Grade the 2016 draft

[Patler]

Overall - A

It has nothing to do with my opinions on the players or comparisons to other players who might've been available at the time the picks were made. My grade is based solely on the following:

Each pick addressed a need or concern about the existing roster and the performances during 2015.

Each pick acquired a player that seemed well-regarded at that point in the draft.

There wee no unreasonable longshots. There were no luxury pics for a position without a need. There were no duplications, multiple picks addressing a single roster issue.

For those reasons, this draft is an "A".
