Player comparison Lafell v Gettis

This lock out has seriously driven me insane I am getting desperate for some offseason action - but to cure my boredom I started considering the Panthers draft haul from last year in particular the three WR's selected, Brandon Lafell, David Gettis and Armanti Edwards and it got me wondering who is going to have the best NFL career, especially considering the fact that with Steve Smith potentially leaving in 2011 it is possible that Lafell and Gettis may both start.

Would love to know your thoughts on the topic and any other thoughts on the draftees from last season

Personally I think Edwards is unlikely to ever make a valuable contribution at the NFL level thats why I limited the comparison to specifically Lafell and Gettis.

From what I saw last year I think Gettis is going to have the stronger career - as a 6th round pick he saw more starts than Lafell and gained more yards. I also think that Gettis displays a level of toughness not matched by Lafell which will be invaluable if Carolina ends up starting two second year wide receivers to support rookie Cam Newton.

I guess this also really opens up the question of which of all of the 2010 draft class is going to have the best NFL career
