Anyone else disappointed?
This is a very late question but... do you all agree that this year's draft class will make it a boring year for collecting? Last year was awesome! Luck, RG3, Wilson, Osweiler, Tannehill, Rich, Martin, and he list goes on. From what it looks like there will be no starting QB's from this years draft Needless to say I won't be buying more than 3 boxes this year lol. Instead I will just order boxes from last year at blowout What are your guys plan's for this year?
Collecting: Crede, Luck, Tannehill, Osweiler, Cobb

Well, I think there are going to be some guys that are going to be breakout stars. I don't know who yet (other than I think Lacy is going to be AWESOME... that spin move is insane), but I think there are going to be some guys who surprise everybody. It seems the guys that are the best seem to be the ones that are overlooked a bit when draft time comes (Brady, Favre, Rodgers to a certain degree, Donald Driver, etc). I think this will end up being a better draft than people give it credit for, except for maybe the QB position.

I'm glad that our packers got him I did pull his passport auto out of prestige. But I usually collect QB's and there's no good ones this year

I think I might start opening hockey too. I've been a blackhawks fan for a long time cuz they're the only hockey team close to wisconsin lol. I've always just bought blackhawks singles but I've never bought a hockey box.... who are the good rookies to look for?

2013 seems to be doing quite well for Defense collectors, and well are filling quite quickly in my box breaks. Yes overall disappointing, but guys like Geno Smith, E.J. Manuel, Manti T'eo are still getting some nice hobby love. Not to mention running backs Giovanni Bernard, Eddie Lacy and Marcus Lattimore.

I gotta admit i'm not too hyped about this class. Waiting to see what my boy Burkhead does in Cincy but Giovani is no joke. Thinking about working more basketball with the double draft class.

that's ironic, because this coming year's football picks are slim, but this past year's hockey boxes didn't have much in terms of rookies because of the strike.

RE: Anyone else disappointed?
look at it this way, Wilson was a later round pick, and so were other great players of the past so I'm just gonna sit back and what some of the picks from the 3rd and 4th round that I think might emerge into star rookies.
