Ranking the NFL's most productive 2019 rookie classes from 1-32

Fitzgerald: Murray's talent is out of this world (0:50)

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald gives high praise to QB Kyler Murray on his rookie season. (0:50)

The ability to get production from players on rookie contracts is one of the biggest competitive edges NFL teams can create. It is easier to do that with a wealth of draft capital near the top of the board, of course, but it's important how much a team can get from its draft picks relative to where they were taken rather than just blindly adding together all the production from the class.

If Player X and Player Y have similar seasons, the production from Player Y, taken in the sixth round, is much more valuable than the production a team gets from first-round-pick Player X.

Pro Football Focus has unveiled its wins above replacement metric in recent weeks (PFF WAR), and we used it to rank all 32 teams on the value of their rookie class over expectation given where each player was selected in the 2019 draft.

1. Washington Redskins

Why they're ranked here: The Redskins got average quarterback play from Dwayne Haskins after he took over as the starter in Week 9 and an outstanding performance from third-round receiver Terry McLaurin. Play like that from two of the most valuable positions in the NFL will go a long way toward making a top draft class.

How their top pick fared: Haskins (No. 15 overall) got off to a rough start to his career with two shaky performances off the bench, but he rebounded with a 73.4 PFF grade (12th among quarterbacks) after taking over as the starter in Week 9.

Best value pick: McLaurin (No. 76 overall) was a revelation in 2019. His 86.5 receiving grade not only led all rookie wide receivers this season, but it was the highest mark since Odell Beckham Jr.'s in 2014.


2. Jacksonville Jaguars

Why they're ranked here: Anytime you can get the most valuable rookie in the NFL (Gardner Minshew) in the sixth round of the draft, you're going to finish pretty high on this list. The Jaguars also got promising performances from early picks Josh Allen and Jawaan Taylor, both members of the PFF All-Rookie Team.

How their top pick fared: Allen (No. 7 overall) finished second among rookie edge defenders in total pressures and pressure rate, just behind No. 2 pick Nick Bosa. Allen wasn't as dominant as his 10.5 sacks would suggest, but he had a strong rookie season.

Best value pick: People seem to forget that Minshew (No. 178 overall) was dealing early in the season before being benched for a returning Nick Foles. Even with worse play after returning as the starter, he was our highest-graded rookie quarterback.


3. Kansas City Chiefs

Why they're ranked here: With no first-round pick and just three selections within the first five rounds, the Chiefs didn't have much to work with in the 2019 draft. However, they hit on key contributors in the second round who secured their spot among the top three classes.

How their top pick fared: Wide receiver Mecole Hardman (No. 56 overall) hasn't had a massive role in the Chiefs' offense given the playmakers they already had, but he has been electric when given the chance, with a passer rating when targeted of 153.9. He was also a dynamic returner, making the Pro Bowl team.

Best value pick: The loss of safety Juan Thornhill (No. 63 overall) to a torn ACL before the playoffs was a big blow for Kansas City. He was the primary free safety on a defense that allowed the third-best passer rating in the league on passes 20 or more yards downfield.


4. New York Giants

Why they're ranked here: We graded Daniel Jones as our 24th-ranked quarterback overall, but he had more success than many expected, throwing 24 touchdown passes. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, the Giants' second first-round pick, had the highest PFF grade of any rookie interior defensive lineman, and the team saw promising starts to the careers of late-round picks Darius Slayton and Julian Love.

How their top pick fared: Jones (No. 6 overall) showed flashes of high-level play, but carelessness with the football is something to work on moving forward. His 31 turnover-worthy plays -- the plays our grading deem as riskiest, even if they didn't always result in a turnover -- were fourth-most in the NFL.

Best value pick: Wide receiver Slayton (No. 171 overall) was part of the year of the rookie wide receiver, significantly outperforming his fifth-round pedigree. His 18 receptions of 15-plus yards were fifth among rookie wideouts.


5. New Orleans Saints

Why they're ranked here: The Saints have mortgaged their future to win now in recent years, which left the draft cupboard bare in 2019. Despite that, they managed to nail their first two picks in Rounds 2 and 4, even getting key contributions from an undrafted free agent in defensive tackle Shy Tuttle. That's doing more with less.

How their top pick fared: Center Erik McCoy (No. 48 overall) wasn't only the best rookie center in the NFL, he was one of the top centers in the league. His PFF overall grade of 76.1 ranked fourth at the position.

Best value pick: Cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson (No. 105 overall) was one of the top values in the draft, for any team. He spent a lot of his time in the slot this past season, excelling there with the fourth-highest slot-coverage grade among qualifiers.


6. Tennessee Titans

Why they're ranked here: Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and safety Amani Hooker both added value in limited roles this season, but the reason the Titans are ranked here is they added one of the most dynamic playmakers in the class and PFF's offensive rookie of the year in wide receiver A.J. Brown.

How their top pick fared: Simmons (No. 19 overall) returned from injury in Week 7 and was one of the more productive rookie interior defensive linemen in the NFL. His 70.4 PFF overall grade ranked 43rd among 117 qualifiers at the position.

Best value pick: Brown (No. 51 overall) was the No. 1 receiver after the catch this season. His 8.9 yards after the catch per reception led all wide receivers with 50 or more catches.


7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Why they're ranked here: The Buccaneers have made the secondary a priority in recent drafts, and they have hit on some of those picks. Both Sean Murphy-Bunting and Jamel Dean showed promise as rookies, particularly Dean. He played like one of the better cornerbacks in the league over the second half of the season.

How their top pick fared: The biggest strength for linebacker Devin White (No. 5 overall) coming out of LSU -- his coverage ability -- didn't translate to the NFL right away. He did finish the season with his five highest PFF coverage grades of the year, which bodes well heading into 2020.

Best value pick: From Week 10 through the end of the season, Dean (No. 94 overall) forced incompletions on more than 30% of his targets and allowed a passer rating of just 29.1. Not bad for a third-round pick.


8. Chicago Bears

Why they're ranked here: The Bears have a strange class. They had only five picks, none before Round 3, with three of those five selections coming after Round 6. As a result, their expected return was low. Running back David Montgomery was really the only Bears' rookie to play significant snaps, and he managed to provide enough return from his third-round selection to land them at No. 8.

How their top pick fared: Montgomery (No. 73 overall) was a handful to tackle at Iowa State, and that elusiveness carried over to the NFL. His 47 broken tackles on rushing attempts were the eighth-most in the league.

Best value pick: N/A


9. Indianapolis Colts

Why they're ranked here: The Colts' rookie class wasn't without its struggles, but it did add some interesting pieces in coverage that showed promise. Both linebacker Bobby Okereke and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin made PFF's All-Rookie team despite early-season growing pains. If those two continue to progress, along with Marvell Tell III and Khari Willis, this class could yield several regular contributors on the defensive side.

How their top pick fared: Ya-Sin (No. 34 overall) improved greatly over the second half of the season. His PFF overall grade increased from 48.4 from Weeks 1 to 8 to 77.9 from Weeks 9 to 17.

Best value pick: Okereke (No. 89 overall) was strong in coverage, keeping pass catchers in front of him in their zone when on the field. He allowed just over 6 yards per target this season.


10. Seattle Seahawks

Why they're ranked here: The first-round selection of pass-rusher L.J. Collier was a flop in Year 1, but the Seahawks got one of the biggest steals of the draft, with wide receiver DK Metcalf falling in their laps at the end of the second round. His freakish athleticism has been a game-changer for the offense, pushing the class into the top 10.

How their top pick fared: Seattle would have hoped for a better debut season from the 24-year-old Collier (No. 29 overall). He played just 152 snaps and recorded one pressure in 86 pass-rushing snaps.

Best value pick: Metcalf (No. 64 overall) has given the Seahawks a legitimate threat opposite Tyler Lockett. He had eight touchdowns this season, and he led all rookies in receptions 20-plus yards downfield (including the postseason).


11. San Francisco 49ers

Why they're ranked here: Just based on pure impact players added, the 49ers would be higher up on this list, but they had the luxury of picking from the No. 2 slot. Pass-rusher Nick Bosa was PFF's defensive rookie of the year, and Deebo Samuel made a huge impact on their offense in his first year as a dynamic, after-the-catch weapon in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

How their top pick fared: Bosa (No. 2 overall) couldn't be blocked at times this season. His 80 quarterback pressures ranked sixth among all edge defenders, and they're the most by any rookie in the PFF era, dating back to 2006.

Best value pick: Linebacker Dre Greenlaw (No. 148 overall) might be remembered most for stopping Jacob Hollister on the goal line in Week 17, but he made those plays in coverage all season. His 83.6 passer rating allowed ranked fourth among linebackers with 50 or more targets.


12. Dallas Cowboys

Why they're ranked here: Like the Bears, Dallas was another team that got little contribution from its rookie class by volume. They Cowboys didn't have any player play over 200 offensive or defensive snaps, but they also didn't have a whole lot to work with in terms of draft picks. The limited contributions they got from later-round selections were enough to keep them near the middle of the pack.

How their top pick fared: Defensive tackle Trysten Hill (No. 58 overall) had a disappointing start to his career, playing only 121 snaps and generating three pressures in 66 pass-rushing snaps.

Best value pick: Running back Tony Pollard (No. 128 overall) made the most of his backup role to Ezekiel Elliott. He proved to be one of the more elusive backs in the NFL on a per-touch basis, forcing 26 missed tackles on 101 touches.


13. Oakland Raiders

Why they're ranked here: The Raiders had four selections inside the top 40 picks of the draft, and whenever that happens, a team is expected to come away with its fair share of talent. However, it took edge rusher Clelin Ferrell and cornerback Trayvon Mullen some time to hit their stride, and safety Johnathan Abram missed nearly the entire season with injury. That held the Raiders down this list despite strong debuts from running back Josh Jacobs (PFF's second-highest graded running back, though his value isn't as high because he was drafted in Round 1) and late-round picks Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfrow.

How their top pick fared: Ferrell (No. 4 overall) made big steps forward in the latter part of the season, improving his PFF grade from 50.4 (105th) prior to Week 12 to 82.3 (8th) over the remainder of the season.

Best value pick: Renfrow (No. 149 overall) had a solid debut season. There were three rookie wide receivers with more than 2 receiving yards per route run: A.J. Brown (2.67), Terry McLaurin (2.11) and Renfrow (2.01). He easily beat out his fifth-round value as a rookie.


14. Baltimore Ravens

Why they're ranked here: Surprise, surprise -- another rookie wide receiver who looks like he's going to be an impact player in this league. As the first receiver off the board, Marquise Brown was a dynamic playmaker (seven touchdown catches), and the Ravens also got strong play from an undrafted free agent in center Patrick Mekari that helps their cause.

How their top pick fared: Brown (No. 25 overall) dealt with injuries at times, but he was electric when targeted. No wide receiver with 50 or more targets had a higher passer rating when targeted than Brown's 134.4.

Best value pick: It's tough to expect a lot from rookie offensive linemen in general, much less undrafted rookie offensive linemen. That makes Mekari's overall PFF grade rank of 12th at center this season all the more impressive.


15. Minnesota Vikings

Why they're ranked here: Though first-round pick Garrett Bradbury had a rough rookie season -- he was constantly beaten by pass-rushers foaming at the mouth to get an opportunity against him -- the rest of the Vikings' class had some bright spots. Their next two selections -- tight end Irv Smith Jr. and running back Alexander Mattison -- both appeared capable of being starting-caliber players on a good offense.

How their top pick fared: Bradbury's (No. 18 overall) run-blocking grade of 61.9 was respectable, but he was a turnstile as a pass blocker. His 38.7 pass-blocking grade ranked last among qualifying centers.

Best value pick: Wide receiver Bisi Johnson (No. 247 overall) emerged as the third wide receiver for the Vikings, and he ended up playing more than 500 snaps on offense because of injuries to Adam Thielen. For a seventh-round pick, his 64.8 receiving grade with 31 catches and three touchdowns was respectable.


16. Cleveland Browns

Why they're ranked here: The only two Browns rookies to play more than 500 snaps both struggled in coverage. Cornerback Greedy Williams earned a PFF coverage grade of 53.6, while linebacker Mack Wilson picked up a coverage grade of 46.2. Several mid- and late-round picks balanced things out a bit with decent performances in smaller samples, though, getting them to 16th on the list.

How their top pick fared: Williams' (No. 46 overall) completion percentage allowed of 59.6% ranked fifth among qualifying rookie cornerbacks, but the fact that he forced only three incompletions and picked up a coverage grade of 53.6 indicates that was the product of some help from opposing quarterbacks and receivers.

Best value pick: Safety Sheldrick Redwine (No. 119 overall) didn't play any significant snaps until Week 11, but his performance in coverage (68.4 grade) is a promising sign for the fourth-round pick.


17. Detroit Lions

Why they're ranked here: It was a rough year for rookie tight ends, and top-10 pick T.J. Hockenson wasn't an exception. Jahlani Tavai and Will Harris both played big roles on the defense, while Ty Johnson and David Blough both filled roles on offense due to injury. None of their performances stuck out, however, landing the Lions' class firmly in the middle of the pack.

How their top pick fared: Hockenson (No. 8 overall) looked stellar in Week 1, catching six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. After that, though, he was one of just six tight ends to run at least 200 routes and record less than 1 yard per route run. He finished the season with only 32 catches and two touchdowns.

Best value pick: Cornerback Amani Oruwariye (No. 146 overall) didn't see the field until Week 11, but he produced several strong performances down the stretch on his way to a 75.3 PFF coverage grade.


18. Pittsburgh Steelers

Why they're ranked here: The Duck Hodges experiment was fun while it lasted, but in the end, he looked like an undrafted rookie quarterback out of the FCS (45.8 overall grade). Linebacker Devin Bush and wide receiver Diontae Johnson both look to have star potential, but they each have areas of their game to clean up in 2020.

How their top pick fared: The biggest strength for Bush (No. 10 overall) coming out of Michigan was his ability to get sideline to sideline and cover. That shone through in man coverage, as he picked up a 90.6 coverage grade in those concepts. He struggled adjusting to complex NFL zone schemes, though. Bush earned a 52.1 coverage grade against zone this season.

Best value pick: No rookie wide receiver caught more passes than Johnson's (No. 83 overall) 59, and he was a handful with the ball in his hands. His 18 broken tackles were tied for the most among all wide receivers.


19. Los Angeles Rams

Why they're ranked here: The Rams didn't have a first-round pick in 2019, and they won't in 2020 or 2021 after dealing for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. That meant their top pick came at the back end of the second round on safety Taylor Rapp (64.5 overall grade). There weren't any big whiffs in this class, but the Rams also didn't get outstanding returns from any late-round picks.

How their top pick fared: Rapp (No. 61 overall) earned a reputation as one of the best tacklers in college football in his time at Washington, and that was true again with the Rams. He was one of two safeties, along with Eric Weddle, to make 100 or more tackles and miss fewer than 10 tackles.

Best value pick: The Rams' offensive line was a disaster, but David Edwards (No. 169 overall) filled in admirably at right guard. The fifth-round pick's 64.4 overall grade ranked 12th at the position.


20. New York Jets

Why they're ranked here: The Jets' first three picks underwhelmed, to put it kindly. Neither defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (67.5 overall grade) nor offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (48.9) looked like impact starters as rookies, and pass-rusher Jachai Polite didn't even make the team out of training camp. The Jets were helped by the play of a few late-round selections and undrafted players, such as defensive end Kyle Phillips, who brought up their ranking.

How their top pick fared: Williams (No. 3 overall) looked like a can't-miss prospect coming out of Alabama after a truly dominant 2018 season. He held his own in run defense for the Jets but wasn't able to make that anticipated immediate impact as a pass rusher, earning a 57.8 pass-rushing grade for the season.

Best value pick: The play of cornerback Blessuan Austin (No. 196 overall) tailed off in his final three games, but his injection into the lineup in Week 10 brought some juice to the Jets' secondary. He picked up PFF overall grades of 75.0 in each of his first three games.


21. Denver Broncos

Why they're ranked here: It was an up-and-down start to quarterback Drew Lock's career as the starter for the Broncos. His play in games against the Texans and Lions gives reason for intrigue about his future, but games like the one he played against the Chiefs do the exact opposite. Much of the Broncos' class was that way, leaving the future of the group uncertain. Lock finished the season with seven touchdown passes and three interceptions in five games.

How their top pick fared: Tight end Noah Fant (No. 20 overall) had several solid performances down the stretch, but overall he failed to live up to his first-round billing with a 51.8 overall grade that ranked 61st out of 72 qualifying tight ends.

Best value pick: Guard Dalton Risner (No. 41 overall) had to adjust to his new position this season after playing primarily tackle at Kansas State. He handled the transition well, ranking as a top-20 left guard.


22. Buffalo Bills

Why they're ranked here: Neither defensive tackle Ed Oliver (64.0) nor offensive tackle Cody Ford (51.8) lived up to their draft position, and the value added by their two third-round selections -- running back Devin Singletary and tight end Dawson Knox -- wasn't enough to overcome those performances. The Bills will need those first two picks to take steps forward in 2020.

How their top pick fared: It was expected that Oliver (No. 9 overall) might take some time to become a polished pass-rusher, but he finished the season with a below-average PFF run-defense grade, as well. That's the area in which he dominated in college, so struggles there were disappointing to see.

Best value pick: Singletary (No. 96 overall) was a handful to tackle coming out of Florida Atlantic, and that remained the case in Buffalo. He averaged more than 3 rushing yards after contact per attempt and broke 42 tackles on the ground as a rookie.


23. Green Bay Packers

Why they're ranked here: The Packers hit on early draft picks in safety Darnell Savage and guard Elgton Jenkins -- both members of PFF's All-Rookie Team -- but that was about it. A subpar debut from their first pick, defensive end Rashan Gary, paired with no contributions from late-round selections puts them in this spot.

How their top pick fared: We were low on Gary (No. 12 overall) coming out of Michigan due to a lack of high-level pass rush production there, and that showed as a rookie. He picked up an overall grade of 55.7 in 253 defensive snaps.

Best value pick: Jenkins (No. 44 overall) was the best rookie guard in football. He was also a top-10 left guard with an overall grade of 69.2 that ranked ninth at the position.


24. Arizona Cardinals

Why they're ranked here: This class will all go down to what happens with the career of quarterback Kyler Murray. The talent is obviously there, and there were moments -- like the Week 5 win over the Bengals -- in which it came through in full. Murray was simply too inconsistent. The biggest reason the Cardinals fell to 24th is the lack of production from other high draft picks such as cornerback Byron Murphy, defensive lineman Zach Allen and wide receivers Andy Isabella and Hakeem Butler.

How their top pick fared: Murray (No. 1 overall) flashed a dynamic skill set but a lack of consistency and a couple of dud games kept him ranked 25th out of 32 quarterbacks in our grading.

Best value pick: Despite playing primarily free safety -- after playing a lot in the slot and box in his final two seasons at Washington State -- Jalen Thompson (fifth round in the supplemental draft) recorded an above-average coverage grade of 70.3, which ranked 34th out of 94 qualifying safeties.


25. Philadelphia Eagles

Why they're ranked here: The Eagles drafted two players in the first two rounds (offensive tackle Andre Dillard and wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside) who added negative wins above replacement values. That isn't great. Arcega-Whiteside was especially disappointing, earning targets on a higher percentage of his routes than only Andre Patton of the Chargers. All the opportunity was there to take advantage of a larger role with the offense's injuries, but it never materialized.

How their top pick fared: Dillard (No. 22 overall) was limited to reserve work when Jason Peters or Lane Johnson went down because of injury, and that was a good thing for Carson Wentz based on how he graded. He allowed a pressure rate of 14.7%, higher than any other tackle in the NFL.

Best value pick: Running back Miles Sanders (No. 53 overall) still has some work to do as a runner, but he has already shown that he can be a positive in the passing game out of the backfield. He led a depleted Eagles' roster with 165 receiving yards on passes 20 or more yards downfield.


26. Los Angeles Chargers

Why they're ranked here: The Chargers' first two picks -- defensive tackle Jerry Tillery and safety Nasir Adderley -- didn't make a big impact. Tillery was more of a liability than a strength in his 354 defensive snaps, particularly in run defense, and Adderley was hampered by injuries that limited him to only 10 snaps on defense.

How their top pick fared: Tillery (No. 28 overall) was one of the biggest disappointments of the season, earning a PFF grade of 34.0 that was dead last among interior defenders by a wide margin.

Best value pick: For a fourth-round pick, linebacker Drue Tranquill's (No. 130 overall) early returns are promising. He produced overall grades above 60.0 in run defense, as a tackler and in coverage across 382 snaps.


27. New England Patriots

Why they're ranked here: More than anything else this season, the Patriots needed playmakers who could separate and provide open targets for Tom Brady. N'Keal Harry was the second wide receiver drafted, but he wasn't one of the many impact rookies at the position, nor did he show that he could consistently separate when he was on the field. That miss -- at least in his first year -- alongside a lack of other impact players put this Patriots' class near the bottom of the list.

How their top pick fared: Harry (No. 32 overall) spent more than half his rookie season on injured reserve recovering from an ankle injury. When he returned, he recorded less than 1 receiving yard per route run, one of the lowest marks on the team. He finished the season with 12 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

Best value pick: In a limited role, Chase Winovich (No. 77 overall) played well; he had a 72.5 overall grade that ranked 32nd among 108 qualifying edge defenders.


28. Miami Dolphins

Why they're ranked here: The ragtag roster that the Dolphins threw out onto the field saw 21 different rookies play at some point, but that group for the most part didn't consist of players who have a career as NFL starters. With four picks in the first two rounds of the 2020 draft, they have the ammo to get more production from their next class.

How their top pick fared: Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins (No. 13 overall) didn't have a bad season by any means (64.4 overall grade), but he also didn't produce like the dominant interior defender we saw in 2018 at Clemson, when he had six sacks and 15 total tackles for loss.

Best value pick: Up until his injury in Week 9, undrafted wide receiver Preston Williams was leading all Dolphins' wide receivers in receptions (32) and receiving yards (428). He flashed his contested catch ability over that stretch with 10 receptions on 21 contested targets.


29. Atlanta Falcons

Why they're ranked here: The Falcons aggressively attacked the offensive line in the draft with two first-round picks coming in as reinforcements; those picks didn't quite pan out. Kaleb McGary led all right tackles in sacks allowed (13) and hits allowed (13), and guard Chris Lindstrom was able to play in only five games this season because of injury.

How their top pick fared: A foot injury cut short Lindstrom's (No. 14) campaign, but he was solid in the limited action he did see. He ranked 10th among 40 qualifying right guards in PFF overall grade, serving as a bright spot on a shaky Atlanta offensive line.

Best value pick: N/A


30. Houston Texans

Why they're ranked here: The Texans' didn't have a ton of rookies take the field, but the ones who did all struggled in some capacity, particularly cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. His 36.0 overall grade ranked last among qualifying cornerbacks, and his 128.9 passer rating allowed was second-worst among cornerbacks with 50 or more targets.

How their top pick fared: There is still room to grow for offensive lineman Tytus Howard (No. 23 overall), but he looked like a starting-caliber right tackle in his time there. His overall grade of 63.4 ranked 23rd out of 38 qualifiers at right tackle.

Best value pick: N/A


31. Carolina Panthers

Why they're ranked here: Outside of pass-rusher Brian Burns' promising start to the season, there isn't a whole lot to get excited about with Carolina's 2019 class. Offensive tackles Greg Little and Dennis Daley recorded overall grades under 60.0, and third-round pick Will Grier (zero touchdown passes, four interceptions) did not look like their long-term answer at quarterback.

How their top pick fared: Burns' (No. 16 overall) hot start to the season got slowed by a midseason hand/wrist injury, but his pressure rate of 11.3% still ranked 55th among 112 qualifying edge defenders. He finished the season with 7.5 sacks.

Best value pick: N/A


32. Cincinnati Bengals

Why they're ranked here: Things were ugly for Cincinnati's 2019 draft class. All five players who played at least 150 offensive or defensive snaps earned wins above replacement values below zero, but none of the selections were a bigger disaster than Ryan Finley in his stint at starter. The fourth-round pick's 29.3 overall grade rivaled only Grier's for the lowest of any quarterback in 2019.

How their top pick fared: Offensive tackle Jonah Williams (No. 11 overall) missed the season because of a shoulder injury, but he'll probably step in as an immediate upgrade in 2020 given the state of the Bengals' offensive line in 2019.

Best value pick: N/A
