We all had our draft favorites and now that we know which teams these guys ended up with, it's time for predicting the Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year.
Offense: I'm going w/Garrett Wilson. I have big questions about his qb, but the Jets say they have no questions about him. I do know that Wilson is the most complete receiver in the draft. He can make contested catches, but he also gets so wide open so he doesn't have to rely on that as often as a guy like London. He's way more physical than his frame would suggest. He throws guys around at times. He is so acrobatic. I think the Jets will get him the ball a lot. I mean a lot. I see a Justin Jefferson type of year for Wilson.
Defense: I am going to go with Kyle Hamilton. I thought this guy was excellent in college. While his 40 speed wasn't great, I didn't see anyone cover more ground in college than Hamilton did. He's all over the place. You can move him around. Deep, intermediate, in the box, etc. He also seems very smart. He will be a day one starter and I think he has the opportunity to make a ton of eye-catching plays.
