I'll take a short period of absolute dominance over year-long consistency. Evans' season started slowly and he mi sed a game with injury, but he's on a torrid run with over 455 yards in his last three games alone. He's quickly made the second best deep threat on the Bucs.Chris We seling's pick: . No rookie in NFL history has matched Evans' Welington Castillo Jersey streak of three straight games with at least seven receptions, 100 yards and one touchdown. has been too inconsistent, and 's production has been overly reliant on garbage time. I still believe has the brightest future of the rookie wideouts.Kevin Patra's pick: . Other rookie receivers have put up killer numbers and all are worth a nod. They're also on losing teams. I'll take the kid on the team with the NFL's best record, who has made game-winning plays. Four game-winning touchdowns.Marc Se sler's pick: . might be the better long-term player and Evans has been white-hot, but I'm sticking with Watkins. With 20 more targets than the next wideout, Watkins has churned out his share of monster weeks despite battling through a string of nagging injuries and a quarterback change.Dan Hanzus' pick: . The wide receiver moved to the front of this list after Sunday's monster game against the . Not only has Evans developed at lightning speed, he's actually displaced as the team's No. 1 option. If the Bucs finish strong, Evans will be a major reason why.Defensive Rookie of the YearGregg Rosenthal's pick: . I'm projecting here, but Borland absolutely deserves the award if he continues his torrid pace for the last six weeks of the season.

Every-down player and leading tackler on a stout defense. He has no weakne ses in his game. , and are also strong candidates.Kevin Patra's pick: . Despite sitting on a winle s team, Mack has been an absolute beast. He has just one sack, but his run defense has been outlandish. This is a player that will dominate for years to come. If he can put on performances like this consistently with the group he's playing with, imagine if he had other playmakers around him?Marc Se sler's pick: . The plugged him as a starter in August and never looked back. He's been an absolute rock against the run with a knack for making plays in coverage. Inside linebackers don't pile up the sexy numbers, but Mosley has been as central to his defense as any rookie around.Dan Hanzus' pick: . The No. 9 overall pick has made an immediate impact with his ability to get to the quarterback, stuff the run and hold his own in coverage. Barr's came in overtime against the Bucs, when he forced and recovered a fumble, then ran it in for a dramatic game-ending score.Biggest Rookie SurpriseGregg Rosenthal's pick: The ' draft cla s. Everyone that put No. 1 on their big board looks smart now. . has showed enough potential to believe he's a keeper. Guard , defensive tackle , and cornerback all look like solid role players. Reggie McKenzie left the next general manager a going away present.Chris We seling' Jose Abreu Jersey s pick: and . It's not hyperbole to suggest that Borland has actually been an upgrade on five-time first-team All-Pro over the past three weeks. He's been the most productive inside linebacker in the NFL. Lynch has been a revelation on the outside, sending veteran to the bench.Kevin Patra's pick: . Some of -- yes, yes I went there. Still I never thought it'd happen this quickly, nor at the dominant level he's played the past three weeks.Marc Se sler's pick: The Ghost of Manziel. has attempted one pa s all season. On a team with a rookie coach, a first-year general manager and at quarterback, who expected the quarterback savior out of Texas A&M to serve as a complete nonfactor? Cleveland's in for another interesting offseason.Dan Hanzus' pick: Jr. Expectations in 2014 bottomed out after a lingering hamstring injury nearly derailed his rookie season. Then Beckham got healthy, started making big plays every week, and became the subject of praise.

How can it not be the No. 1 overall pick who has played in just three games?Marc Se sler's pick: . Detroit seemed like an ideal landing spot for the supposed playmaking tight end, but Ebron's early struggles with the playbook have given way to an uneven and underwhelming campaign for a offense that could use a push.Dan Hanzus' pick: .Pryor was supposed to be bring attitude to 's secondary, but the ' ongoing cornerback apocalypse has forced New York to play Pryor out of position.
