Rank those Rookies

So I'm curious, with a good two months into the angle, where you would rank each member of the Nexus on how much you've seen from them/how much potential do they have? Also, with the start of the angle, has your opinion on any of the talents changed drastically?

My list is as such:

1 - Barrett - Tremendous on the mic, been carrying the angle really, and looks like a superstar
2 - Tarver - Its amazing what a little serious mic time and a bandanna will do for you. I love his look, and his little time on the mic has shown me a lot.
3 - Sheffield - He's looked like a monster, and surprisingly, is very capable of cutting a solid, serious promo on the mic. His size also means he'll have some sort of a future a future in the company.
4 - Gabriel - The "finisher" of the group, I love how he's subtly changed up his look to take on a more heel persona. The 450 is gorgeous, and he's looked solid/has been relatively protected from beatdowns, I just haven't heard him on the mic at all (and from what I remember, thats for good reason.)
5 - Otunga - For a guy who can "pop" so much on the mic, and who finished second in NXT, he really has been a bit player in the whole Nexus stable. I still like his mic work and I see potential in him, but he seems very much out of place being a "lackey."
6 - Darren Young - His biggest achievement has been getting the shit kicked out of him by Cena...what else has he really done that has made him stand out?
7 - Slater - Just naturally a face, and looks completely out of place with the rest of the Nexus.

For me, biggest improvement has been Sheffield...I didn't think much of him at all during NXT, but this new found intensity is working fantastically for his character.
