Now look at the rookie season for Damarious Randall.

Alexander being out has accelerated the development of Stokes. Now, with a few games under his belt, he looks legit. How much did you hear of WR Tyler Lockett last week (and Lockett had 4.33 timed speed) ?

I'm not sure how accurate my next observation is, but I don't see Stokes repeatedly making the same errors either (which is why he is looking better as the season progresses). He was not as ready 'out-of-the-box' as Alexander was, but he isn't at all slow-developing, either. No boxing gloves required.

Is it just me or is Stokes playing at a Defensive Rookie of the Year level?

Even seeing his athletic gifts I wouldn't have expected this level of play this year.

Sadly.  It is a one horse race and that horse is Micah Parsons.  That dude is pretty amazing.  His change of direction when going full speed is something that you just don't see too often.

Him playing like he is should not take away what is a very, very good rookie season so far from Stokes.  He's been very good.  I'm not sure that he isn't the best corner to come out of that draft right now.  And his ceiling is scary good.

Most of what we ever hear about in terms of rookie CB's from the media is about Surtain and the rookie DB from the Cowboys.  Stokes is quietly having a nice rookie year.  That's just fine by me.  Surtain does look good.  The Cowboys got themselves a ball hawk who gives as well as he receives.  To each their own.

Stokes has had a really nice rookie season, but I want to say the jury is still out as to how good he can be.  Definitely looks like a good #2 corner, but he's been schooled a bit by some top receivers.  A couple knocks .. terrible hands, and he's a bit sketchy playing the ball in the air.  I'd give him a solid B for his performance this year .. he's a good player.  If he can short up those weaknesses the sky is the limit.

Honestly , I have zero concerns with Stokes. I think he can compete vs anyone. Him and Jaire together are going to be nasty . And if we get Z back with the pass rush…

Diggs isn't a rookie.  He's year two or three.  I can't remember, other than I like him coming out.  

I haven't seen Surtain, I can't comment about him.

But I sure am happy to have Stokes!
