Kiper has Newton at #14, Fairley #1

[Mother Grabber]

and what a crock of poo that was:nopity:

Yeah, he didn't get picked until the second round!

[nagai]

Yeah lol Kiper's only good as a reflection of what the media thinks. When it comes to actual accuracy, he's no good. It's safe to say that Fairley did go up in draft boards though, even if I don't want him.

I don't think Fairley is a 1. But Newton 13 spots down from wherever Fairley is is probably close to accurate.

If Fairley isn't a 1, who is? Green and Bowers are not more talented at their positions than Fairley. They're maybe equal. Who goes 1 is a matter of preference at this point.

At this point I would be equally happy with Green, Bowers, or Fairley. The first would solidify our WR core into the next decade post 89 era and give whoever our QB is in the future very solid weapons to work with. The last two would upgrade our defense immediately and hopefully give us a huge push up front. It's all up to JR, Hurney and co., and Rivera.

It's tough to say but it's hard saying we can go wrong. I just tend to think our offense is in dire need of a playmaker and someone who can make an immediate impact.

In my opinion, if they're thinking about the future: they draft Green. If they're thinking about this year: they draft Fairley.

[Hugor Hill]

At first I wanted us take Luck. that aint happenin. Then I moved on to Newton, but after watching a full game of him playing, nah, no thanks. I think Fairley is our guy.

In my opinion, if they're thinking about the future: they draft Green. If they're thinking about this year: they draft Fairley.

there's a decent amount of truth to this but ultimately I think that either one of them can have a huge, lasting impact on the team.

Well that's why I'd prefer to trade down and compensate for the Edwards fug up.

Either way, Fairley is not Suh.

[KBRed]

Fairley is not worth the #1 pick IMO

But, your sig, Cam Newton is????

[calipanther]

I don't think fairley is as far off from suh as people are saying. I feel he is definitely better than Gerald McCoy was. Suh seemed to be a little more polished but he was a senior last year. I'd be happy with green or fairley though.

[Catalyst]

They'll take the BPA. I still think that's Green, but Fairley has closed the gap somewhat. I still have questions about his attitude/maturity level as an NFL player.

I also think the Steve Smith situation will play heavily into the pick. If he has asked to be traded or if they're considering it anyway, then it has to be Green. Without Smitty there's no chance our offense gets back on track unless we get a guy in there who can fill those shoes and A.J. Green is that kind of play and then some.

If they plan to keep Smith, Fairley is probably the pick. He fills the bigger immediate need, but we're also better overall on defense than we are on offense.

[Cavscout]

Fairley is a beast...

...Cam is over-rated

[JawnyBlaze]

I think I'd love to see the first play of the regular season= Gettis + Lafell to the left, Green to the far right, Smitty in the slot, Deangelo stays back to block. Our division-mates would think it's the twilight zone.
