Not going to lie that's pretty impressive. I stand by what I said though. I don't think he becomes great.
Still think I hate the Eagles for some reason I see. I have nothing against them I was off the Matthews bandwagon even when he was playing for Vandy (a school I like FYI). I seriously have nothing against philly. I think their fans are annoying usually (nothing against you or eddie though), but I like Chip Kelly and I recognize that they are very good. I'm pretty indifferent towards them honestly.
And you also say that I assume the Titans rookies would become great: here's what I thought of the players the Titans took before they took them.
Round 1: Taylor Lewan: Didn't want him b/c of off the field issues, thought he would be good but Jake Matthews was better.
After: Still don't like the pick.
Round 2: Bishop Sankey: I didn't think he was great because I like speed backs and Sankey doesn't display anything that wowed me.
After: A little more impressed with how he plays as a receiver and blocker but I still don't think he's going to be an elite RB or anything. The value was great for trading down into the end of the second for the first RB taken.
Round 4: Marqueston Huff: Didn't even know who he was.
After: It makes sense because he's a prototype FS/CB hybrid, which we need. He's had a good two preseason games but he probably won't do much with Griffin and Wilson ahead of him.
Round 4: DaQuan Jones: Loved the pick when it happened. He' a monster nose tackle who can start right away if Casey plays 5 technique like I've thought he should. It looks like Casey will play 3-4 DT, which makes Jones a talented rotator.
After: He was great against New Orleans on Friday. Still love the pick.
Round 5: Avery Williamson: Didn't think he was going to be drafted and I didn't like the pick. He's a local guy for Tennessee so there's that.
After: He hasn't looked good so far and my opinion hasn't changed.
Round 6: Zach Mettenberger: Loved the pick. I had him in the first round BEFORE we selected him and we got him in round 6.
After: Love the pick even more. He's shown a lot of potential despite some turnovers.
