2016 rookie grades: Packers, Rams, Jets get limited production Published: Feb 17, 2017 at 02:39 AM Arizona Cardinals Round 1: (No. 29 overall) , DL, 5 games/0 starts.

Notable undrafted FAs: , TE, 11 games/1 start. Brooks: It's hard for any team to earn a pa sing grade when it fails to get a significant contribution from any member of its rookie cla s. e sentially used the year as a redshirt season, barely getting on the field despite his first-round draft status. He was a huge disappointment for a team that desperately needed an interior defender to alleviate some of the pre sure on . was thrust into action before he was ready and struggled mightily on the corner opposite . He made strides near the end of the season, so it is po sible he could become a factor in the secondary in 2017. has shown developmental potential in limited action. GRADE: D Buffalo Bills Round 1: (No. 19 overall) , DE, 10 games/1 start. Round 2: (41) , ILB, 0 games. Round 3: (80) , DT, 15 games/11 starts. Round 4: (139) , QB, 1 game/0 starts. Round 5: (156) , RB, 11 games/0 starts. Round 6: (192) , WR, 0 games; (218) , CB, 15 games/3 starts. Orr: In many ways, the 2016 draft followed the Rex Ryan playbook closely: defense, defense, defense and a raw, athletic quarterback who entertained Ryan in the lead up to the draft (but one the will never spend the time or effort to develop). In the nicest of po sible ways, the could earn a grade of incomplete for their 2016 picks because first-round pick made it fewer than 300 snaps with a lingering shoulder i sue (he finished with two sacks in 10 games), while second-round pick and mi sed the entire season. One can argue the got production out of (2.5 sacks as a third-rounder), but the disruptive factor was low for someone of his size (6-foot-4, 295 pounds). Sixth-round pick was a contributor. However, this was a painfully inefficient draft for a team that could have been a few players away from disrupting the division. GRADE: D Cincinnati Bengals Round 1: (No. 24 overall) III, CB, 0 games. Round 2: (55) , WR, 16 games/2 starts. Round 3: (87) , LB, 16 games/0 starts. Round 4: (122) , NT, 0 games. Round 5: (161) , OG, 0 games. Round 6: (199) , WR, 8 games/4 starts. Round 7: (245) , S, 16 games/0 starts. Notable undrafted FAs: , WR, 16 games/0 starts. Orr: First-round pick had to go under the knife during training camp and, because of a long line of injured players, did not get selected to return off injured reserve. That, I feel, leaves this draft grade as incomplete. The team could very well lose this offseason, giving Jackson a chance to show off his skills. had a good rookie season with 54 catches for 603 yards and a touchdown, but the rest of the cla s fell largely silent. This was a veteran-laden team that was stocked with good players from previous Marvin Lewis drafts, so it's hard to knock him too much when we won't know the full extent of their talent for years to come. GRADE: C- Cleveland Browns Round 1: (No. 15 overall) , WR, 10 games/10 starts. Round 2: (32) , DE, 16 games/16 starts. Round 3: (65) , DE, 14 games/3 starts; (76) Olivier Rodrigue Women Jersey , OT, 7 games/0 starts; (93) , QB, 9 games/8 starts.

Notable undrafted FAs: , LB, 14 games/0 starts; , CB, 14 games/6 starts; , DE, 11 games/0 starts; , S, 15 games/3 starts; , FB, 9 games/3 starts. Orr: The next five years for this franchise will be determined by its ability (or inability) to secure a foundation in 2016 and 2017. After one year of one draft cla s, the results were largely mixed. The focused on intelligence and production in the draft this past year, securing players who could come in with a chip on their shoulder and contribute right away. Some, like first-round pick , second-round pick , third-round pick and fourth-round pick , simply had to, given the lack of talent on the roster when new head coach Hue Jackson arrived. How did they fare? Coleman mi sed six games but finished with 33 catches for 413 yards and three touchdowns, which projects to 53 catches for 660 yards and seven touchdowns over 16 games. This is not bad for a team that started a clearly still-declining Robert Griffin and a rookie in this season. Ogbah led the team in sacks (5.5), Na sib finished tied for third in sacks (2.5) and Kindred, who may have shown up more pro ready than any of his rookie counterparts, added 32 solo tackles and five pa ses defensed. While this is all to news for rookies operating on a threadbare team that provided no help, the did select three other receivers and a wideout/tight end hybrid other than Coleman. And only one, Ricardo Lewis, saw significant snaps. GRADE: C Green Bay Packers Round 1: (No. 27 overall) , DL, 19 games/2 starts. Round 2: (48) , OT, 19 games/2 starts. Round 3: (88) , OLB, 16 games/0 starts. Round 4: (131) , MLB, 16 games/10 starts; (137) , DE, 18 games/0 starts. Round 5: (163) , WR, 13 games/0 starts. Round 6: (200) , OT, 3 games/0 starts. Notable undrafted FAs: , WR, 13 games/3 starts; , S, 19 games/1 start; , S, 19 games/0 starts; , CB, 14 games/0 starts; , FB, 9 games/0 starts. Brooks: The ' rookie cla s failed to make a significant impact on the roster despite the presence of several promising players. played as part of the rotation but failed to deliver many splash plays from his defensive end position. The same can be said for after he only mustered two sacks and a forced fumble in limited action. flashed a little bit as a rotational pa s rusher on the way to notching a pair of sacks near the end of the season. Offensively, showed promise as a key reserve capable of playing tackle or guard in the starting lineup. climbed the ladder from practice squad member to key contributor in the playoffs.GRADE: C+ Houston Texans Round 1: (No. 21 overall) , WR, 16 games/15 starts. Round 2: (50) , OG, 0 games. Round 3: (85) , WR, 10 games/6 starts. Round 4: (119) , RB, 14 games/0 starts. Round 5: (159) , S, 5 games/0 starts; (166) , NT, 18 games/9 starts. Notable undrafted FAs: , TE, 15 games/0 starts, , DE, 14 games/6 starts. Orr: On paper and before a down of football was played, the had my favorite draft of any team. Combining home-run threat with versatile and stalwart interior lineman seemed like the recipe for a foundational draft that could lift Houston to another division title. They made it there anyway, but without a season's worth of productive play from any of their core selections. this year and, for a few weeks, he was certainly booming. Fuller caught just half of his 92 targets, while Miller was only healthy for 10 games this year. Houston did find some value in the later rounds. While 's scouting report spoke for itself (at 321 pounds, ), he played formidably up front and was only about 100 snaps behind . Had Martin not mi sed the season with ankle surgery, this grade would have been significantly higher. GRADE: C+ Indianapolis Colts Round 1: (No. 18 overall) , C, 16 games/16 starts. Round 2: (57) , S, 15 games/4 starts. Round 3: (82) , OT, 8 games/3 starts. Round 4: (116) , DL, 16 games/5 starts; (125) , ILB 16 games/4 starts. Round 5: (155) , OT, 15 games/14 starts. Round 7: (239) , LB, 0 games; (248) , C/OG, 8 games/1 start. Notable undrafted FAs: , DB, 16 games/0 Ryan Smyth Women Jersey starts; , RB, 16 games/0 starts; , WR, 14 games/2 starts. Orr: This was general manager Ryan Grigson's final draft and he started out with a bang. Center should be a 10-year starter for this organization; 's version of Jeff Saturday. From there, the 2016 draft depended on your ability to be optimistic. Fifth-round pick had to play a lot of football in Year 1 and did so at a solid level. The former North Dakota State standout was on the field for almost 1,000 snaps (behind only and Kelly among O-linemen). Third-round pick did not come on until the end of the season and seems more like a long-term project for this coaching staff -- something Luck obviously doesn't need happening live in front of him right now. The always seemed like a team where the ideas of the general manager did not mesh with the philosophy of the coaching staff, which makes a draft like this incredibly hard to grade. Still, there are teams that whiffed altogether on the first-round pick, and Indianapolis did not do so. Grade: C Los Angeles Rams Round 1: (No. 1 overall) , QB, 7 games/7 starts. Round 4: (110) , TE, 16 games/7 starts; (117) , WR, 10 games/3 starts. Round 6:(177) , TE, 8 games/0 starts; (190) , MLB, 10 games/4 starts; (206) , WR, 15 games/0 starts. Notable undrafted FAs: , CB, 5 games/2 starts; , OLB, 16 games/1 start. Brooks: The mortgaged the farm to nab their QB1 of the future. Although started the season on the bench, he eventually cracked the starting lineup and showed promise as a pa ser. Sure, he didn't light up the scoreboard, but his arm talent certainly pops off the screen when I watch the tape. He should be a solid player in a new scheme better suited to his talents. and didn't play up to expectations as complementary pa s catchers. Neither player provided the offense with much of an impact, despite the opportunity on a team lacking established weapons on the outside. GRADE: C- New York Jets Round 1: (No. 20 overall) , OLB, 13 games/9 starts. Round 2: (51) , QB, 0 games. Round 3: (83) , OLB, 14 games/11 starts. Round 4: (118) , CB, 16 games/1 start. Round 5: (158) , OT, 8 games/3 starts. Round 7: (235) , P, 16 games/0 starts; (241) , WR, 15 games/1 start. Notable undrafted free agents: , WR, 16 games/8 starts; , WR, 10 games/1 start. Orr: If the are unable to get a replacement-level season out of second-round pick , their 2016 draft will go down as an unmitigated disaster. To have the team stand idly by while the rest Oscar Klefbom Jersey of the quarterback-needy organizations made power moves to secure their starters of the future was worrisome, but general manager Mike Maccagnan received the benefit of the doubt, having come from a organization led by former Penn State coach Bill O'Brien -- a person who theoretically knew Hackenberg quite well. , like mainstay , suffered from a le s-productive defensive line in 2016 -- but he still struggled, especially when asked to cover, according to coverage grades provided by Pro Football Focus. He is certainly a high-upside player and did most of his best work against the run, but the will need to see a ma sive leap forward in 2017. might have been the best value in this draft group. With their third-round pick, the found a capable edge rusher who found himself on the field for more than 500 snaps in his rookie season. Seventh-round pick was not great, with one of the lowest yards-per-punt averages in the NFL. The are claiming he is a work in progre s -- but perhaps not the kind one would spend a draft pick on? GRADE: C- Washington Redskins Round 1: (No. 22 overall) , WR, 2 games/0 starts. Round 2: (53) , LB/S, 11 games/3 starts. Round 3: (84) , CB, 13 games/6 starts. Round 5: (152) , DT, 10 games/0 starts. Round 6: (187) , QB, 0 games. Round 7: (232) , ILB, 0 games; (242) , RB, 0 games. Notable undrafted FAs: , WR, 10 games/0 starts; , RB, 15 games/9 starts. Brooks: Injuries prevented some of the ' draftees from making immediate contributions as rookies. mi sed most of the season with . showed tremendous promise as a Swi s Army Knife-like safety/linebacker, but his season was prematurely cut short by . With also sidelined , the saw most of their rookie draft cla s standing in sweats. To be fair, the team did get solid contributions from and undrafted RB . In particular, the unsung runner gave the 'Skins a rugged RB1 to lean on in critical moments. Kelley not only led the team in rushing (704), but he gave the offense an identity with his hard-hitting style.
