Rookie of the Year

Re: Rookie of the Year
It hasn't been too often Payton's Saints had a good draft, but so far five draft picks started (e.g. Lattimore, Ramczyk, Williams, Anzalone) or played significant time (e.g. Kamara)...
And we haven't seen Hendrickson at full force yet! Or given Al and opportunity yet... Staying healthy will be a key aspect of this 2017 draft class with some having serious pre-draft health questions (i.e. Lattiomore, Ramczyk, Anzalone)... Second Guessing, Criticism of the Draft? Anzalone is already lost for the season with the same shoulder that limited him the entire time he was at Florida... Wait for it (Cue the LSU Fight Song) LSU linebacker Kendell Beckwith was still on the board and looks great for the Bucs... Also, Oakland DT Eddie Vanderdoes starting and would have been great to shore up our defensive interior line was available... Payton still reaching - we gave up a second round pick in an expected loaded draft in 2017 for Aalvin Kamara, who's in a loaded backfield... Later in the third round, KC took a kid named Kareem Hunt who's leading the NFL Rookie of the year candidates... We're getting much better in the draft and Kamara has looked great, but Payton has to be stopped from reaching in drafts... Despite the unnecessary reach, the draft class looks to be one of the best in the last ten years for not only the Saints, but the entire NFL... |
Re: Rookie of the Year
I am looking at FA as a chance to redraft 2014 lol
Brandin Cooks, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Khairi Fortt, Vinnie Sunseri, Ronald Powell |

Beckham would've cost us too much to move up to get; I loved Cooks, but he cost us too much in that draft to move to No. 20; if anything, we've learned we need 6'3" receivers in for our offense to conclude business in the red zone - pass What's interesting is that the third round pick we traded to the Chiefs for Cooks turned into WR Conley and the next pick was Trai Turner to the Panthers; again the Payton costs success with his moves up the draft... Ego has two sacks in three years - pass... Jeremy Hill is a piece of scheit who, among other things, sucker-punched someone; that's a coward - pass... I'll give you that Jarvis Landry would've been head and shoulders a better pick than Stanley Jean-Baptiste, but so would nearly 100 players drafted after or not drafted at all, including Allen Robinson, two picks before Landry... My concern is this year's draft; am holding my breath that Lattimore is passed his injuries; but I keep seeing these PFF posts that Tre White is rated better than Lattimore, now that is one the LSU WETSU's might end up with one helluva beef with SP... |
Re: Rookie of the Year
Wonder how well Fournette would be behind our line
|
Re: Rookie of the Year
Odell's not going to be a contributor now....oh well. This is the Giant's season to give a miss anyway.

I never judge rookies, for the most part till their rookie contracts are up.
then redraft through FA to correct your mistakes. |

Re: Rookie of the Year
Ram should be on the list. What a rookie contributor! I played half-back and linebacker and love the skill positions but Ram is the real deal. If he doesn't get injured - I'll call it now - Hall of Fame.
|
Re: Rookie of the Year
Well, let's let Ramczyk play at least 12 seasons for us at a high level before putting him in the HOF...
Kamara is getting alot of the rookie buzz... Don't know how Lattimore continues under the radar, but I'm glad we have him, healthy... And the guy who really has flown under the radar is Marcus Williams - we finally have a Free Safety!!! |

Re: Rookie of the Year
Not only do we have a chance at ROY but we have several options to get there.

Meh. There are the popularity contests and then there are all the other players who are just as good but aren't as pretty or play for less glamorous teams. Kind of like the pro bowl. The only meaningful award has the name Lombardi on it.
|
Re: Rookie of the Year
Unfortunately, for offensive Kamara sits behind Watson, Fournette, Hunt as it stands. Hunt I don't think wins it, and if Watson takes Houston to the playoffs, it's his.

Re: Rookie of the Year
Le'el Collins was projected 1st round. Went undrafted. Charges were dropped.
Dallas picked him up for minimum salary. Now he's a starter on their on-line. All we had to do was sign the guy. |

I still say the NFL dropped the ball and that whole deal should have been investigated for fraud and collusion... A smart GM would have dropped a late rounder on him just to leverage Dallas and get something out of them... |
Re: Rookie of the Year
Do they know when they are drafting players. They are supposed to draft player that would make the Saints a better team.
Round 1 — (12) Giants – Odell Beckham Jr., WR Round 2 — (51) Bears – Ego Ferguson, DT Round 2 — (55) Bengals – Jeremy Hill, RB Round 2 — (63) Dolphins (from Broncos through 49ers) – Jarvis Landry, WR Round 3 — (92) Panthers – Trai Turner, OG Round 5 — (156) Broncos (From Bears) – Lamin Barrow, OLB Round 6 — (178) Titans (From Redskins) – Zach Mettenberger, QB Round 6 — (181) Texans (From Raiders) – Alfred Blue, RB Round 7 — (239) Bengals – James Wright, WR Like these guys. |
Re: Rookie of the Year
I don't get the Ego Ferguson table banging; he's not really had an impact nor production thus far in the league...
And Jeremy Hill's already been replaced in Cincy... Landry and Turner are the only two that interested me that we had an honest chance to pick... |

Re: Rookie of the Year
Kareem is falling fast. Watson is out. LF can't get on the field. If I had to choose long range Kamara. If he keeps up his pace he will pass everyone.

With Hunt falling back, starting to see some separation at the top of the PFF Rookie Grades...

Re: Rookie of the Year
D*mn, just look at those names - wow, amazing times that the Saints may already have a top 5 CB (e.g. Peterson, Rhodes, Peters, Norman)...

Re: Rookie of the Year
Hands down it's Marlatti or Almara

Could Kamara make it two in a row for Offensive Rookie of the Week?
It's eerie that you hardly hear Lattimore's name, guess no one wants to throw into the Marsh? Tell you another rookie defender who needs more snaps is Trey Hendrickson... |
