Less than 12 hours away. Discuss.

i want jimmy smith to fall to the ravens in the first and then i want them to get a deep threat burner in the 2nd round.

it's a shame that they aren't allowing players to be traded before or during the draft, but it could add a lot more excitement with people trading up/down to fill needs.

[PrepFootball]

Panthers would be very stupid to take Scam first... we'll see.

and Jimmy Smith will not fall out of 1st round, shouldn't.

[Mr.Cooper69]

Jimmy Smith to the Eagles puh-leazeee!

Can't have Patterson ruining our postseason again.

[TMac26]

Its shame but the Panthers are probably going to take Cam Cheaton.



I would be more impressed if they took AJ Green or Marcell Darius.


They have a HUGE need at WR and DT.

Especially with Steve Smith leaving (they said he cleaned out his locker yesterday)

If they don't take AJ Green or Julio Jones I will be very disappointed in the Panthers upper management.


Esp. now

don't want him to fall out of first... want him to fall to the ravens first pick at 26. hoping he slips passed the eagles...

[rukkus]

i think that the panthers might take peterson at #1, which would send aj to bengals at 4.

[Robboe]

I am usually pretty good at guessing draft picks, but this year i don't even know where to begin.

Would be safer to say that Blaine Gabbart is going to to the Bengals more so than a WR. Carson Palmer has made it pretty clear he is not going to suit up for them ever again. Unless he is traded for another QB, I would expect retirement papers to be filed.

Highly doubt they take a WR at #1, especially without a QB to throw him the ball. They won't have a system to even implement with what they have now. Chudzinski is a great OC, IMO, but he needs something to build on, not saying Cam is the right pick, but it gives them a direction. He (Chudz) has great knowledge of the run game and uses TE's very well so I expect them to run the ball and play the nickle and dime game similar to what Vick did in his early years with the Falcons. Stewart/Williams/Goodson are a great trio of backs they have (whether they all remain is another story) and would definitely complement the skills that Newton has.

In other news, Pats looking to move up to #4.. hoping it is to go after Peterson.

Clausen has the mechanics to be a good QB. He just had to deal with a swiss cheese O-Line, no run game, and no one to throw to.


Cam Newton is going to be a bust, he is gonna TRY and run like he did in college and get smoked. At least Tim Tebow is willing to improve himself, Cam is too arrogant to think anything is wrong with how he plays.



Pats with #4 is dangerous.

[rukkus]

i dunno.. i think they'd be better off grabbing green in the first and dalton in the second if he's still around. who knows though, i'm def not a bengals fan and enjoy seeing them play poorly.

i'm just glad palmer is on the way out considering he seems to light up the ravens every chance he gets.

I don't think Dalton will be around in the second. Someone will take a chance on him.



Jake Locker would be a better pick for the Bengals @ QB.

[drooks10]

The best thing for the Panthers would be to somehow get a trade package with the Eagles for Kevin Kolb.

I'm just hoping my Falcons pick up a good defensive end or linebacker.

Mechanics mean nothing when you can't make something on your own. He doesn't bring anything to the table that is a game changer. His decision making, mobility, size, intangibles are all poor at best. The kid has been hyped up since he was a Junior in HS and hasn't lived up to anything. Clausen is the one who is thought to be arrogant, Newton is almost a complete 180 of Clausen as far as skill set and demeanor.

I don't understand the hate from most people towards Cam, if it is because he had received funds from schools it should be no shock. I would say 90+% of D1 athletes receive improper benefits to some degree, he is just in the limelight because of his ability.

Newton adds a huge element to the game. I don't think he will be drafted because a team thinks they will morph him into a passing QB. But, I am sure they think he will be able to win games and let the game come to him rather than always trying to make the hero play.

Carolina has great backs, but it is easy to clog the line when you have no one who can throw the ball, 9 TD passes is atrocious (3 came from the Hback and RB position). They already signed Shockey (who Chudz had at Miami) so I am sure he is looking to do what he did there with Portis, McGahee, and Davenport. Vick never had good receivers down in ATL, but could hand the ball off and be a threat on PA Plays and Spread sets, I am sure they are going to do something to mimic that. I'd be shocked if they didn't draft Newton because they would end up with the #1 again next season.

[JH34PG]

would you guys consider this years draft class weak?

[joakman]

would you guys consider this years draft class weak?

I would say weak in skill players, but overall pretty solid with the good amount of interior players coming out.

agreed on Clausen, he is terrible...yet he has this incredible sense of entitlement.

Cam's biggest issue at the next level is going to be his lack of knowledge, both general and football...knowing plays, reading defenses etc. I have huge doubts that he can be a successful QB in the NFL...but he is certainly going to be given a chance to prove me (and many others) wrong.

Agreed on all accounts. He probably had to know only about 40-50 plays in college. Now that is going to be what he will have to learn on a week to week basis and then know when he will have to actually read a defense. He will be in trouble if he can't figure out how to look off safeties and move onto his 2nd and 3rd options down the field. I highly doubt that if he starts right away though that he will average more than 20 or so passes a game.

Excited to see what happens to my high school friend Andre Smith, #88 Vtech.

Gabbert won't make it past Buffalo at 3. Neither would Newton. Carolina has to take Newton simply because it's the GMs last chance at saving the organization. The three other teams in the division have become incredibly competitive, and Carolina needs a QB that can compre to Brees, Ryan and Freeman.

Gabbert would be a great pick IMO. He'll have a bigger impact now than Cam Newton, esp since he is gonna need at least a season to develop.

Buffalo is going DT...Dareus or Fairley (most likely Dareus) IMO

i agree and still think bengals are taking green instead of a qb w/ their first pick. gabbert will end up in SF.

bill belichick + a ton of draft picks = pats raping next year. hoping they are smart and pick up a few pass rushers

im happy with the offense............deff. gonna need some O-linemen real soon, those guys are getting pretty old.......the woodhead/green-ellis running combo is amazing, gronkowski is a fawking beast and a half, hernandez is gonna be nasty......and c'mon, tom brady.


but the D-line needs work..........wilfork cant do all the work by himself.......LB core is a good mix of vets/young guys, be nice to see how they progress from last year

[Outside backer]
