Would Gettleman have drafted Cam?

[frash.exe]

You think the giants would've traded for Eli if Jerry Reese was the general manager?

[Car123]

Kiper, Kiper, Walterfootball citing Kiper and a DC reporter who has a nose tackle from Baylor as the sixth best pick?

Just a sample size.

These are media big boards. The same people who slandered cams name leading up to the draft.

I highly doubt he was anything outside the top ten on actual scouting departments big boards.

Newton is actually 10th in your second link, and 11th in the first.

 

Link three is a draft website and number four is pre-combine.

 

And as Frizzy mentioned, everyone you're citing is media.  Actual NFL team boards tend to be a lot different.

Actually, I don't think Gettleman would have drafted Cam.

 

But, in his support, I *do* think that he's very knowledgeable and understands what he has in Cam *now*.

But thats really all that matters. Last year seriously proved just how off base the media is compared to what teams are thinking.

Its skewed further in cams scenario due to the slander.

Honestly, there probably was a good chance DG would have gone a different direction. It is obvious now that Cam was the clear choice but back then with limited knowledge what he could do in the pros it was probably too risky. 

 

Keep in mind DG wants a pure pocket passer like Manning or Brady because ultimately the QB needs to be a great passer. Coming out of college there were alot of issues regarding throwing mechanics, his high release, inaccuracy, etc  Given all these facts I think he would have gone with AJ Green or DL. 

 

I was honestly a little surprised that we drafted Cam. He was projected to go mid 1st so I was shocked when he went 1st. I was excited and scared with the pick.

Newton didn't impress in the combine so he probably didn't shoot up.

Anyway these lists show Newton wasn't the consensus number 1 many here seem to think.

In the media.

 

It's a pretty big jump to go from that to saying he wasn't in the top ten among actual NFL decision makers.
