And that's a wise move. We've got other areas to focus on besides WR.

"Washington RedskinsRecord: 6-10* Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
A gifted athlete, Newton has good arm strength and size, has developing accuracy and continues to show that the more you ask him as a passer, the more he'll develop. This spot might be a bit high based on his current grade in the eyes of scouts, but Newton's skill-set is such that personnel people are going to become more enamored, if they already aren't. Newton has character questions that need to be answered, but the Redskins have a long-term need at this position and the prospect of developing Newton is a tantalizing one."

I feel like Cam Newton has bust written all over him.

I'll defer to Shanahan on this one. He's different than JC. Most, if not all the scouts weren't high on JC. They didn't feel he was 1st round material. They thought he had a chance to be an ok NFL qb, but he was a major project. Most scouts are fairly high on Cam. I haven't really seen him all that much but seems to have some pretty good passing skills. Not saying we should pick him but if MS see something I'm ok w/ it.

He saw something in Jay Cutler and he's pretty good and getting better.

I appreciate Mel knowledge and perspective...but his mock drafts usually not close. I think alot of teams blow smoke trying to be deceptive when they give him info...last year he got right only 2 of the 32 first round picks.

Maybe Czaban was talking about his first mock? I mean I'm sure Kiper may change his opinion several times between now and April as more info comes in

To me his accuracy isn't a big deal. He's trying to project team needs, player rank, etc

One team, trade, etc can throw off the whole thing
