Now that the draft has ended, we can start focusing on which of the players will be any good. Especially those players who will end up generating a lot of yards and scoring a lot of points.

The poll question for Tuesday’s Pro Football Talkon NBCSN focuses on which rookie will become the 2015 NFL offensive rookie of the year.

Thank you for voting!

I think the ACL and possibility of him missing a few games brings his number of votes down. He's arguably the best player in the draft.
 
I wouldn't vote for him.

I think he has a good shot at being great - but I'm hoping he isn't rushed, and in fact that they go extra slow with him to make sure we don't have an ACL repeat of 2014. And that means he'll miss too many games and need to get into game shape after that to win ROY.

It wouldn't shock me if he were the best RB in the league in 2016 though.

I'll go with Melvin Gordon. San Diego has built a bigger, beefier OL than even the Rams will have. Adding Orlando Franklin in free agency will make for a big improvement at LG.
I'm not expecting Gurley back until after the bye, and I believe we may require a little more time establishing chemistry on the OL with such a young and inexperienced group. I suspect the Rams offense may somewhat resemble our D last year, requiring half the season to adjust to Williams' scheme, ... although by mid-season, I expect Foles & the O will be firing on all cylinders. . jmo.
 
I don't care who wins the rookie of the year award. I just want Gurley to have a better career, far and away, than Gordon. A great career from Gurley should translate to success for our team, but he will also always be compared to Gordon. As long as Gurley stays healthy I believe he will have a better career.

I'd probably vote Cooper.

I don't think Gurley gets the touches to pull it off.
