muck Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Not the guys who'll go with the first five picks, but the guys who'll be the most productive rookies pretty much regardless of where they end up: 1. Calvin Johnson, WR 2. Amobi Okoye, DT 3. Adrian Peterson, RB 4. Joe Staley, OT 5. Patrick Willis, LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Not the guys who'll go with the first five picks, but the guys who'll be the most productive rookies pretty much regardless of where they end up: 1. Calvin Johnson, WR 2. Amobi Okoye, DT 3. Adrian Peterson, RB 4. Joe Staley, OT 5. Patrick Willis, LB Nice to see no QBs on the list, and Johnson being the only WR. I do think you're too high on Johnson, since even with his huge amount of physical ability & knowledge of the position, he'll still struggle at times. I think Joe Thomas, Okoye, & Willis are locks on this list. No matter where they end up, they are sure-fire starters. I think Peterson most probably belongs on the list, but I worry that he'll end up somewhere like CLE, where he'll have to share the load with a vet, like Maroney had to share with Dillon in NE. I also think we'll see some RB come out of the blue & rocket up the production list when they end up being the only legit backup behind a #1 RB who gets tweaked (or flat out beat out in preseason), and I think we'll see another LB end up somewhere near that top 5 list when one of the OLBs ends up in an ideal WLB starting gig. Lynch is a candidate if he ends up in BUF or GB. Gaines Adams is a great bet to crack the top 5 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Not the guys who'll go with the first five picks, but the guys who'll be the most productive rookies pretty much regardless of where they end up: 1. Calvin Johnson, WR 2. Amobi Okoye, DT 3. Adrian Peterson, RB 4. Joe Staley, OT 5. Patrick Willis, LB I like the list and agree that CJ will be great but I doubt he will have the greatest impact of any rookie. The learning curve of rookie WRs and all. I could see him catching 40-50 passes but I could also see Lynch going for close to 1000 yards which would give him a greater impact then CJ. My 5 1. Patrick Willis, LB 2. Joe Thomas, OT 3. Adrian Peterson, RB 4. Amobi Okoye, DT 5. M. Lynch, RB (6. C. Johnson, WR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Joe Thomas? Or, Joe Staley? Joe Thomas - OT - WIS The overwhelming pick for the top OT in the draft, and probably a guy who ought to go no lower than the 2nd pick in the draft, even though he might last to #5.

Yeah he might go to Arizona. They have a good shot at turning that program around this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sorry, I wasn't too clear ... those were simply my top five, not necessarily in order. If I put them in order of impact, I'd probably say Okoye, Willis, Peterson, Johnson and Staley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
