Our first NFL Rookie Ranks are live! 🚨 Full list 👀

. Four running backs are already over 400 rushing yards, while six receivers have surpassed 300 receiving yards. Nine first-year defenders have multiple sacks, seven have multiple interceptions, and the class has combined for 48 sacks and 28 picks to date. Four quarterbacks have gotten at least one start, and teams are getting mostly effective play from their rookie offensive linemen.

So how do the rookies stack up so far? Let's rank the top 10 at midseason. We polled our own Matt Bowen, Jeff Legwold, Matt Miller and Jordan Reid for their personal lists and combined them to make a consensus ranking of the top 10 rookies. Our experts then weighed in on each player who made the list, along with a few who fell just short.

Where the hell is JaquanBrisker ?!!!!

Yet two Rookie OL on the Chargers who are basically All Pro's out the gate are not on that list. AKA- JOKE list.

Kayvon!!!?

Pickens London

trent mcduffie gon make his way up there this second half of the ssn

This list is trash woolen has had a better season than Gardner. Why is Gardner number one?

Is sauce Gardner the one who is doing massive PI on the last play of every game that's not getting called so his team wins?

Or is it based off impact for team.....even then Walker has been more impactful towards the Seahawks record then Sauce for the Jets......make it make sense ya bums.

Brisker should be on there. Man is clearly our best tackler now. Not to mention he has been everywhere on the field it seems.

Why is Sauce 1? Because NY? Or Draft position? Because Tariq is having a better year statistically. So if it's based of stats shouldn't he then be 1?

BIG T getting some respect 😈 RavensFlock

Unfortunately they all want to play for a REAL team and will demand a trade to the Eagles

George Pickens is better than all them when he gets utilized correctly

Should I accept this trade? Send: Kamara and Ceedee Get: Jamara chase and donta foreman My current RBs are Kamara, Chubb, Damien Pierce, K Walker, Cordelle Patterson. WRs are J Jefferson, Dhop, Ceedee, Brandon Cooks.

How did Kirby Joseph not make this list?

In what world are drake london and garrett wilson actually on here?

Trent Baalke masterclass at 1st overall. And the fanboys still like the pick 🤡

Woolen is easily 2

The disrespect towards JaquanBrisker is noted 🐻⬇️

no devin lloyd 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Garbage list!!!!! JaquanBrisker

Linderbaum honestly should be number 1

No Kohou immediately makes this list trash

_Tariqwoolen on 5? Never Must be on 1 after his lockdown performances this season

Kenneth Walker or Woolen. Honestly ORoTy and DRoTY

Woolen got the numbers and a better all around game, Sauce got the media. Jack Jones isn’t getting enough respect either in these CB heavy discussions.

No DevinLloyd_ ? The disrespect is insane

Sauce Gardner might be the only player on the list Dallas would accept in a trade for Tyler Smith.

Ikey Ekwonu isn’t on this list?

Has Drake London played since week 3?

Drake London 🥴

Wilson higher

Aidan does not belong on this list. He ain’t even the best rookie DL.

How did Abe Lucas do against Aidan Hutchinson when they played head to head? Thought so. Also, Lucas has a better PFF.

how in the world is devin lloyd or tavon walker not on here?

I'd put woolen on top just based on where he was drafted

No Pickens

Kyle Rittenhouse is using this platform to make money

Sauce sucks ass. Ref merchant since they never call his excessive PI

JaquanBrisker should be top 5…

Drake London over literally any guard/tackle from the draft is CRAZY

Jaquan Brisker. Who does these! 😂

Damn I don’t the 1 pick on the list

Both tackles on Seattle belong on this list.

I’m a USC fan but there is no way Drake London should be on this list over guys like Brisker or Pitre

Don't forget Kyle Hamilton doing his thing in Baltimore

How is Kirby Joseph not on this list onepride

Tyler Lindenbaum is a Top 5 rookie right now easily

Breece Hall only playing a portion of the season should still be top 10 at this point

Yo they not fr lying about brisker 😭

Jack Jones over Garrett Wilson

Jaquan Brisker isn’t a rookie?

Jamaryee Salyer and Zion Johnson would like a word.. ⚡️

Bahahaha Jack Jones isn't even the Best Rookie CB in his Division!!

I know he doesn’t play like a Rookie but JaquanBrisker should be near the top of this list.

You forgot JaquanBrisker

Kader Kohou over all these bums

nfldraftscout Wait Bryce Hall completely left off the list? He is top 10 based on what he did before his injury. Better than Hitchinson for damn sure

Drake London?!?!?!? REALLY?!?!?!?

GW17 should be 2 or 3

Two of our guys and we are missing Breece 👏🏼

Because it's ESPN 'especially sphincter pacific neutral'

Pierce too low imo…

Breece Hall WITH injury belongs on this list.

Stingley the most underrated

Jordan Davis would be on here if Jonathon Gannon knew how to use him

I actually agree with this list

Breece hall. I know he got hurt but god damn he was amazing to watch

Wb Breece hall

Respectable list

No Brisker is a crime

Keep hating on this man

Linderbaum higher

Why isn’t Tyler Smith on this list, he has stepped into the LT position for a 6-2 cowboy team and I think has only given up 1 sack this year .

ikem ekwonu

How do you not have Brisker on here? And as a follow up, how long have you been absolute clowns that don’t know ball if you meant to leave off JaquanBrisker?

Jahan Dotson would’ve made the list had he not gotten hurt

WRU in the house!

Where in tf is Jaquan Brisker? Dude is already considered a top 5-10 safety as a ROOKIE.

That’s crazy not even a mention of JaquanBrisker 🙄 my guy is balling for the bears rn 🐻 ⬇️

Brisker?!

Jaquan Brisker?

Other question is draft expectation used here? Like hutch has not lived up to being the 2nd pick, London hasn’t either as the 1st receiver, Wilson’s flashed but not really done much. Woolen deserves all the love being a 5th rounder being this good

y’all sleeping on brizzy

Any list w/out BrianR_4 is inaccurate

Jordan Davis deserve to be on this list

No sam williams? Dudes an absolute dawg on that cowboys defense

Travis Ettiene should be considered a rookie

What exactly has london done

The disrespect to JaquanBrisker is absurd

Dotson

Good list but i would put Hamilton as our best not Linderbaum. Hamilton is playing lights out the last few weeks. He’s been erasing every TE he’s faced since being put in that role.

Breeeeece

The fact linderbalm is even on this list as a ol is basicly equal to being named roty

I wish olave had a QB man

The disrespect to brisker is crazy

Jaquan Brisker and Kerby Joseph really slept on…….

Wait until ii_jermaine gets a rhythm. You'll be able to take Aiden Hutchinson off this list

Imagine that the Steelers suck in this too

would someone PLEASE explain to me how Sauce is better than Woolen right now

Shoutout to Breece Hall who was cooking at Running Back for the Jets before his injury. He surely would of been on this List I feel.

Everyone showing this woolen vs. sauce stat 😂😂 just know against a decent team with decent QB play, woolen gave up two tds. One to ertz and the other to Hopkins if it weren’t for the random false start 😂 and take the weird stat of FRs and replace them with PBUs

Love a shut-down CB. That Sauce Forever!!!

🧐🤨 Tariq Woolen: ✅ 4 interceptions ✅ 2 fumble recoveries ✅ 1 touchdown scored ✅ 54.2 passer rating allowed Sauce Gardner: ❌ 2 interceptions ❌ 0 fumble recoveries ❌ 0 touchdowns scored ❌ 69.1 passer rating allowed

No brisker.. Jeez y’all rlly smoke that good good

Devin lloyd should be on this list duuuval

Sauce 😩

Who would you rather have in a fantasy football keeper league for next year?

The Anti-Jags agenda is unreal

Even though he’s hurt, Breece Hall should be higher on the list

Ken Walker Dameon Pierce and Olave combined

Tariq Woolen: ✅ 4 interceptions ✅ 2 fumble recoveries ✅ 1 touchdown scored ✅ 54.2 passer rating allowed Sauce Gardner: ❌ 2 interceptions ❌ 0 fumble recoveries ❌ 0 touchdowns scored ❌ 69.1 passer rating allowed
