[quote=SkinzWin;778732]I was just saying that because I had just said take Von Miller at 10 and Ponder or Dalton later in the draft a few posts earlier. I know you have your own independent conclusions. I wasn't trying to be rude, just joking.[/quote]

Sorry, not a copycat, just a poor reader. But you and I agree, brother. :)

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
 

[quote=Lotus;778728]How am I a copy cat? I know SS mentioned Ponder before but I have since done my own "independent" research and come to a similar "independent" conclusion. Or did you say something that I missed?

Here's my mock draft right now, which I could not have copy catted:
1 Von Miller OLB Texas A&M
2 Christian Ponder QB Florida State
5 Ryan van Bergen DE Michigan
5 Phil Taylor NT Baylor
6 Clint Boling OG Georgia
7 Graig Cooper RB Miami
7 Johnny Brown S Mississippi[/quote]

yeah never mind that I said a few weeks ago I thought we'd take Miller in the first round (though the buzz is Locker, and the behind the scenes buzz is Quinn)

You are a copycatter! :)

Re: 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.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
 

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.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
 

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.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
 

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.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
 

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.... :cussing:

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.
