Y’all quick to post negative Newton news.

It's not even news. Lol. Just speculation from some random reporter with a pretty interesting "Incidents" section on Wikipedia.

In May 2017 Breer dismissed widely reported allegations that baseball player Adam Jones was the target of racist taunts by fans at Fenway Park because, according to Breer "I've probably been to 200 games at Fenway in my life. Never heard a slur yelled at a player."[6]

In 2017 Breer repeatedly defended NFL front offices against allegations of "blackballing" Colin Kaepernick for his decision to protest the national anthem.[7]

He's not the only person mentioning this.

I guess breer never heard them call anyone a cracker, so he did not consider it a slur. 

If Mac Jones is the starter in NE it is because he was handed the job. He is not an alpha that goes out and wins a job.

He's not the only person what? Speculating? Lol. Maybe should have led with one of those guys instead of the guy who was banned by the NFL Network from covering the Patriots. Regardless it's not newsworthy and didn't deserve its own topic here. Unsourced and uninteresting. A waste of time for everyone.

I actually think it's gonna be fascinating to watch whether Jones succeeds or fails.

Mind you, I'm more comfortable knowing that particular experiment is happening somewhere other than here.

I definitely share your viewpoint on that. I dont think Mac Jones is ever going to be anything other than average at best. 

NE fans think he is the next tom brady, but he is more likely to be the next Case Keenum.

There are reports from Yahoo Sports and other sources that the Patriots were "blown away" by Mac Jones at their rookie minicamp.

Take it for what it's worth.

Yeah I believe the same was said for Lance and Fields. Haven’t read much about Wilson. His mother’s social media has been more of a story than he has been.

Horn might end up being a great CB, but ultimately whether or not he was a good pick is going to hinge on what happens at the QB position. If Darnold flops while Fields and/or Jones go on to become legit franchise QBs... oh wee mayne.

I dont think that has anything to do with it. Those teams run different systems, there is no guarantee either of them would succeed here, even if they succeed somewhere else. 

Using that same logic how many of our picks have been "bad picks"?

CMC? Luke? Where do you draw the line?

Luke and CMC were arguably the best positionally in the NFL by year 3.  
 

If Horn is arguably the best DB in the NFL by year 3? It won’t matter what what anyone else does.   He will be a good pick.   

but like RB, LB….a DB has minimal ability to lift a bad or okay team into something else.  And that will likely be talked about occasionally.  As it has been with CMC, Luke, etc at times.    That of course, would require subpar and inconsistent QB play to remain in Carolina for those discussions to pop up though.

It's worth debate. RB and off the ball LB are relatively low value positions. There's a good argument for never drafting either in the top 10.

He won't be a good pick if we don't solve the QB problem while one of the QBs we passed on flourishes. If you don't have a QB you can't compete.

I don’t think a team should ever spend a first round pick on a RB or sign one to a big deal.  Big picture.

I can agree with the positional values, but you cannot say every player we picked was a bad pick because some QB we passed on turns out to be a good qb.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
