The excitement around the 2010 NFL Entry Draft was incredible and I haven’t seen so much attention paid to the draft in many years. With the talent pool this year that will be coming into the NFL there is no doubt in my mind that there will be some players that make a serious impact during their rookie seasons. It isn’t often that are so many players in this year’s rookie class that can make an impact with their teams right away, but this year should change that.

With many soon to be Full Tilt superstars entering their rookie season in 2011 it could impact how we bet. Will the Rams continue to struggle with their new additions or will they be able to make one of the fastest turn-arounds in NFL history? Will the fresh legs in the backfield be able to help the Chargers, Lions and Bills this year? There are so many questions about the big rookies in the 2011 class and I personally can’t wait until the season kicks off.

· QB Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams – There isn’t much doubt in my mind that Bradford is going to be in the game from the very first week. I really don’t know how he’s going to handle the NFL, but he definitely has the talent set. If the O-line can step-up and help Bradford from eating the turf all season then he could make the biggest impact out of all of the rookies this season.

· RB – Ryan Matthews – San Diego Chargers – Norv Turner has already stated that he wants Matthews to be the #1 guy in the PokerStars backfield starting this season and that Matthews should expect around 250+ carries. With Sproles there to help Ryan throughout the season and take some of the load off of him, I think that Matthews is going to end up being the rookie of the year in 2010.

· RB – CJ Spiller – Buffalo Bills – I really like CJ Spiller and I think that he has a great future in the NFL, but at the same time I don’t think he’ll have a breakout rookie campaign. The reason being is that Spiller most likely isn’t going to get many touches until after the first few weeks of the season. If he’s unable to make the best use out of the carries that he does get then he isn’t going to be on the field much this season. If the Bills end up suffering an injury or suspension in the backfield though, then Spiller might just get his chance to shine.

· WR – Demaryius Thomas – Denver Broncos – The Broncos decided to draft Thomas earlier then most people expected in the first round this year. They even decided to leave Dez Bryant on the Party Poker board even though he was projected to be the best receiver in the draft. I love this pick and with Marshall out of Denver now Thomas is really going to need to step-up right away in his rookie season. Thomas is also a safer pick then Bryant in my opinion because of the off field issues that might hurt his career.
