This years rookie class looks ready
 
I remember Andy Reid and Terez Paylor saying early on in OTAs that this rookie class is way ahead of the curve and how they might be the most "ready" rookie class Reid has had. I was very impressed with them ALL when I was at practice and the preseason games have done nothing to change that notion.

This is a VERY strange class in that I really think almost everybody contributes right away.

Chris Jones - looks like an immediate difference making player

KeiVarae Russel - probably would be in competition for starting spot if he signed on time.

Parker Ehinger - day 1 starter at LG

Eric Murray - sub package "starter"

Demarcus Robinson - hasn't came on yet.

Kevin Hogan - development QB

Tyreek Hil - will be the day 1 punt returner and I think he starts the year as the #3 WR.

DJ White - has played well in PS and might carve out a role that gets him playing time.

Dadi Nichols - undeniable talent in this kid. Has a chance to be pretty good once he adds a little weight. Should be used as pass rush specialist while Houston is out. Just flies around the field and has natural pass rush talent.


I know it's early, but this rookie class has a good chance to be pretty damn special.

I agree looks like a successful draft glass.Was hoping Russel would look a little better than he has so far.Hope your right that he just needs more time

He missed all of the first 4 defensive installations.

He's still behind the 8ball, but has starter talent.

Depends on your definition of Ready.

Chris Jones,Parker Ehinger and Tyreek Hill are the only 3 'ready' imo

KeiVarae Russel barely 'ready' for preseason/scrub play

Eric Murray looking very rough

Demarcus Robinson will he even make the regular roster?

Kevin Hogan another guy who is doubtful to make the regular roster

DJ White - shown flashes but very inconsistent (normal for rookie)

Dadi Nichols - shown some real skill but coaching staff doesn't seem to be pushing his development. :(

There's Laz, trying to clown on Gibbs...one of the best LB coaches in the league.

R Clark 08-29-2016 09:59 AM

To have three come in and start is about as good as it gets.

We're not really loaded at those positions though.

Dadi Nicolas played well with the 2's on Saturday against Chicago's first team offense.

There's a chance that he could be a contributor this year but I look for him to break out big time next year.

He gets it.

Parker Ehinger - day 1 starter at LG

Eric Murray - sub package "starter" -will make the team.

Demarcus Robinson - hasn't came on yet. Practice squad.

Kevin Hogan - development QB Pratice squad.

Tyreek Hil - will be the day 1 punt returner and I think he starts the year as the #3 WR. Day 1 starter.

DJ White - has played well in PS and might carve out a role that gets him playing time. Will make the team.

Dadi Nichols - undeniable talent in this kid. Has a chance to be pretty good once he adds a little weight. Should be used as pass rush specialist while Houston is out. Just flies around the field and has natural pass rush talent.
Practice Squad.

Pretty descent draft - could be several Home Runs and lots of future talent.

Could be the next Mike Maslowski except faster-and hopefully no injuries. The Maz was undrafted and was a hard hitter with a nose for the ball.

Demarcus Robinson, KeiVarae Russell and DJ White won't do anything this year outside of ST's IMO. I really want Nicolas to get some obvious passing down snaps if Ford struggles, but idk if he will.

Murray will probably strictly be a box safety who stuffs he run for the first half of the season until he feels comfortable, but the other 3 should play a lot.

Direckshun 08-29-2016 02:11 PM

It's early, but I'd say Demarcus Robinson could be a potential cut. He just looks slow and isn't getting separation.

I still think Russell has a chance, but they're almost certainly going to give him the Steven Nelson treatment this year.

What's our dime package at this point? He may play dime, which is like 50% of the snaps in our D.

Peters
Gaines
Nelson
Berry
Parker
Sorenson? White? Murray?
