PFW: Carolina seeks second-round pick By Nolan Nawrocki

[Lout]

I am not sure if this Nawrocki guy has a legit source or not, but interestingly enough, Mike Mayock just stated on Path to the Draft that he thinks Hurney is trying to trade down.. with all this Cam Newton buzz all of a sudden. He is trying to get someone like the Bills to bite. And Mayock thinks we like a defensive player.. take it fwiw. it's not Dareus or Miller.. so I am guessing Peterson. Hurney must think he can get a DT with a high 2nd rounder... maybe Phil Taylor or Marvin Austin.. it's all speculation, but it's interesting coming from Mayock.

times are different...we can no longer take the safe route marty and jerry know this...this article is complete speculation

Why because it doesn't say we are taking your buddy Cam?

#1 picks need to be blue chip players, and Newton is not one of them.

[Jackofalltrades]

Father died when he was 8.

Nearly lost his mother shortly after

Lived with a surrogate family.

Combine that with the agent thing and you might think he's easily influenced or distracted. Compared to Dan Wilkinson and Darrell Russell. Just needs to structure in his life and some guidance.

According to Dareus he never spoke to an agent, he took a trip to Miami with a friend and an agent paid for the ticket, unknown to him.

Dareus is a freak, just watched Game Changers on NFLN with Dareus, A Smith, Coach Mooch and Sapp.

Mooch and Sapp both came away impressed and I pray we draft Dareus, kid is going to be special.

RIGHT! Kinda like Tressell didn't know a thing.

Just kidding I heard he did a good job. Even if he did snitch on Austin.

the 2nd quote could very well be accurate because it was allegedly from an inside source, the 1st one, well, really what would a rival executive know about Hurney's true intentions

What one says and what one does can be two completely different things. You still have much to learn young padawan.

Most folks in Buffalo are convinced they are going defense not offense. They had the worse defense against the run and like Fitzpatrick. With the Buffalo owner saying he doesn't like one year wonders I doubt that if they were interesting in tradiing up they would be acting as if they don't want Newton. Sure you could say that by them acting disinterested, they are drivng down the price but that assumes we really want to trade the pick and would have no other suitors. Plus we wouldn't really care who they say they want with the pick as long as the price is right. If we trade down from 1 to 3 we have to be ready to pick our 3rd most favorite guy.

As for Mayock he was wrong on 2/3rd of his picks in the first round last year. Not exactly enough to take to the bank.

Mike Mayock hasn't put out a mock draft for 5 years, so I would love to know where you got your 2/3rd stat?
