I'm kind of hoping Newton is there when we pick (though I don't think he will be) so we can trade that pick and move down for more picks....Say's Law (kind of)

I would love to see that happen, but the only way it will is if Miami wants him real bad and thinks Minnesota is gonna take him, if we pass. Of course maybe teams in 1-8 trade back and then trade back up with us to get him?

I wouldnt mind trading up to get him in the second round if hes still hanging around.

SS, what makes you so sure that Shanny would not take Newton?

I'm not. I mean in many ways he would be just what Shanny wants. It's just a gut feeling

I don't think Newton would be ready to contribute for at least 2 years. I've heard some people say 3 years. I'd rather get a guy who is more pro-ready. Newton played one year in the spread offense. Yeah, it was a spectacular year. But this guy was the QB of a JuCo just over a year ago.

Not only that, and I agree with you, most of his positive stats were with wide-open WRs. Newton is talented but that is not the issue here, remember JC was also thought of as being talented. He is not ready at this level and IMHO would be a big mistake.

The drop back QB in this offense is the way to go.

Let's wait till next year when Barkley and Luck will be available to draft

Thanks, that's cool. Like Dirtbag (although to a lesser extent) I fear that Newton is on Shanny's wish list.

I doubt that. What evidence can I produce, none. But every QB Shanahan has drafted was a pure drop back, in the pocket QB.

Newton would require way too much "hurry-up schooling" to execute all the reads necessary to find the open man. I just don't think Mike would have the patience for nursing him. McNabb has been around a long time and Shanahan benched him because Donovan was playing poorly. I just don't agree with your prognostication that Shanahan is fascinated with Newton.

Another Vince Young? No thanks...
