[Highlandfire]

Gabbert to Carolina at #1. Says he is sick of weak offenses in Carolina :D

I'll take it!!

[Mr. Scot]

Hope not.

[monstercat]

I could live with that.

Smoke screen??

[MHS831]

I hope not. Happy feet, dances and will not step up in the pocket. Seems to me that he got a lot of three-man rushes (in the Illinois game) and the ends were attacking from the outside. Three linemen blocked the nose. He didn't step up most of the time, and started running from the DEs. He is a lower first round talent, IMO.

Smoke screen??

Hmmm...maybe it was the Panthers that told everybody he was great on the white board. Let the offers roll in!!:D

[Mr. Scot]

Smoke screens come from team statements. Not mock drafts.

[monstercat]

Well I'm confused. I've been told that the smokescreen was that the Panthers leaked that Cam Newton was perfect in his private interview, but Rivera had already said good things about him in public anyway, so what was the point, and how are you going to fool teams that have already interviewed him anyway and knew exactly how he did?

Or is that what we want you to think???

Addressing in a separate thread.

ugh, PASS. I hate that nowadays it's dumb to take anything BUT a quarterback even if the quarterback class is as weak as this one. next year the best quarterback prospect in this draft would probably be the 5th+ QB taken.

[The Saltman]

Do

not

want

And that's another thing. I've been told over and over that there is no clear cut #1 pick, yet I'm supposed to believe that we're engineering this brilliant smokescreen in order to get somebody to give us some of their draft picks for one of these players? I just don't buy it.
