This is less of a complaint about how he grades the Giants draft, more of a complaint about how sports news outlets will throw anybody out there, no matter how poor or contradictory their analysis is.
Farrar gives the Giants a "C" grade because he thinks Flowers was the 7th best(?!) OT in the draft. He had 4th round pick TJ Clemmings as mid first rounder, so this guy really knows his stuff, right?
Meanwhile, he gives the Bengals a "B" for drafting Ogbuehi, despite ranking him below 7 other OTs. So real consistent there.
I know these grades are silly, but this guy is all over the place.

And why are you reading that archaic publication?
Whatever.
This idea that we didn't get "value" with Flowers is such rubbish. Mayock had him mocked #10 to STL, and was a riser.
People splitting hairs here. Who gives a shit if a guy goes #9 or #14.
Does anyone really think Flowers goes lower than #13 or 14?
There are only 32 experts in the NFL.
That's what I mean by inconsistency.
I don't see how that's possible when literally I have come across about 15 mocks and 10 or more of them had Flowers going top ten top 15. The other 5 had Flowers going top 22 or so...
Now all of a sudden it's bad value? I don't get it...
Not that the mocks matter but Flowers was in a lot of top tens pre draft. See for yourself.
