Carolina Panthers considering taking Newton or Bowers with the first pick, Cam will have to prove he's the guy and do well with the media and attention leading up to the draft

uhh. Title is misleading. sources close to a draft organization called Draft Headquarters are claiming this. Sure, they're saying it's coming from the Panthers, but the article text itself specifically reads:

According to sources close to Draft Headquarters, the Carolina Panthers have one name in mind that they are hoping to use the first overall draft choice on in the 2011 NFL Draft. That name is Auburn quarterback Cam Newton.

this is the same quote that has been passed around for some time, it's nothing new.

“At this point, no player has proven that they are worth the first overall pick. However, the Carolina Panthers are hoping that Cam Newton can prove that he is worthy of the pick.”

I do think that Cam is the most intriguing player in the draft when it comes to pure talent. However, he also has huge bust potential.

I'm not listening to any rumors at this point. I've followed this sport right long enough to know that all of the "information" available at this point regarding teams' draft boards is likely misinformation. No one wants to show their hand before they get to the podium.

Calling Draft Headquarters "an organization" is being generous. It's essentially just a guy with a website. And they have no connection whatsoever with the Panthers.

The source is just reprinting an article from that website, and one that's already been posted here previously.

So much for the scoop :sosp:

I hope this is true.....

Cam's got so much potential... and he seems like he's got great work ethic.

I think he'll work as hard as he has to in order to be successful.

You would think. Although some teams the past few years have just decided to get right to the chase and begin negotiations with their number one pick selection before the draft even starts. Damn spoiler when that happens.

Hurney is probably paying people to say we're interested in taking 8 different guys at #1 so he can trade the pick.

Draft Headquarters credibility = Bruce Pearl's integrity

I don't think you need to pay different media outlets to create a mock draft.

Yeah, FO would let something like that slip.
