Whis Is At Auburns Pro Day
- Thread starter Gee!
- Start date
There should be a good 15 teams there just for Cam alone.

Between Fairley and Newton, there should be no fewer than 20-25 teams with senior personnel people in attendance.
Yamon, 2 dudes probably going in the top 10.
Where will Whis be March 17th?
and will Cards be drafting for the Eagles or themselves?

I would wager they are looking at Fairley more than they are Newton.

Seems like a no brainer considering there are two possible top 5 picks on hand. I guess there has been some inferences drawn by some because Whis chose Auburn over Arkansas, but considering Mallett has already performed very well, and Cam probably needs a second look I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.
Fairley is certainly a force. My problem with him is that he is so young and immature. I think it will take a couple of years for him to develop into the star he is capable of being. If you want a guy at his position to contribute now I think you might consider one of the other good choices.
Newton is either an all star or a bust. I see no in between for him. Some are now suggesting the Panthers may take him with the first pick. Some see him going later in round one. The fact we are at Auburn seems to suggest he is still in our picture. Had we not been there I think we could have clearly ruled him out. I do not see Newton becoming as good as last years first round QB pick who I think is slated for stardom. As our old coach DG would say he is what we thought he was. I suggest St Louis is the team to beat in the West this year.

Since both Pro Days are so early in the process, I'm guessing that each will have a private workout with any of the teams who are looking to draft them. I'm sure that Keim or Graves or (either?) Miller are at Arkansas, anyway.

Roughly 150 NFL officials are on hand for Auburns pro day..

No biggie IMO all 32 teams will have someone there. I still don't think there's a chance the Cards would even consider selecting Newton...now Fairley thats a differant story.

Is he big enough to set the middle in the 3-4?
Otherwise, if he and Dan Williams can generate a consistent pass rush up the interior, WATCH OUT - this D could become lethal.
I could see him as the pick if Gabbart and Peterson are gone, ahead of Von Miller.
Apparently Newton is killing it on his pro day.

Read a rumor or possibility that the Cards could draft a player for the Eagles at #5 and that pick would be packaged in a deal for Kolb.
March 17th is Gabbert's pro day at Mizzou. He is my pick if the Kolb thing doesn't work out.

Good deal. Me too. I think he's going to Buffalo though.
I hope Buffalo takes Newton and leaves Gabbert alone. Bengals also.
With Buffalo's recent history for whiffs at 1st round picks of QB, i.e. Trent Edwards, J P Lohsman, maybe they will lay low until the 2nd round and grab Mallet or Ponder.
Nothing shocking. They were saying on ESPN radio the pro days are the easiest for a QB to shine. Nothing but scripted throws and routes all geared toward the QB's strengths with WR's he has perfect timing with.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
Why is it not valuable to see what a QB can do once he builds a repoirt with his receivers?
I was thinking the same thing. I'd go with an eye toward that being the topside of the prospect. Let me see what he is going to be like making the scripted throws we have in our offense to professional receivers he's worked with for a couple of years.
Nobody said it wasn't.
Why is that the only comment you are referring to? There is a lot to be said where the only throws a guy makes in a pro day are all scripted to his strengths and nothing else. Of course you are going to look good. The broadcasters were specifically saying its VERY rare for a QB to look bad on a pro day. Just doesn't happen much.
This.
Has a QB ever looked bad at their Pro Day?
