Mayock's mock is coming tonight at 8.

Really just reenforces that there's no consensus #1, but Dareus is rated above Cam on every board and I'm will to bet that includes ours.

and I will be we still take Cam anyway. =|

LOL. If this isn't a snapshot of the polarization of Cam Newton even amongst experts I don't know what is. Either #4 or #29 :lol:

Cam Newton = Gambling

that explains Tee's love of him. ;)

Yeah but like any gambling venture it is risk v. reward and a hell of a lot of research.

Even after all that you still lose often :(

let's hope we don't lose here. I would rather not have to think, "well at least it only took us three years to recover from that bust." (this is true of any player we pick that busts, not just Cam)

[CatMan72]

Gosselin has Cam ranked as the 6th best player in the draft and the top QB, I can live with that.

Me too. Conversely I would also hate to say "We are still last in the NFC South but at least that guy wasn't a bust.

Basically see my avatar :D

If we draft Cam we still have to address the QB position for 2011 and potentially 2012 - this is why we shouldn't take him. If our front office is content with being bad again this year why not just tank again and get Luck.

I was going to say the same thing. I honestly am not too familiar with this Gosselin guy, but if he truly is one of the more respected evaluators of talent, #6 on the big board for a QB is pretty good. Plenty good for #1 overall. I get the point that there's not many superstars to choose from, pretty much just Green, Miller, Peterson, Dareus, but if Newton really is the 6th best prospect out of this class that's worth #1 overall. And looking at his list, I can't find much to argue with. He even has Gabbert right around where I'd have him.

Because Beason not going to tank. Ron R is not going to tank. It's a bigger risk thinking that you will be in position to get Luck next year.

How many times has the same team had back to Back #1 overall pick?
