PYMWYMI and make some fun predictions and see how we fare. This way you have a reference if you make any claims that you 'knew' a player would be good
Pick any position you want and decide which rookie you think will be a surefire beast and live up to expecations, a rookie that will bust, and a sleeper from the later rounds. Obviously some of these will take years to see if they hold true

First round impact players:
Clowney (Texans) across from Watt.
Watkins (Bills) is too talented to stay on the bench...will bond with Manuel.
Ward (49ers) will surprise by being a play maker in the 9ers nickel defense.
Others:
Hearing that Matthews is already the best receiver on the Eagles.
Landry will show why the combine is over rated with Miami.
Believe that WR is postion most likely to shine in year one.
