Pathetic rookie class

[quoteedd81c0="MrBug708"]Pathetic rookie class[/quoteedd81c0]

What about the other rounds though? My second round lineman has outperformed my first rounder...

Yeah this was a very weak rookie class- My RB Fulton is playing well, but not at the level you would expect from the # 4 pick. My WR Campbell has been a dissapointment, but with a season or two playing the # 3 spot he might develop into a solid starter. My 2nd round DT has been playing good- but thats about it from my rookies.

whats a good percentage for key run blocks?

More than 30% run blocking percentage is considered very good over the course of an entire season.

Thank you for the writeup. Great read.

[quoteb7affa7="3ric"]More than 30% run blocking percentage is considered very good over the course of an entire season.[/quoteb7affa7]

My rookie LT (2nd rounder) is at 50% (9/18) but his SkA is terrible.. (6 allowed, 2.9 %)...

I'd like to mention my stand-out rookie DT Richard Cassidy selected in the 3rd round. He has the following statline so far :

played in 8 games, 8 games started - 21 tackles and 12 assists, 5.5 sacks, 1 pass blocked and 5 hurries. He has also forced and recovered 1 fumble.

Not too shabby, methinks..

dola - and my 4rd rounder isn't too bad either, RG Rob Jeffries who has started my 8 games and is 15 for 35 blocking (42.8%) with just 2 sacks allowed.
