We will find out a lot about these rookies in the next few games. It appears that we drafted well, but that remains to be seen. With that said this is a year that we'll be counting on our draft class early and often. Who concerns you the most and why??

Guyton
Kneeland
Beebee
Liafau
Carson

Please give your thoughts, I bet you have some!!

Liufau. With Overshown being Inury prone since college and Kendricks entering his 11th season and Damone not progressing as expected, he needs to get up to speed and stay healthy.

He's the pivotal player in the LB corp.....and that's concerning considering he's a 3rd round rookie who has never played a down in an NFL regular season game

Probably Guyton just because of the importance of the position, as well as having a rookie C. You can only give so many guys on the OL help on one play and Beebe is going to take a portion of that help. Guyton is going to be on an island often against some of the best edge players in the league. If he can adapt quick its a huge help for this offense, if not its going to force the Cowboys to play a lot of max protection.

Liafau will be rotational so you can pick and choose your battles with him. Same with Kneeland, you can put him in the best positions to succeed and semi hide his flaws as he adjusts. Carson is a solid candidate as an answer to the question, but you can also give him safety help over the top. Beebe is the other one that worries me a little bit as he has to adjust to life as a C, but I think being sandwiched between Smith and Martin is going to help quite a bit.

The rookies the Eagles drafted in their secondary. If they don't hit the ground running, we are winning the division again.

Well yeah. Or he wouldn't be a rookie.

My answers are for the short and long term. In the short term for the upcoming game Sunday, I would have to say Guyton because of having to face last year’s DPOY in Myles Garrett all day. Garrett has made some All Pros look bad.

I think Guyton will be a fine player in his career but facing Garrett in his first real NFL action will be a real challenge. In the long run I would say Caelen Carson just because being a rookie corner is always challenging. No knock on him but that is a tough position to learn as a rookie.

Guyton. Love what I have seen from him but we don't have anyone to step in if he isn't ready and if we have a crappy LT and Steele plays like he did last year we are in a lot of trouble.

He plays with a lot of energy etc, I just want him to keep it together, and not just be running out there wild and missing the ball carrier/WR that's all! I like him though, like him more when he has the hair out lol

Carson. They can give Guyton some help with RBs and TE. The other can be rotated out if necessary. If Beebe fails, Hoffman can adequately take his place.

Carson will be on an island.

Beebe. You can help a corner or an OT, but you can't do much to help a C if the game is too fast and he's missing or not understanding assignments.

I think he'll probably be fine, but that's my biggest concern.

Carson. How much will they pick on him. Will Zimmer roll a S over to give some help if needed.

Can our pass rush get to and contain Watson to help out the secondary.
