I'd rather have Locker or Mallett.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Agreed, if he's another Vince Young then he's a huge no no. However he also compares favorably, on the field, to Big Ben. Junior QB, big arm, spread offense.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Vince Young would be a lot cheaper

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
I would never ever ever draft any of these guys that play in the spread offense unless it was in the 5th round on down. Bad decision by Newton IMO. What team in the first round would take a risk on this guy? Well, someone drafted Tebow in the 1st round so anything is possible.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
The spread offense concern is overblown, in my opinion. If the player is smart and very hard working, he can learn to read defenses at the NFL level.
The bigger reason I don't know about Cam is the accuracy. He's just a little inconsistent with it. Accuracy trumps all at the NFL level, it's more important than arm strength or size or athleticism. Smart and accurate, that's how I like my QBs. I don't know how bright he is, but I know he's not accurate enough for me.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Who's the "Aaron Rodgers" of this year's draft? I want that guy...

Rodgers is a strong arm mobile QB, Locker is a strong armed extremely mobile QB. Of course this doesn't mean that Locker is going to be good, rather it just means that Locker is the most similar player to Rodgers in terms of draft day situation.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
I'd rather trade down and take Locker than reach on any of these other guys. In fact, the best case would be if he were to fall to the second round and be able to snatch him there while still trading down in the first.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Personally I think that if we trade down we should take Christian Ponder, not Locker. Ponder has excellent intelligence, accuracy, mobility, and intangibles. While his arm is not the strongest, he makes up for it by being a creative leader.

Re: ESPN Say's Newton To Enter Draft
Aw, shucks.
I've read about and watched game videos of a bunch of draftable QB's. Ponder is the one who seems to me most likely to be a solid starter. Not only that, I think he will be ready to play as early as any other QB in this class. What he doesn't have can be remedied in the film or weight rooms, whereas other QB's in this class seem to have drawbacks which are more difficult to fix. I say use the #10 pick on a defensive beast (like Von Miller or Cameron Jordan) or trade down to still grab a defensive beast later in the first round. Then draft Ponder in a later round.
