Some guys we all universally agreed on have kicked ass so far outside of the top 10 known players:

Bowers
BTJ
Verse
Quinyon

Some guys I love that are doing well:

Braden Fiske
Ladd McConkey
Drake Maye-top 10 but I thought he was the best QB prospect
Graham Barton
Edgerrin Cooper-feels like we all universally liked him
Bucky Irving-God I wanted him here so bad

Guys that I didn’t like that are not doing well:

Jordan Morgan-never understood the hype with him
Amarius Mims
Nate Wiggins

Misses:

Bo Nix-he’s not great but he’s been better than I thought mostly due to scheme
Darius Robinson
Tyler Guyton
Ben Sinnott-thought he’d make an impact like LaPorta
Marshawn Kneeland
Jeremiah Burton-guy is immature as hell. Already a problem
Jared Wiley-injured but I thought he’d be an instant impact guy. Still like his future
Devontez Walker-wtf happened to this guy???
Javon Baker-no idea what is going on with him. Another guy most of us liked
Brandon Dorlus
Keon Coleman
Masson Smith

I won't pretend like I had too many strong opinions, particularly any well researched opinions.

Coleman is better than I thought he'd be. The videos I saw of him he looked John Baldwin slow. He couldn't get separation in the ACC, but somehow can in the NFL.

I thought Nix would be pretty awful, but I gotta say I'm impressed. He's not Mahomes and periodically has some really tough throws, but he's been solid as a rookie on a not great team. He may end up as an Alex Smith type, but he can competently operate an offense and as long as he doesn't have to do it all himself, he can put pressure on a defense.

Nix is much better than I thought. Maye is showing

Bowers is as good as I thought.

McConkey is good and has stayed healthy, which was the main concern I had coming into the NFL.

Maye has been really good so far, which was my initial read on him.

I also thought Burton would overcome his maturity shit, but it's clearly holding him back.

I was laughed at when I talked about how high I was on Nix. He appears to be pretty freakin solid.

Kamari Lassiter is nails and Andru Phillips has looked pretty good at CB.

Brian Thomas Jr has been phenomenal. We should have traded up for that guy like I wanted us to. Him falling to 23 was criminal.

Troy Fautanu was looking really good until he got injured.

Edgerrin Cooper and Payton Wilson have been what I thought they'd be at LB.

Theo Johnson has been good at TE but has been dinged here and there.

The two guys I liked most - Quinyon Mitchell and Malik Nabers are both playing like I expected. Too bad Nabers has - or had - Dimes throwing to him. I liked Brian Thomas Jr. and Fiske too.

And I hate saying this, but I seem to have been wrong about Nix. I've seen nothing to suggest that I was wrong about Troy Franklin not being very good, but that still remains to be seen.

Fiske and Verse are doing about what I expected, but even faster than I expected, in LA.

I think a lot of people need to eat crow on McConkey too :-)
