So far this preseason Bleacher report has created weekly "power rankings" for all NFL rookies. This weeks they have Star ranked 22nd (out of 25), which is 14 spots lower than he was the week before.

 

This is basically what they stated about him:

 

  • They call Star a "human bulldozer" giving him a 16.4/20 on a college tape measuring scale, but then give him a 5.4/10 on strength saying " his functional strength and dominance do not show up on test numbers (i.e Combine).

 

  • The columnist goes on saying that he is a great fit for Carolina and well get an early opportunity (stuff we already should know).

 

  • Then after talking about how he has received high praise from Ron Rivera in TC, the article goes on to say that in his game one performance he had an uneventful night and was moved easily by Eben Britton, rankings were a 2.5/5.

They give Star an overall ranking of 36.4/50 for the week. I haven't really watched Star a lot this preseason mainly b/c we know what your going to get from him, which is clogging up the hole.

 

So do you guys think this is an accurate ranking of Star? Do you think his stock has fallen or risen in the Eagles game? Are you impressed with Star at this point? (even though its early)

 

Other rookie's of interest where: Desmond Trufant (24th) Manti Te'o (16th) Geno Smith (13th) EJ Manuel (4th)

If it weren't for the Internet, Bleacher Report would be written in crayon.

If that is the case then much of the things written here would be formed with alphabet soup letters on a high chair tray.

 

I get that it is started as an open source publishing concept but it's not really that anymore. Of course you have to take things with a grain of salt but don't you have to do the same for what is published everywhere? It's not all terrible just because some of it is.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
