As we revel in the glory of beating the Steelers, I thought it might be interesting to see how some of this year's draft class is doing so far this season.
#1 overall pick Matt Stafford, Lions:
Two games into the season, he is in the basement of the NFL with a 40.5 QB Rating. Including the preseason, has thrown 9 INTs in 14 quarters.
#3 overall pick Tyson Jackson, Chiefs:
Held out due to contract disputes until August 7th, when he signed a 5 year/ $57 million contract with $31 million guaranteed. Has registered 1 tackle so far this season.
#12 overall pick Knowshon Moreno, Broncos:
Injured before the regular season kicked off, but was able to see the field by week 1. Has 94 yards on 25 attempts thus far into the season (3.8 avg).
#22 overall pick Percy Harvin, Vikings:
He is the team's leading receiver, with 8 receptions for 88 yards and 2 TDs. Has stayed healthy so far.

And all of those high-profile WRs that everyone was clamoring about this past offseason (Darrius Hayward-Bey, Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Britt, etc,)... well, the leading rookie WR in the NFL right now, who is also the #15 WR in all of the NFL, is 5th round selection Johnny Knox, with 8 catches for 152 yards and a TD.
