Rookie Impact

[BFritz21]

I think Kroft steps in as our #2 TE and we just dominate teams with the two-TE set because Hill being a beast will being a safety into the box with the other one overtop of AJ, so who's going to cover Kroft and Eifert up the seams? Backers? Good luck with that.

I also like what Shaw brings to the defensive backfield, but I think that Hardison could have the biggest rookie impact on the D because it was a miracle that he fell to us in the fourth (maybe not a miracle, but it was a hell of a steal to get him where we did), and with Atkins returning to form, MJ back, and guys like Dunlap continuing to get better, I think we put him inside on passing downs (at least) and watch him wreak hell. It may not show up in his stats, but, at the very least, he'll call for chips and double teams, freeing up other guys to be single-blocked, which is a dream come true for us.

All that aside, I think our pass rush could still function without Hardison, so I gotta go with Kroft because I think he helps take our offense to the next level (I also think Uzomah could do some big things, but we might only see him in goal line sets).
