PFF's game grades: Maxwell and Jordan were excellent

TOP 5 GRADES:
CB Byron Maxwell, 90.4 overall grade

WR Doug Baldwin, 88.6 overall grade

Edge Dion Jordan, 84.6 overall grade

S Earl Thomas, 84.1 overall grade

LB K.J. Wright, 81.3 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
WR DOUG BALDWIN, 88.6 OVERALL GRADE
In a game where the Seattle offense generally struggled for much of the game, Baldwin caught four of five targets and notched his first multi-touchdown game of the season. Baldwin ended up just nine yards shy of his third-straight 1,000 yard season.

TE JIMMY GRAHAM, 40.7 OVERALL GRADE
Seattle put Graham in a tough position by asking a lot of him as a blocker in the run game, which is largely why he graded so low. He had three catches for 45 yards, including two first downs. Over the final four games of the season, he had just five catches for 47 yards, one touchdown, en route to his lowest yardage total since his rookie season. Graham did have double-digit touchdowns for the fourth season of his career, however.

CB BYRON MAXWELL, 90.4 OVERALL GRADE
Maxwell was targeted seven times on the night, allowing just one 11-yard catch to Larry Fitzgerald. Otherwise, he was continuously in close coverage and notched two pass breakups. He also made two tackles for stops in run defense.

EDGE DION JORDAN, 84.6 OVERALL GRADE
Jordan made a sizable impact on limited playing time. He rushed the quarterback 17 times, tallying two hurries, a hit, and a strip-sack. Jordan also made two runs stops on 13 plays defending the run. Despite playing just 135 snaps this season (the lowest total of any season he’s played in) he had a career high in sacks and defensive stops.

Jordan is a monster. Even just physically, his body jumps off screen. He looks like a man among boys.

Curious how much Jordan, Maxwell, McDougald and Coleman will cost to re-sign

Surprised KJ’s was that high. He was out of position on a lot of run plays yesterday.

My main concern at DL is what happened to our run defense after Naz Jones went down. Not ready to rewatch the last few games yet, but I'm sure fixing that will be somewhere at the top of Pete's priority list.

Run defense aside, there a lot of youth and potential on our defensive line looking at next season.
Dion Jordan (27)
Frank Clark (24)
Marcus Smith (25)
Malik McDowell (21)
Sheldon Richardson (27)
Quinton Jefferson (24)
Naz Jones (23)
Jarran Reed (25)

I was pretty skeptical about Jordan coming into the season, but he really proved me wrong. Great find. And with Naz, Quinton Jefferson, and Garrison Smith showing some flashes, and with Sheldon Richardson likely coming back (not sure how I feel about that), it's a lot harder to feel bad about Avril and Bennett moving on.

DL should be a strength next year, or at least not a weakness. Which is good, because it's one less thing to spend our very limited draft capital on.

Sheldon Richardson is now a UFA right?
