Biggest reach in the draft

Of the players I had watched Locker would be my pick. Can't understand what they were seeing but wow!

I'd have to agree, no way was Newton worth the #1 overall pick. Only reason I wanted him to go #1 overall was to make Peterson fall to us.

Don't know...... Last year, Locker was the consensus #1 overall pick if he had come out. Would be kind of like next year if Luck has a so-so season, does that make him a non-top ten pick?

For me, even though it was not a surprise, the biggest reach was Newton.

this x1000

Definitly Newton at #1... such a panic move.

Second biggest is Locker, he is Leinart 2.0. Not in terms of skill or character but how he was in the debate as the #1 QB available a year earlier, then got a little exposed for his accuracy. Where Leinart sucks as a person and arm strength, Locker may not ever develop the accuracy needed to hit the small windows in the NFL causing him to eventually flame out.

Certainly though Newton was unworthy of the #1, but based just off of perceived value, these picks were the biggest for me. (first 2 rds)

1. James Carpenter {rd 1 / Seattle}
2. Jonas Mouton {rd 2 / SD}
3. Jaiquan Jarrett {rd 2 / Philly}

His receivers were crap Ill give you that, I still saw allot of innacuracy not due to drops from the few husky games I watched. Other than the 4 husky games Ive seen him in, I haven't seen much else from him, but what I did see wasn't overwhelming in the accuracy department. So when the scouts had that knock on him, in my head it was like "that makes sense".

But you could be right, and I only saw a couple of his bad showings which every QB has. Also, my first impression of him was the state championship game when he was with Ferndale... he didnt look like a legit QB but more like the best athlete in the state playing QB. Compared to other highschool QB's like Barkley or Jake Heaps who I've watched firsthand and was just blown away by their arms.

I feel bad for the Panthers, how do they not see what an obvious douche he is?

Newton is gonna be a good football player. Im not sure he will be the star he was in college but he will be a winning QB.

Your viewpoint on Alex Smith makes perfect sense now.

Yah, Im the only one the world who think he sucks.

James Carpenter to Seattle. When you take a 2nd-3rd round guy in the 1st, you deserve to be a laughing stock.
