My parents are good friends with someone in particular who works within the Panthers organization, and I was told as of today from this source that he can guarantee we will be selecting Newton in the draft. Anyways...figured this news was worth sharing :cool:

My Dad goes to church with a guy that knows the dude that used to mow Jerry Richardson's lawn. But that's irrelevant. I have a friend that works a concession stand in BofA stadium who has grown pretty close with a security guard who is the cousin of Marty Hurney's daughter-in-law. But that's irrelevant.

I went to an astrologist the other day and she said that the Panthers will indeed draft Cam Newton, so I agree with your first person fact-based prediction.

No reason to believe or disbelieve this statement so I'll just choose to believe it bc that's what I've been saying all along. If we stay at 1 it has to be newton...if we trade down (which I'm sure is still on the table) then I could see us forego a QB altogether.

What?

I can give you a name and position if you would like (however im not sure if this person would want me doing so), but i assure you this information is legit.

Gah. What a waste of a #1 overall pick.

Can't believe they're doing this.

Anybody they choose is a waste bc no one is considered good enough at the right position to warrant the pick. So you go biggest need vs biggest upside and biggest impact...and no one can deny that fits Newton perfectly.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
