The complete breakdown for each team is at the link, but the Niners and the Seahawks Rookies both received a B grade, while the Rams received a C- and the Cardinals got a D
IMO, it's a bit early to grade this year's class completely, because it often takes time for players to develop, but that doesn't stop it from happening, and I suppose there are things that can be learned by evaluating the rookie year, as long as it's taken with a grain of salt and not a stamp meant to hover over their entire career.

The Seahawks are one of the few teams in the NFL that counts on its undrafted free agents to make as many contributions as its top selections. To that point, the team found a left tackle in George Fant with long-term potential. Sure, he struggled on the island, but he definitely has the athleticism to play on Russell Wilson's blind side. The Seahawks' first-round pick, Germain Ifedi, cracked the starting lineup at right guard and held his own against tough competition. Nick Vannett, Alex Collins and C.J. Prosise made solid contributions in limited action. If they continue to progress over the offseason, they should be primed for bigger roles in 2017. GRADE: B
