2027 Rookie Class - Living Up to the Hype so Far?

The 2027 class has been talked about for a couple years now as potentially one of the stronger dynasty classes we've seen, particularly at WR and QB.

Now that we're far enough into the college season to have some actual data, how do people who follow the prospects closely feel about the class?

Has it generally performed up to expectations? Any players who have meaningfully raised or lowered their stock? And more broadly, does this still look like the deep/high-end class people were projecting it to be, or has some of the hype cooled?

Not looking for pick values or trade advice. Mostly curious how the class itself is developing compared to the expectations coming into the season.

Would you become a teacher if you could do it all over again?

I've been seriously thinking about becoming a teacher and would love some honest perspectives from people actually doing the job.

I'm 32 and currently make about $100k/year in a low cost-of-living area. On paper, it's a great job, but I've realized I value time with my family and a schedule that aligns with my kids much more than maximizing my income.

I have three young children, and it feels like I'm missing some of the best years of their lives because of a rigid 9-5 with very little time off. My wife has a great career and earns about $120k, so we could realistically absorb a pay cut if it meant a better quality of life.

I've always enjoyed being around kids, and I genuinely think I'd enjoy teaching. The schedule, summers, holidays, and the opportunity to have a meaningful impact all appeal to me.

That said, when I read online, it seems like many teachers are burned out and trying to leave the profession. Is that because Reddit naturally attracts people who need to vent, or is that a fair reflection of what teaching is actually like today?

If you could go back, would you become a teacher again? And if someone in my position asked whether it was worth making the switch, what would you tell them?
