No, you evaluate your draft on how the players perform the next 5 to 10 years
The grade of the draft after it happens is still important. Getting a good grade means you took players at a time of good value that checked the most boxes meaning the least amount of risk.
Yes the draft may show better in a few years but to say to wait to grade it is to never really honestly look at the Bengals process. Players are placed where they are because the boxes they check say they have x percentage of being quality players. Things can be proven wrong but then those things tend to correct themselves in the evaluation process. Fairchild for instance can be really good but he didn't test athletically and that's an unknown risk factor.
