Grading all 32 first-round picks after Week 9 of the 2021 NFL season - PFF
PICK NO. 10: WR DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles. Overall Rookie Grade: 75.4 (Rank: 3/22). Week 9 Grade: 92.6. Smith enjoyed the breakout game that has been coming for a while, catching five of the six passes thrown his way for 116 yards and a touchdown. The sixth pass could easily have been another touchdown if quarterback Jalen Hurts had given him a little more of a chance on the throw. For the season, Smith is now averaging 1.75 yards per route run and 26 of his 38 catches have moved the chains for a first down.
