He started at right tackle for the University of Oregon for three seasons and was a second-team All-Pac-12 selection his senior year. Geoff Schwartz played eight seasons in the NFL for five different teams. At this price, he's definitely worth the sprinkle. The rookie has the potential to add a ton of value in the passing game, something he did extremely well at UCLA. Maybe it’s a homer wager since I root for UCLA and cover the Pac-12 conference, but Charbonnet has the potential for a big season if things break right in Seattle.Ĭharbonnet will share the backfield with Kenneth Walker, who rushed for over 1000 yards in his first Seattle season, but Pete Carroll has already said there will be competition for reps in the backfield. This is my favorite "long-shot" wager for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Zach Charbonnet: +3000 ( bet $10 to win $310 total ) Addison will be that target for Cousins if this trend continues, and he will rack up a ton of yards after the catch because he is likely to be singled up with defensive attention elsewhere.Įxpect him to have a big season in Minnesota He was throwing the ball shorter than ever, which is where Addison becomes valuable for this offense. Vikings' quarterback Kirk Cousins, whether by design or not, had his lowest adjusted yards per attempt of his career in 2022. Addison will be featured in the slot in the Vikings' offense, and with Justin Jefferson opposite of him in formation, defenses will focus on Jefferson, so Addison will be able to work freely. The wide receiver from USC is an elite route runner with quick feet and the ability to work complex routes. It’s vital to draft players that fit your offensive or defensive philosophy, and the Minnesota Vikings did that with Jordan Addison. Jordan Addison: +1400 ( bet $10 to win $150 total ) Having games with a handful of highlight rushing plays and an occasional instance where he shows off his rocket arm could be enough for this wager to cash. That difference is what wins these types of awards. It just might look different for a while." I’ve told our guys here that Anthony might have some games where he’s nine of 22 for 105 yards - but in the game, he’ll run 10 times for 115 yards. "We’re taking a guy not only for what he can do today but for what he can become tomorrow. Check out this quote from general manager Chris Ballard. The Colts have acknowledged what this season might look like for Richardson. The reason why I love this draft pick for the Colts is also why I think this wager is a good one. Richardson needs game reps to improve, so I expect the Indianapolis Colts will play him early and let him learn on the fly. He's a raw prospect, but he's got a lot of technique and skill work ahead of him to become the quarterback the Colts want him to be. Richardson has the athletic wow factor to win an award that is often more about the highlight packages and less about the box score. That will help him win this award.Įmmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, LeSean McCoy, and David Helman debate which QB taken in this draft class is under the most pressure.Īnthony Richardson: +700 ( bet $10 to win $80 total ) Young also has enough weapons on the edge to move the ball.īryce Young will have good numbers while winning in Charlotte. Carolina has a talented but young offensive line and a rushing attack that proved to be better without Christian McCaffery last season. The Panthers have a legit defense on paper, and with a new defensive staff, they can potentially be a top-10 unit. And the New Orleans Saints have Derek Carr, but their roster is not as deep as Carolina's. The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have below-average quarterbacks. If Bryce can play well early in his Panthers career, his new squad has the real opportunity to be a playoff team in the weak NFC South. So Young getting Day 1 reps as the starter puts him ahead of the other quarterbacks selected because they will not have the same opportunities to play early on in the season. The Panthers' front office did not draft the Heisman-winning QB with the intention of him sitting behind Andy Dalton for months learning the offense. Young was the most ready-to-play of the top quarterback prospects in this draft, and the Panthers traded considerable assets to acquire him. Bryce Young is my favorite wager to win the Rookie of the Year award because he became the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback as soon as he was drafted with the first pick.
