10. Lane Johnson Eagles RT-  Johnson has had a up and down rookie season so far but is clearly the best tackle picked so far with Eric Fisher and Joeckel suffering from injuries. He has dominated some pretty good pass rushers, but has also struggled to defend guys like Shaun Phillips and Justin Houston. His athleticism has been a perfect fit in Chip Kelly's offense. 

9. Deandre Hopkins Texans WR- Arguably the best WR so far in his rookie season ( See Robert Woods) has filled the spot opposite Andre Johnson very well. His big size and great hands highhandedly won the Texans there match up vs the Titans. 
  

8. Dee Milliner Jets CB- Has had a rocky season and was in Rex Ryan's dog house early in the year but has rebounded fantastically and is playing some pretty awesome shut down corner. He is a product of the Jets incredible defense but has held his own and replaced #24 pretty well so far. 

7. Barkevious Mingo OLB Browns- The 6th overall pick has been a force for Cleveland and has shown some impressive coverage skills as well. He currently has 17 tackles and 3 sacks. Mingo has shown off his speed and athleticism, he is proving his size is not a factor and will be a force for the rest of the year. 

6. Ezekiel Ansah DE Lions- The 5th overall pick was questioned as a high pick as he was very raw coming out of BYU only playing one season of football. Well he is showing he belongs in this game. Ansah currently has 16 tackles and 3 sacks, but not only that, he has 2 forced fumbles. The Lions defense struggled with turnovers last season, but is getting a big boost from this first round stud that most said would be a ....dud. 

5. Sheldon Richardson DT Jets- Richardson was questioned when drafted over Floyd and Lotlelei but is proving to be the right guy for the Jets defense. He has some impressive numbers with 36 total tackles and 2.5 sacks

4. EJ Manuel QB Bills- The only QB taken in the first round is out for 6 weeks but was having a pretty solid rookie year. He led the Bills to a 2-2 record before getting injured and had some impressive numbers for not throwing the football a lot. 985 yards 5 touchdowns and 3 INTS. Good stats for a rookie. He will need to get healthy quick if the Bills want to save their season. Manuel has looked worthy of his 16th overall pick and he is a personal favorite. He also showed some clutchness (If that is a word) against the Panthers as I attended that game I saw a comb and composed rookie who led down the field and scored a game winning touchdown throw to Stevie Johnson.

3. Kenny Vaccaro Saints S- The Safety has made the Saints into one of the best defenses in the league. He never misses tackles and is all over the ball. I really liked this kid out of Texans and with 33 tackles and 1 interception, the Saints got a gem. 

2. Alec Ogletree LB Rams- His character was questioned, but again for the second year in a row Jeff Fisher took a chance on a talented yet troubled player....and it has payed off again. Ogletree has 46 combined tackles, 3 forced fumbles, and a pick six. He currently is all over the field in coverage as well. Plus a dominating force against the run. This kid is a stud....not a dud.

1. Eric Reid S 49ers- San Fran moved up to get this guy and just ask them how much they love this kid. Replacing Dashon Goldson in a loaded defense has actually made Reid a better player. With quarterbacks testing him, he has made the most of the ball coming his way as he leads the 49ers in intereptions. Not to mention his 5 deflected balls, and his 27 tackles to go along with his 3 interceptions.

The entire off season consisted of the headlines going into the season talking about the rise of the new young quarterbacks. Some with the read option hype, and others of the classical QB. Now which ones have been the most impressive in the first quarter of the season?  Lets find out with the first ever addition of the Dime's list!

10. Geno Smith- It has been a roller coaster start to the rookies season. At 2-2, he has the Jets in a good place and is showing good things down field but is forcing too many throws. He has far too many ints with 8 to his 4 tds. 

9. Andy Dalton- Dalton has reached his ceiling. He has been unbelievably inconsistent but with AJ Green, he has been pretty productive still. Dalton has some underrated mobility and at 2-2, he has beaten two good teams yet lost two games that were completely his fault. 

8. EJ Manuel- The first QB taken in this years draft has the Bills at .500 and is showing a major clutch gene that you really need in the NFL. Every game the Bills have been in have been decided by only a single score and beating the Panthers and Ravens, and only losing to the Patriots and Jets by 7 and 3 is a very good sign. Manuel has only thrown 3 picks but with only 5 touchdowns, he is part of a conservative offense. Manuel's mobility has kept plays alive and is looking like the better between he and Geno...besides Geno beating EJ of course.

7. Terrell Pryor- I love this kid, yes his passing abilities are growing and may not be as good as some of these other guys. And yes the Raiders are extremely bad but he knows how to play street ball. Keeping plays alive with his legs is the name of his game. 

6. Robert Griffin iii- I am sorry but this diva is irritating to here about. Alright I just showed my Eagles side of me but RG3 is struggling. After 4 weeks the Redskins are 1-3 but you can see RG3 coming back from that injury with his play. He is stepping into his throws more as well as getting more runs as the weeks go by. 

5. Cam Newton- At 1-2 the Panthers are not in as bad of a situation as you would think. Cam has been keeping the Panthers in games and should be optimistic. Newton has been slinging it down field and is showing great awareness in the pocket and of course can move with those big legs of his. One thing I have noticed though this season with Cam (And other Mobile Quarterbacks) is that Shula has slowly moved away from the read option. It isn't as big of a part of the offense as it was with Rob Chudzinski and it may be due to the fact that they don't want to put Newton in harms way. Newton looks pretty good in his junior year so far. 

4. Colin Kaepernick- Kaep has struggled so far this year and the way defenses have been able to contain the read option may be effecting Kaepernick more than any other duel threat quarterback. At 2-2, the 49ers aren't panicking and neither is Kaepernick. Colin is showing some great pocket passing this season which is only going to improve as the season continues.  

3. Jake Locker- Alright settle down this list is based on how well these kids have played in the first 4 weeks. Your telling me Locker hasn't been better than these guys? The Titans are at 3-1 and Locker has been absolutely gun slinging. Also showing clutch gene against the Chargers with the go ahead td to win the game to Justin Hunter. Locker's mobility has been another huge part of the Titans offense. With the injury sidelining Locker for a few weeks, I expect the offense to struggle because of the lack of the duel threat. Locker has also been spreading the football around tremendously. 

2. Andrew Luck- Luck has been sensational again, I would say he is number 1 but you will find out why he isn't soon. Luck has been leading that offense to huge games statistically and with the addition of Trent Richardson, the balance is going to take the pressure off Luck and allow him to continue to make big throws down field. 

1. Russell Wilson- Wilson is plain and simply balling. At 4-0 Wilson as been taking the Seahawks to new heights with his arm but also being able to extend plays is why he is one of the best QBs in the NFL right now.
