Again, just because they started doesn’t mean they were good.
Biadasz was ranked the 33rd worst center out of 37. For comparison, the Gnats had a guy starting center who was an undrafted free agent IIRC, never played the position before this season and had a better rating than Tyler. It’s another classic case of over rating our own guys.
Gallimore had a PFF ranking of 52, that’s not good and he probably wouldn’t even be starting if it weren’t for injuries (same as Biadasz) which is why I think them starting is irrelevant.
Jury is still out on Diggs, he did ok for a rookie but also got burned on several plays. We’ll see how he does this year.
Lamb is a very good receiver but I think that pick could have been better spent elsewhere. We were already set at receiver, that wasn’t our problem.
Yeah they are ROOKIES. Not veterans so if you want to compare them to veterans than yeah they struggled. But let's get to the facts....
Tyler Biadicz had the highest grade of any rookie center this year. He's on the right track.
Yes, Gallimore had a 52 pff rating....Javon Kinlaw who was a 1st rounder has a 55 pff rating....Derrick Brown has a 60 pff rating....once again...right on track with fellow rookies and great value in comparison to those guys being he was a 3rd round pick.
AJ Terrell 60 pff rating
CJ Henderson 57 pff rating
Jeff Okudah 42 PFF rating
Damon Arnette 41 pff rating
Noah Igbinoghene 37 pff rating
Trevon Diggs 62 PFF rating
Lamb 71 PFF rating....very good rating for a rookie....far from the best rookie prospect but surely worthy of his 1st round status.
You are gauging these guys based on what veterans have done as opposed to where other rookies have done.
