ET80 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 As far as for Texans - I've already used Zach Cunningham as a name worthy of note in another thread, but I'll echo it here. I'll put a bit more focus on the 2nd name I mentioned, DE Carlos Watkins. He was pressed into action following a torn triceps muscle ended Christian Covington's season, and he eventually found himself lining up at NT and DE in games. He was a slow starter, but towards the end of the season, you saw him beating single blocks, splitting the occasional double team and really crashing the pocket. With JJ Watt and Covington coming back, Wilkins has earned a shot at snaps vs Covington and might even get into a timeshare with Watt early on. Watkins has the tools and skill to be a pretty versatile guy on the Texans front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 John Ross will return from the dead and show the AFC North what’s what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKChief Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It has to be Pat Mahommes for the Chiefs or we’re in for a looooong season. but I’d also love KPass to step up and become a legit 2nd option to Houston off the edge. He’s got the tools so stranger things have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKChief Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 54 minutes ago, Broncofan said: Dalvin Cook hands down for O. Corey Davis at WR. It might be a year early but David Njoku at TE. I do think Mixon takes a big step forward but I think it pales to Cook’s potential in that O with such little competition. Walton and Bernard have a good chance to eat into Mixon’s ceiling. As a sleeper breakout I think Cooper Krupp has immense appeal in that O. I agree with Sydney Jones for CB but I also think Fabian Moreau and Gareon Conley should step up as part of that deep CB class. I’d say Reuben Foster but I don’t know that the breakout didn’t already happen as a top 5 ILB already. Conley is someone I think will be much much improved this year. I like jones but he seems to be the easy pick here. i do not rate Mixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Jonathan Allen, Montae Nicholson, and Fabian Moreau will be names to watch for the Redskins. Allen and Nicholson both looked like future stars when healthy last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Tyrod loves throwing to tight ends. I expect Njoku to feast. I’m also a believer in Johnathan Allen and I feel he will break out and have a monster year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Njoku will be an elite TE if Cleveland ever finds a QB worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 This question next year will have Isaiah Wynn as a safe answer with Duke Dawson and Sony Michel as potential stars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilenFroggen Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I hope to see some life out of Curtis Samuel this year. Not sure if STAR is the word, but definitely life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Mike Williams WR Corey Davis WR (If he plays 16 games he'll have over 1000 yards) Derek Barnett DE Ryan Ramczyk OT (He kinda already broke out as a rook, but by years end I think he'll be the consensus #2 RT in the NFL after Lane) Zay Jones WR (Assuming he remembered how to catch) Joe Mixon RB Sidney Jones CB Ahkello Witherspoon CB Raekwon McMillan LB Alex Anzalone LB Chad Williams WR Dede Westbrook WR Marlon Mack RB (I really like what the Colts did at OG in the draft, and so should Mack) George Kittle TE Jake Butt TE (Maybe not a star, but good) Blair Brown LB (Gonna be a beast) Corn Elder CB (Assuming he wins the starting slot cb role) Aaron Jones RB Both Chargers OG's Obviously a lot of these guys basically took RS rookie seasons.

He was very impressive for an undrafted rookie free agent last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very impressive for an undrafted rookie free agent last year. The hope is he's going to play both OLB and ILB. He really impressed in limited action at ILB, and he's got incredible athleticism to give Clowney and Mercilius some time off in game. He's also a pretty strong ST contributor, so he's gonna get plenty of opportunities to make plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 for the Ravens it'll be Marlon Humphrey. he should be the starter over Carr this season and be a household name soon, already impressed in the few games he started last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 For the Raiders all eyes are on Gareon Conley. If you remember, he was regarded as a top 15ish pick in last year's draft but the bogus allegations against him caused him to drop to the late 20s. Rookie season was marred by a weird shin injury (only played in 2 games) but when he played he looked the part. Big, leggy corner who can run. Around the league: Joe Mixon - Rookie year wasn't great but I just dont see how he doesn't become a good player. Dude is too gifted not to be good. Curtis Samuel - Explosive chesspiece player who can hurt you in alot of ways if used correctly. Forrest Lamp - See him as a guy who will be very good from the jump.

TitanSlim Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'm going to be a homer and say both our first rounders from last year. Corey Davis- Injury free. Full offseason with a healthy Mariota. Playing in (what should be) a legit offensive system. Saw glimpses of his talent throughout last season(especially the Pats game). All points to a potential breakout year. Adoree Jackson-Because of the great play of other rookie CBs(Lattimore and White), I think his rookie year got somewhat overlooked by some. Far exceeded many expectations for his rookie year. I think by last season's end, he was our best CB. Now with (what hopefully is) a strengthen defense and playing under a DB coach with a high reputation(former OSU DB coach Kerry Coombs), he could really become a household name to casual fans. I could see him mirroring Byard, in which he had 0 INTs his first season and is near the league leader in INTs in year 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
