EDIT: I forgot Wilcox. Obvious miss.

I thought Hurst would be good so no surprise there.

I thought Perine was fine last year (screen pass TD vs Chiefs) but he has been better than I thought, partucularly receiving.

Pratt was great in the POs last year, but I did not know if it was a blip or not. No blip. He leveled up.

Irwin has been a fantastic surprise, filling in for Tee and Chase. He is a fine WR4 and I hope he sticks around. Not really a guy I'd want as a starter, though.

I thought we were screwed when Chido got hurt. Have not lost a game since. CTB & Apple deserve a ton of credit. Apple's raw numbers may be a bit down, but not much. CB1 is a step up from CB2. I wanted Woolen or Marcus Jones and thought CTB was a Round 3 guy. Not a huge fan of the trade up to get him. However, I get it. Excellent vs the run, great athlete, but a bit raw in coverage. He has been all those things, but has also made some great plays (saved 2 TDs last week).

Volson has been bumpy but I thought it would be far worse. There isxa player in there, I think.

We got Tufele off the street when DT/NT was decimated by injuries, and I expected nothing. We got more than that & he played his way onto the roster.

I forgot Wilcox, who has been serviceable. Still think he is TE3, though.

Good call on Tufele....sure didn't think he would be much just coming off his couch.

Lots of great names in this thread and agree with most of them being pleasant surprises.
