Which NFL rookies graded best in Week 1?

NFL Offensive Line Rankings Week 2: Eagles, Chiefs, And Browns Have The Top OLs After One Week Of Action (4. Detroit Lions:  Logan Stenberg had a rough showing while replacing the injured Halapoulivaati Vaitai, but that was to be expected against the Eagles, who have arguably the NFL’s best defensive line rotation. Meanwhile, center Frank Ragnow is banged up and hasn’t practiced this week. Detroit’s offensive line is underrated, but the cracks are beginning to show. They’ll need their depth pieces to step up, or they could slip down these rankings.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-week-2-eagles-chiefs-and-browns-have-the-top-ols-after-one-week-of-action/

Doug Kyed's Mailbag: 49ers running back shakeup, Zach Wilson's future and more (@SKYWALKR_15: IS GOFF THE HOPE FOR DETROIT:  I mean, probably not, right? The Lions have a pretty decent roster, and he earned a 49.5 PFF grade in his season debut after being graded out at 60.3 in 2021.  I think Goff is a capable starter. He proved that with the Los Angeles Rams, but next year’s quarterback class is regarded as very strong by people around the NFL, and unless the Lions really surprise some folks this season, they should be picking in range to get one of those QBs.  You have to draft a QB for the future unless you have an obvious franchise signal-caller. And Goff hasn’t been that for the Lions.  I think it was also telling that the Lions didn’t draft a quarterback in 2022 even though they obviously needed a developmental option. It appeared they were waiting for the 2023 class.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-doug-kyeds-mailbag-49ers-running-back-shakeup-zach-wilsons-future-and-more

MJD: Saquon's BACK! Plus, my top 15 RBs right now (3.  D'Andre Swiftn(2022 stats: 1 game | 15 att | 144 rush yds | 9.6 ypc | 1 rush TD | 3 rec | 31 rec yds | 0 rec TD | 0 fumbles lost): Is this the year Swift becomes one of the league's elite backs? We know Duce Staley wants this. Jamaal Williams got majority of the goal-line work, but Swift put on a show with the ball in his hands, averaging an absurd 9.6 yards per carry against an Eagles defensive front that's pretty damn stout on paper.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-week-2-saquon-barkley-is-back-plus-my-top-15-running-backs-after-week-1
