Across the NFL , rookies are being asked to step into starring roles faster than ever — and how well they’ve responded often mirrors their teams’ fortunes.
With seven weeks of the season in the books, Yardbarker NFL writers graded every NFL team’s rookie class based on production, efficiency and long-term promise.
Here's how the league's draft classes stack up so far:
NFC East
DALLAS COWBOYS (3-3-1) | Rookie class grade: D | Rookie right guard Tyler Booker is a good contributor on a potent offense. He's playing at an average level for his first year (Pro Football Focus grade of 60.3 percent , the 48th best of 114 guards). Booker’s fellow rookies on defense have been relegated to depth pieces for one of the NFL's worst units. Second-round defensive end Donovan Ezeirua
