Rookies
 

This is not the year rookies will have an impact like Davis, Johnson or Boldin. Still, here are my picks:

Offensive Rookie of the Year: Robert Gallery

Defensive Rookie of the Year: DeAngelo Hall

Best Rookie WR: Larry Fitzgerald

Best Rookie RB: Steven Jackson

Other Surprise Off. Player: Philip Rivers (surprising because he\'ll start and not suck too badly)

Best Rookie CB: DeAngelo Hall

Best Rookie DL: Tommie Harris

Other Surprise Def. Player: Teddy Lehman

First Round Bust Offense: Lee Evans (or Eli cause he won\'t play much. But does that make him a bust? Are you comfortable calling Carson Palmer a bust yet? Looking back at this draft in 10 years I doubt we\'ll call Eli a bust, but looking at 2004 alone ...)

First Round Bust Defense: 1. Will Smith 2. Chris Gamble
