As one wrap-up to the 2016 season, the folks at nfl.com issued grades on the rookie classes of each NFL team. The article’s title says most of what you need to know: “2016 rookie grades: Packers, Rams, Jets get limited production.”
Bucky Brooks’ overall assessment was that the Green Bay Packers’ rookies “failed to make a significant impact on the roster despite the presence of several promising players.” He felt first-round pick Kenny Clark failed to “deliver many splash plays.” Third-rounder Kyler Fackrell did have three splash plays, two sacks and a forced fumble, but otherwise had little impact.
