How are those rookies looking?

Recommended Posts

This Packers draft class has potential to be franchise changing.

Musgrave and Kraft are the best rookie TE duo since Gronk/Hernandez 

Reed has 10 TDs as a rookie and is electric with the ball in his hands

Wicks looks like a young Davante 

Karl Brooks was a steal in the 6th round and looks the part rushing the passer 

 

If Van Ness continues on a Gary like progression, this draft class has chance to go down as an all time great.

Puka Nacua and Kobie Turner have far exceeded expectations. Who would have predicted a 5th round receiver would be on the verge of setting a rookie record? As for Turner, I figured Aaron Donald was lightning in a bottle as far as undersized DT's go, but Turner has performed as well (if not better) than Donald while getting double teamed at a higher rate.

You’re expecting us to believe Kobie Turner is being doubled-teamed more than Aaron Donald?

Stop it.

RB Jahmyr Gibbs: 55 yards TD away from 1,000 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs on the season. He’s 15th in the league in rushing yards, despite missing 2 games. leads the lead in 20+ yard carries. 1st alternate at RB for the pro bowl. Not bad for RB2 behind Montgomery. A+

LB Jack Campbell: 95 tackles, 5 TFL, 2 sack, 1 PD and played extremely well down the stretch including when Anzalone was out and he took over the green dot. He’s played out of his natural position most of the season, because of Anzalone, but he’s adapted and IMO will be a better linebacker down the road for it. He still has things to learn but I love his skill set, mentality and work ethic. He’s going to be a leader on this defense. B

TE Sam LaPorta: 🐐111 yards away from 1,000 yds/10TDs on the season. Got the all-time TE rookie reception record. His blocking, outside of the Dallas game, has been phenomenal. He fights through contact with or without the ball. He runs very good routes. He just does everything at a high level. He’s a top 5 TE as a rookie and pro bowler. A+

NB Brian Branch: 74 tackles, 7 TFL, 1 sack, 13 PD, 3 INT, 1 pick-6 on Mahomes in Arrowhead, 1 FF. Guy just does it all. He’s a football player. He makes big plays. Top 5 in DROY odds on FanDuel, BetMGM, DraftKings, etc. He won’t win it, but he been a beast! A-

QB Hendon Hooker: Spent the year on IR as expected. Will be the primary backup QB with Bridgewater retiring.  INC

DT Brodric Martin: Brodric has only played in 3 games at a position we’ve needed help at. We knew he was raw coming in but he has not contributed to this point. D

OL Colby Sorsdal: Played in 15 games, 3 game starts when the Lions were playing musical chairs with OL injuries. Also plays ST. Lions have had the #1/#2 OL all season and Sorsdal contributed to that. Not much more you can ask of a 5th rd rookie OL. If he can get his body right and work on his hand placement, he might be able to take over a G spot down the line. B-

WR Antoine Green: Played in 8 games, as predominantly a ST guy. Best case scenario for him was always going to be 8th best receiving option behind guys like ARSB, Jamo, LaPorta, Gibbs, etc. Might get an expanded role next season depending on what happens with Josh Reynolds. C

 

The draft class that most people had bottom five in the league, if not the worst draft ever, might just end up being the best draft of the year.

You expect us to believe that? Use common sense. The stat (compiled by ESPN, presented by Seth Walder) will have an error. A 3rd round rookie (and many of the others ahead of Aaron) will not have a higher double team rate than Donald. Stop it.

1) QB Bryce Young - YIKES. Team will need to do a lot to give him a chance to improve

2) WR Jonathan Mingo - Horrible, just bad all-around

3) LB DJ Johnson - Over-drafted, did nothing

4) G Chandler Zavala - He was so bad at the start of the season and hasn't started since.  Never should have been starting anyway.  Hopefully he can develop into decent depth but I wouldn't be surprised if he got cut

5) S Jammie Robinson - 64 snaps all season, wouldn't be a surprise if he wasn't on the team next year

So first you deny it then you whine about the evidence when provided with it.

Yawn

Not going to entertain the belief that a 3rd round rookie is double-teamed more than Aaron Donald.
