Combine/Draft opinion's so far.......

There's a couple things that I have noticed so far. Some I like and some I don't:

First and for most I want nothing to do with Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert. Before the combine I wasn't a fan of either and even more so now then before. Cam has A LOT to work on..... yes he is an impressive athlete, but as far as his throws he needs to put in a lot of time which is something we don't have. As far as Blaine Gabbert goes, I think not throwing today doesn't really hurt him to much, but I did catch him saying that his pro day is more of a "controlled environment" which in my opinion is crap. If there's millions on the table, I'm going out and working every drill and showing I have nothing to hide, pretty much everyone else threw. Also heard Todd McShay say that Ryan Mallett/Christian Ponder were the top two as far as throws today (which doesn't mean much because no one is in their face) but say we hopefully got best defensive player available in the first, I would not mind taking one of these two guys in the second.

What else I know. Von Miller is a freak, I've heard/watched him through his whole junior and senior seasons and while I think he would be great for our team (at either DE or OLB) I'm afraid he is going to be gone by the 8th pick. Robert Quinn is not the player Von Miller is....... Too much is in Miller's favor right now: better combine, senior bowl, and actually playing this past season.

Also I would not mind taking Marcell Dareus at 8, but once again with what he showed today in his combine workout (out performing Nick Fairley) shows that he could be the top DT in this Draft........ maybe the #1 overall pick. I am not a Fairley fan at all, did not hear anything about the guy until right before the National Championship game. Just my opinion, but he kind of reminds me of a guy with the last name of Haynesworth and not in a good way (ring any bells Washington?)

Tomorrow is going to be the Patrick Peterson and Prince Amukamara show. Either one of these guys would be a great addition to our team and both are the "shutdown" corners you hear about. There's only two in the league right now so you know they are pretty rare. Peterson will most likely me gone, but Prince is no scrub to Peterson. Big fan of these two and really they are the reason this class is so solid as far as cornerbacks. Not much to say for the rest.

Not that this topic really affects us, but Julio Jones showed up yesterday. Outperformed A.J. Green, but heard some people talking on NFL Network about the possibility of him jumping A.J. and I thought have they lost their mind?! I believe Julio may have forced his way into the top 10 with his performance though. Did you see that broad jump?!
