26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 2018 NFL rookie rankings: Darius Leonard on top at quarter mark With the 2018 regular season at the quarter mark, former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah has reviewed his notes from the first four weeks to rank the top 25 rookies in the league today. Heading into Week 5, it's time to update my rookie rankings. This list will continue to change throughout the season, as we see more rookies given increased roles for their respective teams. I had a very difficult time sorting out the top three players on this list. They were each productive, impactful difference-makers during the first four games of the season. NOTE: Arrows reflect changes from the preseason rookie rankings.

John from Riverside Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I would worry more if one of them WAS on the list because this guy is a idiot 1

jahnyc Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Entirely subjective, but I don't think I would put Edmunds in the top 25. Allen definitely would not.
Boatdrinks Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 30 minutes ago, BBills88 said: Why do we care. It’s relevant on a Bills message board. Our current FO invested major picks in this years rookies. They seem to have a penchant for paying multiple picks for specific players rather than taking best available with a single pick. Beane and McD may overrate themselves as talent evaluators. Their rebuild strategy of jettisoning talent from previous regimes places outsize importance on their ability to evaluate and draft players. These types of lists may give an indication of how this overhaul is going. 1 1
Augie Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I tend to like DJ, but this doesn’t bother me in the least after just 4 games. A rookie QB and a MLB who just turned 20. Whatever. In a decade, I’ll feel differently. Hoping that looks better down the road. Edited October 6, 2018 by Augie 2 1

uticaclub Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Let’s hope MVP and DPOY voting is a little different in 3 years
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Did anyone on the Bills deserve to be on this list? Not with their play so far. Time to step it up, starting tomorrow.

But am I surprised at the 1/4 pole? Not really. Let’s see a marked step forward starting tomorrow. I’ll take something similar to the Minnie game please! Just got my XXL Allen game jersey in the mail today so I’d better not regret it, lol Edited October 7, 2018 by NoHuddleKelly12
GreggTX Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I think it's fair to say that Allen is at a serious disadvantage here. Who has a weaker supporting cast? Take away McCoy and this may be the weakest offensive lineup I've seen in 58 years of watching football. Only the Dan Darraugh led Bills that posted back to back 1-13 seasons can compare.
