NFL Draft rumors: Post-Combine

[pantherfan81]

• Following the Combine, the word I received from a number of scouts is that because of his workout, Alabama’s Julio Jones now likely will be the number one overall wideout off the board over Georgia’s A.J. Green.

• Even with the rise of Alabama DT Marcell Dareus, all the scouts I have talked with still think Auburn DT Nick Fairley is the better NFL prospect.

• Talked to a couple of sources who said they have UCLA FS Rahim Moore graded out as nothing higher than a 3rd-round pick.

• The more scouts I discuss Auburn QB Cam Newton with the more they are afraid of not only his off the field character, but the overall posse he could ultimately end up coming into the league with. They raised the concern of just how committed to football he will be and who in his camp could ultimately keep him distracted from developing. -Wes Bunting

Interesting tidbits.

Julio Jones ate AJ green's lunch at the combine on a hurt foot.......but his hands are very questionable

[Murph]

I've heard the same character concerns about Jimmy Smith. He didn't do well in interviews.

[stirs]

he has a goofy mock

if "the word he rec'd" reflects anything, it is that he wants attention.

Cam Newton will most likely not go top ten. Von Miller will not make it past AZ and PP will not be around at 8.

The play for play talk sure as hell didn't distract Cam this past season haters gone hate...the news on him is so inconsistent.

[Mr. Scot]

Bunting can hardly be called a hater. He's previously had Newton going number one in his mocks.

Previously being the keyword there.

Some top notch smokescreening there from Hurney...

Actually that was post combine, & is current.

1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn

It’s rare to find a quarterback with Newton’s physical skill set, and in a quarterback- driven league I have a tough time seeing the Panthers go in any other direction other than a signal caller.

Cam Newton is this years Jimmy Clausen. They dont question the skill set just his leadership. TBH though I trust Hurney and if he picks Cam I know he will be great. If he does not pick Cam then I know he had major issues.

Interesting indeed.

I think the Fairley vs Dareus comparison is much like the Newton vs Gabbert debate. One is a safer, yet less dynamic pick. Fairley and Newton have higher ceilings than their counterparts, but both also have lower floors, they're both your typical boom or bust candidates.

[Mr. Scot]

Related note: I like Fairley, but the comparisons I've setn to Ndamakong Suh are off the mark.

if there is any chance Rivera wants to eventually transition to a 3-4 wouldn't that make Dareus a more likely pick since he's bigger body than Fairley?
