How Are Those Rookies Doing?

[animaltested]

Week 4 update:

1. LB Jordyn Brooks - Started week 3, sprained his knee. So yeah....

2. DE Darrell Taylor - [PUP]

3. G Damien Lewis - Has been graded one of the the better run blockers in the NFL thus far. Hurt his knee against the Cowboys, missed the rest of the game. Not too serious, though.

4. TE Colby Parkinson - [PUP]

4. RB Deejay Dallas -  healthy scratch. Could see action this week if Chris Carson is held out.

5. DE Alton Robinson - Finally saw the field, and FLASHED big time. Got his first sack of the season.

6. WR Freddie Swan - Has a catch in every game thus far. Him and David Moore have really been time sharing the #3 WR snaps.

7. TE Stephen Sullivan - Practice Squad ; Protected.

[Chiefer]

Round 1) CEH - He’s been a perfect fit for the offense like everybody thought. Maybe not an all-star but he does just enough in the run game and is a great pass catcher. Like a glove.

Round 2) Willie Gay - Got some snaps against the Ravens at Will and looked decent from all accounts.

Round 3) Lucas Niang - COVID call out. Was probably redshirting anyways.

Round 4) L’Jairius Sneed - was a starting corner and our best rookie, then broke his collarbone diving for an interception. IRd and out at least a month.

Round 5) Mike Danna - getting solid snaps at DE due to all the injuries. Doing very well with them.

Round 7) Bopete Keyes - game day inactive, might just be active after the Sneed injury.

UDFA - Tersahwn Wharton - local kid gaining some solid snaps in the DL rotation. Not bad either 

[Tetsujin]

1 -5)   QB - Tua Tagovailoa - Bama...who knows when he'll start. I'm fine with not seeing him in 2020.

1-18)  OT - Austin Jackson - SoCal...playing very well. Not as raw as anticipated

1-30) CB - Noah Igbinoghene - Auburn...been hit or miss. Rookie stuff. Looks promising tho

2-39) OG - Robert Hunt - Louisiana...Should be the RT of the near future or next season. Lines up in heavy formations.

2-56) DL - Raekwon Davis - Bama...Disappointing

3-70) SS - Brandon Jones- Texas...Playing well and getting a lot of PT.

4-111) OG - Solomon Kindley - UGA...Starting RG. Playing well.

5-154) DE - Jason Strowbridge - UNC...Not making the gameday roster

5-164) ED - Curtis Weaver - Boise St...waived before Week One.

6-185) LS - Blake Ferguson - LSU...He's our LS.

7-246) WR/QB/HB - Malcolm Perry - Navy...Not making the gameday roster. A project.

• Round 1, Pick No. 14: Javon Kinlaw DT has showed great power and has looked good during the games. I was expecting him to be more RAW but already best DT on the team.
• Round 1, Pick No. 25: Brandon Aiyuk WR man you can see he has potential WR1 in him. He Finally had a game where he was a big part of the offense. Can't wait to see him with Kittle and Deebo back possibly this weekend.
• Round 6, Pick No. 190: Charlie Woerner has really not played much but what he has played his blocking hasn't been impressive.
• Round 7, Pick No. 217: Jauan Jennings on PS not much to report.

justin jefferson was finally made a starter last week and responded  with 175 yards and a TD, making PFF's all-week 3 team. today he put up 103 yards on 4 catches (5 targets). 

not sure what his PFF grade will be from today's game but it was 85.3 heading into today which is top 10 in the league.

so yeah, he's off to a great start and already looks super impressive all around. route running, adjusting to the ball, contested catches, after the catch, etc. it's obviously only four games but he's already put up 16/348/1 so he's on pace for 64/1,536/4. there'll be regression as his efficiency numbers are off the charts but he should get more targets and is almost a lock to crack 1,000 yards barring injury. i don't expect him to get more than 5 touchdowns regardless, as the vikings have shown they love handing it off to cook in the red zone and if they're throwing it's likely thielen or rudolph on the receiving end.

 

other than jefferson's hot start it's pretty much just the two corners (gladney and dantzler) who have played a lot of snaps so far, shown some flashes but overall struggled. everyone else is getting limited snaps or inactive on game day.

Tristan Wirfs is a boss. Held his own against Cam Jordan. Held his own against Brian Burns. Held his own against Bradley Chubb. Held his own against Joey Bosa. I think he only has two false starts and no holding penalties.

Antione Winfield Jr. has had a good start as well. Won DRotM. Had a rough game against the Chargers. But makes plays and is always around the ball.

Everyone else is mostly buried on the depth chart.

[Blackstar12]

Not bad for undrafted rookie.

 

Surprising considering he's coming off a acl injury late last December.

[Blackstar12]

Pittman Jr is dealing with a rare calf injury. Jonathan Taylor is 14th in rushing at 250 yards and 2tds.

Clyde may not be Pro Bowl yet, but you definitely see the Brian Westbrook comparisons. 
Gay is learning a a very different system, almost a new position. He's going to be a good one with some experience. 
Sneed and Danna make this draft a success even without anything from the first three rounds. They are that good.
Wharton is a bit of a mutant. Unbelievable athleticism for a guy his size. Had he gone to a Div 1A school, definitely a top 100 ranking. 
Tommy Townsend set a team record with a 60.4 yard average punt on Monday.

I'm kind of mad. The Falcons were gonna take Kinlaw in the 1st had he been available. Would have made a huge difference.

[SBLIII]

Round 2 - Dugger solid, TE eraser

Round 2 - Uche IR

Round 3 - Jennings solid

Round 3 - Asiati not much used more for blocking so far

Round 3 - Keene injured

Round 5 Rohrwasser PS

Round 6 Herron swing OT very decent

Round 6 Onwenu. World beater.

Round 6 Maluia no stats

Round 7 Woodward retired

It's kind of hit and miss so far. Uche and Keene better show up soon. The 6th round offensive linemen are very good though.

Laviska Shenault and James Robinson are damn good.

I still can't believe the eagles didn't take him.
