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'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 a fair amount of potential here but coming off last season's class where Peters and Morse were immediately studs, I'd say the bar is raised a little higher than where BossChief has placed it.

I would rather play Fulton myself I think Hill is going to return kicks and work his way into a DaT role. I was trying to be positive. Apparently not positive enough for BossChief, but i was trying.

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

If they were thinking that Dadi would be ready this year wouldn't they play him with the 1's etc? There's a lot we don't know, maybe Dadi isn't absorbing the entire playbook are something. Always looking for something to fight about. ![]()

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

And? It's tough to make a squad coming off 3 straight winning seasons.

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. |
