lol Yeah I was like, who the hell is this guy? I don't mind Cam though (OK, I do, but I mean it's not a bad prediction), I think Gantt would've made the same pick. It sure beats the mocks from Kiper, McShay etc.

Pro Football Weekly has their latest mock out now. It's the first one I've seen that has us taking A J Green.

CSN says that in their 2011 draft guide, PFW draftnik Nolan Nawrocki rips Newton a new one (link)

For the record, I like Nawrocki well enough, but he's not on the level of his predecessor, the late Joel Buchsbaum (nobody is) and I disagree about A J Green.

Wow, those are some strong words regarding personality issues. If these were true, no one would touch him before the late rounds.

Given the amount of interest shown in Newton by teams in the top 10, and given the investigative resources available to teams currently, I find the comments highly suspect.

Unless of course people choose to believe that all interest in Newton is a ruse, and that is difficult to believe as well.

I don't believe it's a ruse. i also don't believe it's as set in stone as some like to think, though.

When Hurney talks about going through the full process before making a decision, he means it. I think Rivera does too.

As to Nawrocki, I've seen him rip some prospects pretty hard before, but can't recall off the top of my head him ripping one as highly regarded and hitting them this hard. Now I'm curious. I'm gonna have to pull out my 2010 PFW Guide and see what he said about some of last year's QB prospects.

I am just wondering...has there ever been this varied a divergence of opinion on a top prospect's personality? Not talking about the laptop stuff or the NCAA stuff, but about how he is perceived by his teammates, his work habits, etc.

Anyone remember a similar case?

There are huge variances of opinion on draft prospects pretty much every year, and contentious debates about who's best are nothing new.

We're only more conscious of it this year because we have the number one pick. People thinking the level of divergence on Newton is something new probably just haven't been paying attention as closely before.

(which is not that shocking; very few people are hardcore draftniks)

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
