PFF Grades on Free Agents

[sherck]

If you hate PFF grades, then feel free to move on.

If you are interested in the PFF assigned grades of impending NFL Free Agents at positions of need (and Colts free agents at those positions), then read on.

A grade of 60.0 is considered "NFL average."

I only listed players 30 years old or younger as of 01 Sep 2017. I cannot imagine that Ballard will be interested in signing older players with his talk of "getting younger."

Doyle has the 4th highest TE grade (76.0) behind Martelius Bennett (82.7; NE), Jacob Tamme (77.6; ATL) and Anthony Fasano (76.5; TEN). Jack is the only one in the top 8 graded TE free agents younger than 30 years old.

Jonotthan Harrison has a grade of 41.8 on 453 snaps. Hugh Thornton does not have a grade since he did not play any in 2016.
