It gives a perceived depth of each position for the benefit of those who can't follow every prospect of every team. After all, just reading some summaries of prospects can get tedious/boring, plus some prospects have certain assets... but there's no way to compare them to prospects of similar assets.
But the only thing the gradings are doing is muddying the waters and causing conjecture from readers. I know what they're intended to do, but they're not doing it. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many complaints and so little stock put into them. I think prosepcts should get a specific projection as opposed to a generalized number and letter.
As far as reading three paragraphs being too boring and tedious for you, are you telling me that you'd rather look at a number in order to be informed about a prospect?
I mean really, it takes two minutes to read the player writeups.
