If they really are running a smokescreen, maybe they see this as the last chance to try to sell other teams on them taking Newton.

Following this line of thought, the reason they have run the Newton smokescreen is because they decided early on that he was the player other teams would be most likely to trade up for.

In any case, it will be a fun week for fans.

Fun?? I feel like may avatar baby.

what are the chances that they state they've made a decision? and feel confident?

that would be the best news to me

I don't see it. If they did this and someone called up Wednesday with a blockbuster deal, the team would either have to backtrack and resell someone else, or stick with the pick while turning down a better option.

In reality, I don't think we will be able to trade down unless we give it away. But why short circuit that possibility?

There is no other reason we wouldn't have announced the pick right now except for the fact that we are desperately trying to trade down. Once we announce who we are planning on taking, the list of potential trade partners dwindles from 32 to 4 or 5. If we announced at this press conference we intend to take Cam Newton and ended up lying (for smokescreen purposes), I don't think it would be perceived well by fans or the media.

A. No one wants the #1 pick because of the ridiculous salary it will be bring.

B. No one wants the #1 pick because of what they'll have to give up to get it.

C. A huge reason they aren't going to announce their decision is because of the Draft Party. Not to mention I as a fan would rather be filled with excitement and curiosity as Goodell heads for the podium.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
