Gary Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 There has been talk that the Panthers will take Newton with the 1st pick. When was the last time the Heisman Trophy winner was the first pick the year after he won the trophy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 That'd be Carson Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Carson Palmer in 2003?I'm actually pretty excited for the draft and starting it Thursday in primetime was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Carson Palmer in 2003?I'm actually pretty excited for the draft and starting it Thursday in primetime was the best.Is anyone else not a fan of the draft being just the first round and starting in primetime? I always enjoyed making a day out of the draft when it started early in the afternoon and you'd get at least the first couple rounds.Now if you have a team drafting in the bottom 5 of the first round, you'll have to watch about 2 hours plus of coverage before your pick. That is if they don't trade down at the last second, and you're SOL until the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If it wasn't such a ratings spectacle, I'd say five minutes per pick. It'd take 7 hours tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC2 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Being a Panther fan, and an Oregon Duck fan, the possibility of Cam Newton being picked by the Panthers is making me crap myself. I am hoping they pick Patrick Peterson, honestly.I just care who the Panthers take, and where my Oregon guys go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I would love it if the Cowboys somehow traded up to 5 and got Peterson. I think they'll just get an OT, which isn't awful but not as great as Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I hope falls down to the Lions, would love to see the former Apollo Standout in a Lions jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at CB if Peterson isn't available they won't take one until later. Also I could see JJ Watt being taken by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 1. Carolina - Cam Newton2. Denver - Von Miller3. Buffalo - Marcel Dareus4. Cincinnati - AJ Green5. Arizona - Blaine GabbertThat's how I think the Top 5 is going to breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/28/schefter-90-chance-the-broncos-take-von-miller/Crap. Since Miller will more than likely be gone (Buffalo), hopefully they can trade down and make some extra magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 To the surprise of no one, Cam Newton goes #1 overall.Here's a story that might not make it to the news wire, but it's something I noticed...for whatever reason, Cam Newton was wearing an UnderArmour lapel pin in the backstage area. After his name was called, someone removed it before he walked onstage. Wonder what that was all about...(On another note: I must've missed the memo...but why is the draft being held on a Thursday??? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love Von Miller... reminds me of a young Derrick Thomas, who is one of my top 5 favorite football players of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
