How are those rookies doing?

Recommended Posts

DK Metcalf on pace to hit 1000 yards without running a single route.

LJ Collier and Marquis Blair are starting to work their way into their positional rotations.

Cody Barton, BKK, Travis Homer, Ugo Amadi all solid Special Teams players

Phil Haynes and Demarcus Christmas just came off the PUP today

Greg Jennings and John Ursua still healthy scratches.

RT Tytus Howard is out for the next 4-6 weeks with a partial MCL tear, but he looks like an everyday starter at RT going forward. Real surprise he's looked this good so early.

CB Lonnie Johnson looks like a rookie CB out there, he has a tendency to lose his responsibility in zone and can get beat by a savvy route runner. He's got some growing to do, but his athleticism

LG Max Scharping has been in the lineup since week 3, and he also looks like an everyday starter next to Tunsil. His run blocking lacks power and aggression at times, but his pass blocking is pretty much on point with him early. 

TE Kahale Warring is on IR, so nada. 

DE Charles Omenihu is a steal in the 5th round. He's getting consistent pressure and forcing fumbles on a consistent basis, and is actually grading out higher than JJ Watt per PFF. He's a find, will probably start opposite Watt in a few weeks.

CB Xavier Crawford hasn't done much, if anything. We might see him in the lineup soon with injuries to Jonathan Joseph and Bradley Roby. 

FB Cullen Gillaspia is starting to get more involved in the offense as a pass protector for Deshaun Watson; He's a pretty good ST body too, so he's looking solid for a 7th rounder.

Suffice to say, Brian Gaine's last draft class was pretty good.

I still don't understand why he fell that far.

Yeah he’s gonna be in prison for a while. And he has charges pending as well IIRC. No reason to rush to trial now. They know where to find him.

Bucs... ehhh

Devin white he was injured a few weeks but lead team in tackles vs Car.  Also got a on CMCs highlight reel when he was stiff armed on a td.

SMB has been ok hasn't played much.  He got paying time vs saints had an INT but also got abused by mike thomas.

Jamel dean hasn't played really was injured.

Mike Edward's has been pretty good so far looks good in the secondary dropped a couple ints though

Anthony Nelson has been alright hasn't had much playing time but has made a couple splash plays.

Matt gay has been good he has a cannon for a leg.  Missed a game winner vs. Giants but hasn't missed since while hitting a 58 and 54 yard fg.

Scotty Miller wr is meh they keep trying to get him involved had a nice end around in one game that's about it.

It's been a pretty avg draft class so far.
