NFL Rookie Rankings: Our top 10, and why Nick Bosa is No. 1

After eight weeks of the 2019 season, the NFL's top rookies are a collection of those with massive expectations, some slight surprises and more than a little nod toward defense.

We asked six ESPN writers and analysts to once again rank the top 10 rookies to this point. We tabulated the results, using Heisman-esque scaling for each ranking.

Then we identified two first-years who have seen their stock rise over the past month, and two more who have declined in stock. ESPN Stats & Information's Seth Walder also stopped by to name an under-the-radar rookie to keep an eye on -- his final pick from early October nearly made the top 10 this time around.
