Rookie Results

I know it's preseason but I find it fun to look at guys many of us wanted to draft and see if we were on target or not.

Thoughts??

Most of them are playing like crap as usual. The QBS are the surprise of the 1st round

Here are the non 1st rounders if you want it: https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-non-first-round-rookie-review-preseason-week-2

To answer your question, here is how I'm feeling early.

Some players I had higher than others and looking good so far: Marlon Mack; Nazair Jones; Derek Barnett.

Ones where my evaluation is greatly letting me down: Shelton Gibson; KD Cannon; Desmond King (shouldn't have under-estimated him); Devonte Fields (where are you??)

Devonte Fields is in Canada. We're u negative about King?

Eddie Jackson S Bears
- he is doing well by all accounts

The CB group is not doing as well as I projected and the RB group is meh compared to my draft hype

My top corner Tredavious White is doing very well in Buffalo.

I googled a while back and didn't see where Devonte went. Good to see he has a chance to prove he can be responsible and make an impact.

I had Desmond King 118 on my board. From early indications he is playing close to a 2nd rounder (which several people had him pegged as). I thought he had good instincts but too slow and "grabby." Apparently, those instincts are translating well to Safety.

All I care is about the offensive players so I know who to keep an eye on in FF.

King was tough to really get a good beat on this year. His sophomore tape he was the best corner in college football. His Junior tape he was a non factor. When I was watching him I just kept putting on his sophomore tape and held out hope he would be that player.

2 guys on offense that I liked are both hurt, Mike Williams and Corey Davis

2 Guys I liked on defense played well so far, Charles Harris and TJ Watt.

I looked more into this. Apparently he was cut from the CFL. He must be terrible or pretty darn crazy.

I really thought he could possibly make an NFL practice squad off his TCU tape alone. So much for that evaluation.

Sad story he can't get his s**t together. I agree his talent was fringe first round even in a loaded pass rush draft. Unfortunately something isn't right with him and now he will be working construction and years from now will hate himself for wasting a golden opportunity on whatever he's doing...

Coach Dirk Koetter indicated fifth-round RB Jeremy McNichols is a long shot for the Bucs' final 53.
"He's gonna get one final chance to show what he can do," said Koetter, before he added McNichols "is making too many mistakes on offense." Koetter said as far back as the Bucs' post-draft press conference that McNichols wouldn't be assured a spot on the team. McNichols proceeded to miss the entire spring following shoulder surgery. He has been buried throughout camp, and got benched after missing a blitz pickup in the Bucs' third preseason game.

Charles Harris.

I always thought he'd end up at least as good as Solomon Thomas.

So did I.

I think we definitely got the best out of that move.
