After poring over a draft class so thoroughly, I love watching how they perform across the league. So I thought I'd offer this up as a forum for I-told-you-so's and I-never-would-have-guesseds.
Let's start out with 2 at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Danny Watkins was a major favorite on this board who was supposed to be "more mature" and "readier" than most of the class...but turned out to be thoroughly unready.
Cam Newton had as much doubt and controversy surrounding him as any #1 overall pick ever. If I were the Panters, I don't think I would have pulled the trigger. But he's come out of the gate as strongly as any rookie QB ever.
