being under utilized.

Say what you want about Hurts... Everyone was busy focusing on lot of negative things he did for the offense this year, that nobody mentioned positive things he did for offense... whether it's running or passing the ball. Jalen may look undraftable right now, but if he can string together two strong performances in this year's playoff and continue that into spring camp and fall... Then he has a chance to be drafted within 3rd round... Lot can change in one year.

It all depends on what happens in the CFP, because if he plays too poorly, he may never start again.

The problem for Hurts in the NFL is that his strengths don't translate well to the NFL and his struggles would be accentuated in the NFL.
