Dear lord.
Were you grading on a massive curve? This QB class was god awful, yet the long term upside of Pickett was an A? Willis an A? Ridder a B+? Pickett might top out at Kirk Cousins. That’s an A? Willis was benched for Dobbs. A is out the window. Ridder MIGHT be a decent back up a La Mike Glennon. That’s a B+?? Sweet baby Jesus… you don’t know ball.

I appreciate your opinion but my rookie season grades reflect an “awful” rookie quarterback class. The best grade was a B+ for Brock Purdy, who played like a useful QB2 consistently. Meanwhile, Willis was given a D which reflects an un-usable quarterback in fantasy. His (as well as Pickett’s) upside is a mid-to-low end QB1 in dynasty, if things go their way. Their A grade is ultimate upside. And Cousins is a perennial fringe-QB1 in fantasy which I would argue is an A-… not far off from how I graded Pickett.
As for Ridder, calling him a decent backup is a little pre-mature in my opinion. He played four games. He has the potential to be a useful QB2 in dynasty if he develops and gets a full time job. His ultimate upside is similar to Daniel Jones’ 2022 season, but his floor is… wait for it… a decent backup like Mike Glennon.

My point is your scale is wrong. If Willis/Pickett have a long term upside grade of A… what does Trevor Lawrence have? A+? A+++? What would I need to add in a trade to you in our 12 team league to get Lawrence for Willis? How about Dorial Green Beckham? He also has excellent traits.
