Out of the first round picks who do you guys think will develop into ROTY?

My team's player.

So true. Fuck the Eagles and their Pac-12 team.
That's a real man right there. Grits and newspaper strips.
What's a first round pick?
Not Trent Richardson.
In the Saints offense, I could see Cooks having a huge rookie year.
why does he have to be from the first round?
Sophomore of the year!!
Thanks, man. Nick Foles is primed for another great season.

Hopefully he can beat a playoff team this year.
Such a savage and useless comment
:')
It's only Nick's third season in the NFL. Give him a chance.
Foles ain't no Matthew Stafford that's all I have to say. Nick is at the NovaCare Center studying film and working out, trying to get better.
Nick didn't spend his offseason building up Sonic Rewards points, playing Call of Duty like Matthew Stafford.
Watch this video and tell me that this kid doesn't care.

Went out to this lounge on Saturday for my birthday...drank a lot....still feeling it....I'm too old for that stuff.
I think if the Steelers don't find the guy in camp, that they'll address cb in free agency, ala Mike Mitchell. ODB was the pick, though. #StillSalty

Sounds like a pretty good deal for the Niners to me.
I wanted him.Yup
We have a ton of running backs now.
Wonder how we will try and use all of them.
Probably poorly.

Shazier makes me wonder what this team would have looked like had it not been for Spence's freak injury. Shazier is obviously Tomlin doubling down on speed like Spence.
How do we properly use 2 or possible 3 good running backs?
Are we going to use a 2 back system?
They get knock'd the fuck out by Mosley then next man up

Yeah. Bell's carries were limited last season. Bell will get used between the 20's, Blount on short yardage, late, and on the Goal line. Think Chicago Bears they way they used Forte and Michael Bush.
Dri Archer, not sure. Pounding Rainey between the tackles did not work at all. Will probably see more screens and swing passes to him, like they used Mewelde Moore back in the day.
I feel like a back and line needs carries to get in that rhythm. I never liked just putting in the fatter back when you got close to the goal line.
At least it has not seemed to have worked for us lately.
I would rather we get more creative and find a way to use the possible talent we have in the backfield by using more than one back at a time. This of course requires coaching but something a little more creative than what we have been doing.
You know what the scary part is, Lemonier and Tank will sit, same with Borland, because they're blocked by other players. Insane depth.
Far and away at this point, the most talented team in that division, if not the league. No excuses this year, they have to bring it home.

We had shit talent. System will work much better with Blount than it did Redman or Dwyer.
Dri Archer will also get WR snaps assuredly. They want to Sproles him.
Fun Fact - Archer threw up the bench press 20 times - more than some D linemen at the combine (*cough* Michael Sam *cough*)

How do you restore something you never had it in the first place?
santorum is what I would call the Lions quality of play.

Mech I'm glad you got another D-linemen, but what about your secondary! :-O?
Now featuring the newly added Donte Moncrief, basically an upgraded DHB who is a little slower than DHB but can catch (kinda)! '6'2' and 220lbs of potential!
This guy is a huge body catcher, and doesn't always secure the ball well after the catch. His route running outside of some simple routes is nothing impressive. But hey, that's what learning is for!
Luck is awkward lol.
He is a big part of it, yes. But at the same time, we have an improving receiver core and just drafted a RB. Losing him will hurt, but will be better for the team overall with his salary being as high as it is.

This is actually a really good question.
