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)

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This whole thing is sooooooooo dumb, why any of this is an ongoing news story is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who should actually care about this, his wife and her husband. Affairs happen, not that I'm saying it's okay to cheat, but at worst, the only "bad thing" that could be coming around from this affair is that information was passed between them, the same type of info that any coach and journalist who are friends may share with each other to help the other out. The Patriots shouldn't care as long as it doesn't affect his focus on the team.  And those saying that he's lost the locker room and their respect over the "lying" have to be fooling themselves.  Half the players in that locker room are more than likely actively or previously have cheated on their significant other.  So it's not like they're looking at him saying, "what a liar and terrible person, I can't trust him as my coach anymore"

      Seriously?!?! First SNF game of the year and it's two teams that didn't make the playoffs last year? I thought they always made that Week 1 SNF game a banger with two great teams from the previous season. EDIT:  Just looked, last year was Bills-Ravens, previous season was Lions-Rams, Giants-Cowboys ironically before that (but both coming off the playoffs).  From what I can tell, this will be the first time since 2020 that SNF's week 1 game isn't 2 teams from the playoffs the year before, and the Cowboys were in that one too, against the Rams who also didn't make it the year before.
