Ryan Kerrigan is a monster out there. I live in DC and see all the skins game. I believe he has 3 sacks, a int, 3 batted passes, and a touchdown.

I'm feeling reaaaal good about my DROY pick earlier this year.

bump for discussion

Smith has 5.5 sacks now, miller has 5

Still a long way to go but what other rookies are making a splash?

Aldon Smith -11 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 1 ff
Ryan Kerrigan - 22 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 ff, 1 TD
Von Miller - 18 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 ff

I don't think anyone else is in the discussion right now, are they?

I still think it will be Von Miller. He will have monster stats, even though his team is going to stink it up for the rest of the year.

Aldon will come in second or third, but the Niners will be in the playoffs.

Kerrigan is a good call as a sleeper pick.

Smith keeps playing like he did today and he will have a shot

hmmm, wonder who will win this poll on 49erswebzone.com.

It will be a shock if Smith doesn't win by a 3-1 margin on any rookie in this poll.

Correct, if he keeps his production consistent, it will be a shock if he doesn't win defensive player of the year let alone defensive rookie of the year.

Looks like the frontrunners after Week 10 of this year are now, through this week's game:
1) Miller
2) Watt
3) Kerrigan
4) Peterson/Aldon Smith
6) Brooks Reed

Miller had another monster game, as did Kerrigan. Watt had three tackles for loss, another half sack, and Houston's defense is sensational. Peterson is beginning to make strides on defense, while Aldon Smith's relatively quiet game slides him down a bit.
