NFL All-Rookie Team

Recommended Posts

Who do you think should be on the NFL’s all-rookie offense and defense? It’s a bit eary yet with 3 games and the playoffs left, but why not. Try to keep guys at their positions, with a little flexibility. 

QB: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold.

RB: Saquon Barkley, Phillip Lindsay, Nick Chubb.

WR: Calvin Ridley, DJ Moore, Courtland Sutton, Christian Kirk.

TE: Dallas Goedert

LT: Mike McGlinchey

LG: Quenton Nelson

C: James Daniels

RH: Will Hernandez

RT: Braden Smith

 

LE: Marcus Davenport

DT: Da’Ron Payne

DT: Maurice Hurst

RE: Bradley Chubb

WLB: Darius Leonard

MLB: Roquan Smith

SLB: Leighton Vander Esch

CB1: Denzel Ward, Donte Jackson

NCB: Minkah Fitzpatrick

FS: Justin Reid, Jessie Bates

SS: Derwin James

CB2: Jaire Alexander

 

Lots of top-end talent here. Was forced to move Daniels in because I haven’t really seen/heard of any of the standout rookie centers (Ragnow? Price?). McGlinchey goes left, Hernandez goes right. I like 4-3 defenses and think LVE is a better fit at strong side than Leonard. Minkah probably should be a full time CB or full time S but I love Reid/Jaire.

Actually a reasonably strong team.

*obligatory comment about nick chubb not having a single sack this year to justify his place on the team at defensive end*

The off the ball linebacker spot was really solid this year. Fred Warner has been a starter day one and took the playcalling duties over for Foster before the season began, and I can't even argue his exclusion there.

On the positive side, Leonard, I think. I didn't expect him to play this well out of the gate. I know a lot of people felt like he may have been overdrafted at the time. 

Offensively, I agree, not a ton of shocking things. Darnold probably has the most surprising result as a QB I agree, Josh Allen has been the epitome Josh Allen-ey. Barkley is a baller. TE / WR corps has been okay, not great. McG has been probably better than most people expected, but I Think most thought he was going to be largely fine, particularly in the run game.

Do you mean top end or in general? Because I loved Phillip Lindsay and thought he'd be denvers main rb this year. But he's even played better than my expectations and most gms. Got to think he'd be a top 60 player in a redraft.

Happy to see Justin Reid getting love - he's been a playmaker out for the Texans, just making a ton of plays back there.

He reminds me of Budda Baker last season - not a shocker that both played with/were mentored by Tyrann Mathieu.
