I'd say compete with the bar at it's lowest. This group could be a top 3 D in the league if they stay healthy!

What do they base grades upon? That is the most bogus concept about the draft. Unless you have a working crystal ball any grades are totally meaningless.

We almost always get bad draft grades but field a top five roster every year. Hmmm.....

I like what Bruce Murray and Mark Dominick do on NFL Radio. They look back four years prior to grade the drafts of the individual teams. They are about to begin looking at the 2018 draft this coming week. A's turn into C's and D's turn into A's depending upon actual results, not fruitless predictions.

I agree that most of these grading systems are bogus. The best I can gather from my very limited knowledge is that it is likely based somewhat on where a guy was projected to be drafted versus the spot drafted at, and how well did you fill your needs or improve your roster. In the Saints case many felt the ultimate cost of gaining the extra first round pick, then moving up to get a WR was a huge cost for a non-QB. Their 2nd round pick, many felt Taylor was a reach and not a real need for the team. Something like that...
