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.

Sorenson unfortunately. Hopefully Murray takes over for him by November.

Could be Akers, really.

That secondary is just chaos right now.

Anything could happen.

KeiVarae Russel has been an enigma.

DJ White is what KeiVarae Russel was suppose to be.

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.
And Ehinger appears 'ready' to be the weak spot on our line while Tyreek Hill appears 'ready' to be the 4th WR.

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.

What do you expect out of a rookie class though? I mean, you'd like to see Russell show a little more, but for the most part, I'd say it's been a good showing

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

Just saying. We're below league average at WR, CB and LG.

why do you say that?

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.

Coaches certainly look like they are planning on playing Ehringer anyway.

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.

Hard to believe we'd expose a 3rd or possibly 4th rounder to getting swiped off the practice squad. But it was a weird draft, in that typically a team isn't looking for mid round volume when they have a pretty deep roster.

No we are not. That is crazy talk. Below league average would mean basically bottom 10 at those positions. Those positions may indeed be weak points, but even they are league average. Start with WR. JMac is a legit number 1. That alone puts us above a lot of teams. Conley, Streater and Hill all flashed enough to be league average for 2,3, and 4 WR. Move on to CB. Marcus Peters is a top 10 CB in the league and DROY. He puts us at average or above by himself. Granted there isn't much behind him, but that can be said for most teams. Very few have 2 or more elite CB. Now if you had said that the depth is below league average, I might have entertained that notion until Gaines proves he can step up. But as a whole, they are not below average. LG. Hmm. Ehinger is a rookie that needs to bulk up. But OL is generally weak across the league. I'm not sure that even with his inexperience that I would rank Ehinger bottom 10. I son't believe the staff does either or he wouldn't be starting game 1. That being said, I would definitely like to see improvement there. And with thee young guys we have at those positions, we may just see that improvement sooner rather than later.So calm down, and stop overreacting.

No, no and no.

We're bad or unproven at all of those positions.

Yeah and we will probably only lose 1 big time player this offseason in Poe/Berry. With a likely 10 picks next year and tradeable comp picks it would be a good year to move up in the first and get a player they love. This teams depth is ridiculous
