I came in near the end of Whitfield talking, missed Hurney saying anything of importance, and only got some of Whitfield, but it's all things we've heard before:

Taken only 20 snaps not under center since the nat'l championship game. Came at the combine. Is working very very hard at working under center. Knows that shotgun gives him a headstart, center is harder to do.

Newton's studied a lot of Brady, Brees, Freeman so he can learn how to read defenses. Watching film on how these guys read defenses to learn.

Cam Newton is still learning what it means to be a good quarterback. Still only 21, so doesn't know all of what a Manning puts in, but with the mentors around him he has learned a lot about that. Warren Moon and Brett Favre have both given him a lot of guidance. Met Freeman, talked at length, is trying to hone in to the preparation aspect... to sustain his career he'll spend the bulk of his career in a film room.

Whitfield compares him to Ben Roethelisberger, not Vince Young. Says at Auburn Newton did a lot of what Ben does with the Steelers by extending plays. Both are closers. Both are size-wise similar; Ben is a hummer, put a spoiler on the hummer and you got Cam Newton, a hummer sport.

George Whitfield is going to be involved at Georgia Pro Day. Involved with Justin Roper. Thinks he's very underrated. Georgia will participate in Georgia's Pro Day (22nd)

Hurney was talking about having the number 1 pick and the preparation for having it. He said that haven't even begun working on on the 3 round yet (whatever that means)

Says that during this time, you don't want to over analyze. They are going to look at the players did on tape and their stats and how they perform this season rather than their combine numbers.

He mentions that teams having picks 1-5, you need to get a position/Impact (Could be either one) player (I think that is what he said.) He also mentioned about finding value in rounds 2-7 and said that is where your depth comes from. He stated that if you get a starter from those rounds, you are doing pretty good.

The host mention Dwayne Jarrett and Eric Shelton and Marty said even the best GMs that draft really well miss sometimes. He said that when you are winning, everyone wants to bring up the picks that you did good on like Williams, Beason, Stewart but when you are doing bad, people will focus on the picks that you missed on.

That's basically it right there.

Perhaps it means that he is more focused on picking up second rounders via trade.

He mentions that teams having picks 1-5, you need to get a position/Impact (Could be either one) player (I think that is what he said.) He also mentioned about finding value in rounds 2-7 and said that is where your depth comes from. He stated that if you get a starter from those rounds, you are doing pretty good.

I think he meant that mid/late rounders are where you find depth and if you get a starter out of there you are doing well. More importantly he talked about the #1 pick and positional value. He said that the league has changed with the emphasis on the passing game. He said there is two ways to combat the passing game:

1. Pressure from the edge - which you means you find an elite pass-rusher.

2. Finding a shutdown corner who can take away one side of the field.

He also pointed out that a cornerback has gone #3 (Shawn Springs, 1997) in the draft and the difference between #3 and #1 is preference. It does appear that taking a CB #1 overall may no longer be taboo.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
