Illinois fan here. Have watched Newton his whole career.

Johnny Newton is possibly my favorite player of all time.

Great kid on and off the field. A super hard worker.

He was literally the highest rated DT by PFF over the last few years. The kid was disruptive on both offense and defense, and there were times he was being triple teamed. only player I've ever seen get triple teamed.

He is a great pass rusher, incredibly fast and athletic (was a RB in high school), and doesnt take plays off.

Easily the best player on the field in every game he played this season. A real stud.

If he stays healthy, and I think he will, Newton is going to be the steal of this draft.

Wow. This is a fantastic endorsement. Have to admit, I was surprised by the pick but now I see why. Commanders loaded at dt!

They dropped deep into the 2nd, thinking that is OT and TE zone, perhaps even lb

Hmmm I think whoever is making trades for the Panthers this year is a better negotiator than who we have. They got pick #52, 155 and a 2d next year for pick 39.

Do what? The panthers only moved up one spot from 33 to 32.



Full terms of the trade:

Buffalo receives No. 33 overall (R2) and No. 141 overall (R5)
Carolina receives No. 32 overall (R1) and No. 200 overall (R6)


I wouldn't call that better negotiation.

I'm talking about the trade they made with the Rams just before our 40th pick.

Rams trade w/Panthers for 39th pick
Rams receive: 39th overall pick
Panthers receive: 52nd, 155th and 2025 second-round pick
L.A. uses the 39th pick to get their coveted pass rusher: Braden Fiske, who had five sacks during his final three games with the Seminoles.

There’s a plan afoot in Ashburn that isn’t apparent yet. I hope it’s not a case of Brock Purdy syndrome

They've decided impact players aren't as important as good players. In other words. They'd rather have 2 Bs instead of an A and a C

[skinsnut]

If I were them at this point, I'd trade both 2s for 4 3s and just load of on B players and hope the volume play works out

Depends on how they value the talent. If they believe those guys still in the 2nd round would normally be 3rd or 4th rounders in a better talent pool draft, then that's definitely what they should do.

Another rule, never trade with a superior Front Office. Until we prove otherwise, we are average. Philly is really good

Hate the trade.

I sound like a broke record but one year we swapped 2nds with Dallas. They moved up to get Demarcus Lawrence. We got Trent Murphy.
We need DBs and Otackles. Hate day 2 so far.

Let's hope this doesn't happen again.......

Like the pick, tho.

[skinsnut]

We better get Sumatra OT at this point or similar
