Is Terrace Marshall the rookie most likely to succeed?

It is not unreasonable to propose that we have the potential to have the ROY on offense and defense.

Discuss.

Extremely unlikely. Hard to put up numbers for OROY in a class stacked with starting QB's(for better or worse) and also being maybe the 4th option on the team. Maybe he ends up being such an effective redzone weapon(lots of TD's) that he comes closer than expected. 

I think Horn is going to struggle a lot more in year one that people want to admit. It's rare to have an instant impact CB that plays at a very high level. It's more common to see them starting hitting their stride in seasons 2-4. Plus, getting those accolades at CB usually means a shitload of INT's. It's hard to fight through the LB's and pass rushers, as they are much more likely to rack up gaudy stats.

Top 3 picks: CB, WR, OT

OT and CB both seem to struggle often their first years in the pros.

Horn is going to get a lot more playing time.

Not if he is a flag magnet

I second this. When I was at camp, I was SHOCKED by how "handsy" he is. While being a press corner, that comes with the territory, there is a right and wrong time for that stuff, like within the first 5 yards lol. That HAS to get better.

Considering that corners rarely win DROY, it will be a long shot for Jaycee. And with TMJ, same draft class as Trevor Lawrence, so another up hill battle.

But you're right, it's certainly not an unreasonable proposition.  Just unlikely at face value.

typically, yes. but this was a QB/WR draft class. No elite DE that typically get the ROY as long as they get 6 sacks. every other position is overshadowed because ROY is awarded to box scores.

And he is shining again this year. The kid has a real shot this year.

 

None of that makes one bit of difference in regards to Marshall Jr. That kid is special. He may not beat all those dinky azz QBs. BUT the kid is going to be good, real good.

That Terrace is so hot right now…

I swear every pre season we hear about how great a WR looks in camp and they end up sucking and sometimes not even making the team. I remember as far back as hearing Walter Young getting praise in 2003. 
 

I do think Marshall has potential to be great but I don’t think he will put up big numbers this year considering he will be the # 3 WR at best and we have Darnold at QB who is a question mark. Maybe DJ Moore or Anderson gets injured and he becomes the #2 while Darnold has a great year. That’s one way he could have a great season. However right now we don’t know if David Moore will beat him for the #3 WR spot. David Moore can make big plays and has lots of nfl experience. So chances are he could be the #4 WR this season behind David Moore.

You are correct. There are multiple players ahead of Terrace. So his targets won't be as plentiful. However, Sam needs a safety net. And right now, we don't know who that is. THAT WR is going to get his. Everybody else is fighting for table scraps.

 

The two players with the biggest catch radius? Arnold, and Terrace. If I had to guess, it won't be Arnold.

 

So...ipso facto. Marshall is the man.

A little surprised Nixon hasn't stood out a little bit more. He was one I thought that had "diamond in the rough" potential early. 

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Horn is holding, that was something that he apparently was known for in college. I suspect he is gonna struggle with that all season while he tries to break old habits. Also, it's rare for rookie CB's to be stellar, so I am not gonna get all over him unless he still has the same bad habits in year 3, 4, etc.

So not much to write home about Hubbard either? How about our LS battle?

Defensive backs is probably one of the most difficult positions to transition from college to the NFL.  He's a stud and will be a mainstay on our defense for a long time but his rookie year might be a learning lesson for him.

Marshall has Moore and Anderson to take the pressure off him.  Our WR Corps could be the best we have had in years (decades).  This IMO is why Marshall will be our best draft pick in 2021.

However, I do believe that many of our picks will see significant playing time and 2021 will become our best draft ever.

Rhule did mention Daviyyon Nixon as being impressive so far.

So we should expect him not to survive camp cuts? 

Got it.
