As this sim approaches, are there any rookies or 2nd year players you are relying on to have a great camp?

I only kept 4 rookies, and am not really relying on any of them, but I'd love to see WR Paul Shay boom. Not likely with only 20 volatility.

My 3rd rd pick might though. DT John Davies has 46 volatility. I'd love to see his tackle, ball strip, and run defense boom.

Then there's my 6th rd pick. RB John Claus who came out of college as a QB. He has 58 volatility. If his receiving attributes boom, he might be a solid backup RB. As it is, he's pretty low on RB depth and serves as my 3rd QB.

My other rookie, LB Vince Cox only has 4 volatility, so it's not likely he'll boom or bust.

I'm hoping for good camps from my top 3 picks Jim Rockford, Victor Mackey and Adrian Monk. Picks 4-6 are "projects" and my 7th pick was immediately cut.

Jim Rockford FS 31 78
Victor Mackey RDE 24 73
Adrian Monk WLB 23 64
Sonny Crockett TE 29 67
Shawn Spencer FS 23 55
Horacio Caine DT 20 49

I do my best to never rely on rookies but always hope for the best.

Good overall rookie camp for the Crusaders (+49/+9)

Jim Rockford FS 31 78 (11/-3)
Victor Mackey RDE 24 73 (9/5)
Adrian Monk WLB 23 64 (11/4)
Sonny Crockett TE 29 67 (4/2)
Shawn Spencer FS 23 55 (8/6)
Horacio Caine DT 20 49 (6/-5)

My camp yielded only one keepable rookie, ouch.

Eh, not good news in Aspen. Could have been worse though:

WR Paul Shay: 46/77 -> +4/+1 -> 50/78
DT John Davis: 28/69 -> +9/-5 -> 37/64
LB Vince Cox: 25/62 -> +9/+1 -> 34/63
RB Juan Claus: 21/53 -> +5/-4 -> 26/49

A couple keepers for the Burn

James Collins WR 15/11 44/83
Rodney Havens RT 3/5 40/66
Duane Stern DT 8/1 42/64
Dale King CB 2/-8 30/44
John Holm CB 17/1 54/82
Don Johnson FS 2/-13 17/23

RC Cobras Training Camp...

1st Round - LT - Randy Conn (+9/+1)
2nd Round - DT - Aaron Worthy (+2/+1)
3rd Round - LG - Steven Mock (+3/+1)
4th Round - LB - Erik Larue (+4/-2)
5th Round - FS - David Green (+7/+5)
6th Round - RT - George Simmons (+2/-2)
7th Round - K - Karl Demelo (+2/+3)

Overall : +29 / +7

So-so camp for the Dragons, our 1.32 pick, LT Dennis Harrell, went -7. Our second rounder, C Gary Linton held up pretty well at +1. And our 3rd rounder, OT/G William Henderson exceeded all expectations with a +8 gain! No other rookies made it past the camp.
