Assessment on our rookies

Yes I know another useless post by bigbenhotness(ravens fan according to dar lol) but im stuck at my wifes work, on her day off, on her due date... lol.

Anyways, I am not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the know hows in football but I do know my fair share. So I would like a fair objective review on our draft picks and how they are developing. I would also like to know if you think they have great potential and if they were the right pick for this team.


Artie Burns, Sean Davis, Hargrave, etc ( I know feeney and hawkins dont count)

 

and it's our 5 year anniversary! lol

 

I like that with Burns and Davis they ate giving them playing time and allowing them to earn their spots on the field. There have been challenges but they have risen to meet those challenges and haven't proven to be whipping boys like Blake was last season.

Hargrave has also continued to improve, I'm interested to see how he does with Cam out and a potential move to DE. I think things are starting to click for him and he could be a disruptive force in the middle that takes the pressure off the edge rushers and forces the QB back much like the scheme that worked well for the Broncos last season.

Dirty Red, I'd like to see him get some snaps in with the injury to Shazier but only so he can start getting a feel for the speed of the pro game.

 

I agree about dirty red. I want to see more of him. I really think our first 3 picks will be fine

 

so far so good

 

Artie is progressing faster than many of us thought he would. By seasons end.. he should have at least some of the fundementals and principles down.


Sean will now get better considering he now only has to learn a position he played in college. Consistency will yield success.


Javon has yielded the greatest impact in my opinion. Yes, Vince Williams 25 tackle total over a two week span is impressive.. but do not believe that Javon did not play a major factor as to why he was so successful.


Jerald would have rounded it out had he played in Marcus Gilbert's absence and did well. Problem is.. we will never know that due to the fact that he is injured.



All in all... this class has been very good thus far.

 

Happy anniversary. Good luck with the due date thing.
