Bucky Brooks: 2018 All Rookie Team

2018 All-Rookie Team: Josh Rosen, Bradley Chubb will thrive

After intensely studying all of the top prospects leading up to the 2018 NFL Draft, I'll admit to having a little football withdrawal at the moment. The draft has been in the books for almost two weeks, but it's never too early to project which players will emerge as stars on their new teams. While everyone expects first-round picks to make an immediate impact based on their exceptional talent, there are plenty of players drafted outside of the first round who also make their mark as rookies.
 
With that in mind, here's an early look at my All-Rookie Team for the 2018 season:
 
Linebacker: Tremaine Edmunds, Buffalo Bills (Round 1, No. 16). Sean McDermott needed to find an athletic, blue-collar player on the second level. Edmunds fits the bill as a versatile defender with a no-nonsense attitude and an NFL-ready game.

Saquon Barkley, Roquan Smith top list of 32 NFL rookies who'll make an instant impact

Tremaine Edmunds, LB: Behind a bolstered defensive front with new pieces Star Lotulelei, Trent Murphy and Harrison Phillips -- the latter could've been the "instant impact" pick -- along with steady veterans like Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes, Edmunds is going to spend much of his time roaming free at the second level, a scary proposition for opposing offenses. At nearly 6-foot-5 and 250-plus pounds, the former Virginia Tech star absolutely flies to the football and has the length and athleticism to cover out of the backfield. He's in line for the starting middle linebacker gig next to Matt Milano, another fine athlete who quietly turned in an impressive rookie campaign a season ago.

Sam might tear an ACL getting out of his car

Agree Bradford is made of glass.. But Rosen is also injury proned to an extent. Might be seeing Cardinals 3rd stringer before long lol

Josh Rosen for QB rook? seems the Cardinals are going to pay Sam Bradford 20mm to sit on the bench?

Between the two of them they'll cost around 15 million against the cap this year which is around the average for a starting QB.  Cardinals can cut Bradford and save 20 million (5 million in dead cap) in 2019 if Rosen takes over.  Just an example of why the first five years of a QB is arguably the best window a team has to win a championship.

That dude has made an insane amount of money for doing nothing at the NFL level.

 

It's criminal.

But Glennon started the year and was benched because he was terrible.  

If Bradford plays terribly, Rosen will go in.  Or since it's Bradford, he gets injured.

 

But the Jets paid Teddy and McCown as well... Teams took out insurance policies, including the Cards. If Rosen wins the job, he wins the job. Out of all the rooks, he has the best chance. That's about as far as it needs to be discussed imo.

Whats crazy about Glennon is he was paid 18.5 million, for what, something like four starts?!?

 

That aside, I absolutely could see Edmunds having a monster rookie season, just as easily as I could see him taking some time to get the mental elements of the NFL down.
