Rookie of the year…

[Bockeye]

Last Bills player to receive rookie of the year was Kiko Alonso in 2013.  Who’s it gonna be out of our draft class?

 

I’m swinging for the fences and going for Landon Jackson.  

 

Who ya got?

[Brandon]

One of the DBs,  likely Hairston.

 

The DLs almost always need a year or two to develop.  I'm keeping my expectations in check for those guys this year.  

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

In 2013 the Bills were a bad team so much easier  path for a rookie to look good.   The only player that will even likely see the field enough to have a chance to win award is Hairston

 

Barring injuries the odds are likely higher that Jackson won't even be active the first few weeks of the season than he wins RofY 

[wppete]

JT Sanders is going to be a menace. I think our best drat pick. 

[Wizard]

Ashton Jeanty of the Raiders.

 

No one from the Bills on Defense. I will happily settle with Hairston as a starter and Sanders, Jackson as frequent rotation players, and one other guy as a solid bench guy (Strong, Hancock, or Walker).

[Sojourner]

For the league?

 

Mykel Williams (49ers) or Abdul Carter (Giants) for DROY 

 

Ashton Jeanty for OROY

 

 

Rookie of the year for Buffalo? Think it turns out to be Landon Jackson. 8.5 sacks on the year.

That's pretty presumptuous to assume any of them are going to win Rookie of the Year - but I like your enthusiasm.

 

The only answer is Maxwell Hairston though. He's the only one who could end up with a starting role. Jackson, Sanders, and Walker won't be getting the kind of reps to win a Rookie of the Year.

🤣 I’m always in, like all of you.  Some absolute awesome posters here that have exceptional insight on the draft….and I’m not one of them.  Just hoping like hell we get an absolute stud that turns the tide for us with the other pieces to win the SB.

Kiko didn’t win the real rookie of the year? I thought he was runner-up to Sheldon Richardson.

Rookie of the year will not be a Bill
 

 

[SoonerBillsFan]

Mad Max for the win.

[MikePJ76]

Hampton in LA.

 

Harbaugh is going to wear that dude out and I think he is going to have a great year.

Re: Your last paragraph....you might wanna remind yourself we have 2 DL serving suspensions to start the season

 

I'd be shocked if we hit on a DROY.  Hairston, would be my guess if I had to pick someone-  a couple pick 6s and a Treyvon Diggs type rookie year might do it

[TFBillsfan]

Hairston would have to have a dominate year with  5+ INTS. I don’t anticipate that happening and everyone is most likely getting 20 ish snaps per game as a rotational player. 
 

DROY won’t be won by a Bill this season.

Maybe my google search lied to me.   It’s happened before.  Or maybe there are a few different awards.  This is what I was going off.

Alpha - You have phenomenal insight on rookies and football in general.  Who do you think it’s gonna be? Give us your top three if you would.

[BigDingus]

I doubt most of the guys we drafted will even get a chance to start, so probably none of them. 

 

Maxwell Hairston is the only one that might have a shot (unless he ends up a dud like Elam & gets passed over on the depth chart by one of the other rookie CBs).

[Steve Billieve]

A lesson in patience I guess

If I had to pick 3:

 

OROY

Jeanty - He is my top choice.  
Hunter - If he plays two way and does well at both, he will be hard to beat

Hampton - He has to overtake Najee, but I think he will.

**Honorable mention:  Shadeur Sanders - if he starts, and I think he will start.**

 

DROY

Carter - He is my top choice.

Walker 

Starks
