The report card
Star power and cohesion are graded against all 297 qualifying classes, 2021–2023. NFL production and on-field value are graded against just the 107 other 2023 classes — a 2023 signee simply hasn’t had as many draft-eligible years as a 2021 signee, so those two dimensions compare like-for-like instead of penalizing recency. Overall GPA still ranks across all 297.
