Which rookie are you eager to see?

[oldunclemark]

The off-season has been way too long.  I want to see the exhibitions to get a look at the new rookies...

My first interest.: Christian McCaffrey

 

I know that every No.1 draft choice is all-pro and they all play the game 'the right way'

.....but reports from Carolina say that this boy is hard to tackle in the open field

 

Cam may not play in the pre-season but 'Mac' will.  He's always been 'that guy'.  Anxious to see if its real

Fournette. I think hes gonna be very good. Has a chance to be the next AP IMO.

[oldunclemark]

Denver has 2...a defensive end..DeMarcus Walker...a really good pass rusher

 

..and a WR...Carlos Henderson.........much needed speed and open field running

I agree with Mark, McCaffrey has me intrigued and he's with Cam now. That guy may be unstoppable. For us it's Mack and Hooker of course.

I should have said.....other than Colts guys..

I'm looking for ward to a seeing all the Colts rookies...especially on defense.

 

I am intrigued by Mitch Trubisky..I think it was a mistake to draft him...but I want to see him anyway...

he's played so little nobody really knows

 

[RockThatBlue]

Two more I'll add are Deshaun Watson and DeShone Kizer. Think both will probably start some point this season for their teams. Kizer is very interesting to me because of his ND days. He was up and down but he is very talented.

I heard earlier today that Mitch is 3rd string. Not good for someone drafted so high IMO.

[Colts_Fan12]

Fournette can't wait to see him this year! Marathon Lattimore Jarred Davis and Hasson Reddick. Most of all our very own Malik Hooker.

He's behind Mark Sanchez?

 

You're right...not a ringing endorsement...

Bears are a cluster fruck

[oldunclemark]

Jonothan Allen, DE  for Washington.....slid to 17th....but I don't think he should have

I was listening to a sports show earlier and that's what they said. 

 

Its still early of course and Mitch may turn out great, but the Bears gave up an awful lot for a guy who is 3rd string right now. That's a bad look.

You cant be playing Mark Sanchez a lot in the pre-season....Nobody wants to see that

.Trubisky's got to play..he needs to play...good or bad....they play Denver Thursday..Trubisky's got to play a half

I see them at 4-12. I have friends and relatives that are Bears fans and they are dreading the season.

I liked Allen a lot. He is who I was hoping the Colts would take at 15 originally. I'll definitely be watching how he pans out.

[oldunclemark]

I don't want to admit to watching the Browns

 

but Myles Garrett and Jabril Peppers...those boys could charge up that defense if they're as good as folks say

Garrett will be a stud IMO. Hes been beating up on Joe Thomas in practice I read the other day. And we all know how good Joe Thomas is.

[oldunclemark]

Browns and Jacksonville have to be better, dont they?

They just have to be?

..with all the players they've added....they cannot continue to live in the basement

 

 

 

 

can they?

I'm hoping for .500 and they rebuilt the secondary ..but LBs and pass rushers are questions

 

..and they start with Atlanta, Tampa, Pittsburgh and Green Bay, Minnesota and Baltimore.

That road goes nowhere

If they go 8-8 that would be a miracle. I say 4-12.

Jacks I have at 6-10 so they will be better. Some of these teams I can pick before the pre-season even starts. I will wait on us because I want to see what Andrew's status is.

[wig]

Adams, Davis and Reddick. 

 

I think Adams will shine on a bad D.

I will track all the big names. I am an Irish fan so I keep up with our players. Technically  he was a rookie last year but Jaylon Smith is the guy I most want to see. I will  watch him. Kizer will be easy to follow on SC. 

 

Onwuala and Cole both UDFA's from ND i was hoping we might look at. I'll keep. an eye out for them.

 

Then I will keep an eye on guys I was looking at for us  day 3. Guys like Johnson G Elder Kazee King CB's, Lawson Carraway OLB  McNichols Hop and Jones RB then Blair and Gedeon ILB. Those are names off the top of my head I thought Gedeon was a real sleeper on that Michigan D. 

 

Jaylon is the guy I want to see He didn't play in the HOF game 

[teganslaw]

Leonard Fournette. Will be interesting to see how he does since the team is high on him. 

 

Also, Jonathon Allen.

Do you think Jaylon Smith is OK and ready to play, ak..?

 

I dont understand why he didn't play in the Hall-of-Fame game.

I know they don't want to risk further injury but that risk has to be taken in the pre-season...

They need to see if he's the same player he was at ND...

 

I was very surprised he did not play

I don't follow the Cowboys that closely but Sean Lee said he looks great more importantly Jaylon said he feels 100%. Jerry said he is ready to use a 1st round pick on him. I also read a report saying his nerve was back to 80%. Rotoworld maybbe? 

 

I wasn't concerned about him not playing more disappointed.  They are doing it right taking it slow He hasn't played football in over a year.  I'm not sure how' many practices he's had in full pads. It can't be more than a couple. I'd think he's having mandatory days off the dreaded  pitch count etc. 

 

I think it's a good sign he didn't start on the PUP. There is no rush. He still has a month I'd use every day.  He needs contact in practice before playing in a game The Boys have 4 more preseason games. He wil need to get his feet wet before week 1.

 

I wouldn't expect to see a lot of him before the regular season. The preseason games aren't going to improve his health. He's. not fighting to make the roster.

 

Everything sounds good. The nerve is regenerating that was the biggest concern I thought. That being said I don't think we get the real Jaylon this season. He shows flashes, makes highlight  plays here and there.

 

I think if he can make through this year without any issues  next year he really tears it up.

Of course, I am looking forward to all my team's rookies, especially Dalvin Cook.

 

In addition, I am intersted to see:

 

Stanford players Solomon Thomas and Christian McCaffrey. 

Alvin Kamara

Evan Engram

Adoree Jackson

Deshaun Watson

Jabrill Peppers

Cooper Kupp

[Qwiz]

Garrett and Mixon. Of course Watson has Texans fans excited, but it seems the job is Tom Savage's to lose.

How so? What you've seen from Savage so far is a very small sample size.

He's better than Brock so I am worried. Maybe not much better but he is.

We could trot one of the cheerleaders out there and they would be better than Brock lol. But have you heard the news? He's starting the first preseason game in Cleveland. Maybe a career resurgence is in motion...

If I was picking an ALL AFC South team, Luck would be 1, JJ would be 2, after that who cares. That is a 2 man domination on each side.

I love that we get to see them facing each other twice a year. Throw JD in the mix too and it's even more fun.

Brock will probably give Cleveland some hope, maybe 6 wins? They will be partying in the street for weeks to come.

McCaffrey is going to be a stud IMO. Hes like a swiss army knife as an NFL player.

I got home too late to see McCaffrey play this evening. But I did see a lot of Deshaun Watson. I like the kid. He looks so poised. Yes, I know, it is preseason but he looks better than Brock did. 

 

Which Colts players are you most interested to see? I would like to see Tarell Basham.

Mack is a good player. On the Colts Forum Mock Draft earlier this year, I drafted him for the Vikings.
