 A study I have wanted to do for many years but never got around to was whether the preseason Yahoo rankings and predictions hold any credibility.  Yahoo gives draft grades to every team, although they gave a shocking amount of D's to half the league with this year's draft.  It seems as though their draft grades are based on whether a team made a lot of "value" picks according to Yahoo's own ADP, which isn't quite an exact science.  I am recording Yahoo's draft grades this year in order to see if the rosters they graded the highest and lowest finish with the best and worst records in the league, so we know if future years if there is any validity to these grades.  Here are the Yahoo draft grades from the 2024 KPAFFL Draft: Team Tyler - A+ Wasted Talent - A+ BluhmGoesTheDynamite - A- Team Sean - B+ Kevin - B- Chopkins - C+ Brett's Nasty Bunch - D+ Football Fetish - D+ Holmes Crew - D+ It's all about the W - D+ Manifest Destiny - D Pfunk - D- It is a...
