Soko Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) 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.

Forge Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 *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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Was there really anything surprising this year? It seems like there haven't been very many shocking revelations about any of this draft class since the moment they were drafted. Maybe Darnold's struggles, but anyone could have foreseen this given the poop they have on that roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

minutemancl Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 No joke, that may be the best OL in the NFL. It helps that I'm higher on Braden Smith and Mcglinchey than a lot of people. Damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Leighton Vander Esch is why the Cowboys are 8-5 instead of 5-8. Every year the worst hamstrings in the NFL let that D down and then the LBs fall apart. Vander Esch has actually been a better player than Sean Lee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
