Choosing the top rookie for this list was difficult. Even if one prospect was picked almost 60 spots ahead of the other, Chinn certainly has a strong case to become the most important defender in this class. His athletic profile is arguably the most exciting dynamic for any rookie on this team. What really makes him special is the ability to play several different positions. Chinn can play anywhere from strong safety to the slot to linebacker. It may take him some time to get adjusted to the NFL’s competition level, but if he can eventually play multiple spots well, Chinn will have a bright future in this league.
