rock8591 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 You can tell it's the offseason... Aside from the fact that there are obvious inexperience, chemistry, and coaching issues... Would an all-rookie team from the past 2017 draft stand a chance at making or winning the Super Bowl? I can see this as a possible hypothetical lineup. QB: Mitch Trubisky, Patrick Mahomes RB: Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey TE: OJ Howard, Evan Engram, Adam Shaheen WR: Corey Davis, Mike Williams, John Ross T: Garrett Boles, Cam Robinson T: Ryan Ramczyk G: Forrest Lamp G: Dion Dawkins, Dan Feeney C: Ethan Pocic DE: Myles Garrett, Soloman Thomas DT: Malik McDowell, Jonathan Adams OLB: Haason Reddick, Tyus Bowser MLB: Reuben Foster, Jarrad Davis OLB: Zach Cunningham CB: Marshon Lattimore, Marlon Humphrey, Gareon Conley S: Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker, Jabrill Peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 QB is a major problem here. I would give them 5 wins because there is a ton of promising talent on that Roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock8591 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 What about combining the Colts and the Browns? Gawd, that team is totally devoid of talent.

Seriously. Haden and Vontae would be a good starting CB tandem. Bitonio and Zeitler would upgrade both guard spots, Joe Thomas would upgrade either tackle position, and we'd have a STRONG starting OL for a change. Jamie Collins would be our best LB. Corey Coleman is good young prospect at WR. Duke Johnson is a good change back. Ogbah is a good Rush prospect. And I'm leaving out all the rookies, including Myles Garrett, one of the best prospects in a long time. Combine the Colts and the Browns and you might have the best roster in the league, with lots of young talent to cultivate and a good stable of vets to lead the way.

ReMeDy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It's o-line, in general, that would struggle the most. They'd have lack of cohesion, possibly undersize (or overweight), all of them entering into a new playbook of protection schemes, new QB audibles, the noise of sold out NFL stadiums drowning out their QB's voice (esp. during the Superbowl), and they'd have no veteran leadership. Not even Peyton Manning could make that unit gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Not only wouldn't they win a Super Bowl, they wouldn't make the playoffs. They'd likely struggle to win 8 games. There's no short-cut for experience. Not even great talent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballhero1 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 No. Some of those players are going to be underwhelming or outright busts. And the majority of them are going to need time to get acclimated to the NFL's level of speed. There are some positions that just take awhile to develop, the secondary would have a very hard time. Then to win it they need to go up against much more experienced teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizwor Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 No chance. They are young, inexperienced, and not full grown. A lot of the kids would run out of gas towards the end of the season. But I'd watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luck 4 president Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Call me crazy but I think they'd have a decent chance with a whole season under their belt. Maybe not necessarily that team, but if you removed the busts and replaced them with sleepers they could have a chance. If you look at last year's all rookie team they have a lot of talent. This year's draft was considered more talented by most people. The biggest question is QB but there were questions with Wentz and nobody foresaw Dak's success so you never know.

I was too young to remember much of it. Those games were a very dumb idea when you consider future pro players getting stomped by old pros risking the rookies' chance of being healthy to play pro ball in the future.

Valpo2004 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'd be worried about QB and the OL there. The defense would probably be one of the better NFL defenses with some experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
