How 2014 rookie draft picks are doing so far

[Wood]

Zach Martin - brutal in camp so far. Hitting people on 1st and 2nd levels. Looks even better than Tyron Smith did in his first TC. Let that sink in.

Demarcus Lawrence - was playing decent before foot injury.

Anthony Hitchens - can hit but is not ready for prime time as starter.

Devin Street - advanced routes for rookie combined with initial burst you want to see. Deep WR core for Dallas.

Ben Gardner - shoulder injury on first day on contact.

Will Smith - groin injury

Ahmad Dixon - limited snaps

Ken Bishop - limited snaps

Terrance Mitchell - cagey CB who makes up for lack of speed with instincts and is very physical. Upside is 3rd CB which is extremely valuable in NFL right now. Could bump Webb or Sterling Moore for spot.

 

[Fredd]

so, basically, based on your assessment (and an accurate one), then we have Martin so far and a little Street

 

[waving monkey]

though not drafted Coleman appears to be a player

This is what you got from that?

He'll have trouble bumping Claiborne out of the #3 CB position.

The Martin pick just looks better and better, especially in light of the well-publicized struggles of a certain undersized rookie qb playing in Cleveland.

When I saw the look of disappointment on Jerry's face when cooler heads prevailed and the team selected Martin instead of his true love, I knew the team had made the right selection.

I like what I'm hearing and seeing from Mitchell. I liked this pick and thought at the time he was a steal in the 7th. Thought he would have went higher.
But he is exactly what we need in being a physical CB. We need players with an attitude, if your face type.

Good chance Claiborne is gone soon.

5 days and we can see finally see some in action. FINALLY!

I would add Mitchell...he looks very competitive.

I think he was speaking generically in that he could eventually become a 3rd CB.

Somebody that's at camp said that he's not ready, but they're certain that he's a future starter.

Devin Street - advanced routes for rookie combined with initial burst you want to see. Deep WR core for Dallas.

Ben Gardner - shoulder injury on first day on contact.
Will Smith - groin injury
Very unfortunate injuries. I thought both would push for the last DE and last LB spot.

Ahmad Dixon - limited snaps
I've barely seen any reports about him.

Ken Bishop - limited snaps
Limited reports, but all of the ones I've seen have been good.

Terrance Mitchell - cagey CB who makes up for lack of speed with instincts and is very physical. Upside is 3rd CB which is extremely valuable in NFL right now. Could bump Webb or Sterling Moore for spot.
He is willing his way onto the roster. I'm concerned that he will be a penalty machine. He's shown up on Special Teams also.

Disagree, I think it's Carr who will be gone soon. Claiborne supposedly is one of the best-looking guys in camp thus far

Mo isn't going anywhere. Carr - who knows.

Cleveland had 20,000 fans for their scrimmage today. Just sayin'

And look, they're still Cleveland.

Just saying.

By soon, you must mean next off season. No way he gets cut

 

[CCBoy]

Figures, after all these years, Cleveland fans forgot what football looked like...we haven't.

great post....my bro in law is a domer and we talked about Martin the other night. He said the kid is dynamite. So far so good.

The last time I checked they play at PIT week one. I don't care if 40,000 fans showed up for todays practice they are still going to get handled in that game at start the season 0-1.
