ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft

SS, any buzz on going a different defensive direction at #10 than OLB?

What I'm thinking is that Cameron Jordan could be a Pro Bowler at 3-4 DE. We could take Jordan at #10 perhaps. Then we would have potential Pro Bowlers at each level of the defense.

When you look at the defense horizontally, Miller or Quinn make sense. But if you look at the defense vertically, a DE like Jordan makes sense.

We need to look at the defense diagonally...haven't heard anything recently.

Warpath Plug: Matt Bowen will be attending the Senior Bowl and afterward we'll hold a Q & A with him about who drew the Redskins interest and what he thinks we should do. Stay tuned for that.

Sweet! Can't wait for that. The last Q&A was a good one.

Is it a coincidence Cam Newton co-signed Bus Cook and this company as his agents?!

What's the coincidence?

The co-company hired is D.C. area based agency... I'm sure it's nothing, but just thought it was interesting.

Found this little nugget on the Skins blog. Doesn't sound like too many sports columnists are pro Newton. I can't really say I disagree either.

Just one cautious word when it comes to selecting Newton: PROJECT!

Are we conceding that Michael Vick's early years are the way to go? Kyle's offense is too structure for the likes of Cam Newton - the one look QB.

A team drafting Cam Newton will have to take him as is and not try to reinvent him. Our offense dictates that we stick with the drop back/make the reads QB.

I am now in the Pro Cam Newton bus. He remindes me so much of Big Ben that it isn't funny. I would like that styled QB behind center in DC.

IMO it's not.

Well with all the speculative fan driven rumors in the media nowadays I thought I had a real shot to get some face time. AP Wire: Redskins message board member uncovers story Cam Newton wants to join Skins team after signing DC based agent. We have the exclusive interview next. That could have been me, and now you've just ruined it....

I see. Well Perennial was already repping his brother anyway, wouldn't read too much into it

Sometimes its just fun to speculate for no particular reason at all.

Newton may be an extremely gifted athlete, but I think it's a simple decision. Reach for Cam Newton at #10 or wait until next year and draft T Pryor of Ohio State in the 4th round. They are almost indentical in size -both gifted runners that can escape defenders and torch you for big gains. Pryor is a more polished passer and has started 3 bowl games with his Sr. Season only to get better. Pryor faces a 5 game suspension for selling memorabilia so his draft stock may be on the low end.

I think him getting suspended was stupid. It was given to him. I would think it was mine and do what I wanted with it too. Who the hell gives someone something and then punishes them for selling it?!
