Predict the 2016 OROY and DROY

[Kirby Jackson]

It's funny that Pitt went CB anyways after Jackson was taken right in front of them. Burns is really raw... Seemed like a reach/need to me.

Apparently they had them close but Jackson was their guy. They weren't happy.

[LOVEMESOMEBILLS]

I went with Elliott and Ragland. I think Elliott will have a lot of success behind that line in Dallas. If the line plays as well as I think it will, here in Buffalo, Ragland will be running free to make plays.

[Mr. WEO]

Elliot because none of the others will likely have as many touches. (I assume you were joking throwing Tunsil in there).

 

Lawson more likely on D.

If Dallas is smart they will not #feedzeke this year but rather use a RBBC. He should be used on 3rd downs and other passing situations IMO unless they they think one of the other two are better blockers, which i doubt. But I do think he should split carries considering rookies can a hit a wall with so many more games than they play in college. That said, I'm not sure they will have that luxury due to the high expectations as well as you can't depend on the whole RB stable to stay healthy.

[Coach Tuesday]

I don't know where to put this. A lot of you know that one of my best friends is Kevin Colbert's nephew. He was telling me that the Steelers were furious that the Bengals took William Jackson in front of them. He was their guy.

 

It's not really pertinent but I try to share when I have something.

 

I've heard the same thing from Steelers fans. Plus they heavily scouted all of the top corner prospects and sprinted to the podium when their pick was up. They were locked in on a corner, hell or high water. Not a good look for an organization that is usually much more disciplined on draft day. Berns is a bit of a reach if you ask me...

 

In any event here is a dark horse OROY: Sterling Shepard of the Giants. DROY will be Bosa.

I got Elliott and Ramsey. Elliott is going behind the best OL in the NFL. Look for 1,300+ on the ground and 10+ TD's. Jax is gonna get after the QB this year and create plenty of ops for Jalen to get it done on defense.

@joshnorris

Bovada's rookie of the year odds:

 

Jared Goff 2/1

Ezekiel Elliott 5/2

Derrick Henry 7/1

Corey Coleman 15/2

Josh Doctson 12/1

Treadwell 12/1

 

Oops forgot Henry in the poll too along with leaving off Coleman

 

@dpbrugler

Some interesting regular season over/under bets (via Brovada)

 

RB Elliott rush yards: 900

RB Elliott total TDs: 7.5

DE Bosa total sacks: 5.5

I love Zeke at 5/2 and over 900 yards. That feels like stealing to me.

[Canadian Bills Fan]

I have a feeling Bosa is going to tear it up this year and win the DROY

This is why I went Treadwell as OROY and Ragland DROY

Im not sure if Elliot is gonna split time or start but im pretty sure hell split time. Vikings have no WR the caliber of Treadwell so he is an instant start and Bridgewater will be better this year then last so hes gonna get more balls then a pool haul.

went with Ragland on blind homerism. Laugh if you will but they already said hes starting, and after this draft im back on the koolaid. Who wants a cup?

i did the same. thought about joseph though

[CommonCents]

It's basically betting on a guys ability to stay healthy which is pretty unpredictable as a RB. Last year Marshawn, Charles, McCoy, Lacy, Forsett, Miller, Forte, Bell, Anderson, and Murray were all under 900 yards. Most of those guys listed were picked in the first two rounds of fantasy leagues.

[Marty McFly]

i did the same. thought about joseph though

Its not a bad thought, 7 interceptions will give him rookie of the year like the Chiefs CB last year. 100 + tackles and a couple sacks will give it to Ragland or Myles depending who has more stats between the two of them, NFL network asked who makes a bigger impact this season Ragland or Shaq, it was a split decision between the talking heads.

[KRT88]

Can we see who actually makes it through training camps before we do this crap?

Where is the fun in that ?

after training camp we will rehash all this again !

I agree the smart thing to do would be to ease in Zeke splitting time with McFadden n them to let him get used to NFL game speed, the playbook, and nasty hits hes gonna take by NFL caliber beastly LBs.

All these guys are 1st and 2nd round picks, do you really think theyre gonna get cut? Or you mean bc of TC and Pre-Season INjury?

[LeGOATski]

Zeke and Ramsey.

 

They have good supporting casts to help them out.

 

I could definitely see Ragland getting it too, because he's a good fit... Depends on how the W-L column shakes out, I guess.

[Kirby Jackson]

I'm not trying to lobby here but I'm really surprised that there are only 2 of us on Joseph. You win this award with big numbers (see Marcus Peters). Joseph is a playmaking safety playing behind a great pass rush. I'd be surprised if he didn't lead rookies in INTs. He has the best ball skills AND landed in the best spot of anyone. As an example Ramsey has 3 career INTs (Joseph had 5 last year and 9 career). Ramsey is great but the numbers win these awards not skill set.

 

A case could certainly be made for Jack who I think is Luke Kuechley 2.0. A pass rusher could have a big impact as well. It's just tough for me to go against the guy that has the skill set and opportunity to win these awards.
