The Oakland Cathedral

Most Impressive/Disappointing Rookies

19 posts in this topic

Who has shocked you? Who looks like a star? Who looks like they might have been over drafted?
I'd say Barkevious Mingo looks pretty damn good. Also, Gio Bernard. Cincy got a steal when they grabbed Bernard.

Kiko Alonso is playing phenomenal right now.

Justin Hunter doesn't have a ton of receptions yet, but he is making big plays.

 

Hunter will be a very good receiver in future years. He has it all. Just needs to add strength to his frame, and become a bit more precise in his routes, and he'll have it.

Bobert Woods

 

 

Elam has impressed (:P)

Brown has had a huge impact. Regardless of lack of playing time, his absence is being felt\

Alonso

Ansah(or however you say his name)

Eric Reid has looked good

Travis Fredrick has looked ok

 

 

Werner has disappointed everyone though

Robert Woods has been the best rookie WR. Bernard has also impressed.

On defense Kenny Vaccaro has been a difference maker. Kiko Alonso, Ziggy Ansah, Mingo, and Jordan have all impressed as well.

I must beg to differ a bit. My man Hopkins is proving to be schaubs go to guy when the game is on the line and 2 minute situations. He has come up big when needed. Won them a game they were dead to rights finished in. Granted he has Johnson on the other side but this kid can get even better.

On defense I would add Jarvis jones on the defensive side who has played quite well for the steelers.

Hopkins has been good, but I think Woods just looks like a better player. He is faster and much more of a deep threat. He is also playing on a much worse team with a rookie QB.

 

Jarvis Jones has been dissappointing as I expected. He is decent in run defense, but offers little pass-rush.

Luke Joeckel has been disappointing so far.

 

The same thing could be said for Fisher and Johnson.

Larry Warford, my top guard in the draft as some may recall, is absolutely killing it in Detroit. Wish we got him...

Good call

Wish I have seen more of other teams rookies but Eric Reid has impressed me the most and has shown the most flash plays. He really attacks ball carriers like a missile out there. Of the very strong S group this year I would have to say he is topping it.

 

Kiko Alonso just ripped us apart. Alec Ogletree has looked decent out there--I am just waiting for him to get a gamechanging play or two.

 

I have Caleb Sturgis on many of my fantasy teams and he is doing pretty solid
