CBSN
Let's separate the impressive first-round rookies from the disappointing ones
It could just be me -- the 2021 NFL preseason feels more captivating than any I can remember. Maybe we were taking exhibition games for granted and miss them after we went without the preseason last year? This August, we've gotten five first-round rookie quarterbacks on display, a trio of top 10 receivers splitting out wide, and a loads of anticipation for a plethora of other marquee draft choices. As a draft analyst, it's been glorious. Clearly, I'm grateful to watch preseason football, but player evaluations must continue, of course. Which first-round rookies have impressed? How about the disappointing players selected within the initial 32 picks in April? I've pinpointed them below.
