Sauce Gardner DPOY (1 Viewer)

I've seen enough. Sauce should be in the conversation for DPOY and should be a shoe-in for DROY.

Should be DRotY

Most sacks by rookies this season:

Aidan Hutchinson 9.5
James Houston 8.0
George Karlaftis 6.0
Kayvon Thibodeaux 4.0
Jaquan Brisker 4.0

Tariq Woolen’s final rookie season stats:

• 644 coverage snaps
• 68 targets
• 38 receptions allowed (549 yards)
• 16 passes defensed
• 6 INT

Sauce Gardner’s final rookie season stats:

• 642 coverage snaps
• 73 targets
• 33 receptions allowed (344 yards)
• 20 passes defensed
• 2 INT
 
All Pro. Best coverage player of the year according to PFF.

Across the board DROY, according to PFF. Hutchinson and Woolen were runners-up.

Chris Jones was DPOY according to PFF. Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons were runners-up.

Sauce is in the conversation for DPOY, though.

He’s so so good. Best pick in the draft IMO.

He’s the Jets new Revis. Totally changes what you can do on defense with a corner his caliber. The Jets knocked their draft out of the park in 2022.

It was nice for the Jets and their fans to finally really nail one. Thank God Houston took Stingley, Jr. right in front of him. I almost burst out in cheers knowing that the Jets would pick Sauce next.
 
I love Hutch and it was a great pick for Detroit but I did want them to draft Sauce. Hutch looks like he will become a consistent top 10 edge defender for a decade. Sauce looks like he will be the best cover CB in the league for the next decade.
 
Jets got one right!

Sauce lived up to it and more. Going to be a huge help transforming this team into a winner. Go get D. Carr yesterday.
The jets draft this year looks REALLY REALLY good. Like new standard good.

Garrett Wilson, Sauce, breece hall all looked great. Jermaine Johnson had moments where he showed his talent. Ruckert and Mitchell even got in a bit.

Similar to the Micah Parsons/Penei Sewell debate. Missed out on an All Pro. Took the guy who will anchor the line for a decade. Not really a wrong answer, they seem completely comfortable getting their dudes.
 
Bosa and Sauce are locks for DPOY and DROY
I don't see Bosa as a lock. Frankly, I wouldn't even have picked him as a 1st team all-pro. Myles Garrett (just like he was better than TJ Watt last year) keeps getting screwed because he's not on a playoff team, but beyond him, I would argue Parsons effects the game more than Bosa.

No real problem if Bosa wins, but "lock" just seems strong to me. He has had an excellent season.

Then again, Mahomes got 49 out of 50 1st team votes for QB, and I would have voted Josh Allen (who also somehow finished behind Hurts) over him, as I think Buffalo is actually a mediocre team, that he has been carrying for months.
 
Sauce was there from day 1, and virtually eliminated whomever he covered all season long. Teams avoided that side of the field for a legit reason.

43% reception %
14 pass break ups and 2 picks
52.5 passer rating allowed

Not only top rookie CB, but top CB on the season hands down. Hutch is in consideration, but DROY and ROY is Gardner's in my opinion. Not sure DPOY is in play for him.
 
I often wonder what the perception of Garrett would be if he weren't on the Browns. I feel like he's been the best non-Aaron Donald defensive player for several years now.

I think it's tough to shake the image of him nearly braining Mason Rudolph for no good reason. Easier to have Parsons or Bosa front and center. Not to mention the Wattage from T.J.

Clemons showed up to make some plays as well.

Still fuming Caserio and the hapless Texans selected Stingley over Sauce. Talk about a whiff that's going to haunt them for years to come.

makes up pretty much going o-fer 2020 and blowing the #2 overall in 2021.

I forgot about that, woof. How was Stingley this year?

Injury prone as advertised. Didn't seem like a difference maker when out there but that could've been Lovie's defensive scheme. Definitely not a #3 pick.
