Third-round pick

Things got off to a slow start for Greg Dulcich as a hamstring injury bothered him all of camp and preseason and he started the year on injured reserve. The team activated him ahead of Week 6 and he made a good impact in a short amount of time.

Dulcich created a quick connection with Russell Wilson and showed himself to be a good down-field option in the passing game. He finished the season with 33 receptions for 411 yards, both good for third on the team. He also caught two touchdown passes.

Nathaniel Hackett insisted on playing tight ends like Eric Tomlinson, Eric Saubert and Andrew Beck while making Albert Okwuegbunam inactive nearly every week of the season. But Dulcich still managed to make a big splash in a short amount of time.

He should be an even bigger weapon in an offense that will be overseen by Sean Payton.

Grade: B+
