ChatGPT Grades Our Draft
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2026 3:51 pm
I'm doing a lot of work with AI at the moment, so figured this would be fun. Prompts to ChatGPT for this included what type of league we are (Diamond Mind, zips stats, no contracts) and the bolded part below was my specific prompt on the draft. Everything below the bold was ChatGPT's response.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on it...fun exercise on a Friday when I'm waiting on a client's phone call.
can you rate the first 101 picks in the FYPD with each pick rated 1-10 to the hundredths place with the value of that pick in the slot it was taken. grade it hard. also grade the draft for each team 1-10 to the hundredths based on added value to the organization and long-term impact.

Love this. We’re grading this like a cold, ruthless front office — value relative to slot, not name hype.
Scale:
10.00 = massive steal for slot
5.00 = neutral / fair value
<4.00 = reach / poor slot value
I’m grading strictly on:
Ceiling

Scarcity
Age vs class
Long-term dynasty impact

Cardinals maximized early capital well.
Several teams reached in the 35–55 range.
