Final PFF grades for Jaguars’ 2024 rookie class

Let’s take a look back at the Jaguars’ 2024 rookie class and the grades they received from Pro Football Focus.

With the dust having settled on the 2024 season, let’s take a look back at how the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie draft class fared through the Pro Football Focus’ lens.

However, before we do that, I do feel it’s important to mention that PFF’s grading system is far from the be-all-end-all. While helpful in quantifying a player’s performance, it is one metric out of many that are out there and should be treated as such.

Here is a look at PFF’s grading system to provide some context behind the numbers:

90.0+: Elite
80-89.9: High quality
70-79.9: Good
60-69.9: Above average
50-59.9: Average
40-49.9: Below average
39.9 or less: Poor

Now, with that out of the way, let’s dive in:

WR Brian Thomas Jr.

PFF grade: 82.0

It was an exceptional rookie year for Thomas. Not only was he the most productive receiver in a loaded draft class at that position, but he was one of the most productive receivers in all of football. Thomas would total 1,282 yards–the third-most in football–and 10 touchdowns. Perhaps most impressive was that defenses knew the ball was coming his way and still struggled to stop him.

DT Maason Smith

PFF grade: 43.7

Smith played 384 snaps as a rookie and totaled 14 pressures and three sacks. Smith ranked 133rd in PFF’s run defense grade and was 100th among defensive tackles in pass rush win rate.

CB Jarrian Jones

PFF grade: 69.0

Playing from the slot, Jones’ run defense grade was the sixth-best among cornerbacks, according to PFF’s metrics. In coverage, Jones allowed just 10.2 yards per target with six pass breakups and an interception. PFF would note that out of 42 eligible slot cornerbacks, Jones ranked 11th in passer rating, 13th in yards per snaps, and ninth in snaps per target.

OT Javon Foster

PFF grade: N/A

Foster did not play any offensive snaps in his rookie year. He appeared in four games on special teams and totaled 12 snaps during that span.

DT Jordan Jefferson

PFF grade: 62.7

Jefferson appeared in eight games on defense and played 151 snaps. He recorded three pressures and a sack as a pass rusher, but by PFF’s metrics, made a bigger impact in the run game.

CB Deantre Prince

PFF grade: 50.6

Prince played in six games on defense, totaling 101 snaps. He allowed five receptions on nine targets in coverage at 13.8 yards per catch and had one pass breakup. He was also penalized once as well.

RB Keilan Robinson

PFF grade: 60.0

Robinson played just five snaps on offense over three games late in the season. He did not get a carry and instead blocked on those plays.

K Cam Little

PFF grade: 90.2

There’s always some unknown with rookie kickers, but Little was terrific. He finished his rookie season making all 27 of his extra point attempts, and he was 27-for-29 on field goal attempts. On kicks from 40-49 yards, Little was 8-for-9 and from 50-plus he was 5-for-6.

DE Myles Cole

PFF grade: 34.0

A terrific athlete at 280 pounds but refinement is needed. Cole played 135 snaps on defense in 2024 and totaled one pressure and eight tackles.

PFF grades of Packers free agent class in 2025

Taking a closer look at the 2024 season from the Packers 2025 free agent class.

The Green Bay Packers have 18 players entering free agency with expiring contracts in 2025. While the team doesn’t have a hugely important player with an expiring deal, several starters and contributors are about to enter free agency.

How did the 2024 look for the Packers’ free agents? Let’s take a closer look.

Here are the PFF grades and relevant stats from the Packers’ 2025 free agent class:

C Josh Myers

PFF grade: 54.2
Rank among centers: 41/43

Myers has graded out as one of the NFL’s worst centers during all four of his seasons as a starter. While giving up just one sack in 2024, Myers allowed a career-high 31 pressures, which ranked as the third-most among centers. And pass-blocking is his strongest area — his run-blocking grade finished as the second worst among centers. Myers’ career high grade at PFF is only 60.4. The 2021 second rounder appears to be the definition of a replacement-level player.

LB Isaiah McDuffie

PFF grade: 55.4
Rank among linebackers: 47/53 (at least 600 snaps played)

McDuffie played over 700 defensive snaps for the Packers at linebacker in 2024. He struggled mightily in coverage, allowing 84.4 percent completions and five touchdown passes on targets into his coverage. His 129.6 passer rating allowed in coverage ranked as the second worst among linebackers. McDuffie produced 28 stops, or a tackle creating an offensive failure, but that was tied for the fifth least among linebackers with at least 600 snaps. If you can’t consistently cover or create disruptive plays, it’s tough to survive at linebacker in today’s NFL.

CB Eric Stokes

PFF grade: 61.3
Rank among cornerbacks: 75/128

Stokes was one of only five cornerbacks to play at least 250 snaps and fail to create a pass breakup. He gave up only 33 completions against his coverage, but he allowed three touchdown passes and a passer rating of 96.7. His run defense grade ranked 114th out of 128 qualifying cornerbacks, and he produced only seven stops. A solid stretch of play between November and December wasn’t enough to save another disappointing season from the 2021 first-round pick.

LB Eric Wilson

PFF grade: 64.3
Rank among linebackers: 43/90 (at least 250 snaps played)

Wilson missed 11 tackles and wasn’t an effective player in coverage (allowed completions on 82.9 percent of targets), but he went supernova against the Colts and Texans early in the season and was once again a rock-solid special teams player. Wilson created 10 total special teams tackles (solo and assists) and didn’t have a penalty. In terms of backup linebackers, Wilson is a veteran asset.

DL TJ Slaton

PFF grade: 43.0
Rank among defensive linemen: 130/145

Slaton led all defensive linemen in ESPN’s run stop win rate, suggesting a dominant season against the run, and the Packers effectiveness stopping the run with Slaton on the field backs up ESPN’s claim. But PFF did not agree. Slaton finished with one of the worst run defense grades at the position, and a 13.5 missed tackle rate meant a poor tackle grade. Slaton finished with only one sack and two quarterback hits, highlighting his limitations as a pass-rusher. But PFF’s overall grade for Slaton doesn’t seem to match up with his specific value as a run stopper and block eater.

P Daniel Whelan (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 75.4
Rank among punters: 14/34

A poor finish to the season sabotaged a strong year overall. Whelan finished 27th in net punting at 40.4 yards, which was damaged significantly by the 93-yard punt return for a touchdown in the season finale. Whelan allowed only 37.9 percent of his punts to be returned, which ranked seventh best, and his 4.53-second average hang time ranked third. He will return to Green Bay as an ascending young punter in 2025.

K Brandon McManus

PFF grade: 82.1
Rank among kickers: 12/39

Counting the postseason, McManus connected on 21 of 23 field goals and all 31 extra points. His field goal percentage of 91.3 ended up ranking eighth among kickers. He also made all three field goals over 50 yards. The Packers want him back.

RB Emanuel Wilson (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 82.9
Rank among running backs: 12/53

Wilson was excellent. He forced 28 missed tackles on only 106 attempts, averaged 4.8 yards per carry, had 13 runs of 10 or more yards and caught 12 of 15 targets. He also didn’t fumble. Wilson will return with a chance to be the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs again in 2025.

WR Bo Melton (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 63.2
Rank among wide receivers: 115/198

Melton caught only nine of 19 targets and averaged just 0.99 yards per route run, committed two penalties and was targeted twice on interceptions. He did haul in four of five contested targets, and he rushed eight times for 54 yards.

DE Arron Mosby (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 62.5
Rank among edge rushers: 96/211

Mosby produced 10 pressures, made four stops and was solid against the run (67.5 grade) while playing 150 total snaps. He was also on the field for 258 special teams snaps, giving him potential as an edge rusher and value for Rich Bisaccia entering 2025.

S Zayne Anderson (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 80.8
Rank among safeties: 12/170

Anderson played only 122 snaps at safety, but he was effective, logging five tackles, an interception and a pass-breakup. The career special teamer didn’t allow a single completion into his coverage. He also led the team with 10 solo tackles on special teams. While not a preferred starter at safety, Anderson proved his value covering kicks and punts and as a reliable backup option.

CB Corey Ballentine

PFF grade: 53.5
Rank among cornerbacks: 175/223

He played 75 snaps at cornerback and allowed four completions for 56 yards and a touchdown. On special teams, Ballentine played over 200 snaps and finished with four tackles and a solid 70.9 grade.

TE John FitzPatrick (restricted)

PFF grade: 55.1
Rank among tight ends: 73/120

FitzPatrick caught one pass for two yards but was mostly used as a run blocker. He played 60 snaps on special teams. His noteworthy play was a holding penalty on a kickoff in the wildcard loss in Philadelphia.

OL Kadeem Telfort (exclusive rights)

PFF grade: 48.9
Rank among offensive linemen: 268/312

His final grade was torpedoed by the finish in Philadelphia. Telfort allowed three total pressures and committed a penalty over 62 total snaps at left and right guard across five games.

LT Andre Dillard

PFF grade: 72.7
Rank among offensive tackles: N/A

Dillard played only 13 total snaps (nine at left tackle, four at right tackle) in blowout wins over the 49ers and Saints.

CB Robert Rochell

PFF grade: 60.0
Rank among cornerbacks: N/A

Rochell played only one snap from scrimmage in 2024. He struggled on special teams, committing two penalties and registering just two tackles across 124 snaps.

TE Tyler Davis

PFF grade: N/A
Rank among tight ends: N/A

Davis was placed on season-ending injured reserve in August and did not play in 2024.

RB A.J. Dillon

PFF grade: N/A
Rank among running backs: N/A

Dillon was placed on season-ending injured reserve in August and did not play in 2024.

Final PFF grades for Colts’ 2024 rookie class

Let’s take a look back at the Colts’ 2024 rookie class and their overall grades from Pro Football Focus.

With the dust having settled on the 2024 season, let’s take a look back at how the Indianapolis Colts rookie draft class fared through the Pro Football Focus’ lens.

But first, to state the obvious, PFF’s grading system is far from the be-all-end-all. While helpful in quantifying a player’s performance, it is one metric out of many that are out there and should be treated as such.

Here is a look at PFF’s grading system to provide some context behind the numbers:

90.0+: Elite
80-89.9: High quality
70-79.9: Good
60-69.9: Above average
50-59.9: Average
40-49.9: Below average
39.9 or less: Poor

Now, with that out of the way, let’s dive in:

DE Laiatu Latu

PFF grade: 71.5

Latu’s 38 pressures were the second-most on the Colts’ defense last season. He had four sacks as well. He regularly showcased his ability to win one-on-one matchups, ranking 30th out of 121 defensive ends in PFF’s pass rush win rate metric. He also steadily improved as a run defender as the season went on.

WR AD Mitchell

PFF grade: 57.9

Mitchell would catch just 23 of his 51 targets for 312 yards and averaging 13.6 yards per catch. At times, drops were an issue or he wasn’t on the same page as the quarterback. GM Chris Ballard said that they need more consistency out of Mitchell in Year 2. But with that said, what we did see from Mitchell was an impressive ability to create separation.

OT Matt Goncalves

PFF grade: 65.9

Goncalves was tasked with playing both tackle spots in his first season due to injuries on the offensive line. As is the case with most first year players, the more reps Goncalves got, the better he performed. By PFF’s metrics, Goncalves was a more effective run blocker than pass blocker in Year 1.

C Tanor Bortolini

PFF grade: 65.1

When called upon, Bortolini provided a steady presence at center for the Colts. Among all centers he ranked 15th in pass-blocking efficiency and was 22nd in run-blocking grade.

LB Jaylon Carlies

PFF grade: 70.0

Carlies was the Colts third linebacker when lined up in their 4-3 base this past season. He proved to be a sound tackler and as a former college safety, Carlies brought some added coverage ability to the position, holding pass catchers to only 6.0 yards per catch.

WR Anthony Gould

PFF grade: 69.6

The caveat here is that Gould played only 15 offensive snaps all season–so take his grade with a grain of salt. Gould was inactive on gamedays for much of the year, but did regain his return man role late in the season, where he was much more decisive in his decision-making. On special teams, Gould had a grade of 58.5.

OL Dalton Tucker

PFF grade: 53.3

The undrafted rookie took over at right guard for Will Fries but as there began to be more film on him, defenders started to take advantage of the first year player. This eventually resulted in Tucker being benched for Mark Glowinski. Tucker surrendered 24 pressures and had a run-blocking grade of just 53.0.

PFF’s highest-graded New Orleans Saints free agent may surprise you

PFF’s highest-graded New Orleans Saints free agent may surprise you. Who expected wide receiver Dante Pettis to get top marks?

The New Orleans Saints have a handful of contributors from last year’s squad heading into free agency, but the one that got the highest Pro Football Focus grade is not someone anyone would expect.

PFF’s Bradley Locker recently went through each NFL team’s impending free agents to find the players that received the best marks last season. For the Saints, it was wide receiver Dante Pettis at 70.2. That isn’t a great grade, but that does say a lot about how New Orleans performed last season.

This is what Locker had to say about the season:

As the Saints dealt with a slew of wide receiver injuries, Pettis received a makeshift opportunity and made the most of it. His 69.3 PFF receiving grade was his highest since 2018, and he also had zero drops on 24 targets. However, Pettis’ other advanced numbers, such as yards per route run (1.21) and yards after catch per reception (2.9), were lackluster.

Pettis had just 12 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown in 2024. It wasn’t much, but it was his first recorded stats since 2022 and actually the third-best campaign of his career.

With Shaheed hurt, the veteran also stepped in to a bit of a return specialist role at times as well. He had 90 total punt return yards and 96 from kickoffs. He also had a huge return for a touchdown called back after it was ruled he went out of bounds. It wasn’t much, but he did have a couple of big plays.

The 29-year-old receiver will likely be off to another new team next year, perhaps he did enough late to earn a chance at a real role. He does have a big fan in interim head coach Darren Rizzi, who values Pettis on special teams. If Rizzi is named the full-time head coach he could choose to keep Pettis around.

Former Cowboys 3rd-round pick would be big help in fixing 49ers DL

The 49ers should have a close eye on Osa Odighizuwa in free agency.

Revamping the defensive line should be one of the San Francisco 49ers’ highest offseason priorities.

Given that they need to upgrade starters and depth pieces at multiple positions, they’ll have to address the defensive front through both free agency and the draft.

Pro Football Focus offered an intriguing option for the 49ers in the free agent market. The football analytics site named San Francisco as the best offseason landing spot for former Dallas Cowboys third-round pick Osa Odighizuwa.

Odighizuwa, a 26-year-old defensive tackle, would offer a quick replacement for DT Javon Hargrave who restructured his contract to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens March 14.

Via PFF:

Over the past two seasons, Osa Odighizuwa has established himself as a reliable interior pass-rusher, earning a 78.0 pass-rush grade in both campaigns. He’s totaled over 100 pressures and 10 sacks during that span, showcasing his consistent ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks.

One knock on Odighizuwa is that he’s not a great run stopper. And while finding better run stoppers up front is something that also has to be on the 49ers’ to-do list this offseason, fixing their pass rush is a greater priority. There aren’t many defensive tackles who were better at generating pressure than Odighizuwa last season.

His 15.1 percent pass rush win rate was tied for the 22nd-best mark in the NFL and would have easily ranked second on the 49ers behind defensive end Nick Bosa. The second-best pass rush win rate on San Francisco’s D-line last season belonged to DT Maliek Collins at 12.0 percent (66th-best in the NFL).

San Francisco has a ways to go to revamp a defensive line that struggled last season. Finding a player like Odighizuwa on something less than a top-of-market deal would be a really nice start.

49ers highest-graded pending free agent a shocker

Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded pending 49ers free agent is a shocker.

Pro Football Focus broke down every NFL team’s highest-graded pending free agent from the 2024 season.

The top billing for the San Francisco 49ers is a name that might surprise you. Among San Francisco players on expiring deals with a minimum of 100 snaps, offensive tackle Jaylon Moore was the highest-graded 49er.

In his 271 snaps of work, Moore earned a 74.9 offensive grade, which ranked sixth among San Francisco’s offensive personnel.

This honor would have gone to Dre Greenlaw (82.0 PFF overall grade), but the linebacker mustered only 34 snaps this past year. Meanwhile, Moore was a solid fill-in at left tackle, surrendering only one sack and 10 pressures on 154 opportunities. The 27-year-old was generally effective as a run blocker, reflected in his 70.1 PFF run-blocking grade.

With only 831 career offensive snaps under his belt, Moore projects best as a swing and/or depth tackle. With Trent Williams’ decision to return not yet known, the 49ers could look to bring Moore back if they need to usher in a more marquee replacement. – Bradley Locker, Pro Football Focus.

A fifth-round pick out of Western Michigan in the 2021 NFL draft, Moore just completed his rookie contract.

Moore worked as the 49ers’ starting left tackle throughout camp and preseason while star left tackle Trent Williams held out. Then, as Williams dealt with a lingering ankle injury in the back half of the 2024 season, Moore plugged in and performed well.

The expectation from 49ers general manager John Lynch is that Williams will be back to pair with right tackle Colton McKivitz in 2025. Even if Williams returns, the 49ers could use a solid depth piece like Moore up front that understands Kyle Shanahan’s system and that can play both outside and inside.

With just 12 career starts, the 49ers should be able to re-sign Moore at a reasonable price.

The 49ers will have as many as 33 players entering some form of free agency, including high-profile unrestricted free agents such as linebacker Dre Greenlaw, defensive linemen Kevin Givens and Javon Hargrave, cornerback Charvarius Ward and safety Talanoa Hufanga.

Graham Glasgow’s decline forces the Lions into a tough spot at guard

Graham Glasgow had the worst blown block and pressure rate of any guard in the NFL in 2024

Anyone who watched the Detroit Lions play down the stretch could see that the once-mighty offensive line just wasn’t playing to its typical standard. That was especially true of left guard Graham Glasgow.

It wasn’t a strong season for the 32-year-old Michigan man. His move from right guard to left to replace Jonah Jackson didn’t fare as well as hoped. Blown blocks, which aren’t exactly position-specific, were a particular problem.

In the graphic below from Stat Account, blown blocks and pressure rates for interior offensive linemen are charted. The upper right quadrant is where the best players are, a realm where right guard Kevin Zeitler prominently resides. The farther down and to the left, the worse it gets.

Glasgow’s prominence to the far left and near the bottom validates the Pro Football Focus grades he earned during the season. The veteran earned a PFF overall game score over 55.1 just twice in the final seven games; 60.0 is considered a below-average performance. Against Washington, Glasgow earned an absurdly low 10.2 score in pass protection, giving up nine QB pressures and a sack–the strip-sack on Jared Goff that created a takeaway for the Washington defense.

In his first year back from Denver, Glasgow was strong in 2023 as Detroit’s starting right guard–notably in the run game. His 2024 campaign was a lot more like his final year in Denver in 2022. Glasgow ranked 68th out of 77 guards graded by PFF who played at least 250 snaps in 2024. In his last Broncos season, when he ranked dead last in PFF overall grades amongst qualifying guards and centers.

The pattern is troubling. Glasgow is due $5.5 million in 2025 and $6.5 million in 2026, which is starter salary. Zeitler, who turns 35 in March, is a free agent. The Lions got impressive work from rookie Christian Mahogany in limited time, enough that it’s reasonable to expect him to start in 2025. Mahogany is a natural right guard, though he filled in capably at left guard.

Glasgow is also the de facto backup for center Frank Ragnow. He still brings value and merit as the top reserve interior offensive lineman, albeit a fairly expensive one. The drop in his play with no notable injuries (in Detroit) is concerning enough that the Lions need to actively look to replace him in the starting lineup. If he fights off that challenge, and don’t put it past a proud vet like Glasgow to make that happen, it’s an even better scenario for the Lions.

Packers PFF grades: Best, worst players from loss to Eagles in NFC Wild Card Round

Based on grades from PFF, here are the best and worst players from the Packers’ NFC Wild Card Round loss to the Eagles.

The Green Bay Packers played one of their worst games on offense and one of their worst games of the entire season by grade at Pro Football Focus during Sunday’s 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL playoffs.

While Josh Jacobs looked elite again, he was pretty much alone among standouts on offense, and the Packers didn’t get enough disruptive or game-changing plays from the defense to survive the calamity on offense.

Based on grades from Pro Football Focus, here are the best and worst players from the Packers’ NFC Wild Card Round loss to the Eagles:

Top 5 offense

1. RB Josh Jacobs: 91.1
2. WR Jayden Reed: 76.5
3. LT Rasheed Walker: 65.9
4. TE Tucker Kraft: 62.9
5. WR Bo Melton: 62.8

Jacobs gained 74 yards after first contact and forced 12 missed tackles in the run game and caught all three targets for 40 yards and forced two more missed tackles in the passing game. Reed averaged 2.09 yards per route run after catching all four targets for 46 yards, including 19 after the catch. Walker gave up only two hurries over 41 pass-blocking snaps. Kraft caught all five targets and converted both of his tight end sneak attempts for first downs. Melton caught one pass for 16 yards and was effective as a blocker.

Top 5 defense

1. DL Karl Brooks: 86.8
2. LB Edgerrin Cooper: 78.4
3. S Javon Bullard: 75.6
4. DL Colby Wooden: 66.5
5. DE Kingsley Enagbare: 66.0

Brooks produced three hurries and a run stop across 19 snaps. Cooper had a quarterback hit, eight total tackles with just one miss and a team-high four stops, continuing the brilliant end to his rookie season. Bullard had two tackles and a stop and allowed just two catches for four yards in coverage from the slot. Wooden had two pressures, including a shared sack, on just nine pass-rushing snaps. Enagbare had a pressure and four tackles and earned the defense’s top run defense grade.

Bottom 5 offense

1. OL Travis Glover: 27.7
2. RB Emanuel Wilson: 45.0
3. OL Kadeem Telfort: 45.7
4. LG Elgton Jenkins: 48.6
5. C Josh Myers: 49.4

Glover committed three penalties before being pulled at left guard. He earned a 1.8 pass-block grade and 38.9 run-blocking grade. Wilson rushed three times for just six yards and caught just one of three targets with a drop. Telfort gave up two pressures, including a quarterback hit, and was penalized once. Jenkins gave up two pressures during his only four snaps before injury. Myers struggled in the run game and allowed two pressures across 61 total snaps.

Bottom 5 defense

1. DL TJ Slaton: 37.7
2. CB Carrington Valentine: 38.5
3. DE Brenton Cox Jr.: 43.9
4. LB Isaiah McDuffie: 51.2
5. DE Lukas Van Ness: 55.4

Slaton had three stops against the run but also missed a tackle, had a crucial penalty and managed just one hurry on 14 pass-rushing snaps. Valentine missed a team-high three tackles, including one on a touchdown, and gave up four catches on four targets into his coverage while earning the team’s lowest run defense grade. Cox Jr. had just one pressure on 15 pass-rushing snaps. McDuffie earned a poor run defense grade across 22 snaps against the run. Van Ness had two run stops but didn’t have a pressure as a pass-rusher.

Special teams

Rather incredibly, the Packers earned their best special teams grade of the season. Ty’Ron Hopper, Chris Brooks, Bo Melton and Isaiah McDuffie all made tackles covering punts and kicks, and the Packers didn’t have a miss. John FitzPatrick was flagged for holding on a kickoff return, Keisean Nixon fumbled a kickoff return and Brandon McManus missed a 38-yard field goal.

Quarterback play

Jordan Love: 54.7

Love played his second-worst game of the season by PFF grade. He threw two interceptions from clean pockets and completed only 3-of-10 passes thrown over 10 yards. He had one big-time throw (likely the 29-yarder to Dontayvion Wicks) and four turnover worthy plays (three interceptions, plus the near interception on first throw of the game). Two of his passes were dropped. One was batted down. He took two sacks and was under pressure on 15 of his 36 dropbacks (41.7 percent). The Packers attempted only three play-action passes and four screens. Love wasn’t good and he got little help.
