Default Sophomore class: Who makes the biggest impact?

NOT COUNTING MAYO

The word around is always that a players career may be indicated by what they do from year one their rookie year to year two as a sophomore.

So with that being said,which of the following sophomores do you expect to make more of an impact from either playing for a short time to sitting on the bench to IR last season.

Tough call between Wheatley and Guyton for me. With the Springs/Bodden additions, i think the best Wheatley can do is be the 3rd corner. But then again thats more and more important in the modern-day league. I'll give the slight edge to Guyton, because i think regardless of what we do in the draft he has a good lock as the 3rd down coverage LB and maybe more if we don't fortify ILB in the draft and Bruschi continues to regress. I reserve the right to change my answer to Vince Redd if we don't add Taylor/Peppers or a good OLB high in the draft.

I'm betting on Wheatley to win a starting spot somewhere during the season. I thought he showed already flashes of good play last year. I agree that it's a tough call with guyton. I think Crable might need more time.

I was thinking Wheatley or Guyton as well. Wheatley has a year experience, and can finally show what he's got being a high draft pick. Guyton will have more opportunity to shine, but I'm not sure if he can take on an expanded role.

Not in reference to your post,but I do hope you change your Pioli picture soon to Caserio - I hate seeing that KC cap on his head .

I went with Crable - I would have loved to have seen Vrabel working with Crable and as a mentor to helping him out with the position but I am sure Thomas will give him the support he needs to become servicable in his sophomore year.

He still needs to strengthen and muscle up on those toothpick legs though,they scare me.

if wheatley stays healthy he's going to take a starting spot and do some damage. Best case for crable is a rotation with woods. Guyton is also going to be a role player - IF wheatley fulfills his potential he's going to contribute the most.

I went with Crable because Wheatley showed a lot last year, Crable never had a chance. But he also has had a year to get healthy and learn the system more.

Kind of hard to tell before the draft but I wen with Guyton. It's large an issue of practicality since he's in a position to see the field more than anybody else. Of course, that's completely contingent on the draft - we should re-visit the issue later.
