At the rough midway point of the 2024 NFL season, it's an excellent time to reflect upon the play we've seen so far. That includes evaluating each team's roles and production from rookies.
Using PFF data and grading, we’re taking an in-depth look at the 2024 NFL Draft class. This article includes snap counts, grades and rankings for all rookies, with each player’s rank among qualifying first-year players at their position. Players had to play at least 20% of the maximum snaps at their position to qualify.
JUMP TO A TEAM:
ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CIN | CHI | CLE | DEN | DAL | DET | GB | HOU | IND | JAX | KC | LVR | LAC | LAR | MIA | MIN | NE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SEA | SF | TB | TEN | WAS
Arizona Cardinals
| Name | Team | Pos. | Snaps Played | PFF Grade | Rank |
| Dadrion Taylor-Demerson | Cardinals | S | 42 | 90.3 | N/A |
| Marvin Harrison Jr. | Cardinals | WR | 367 | 79.2 | 4/20 |
| Isaiah Adams | Cardinals | G | 75 | 67.1 | N/A |
| Trey Benson | Cardinals | HB | 62 | 54.8 | 6/8 |
| Tip Reiman | Cardinals | TE | 200 | 54.1 | T-6/10 |
| Xavier Weaver | Cardinals | WR | 41 | 49.7 | N/A |
| Max Melton | Cardinals | CB | 267 | 44.9 | 20/22 |
| Xavier Thomas | Cardinals | ED | 72 | 40.2 | 14/14 |
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster year for Harrison, who ranks as the fourth-best rookie receiver thus far. Fourth-round pick Taylor-Demerson has thrived but in a very limited role.
Atlanta Falcons
| Name | Team | Pos. | Snaps Played | PFF Grade | Rank |
| Casey Washington | Falcons | WR | 7 | 83.1 | N/A |
| Michael Penix Jr. | Falcons | QB | 7 | 73.0 | N/A |
| Jase McClellan | Falcons | HB | 6 | 64.4 | N/A |
| Ruke Orhorhoro | Falcons | DI | 63 | 53.4 | 11/17 |
| JD Bertrand | Falcons | LB | 77 | 51.3 | 8/9 |
The Falcons‘ draft class was a bit puzzling when it was first unveiled, and the early results haven't offered much more clarity. No Atlanta rookie has played more than 77 snaps, with only two of five players even qualifying at their positions.
