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)

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
