With the success of Dalvin Cook in the rushing attack and Kirk Cousins having more time in the pocket to make plays, the offensive line looked like it had taken a leap in 2019-20.
Garrett Bradbury, the Vikings’ most-recent first round pick, started every game this season. He was part of an offensive line that had 2133 rushing yards.
Touchdown Wire liked what they saw, ranking Bradbury the 23rd best rookie in the 2019 class.
Bradbury was the 18th overall pick in the draft. He ranked as the third best rookie offensive linemen on the list, behind only the Packers’ Elgton Jenkins and the Saints’ Erik McCoy.
Bradbury was the third linemen taken in the 2019 draft, but neither of the two players picked before him — the Bengals’ Jonah Williams and the Falcons’ Chris Lindstrom — were ranked ahead of him on the list. However, both those players suffered injuries last season.
Nick Bosa, the edge rusher for the 49ers, was ranked No. 1 among all rookies. See the rest of the rankings here.
