For the last few years, the weekly rookie reports were as extensive as the draft classes they covered. The 2017 and 2018 classes each had 11 drafted players and at least one undrafted free agent play in the regular season. The majority of those classes not only made the team, but were notable contributors during their rookie years.
2019 has not started the same for this crop of rookies.
Sure, injuries are plaguing a handful of draft picks, especially their first-round pick Jonah Williams, but the draft picks who are playing are not making much of an impact.
