Who is looking good, and who isn't?

Kareem Hunt and Dalvin Cook are looking good af, Reuben Foster showed some flashes as well in pre-season to name only a few.

Can´t say much about potential busts after three games though, but I have the feeling the QB-search in Cleveland isn´t finished...

Gotta say after last night (provincially of course) - Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods showed me things that make me believe the Cowboys knew what they were doing when they drafted them. Both had miscues you expect from rookie DB's but both also made plays that contributed to a win. Wish Awuzie could get healthy because I still think he'll be the best of the bunch but overall, I can't be too displeased with their progress.

Because 21 year old rookie quarterbacks frequently dominate in their first three games. :roll: As a Browns fan I'd focus more on Njoku(looking good) and Larry Ogunjobi(looking very good).

I never said Kizer has to dominate but there were many situations he could´ve handled better, especially situations he should know from college as well (--> accuracy).

Bottom line - Hunt is my #1 rookie right now. As @Ayatollah noted in another thread, the Chiefs came together in a hurry and he has to be looked as the reason why. Still over 75% of the season left but if he stays healthy...

Takk stepped up in Beasley's absence. 1 sack, 1 TFL, and 1 deflection. Our other rookies haven't shown much yet.

Cooper Kupp is really good.

Gerald Everett is also looking good, although in limited duty.

Tanziel Smart has worked his way into the DL rotation.

Josh Reynolds is another WR that flashed in preseason, hasn't done much in the regular season.

This Rams draft class is showing really good signs.
