The 2008 Rookies Thread | Page 9 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Like the thread we had last season use this one to discuss the league's 2008 rookies and track their progress. Kwame Harris Jr...oops I mean Gosder Cherilus (who wears the same number as Kwame) had a brilliant debut to his career with 1 holding and 2 false start penalties. Browns TE Martin Rucker looked pretty good catching 5 balls for 70 yards including a 28 yarder. Pats rookie LB Shawn Crable recorded half a sack and a INT. (He also had 3 tackles)

At least he gives us these small opportunities or relief; the TD incident and now the muffed punt. Which is going to possibly **** it up for my fantasy D.

I'm an ASU grad. Class of '05.

He was passed on because of his height. I hate the way drafts are conducted in all sports. Size is always given way too much weight. Being a play maker is always the most important quality and DeSean Jackson is definitely a play maker.

His size was a factor but his attitude and off the field "issues" scared alot of teams away from him.

Call me crazy but I'd put up with a couple jerks on the roster to field a team like the Cowboys as opposed to all the nice guys we have who fvcking suck.

Most wrs have the attitude problem. As for the off the field issues, he never got arrested, never ran into trouble with the law.

desean jackson certainly is looking good....

matt ryan has been steady if not spectacular

chris horton with the skins has 3 interceptions and at least 1 fumble recovery---who had him on their pick list last april?
